#32 - Parademon (K'Ray)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/0/4/AAOJ0pAADaQ0.png

The first Secret Six member on my list!

The Secret Six is a group of villains who are against the Society. Their initial roster was Cheshire, Fiddler, Ragdoll, Scandal Savage, Deadshot and Catman. They were brought together by an unknown individual who goes by the name Mockingbird. Mockingbird keeps the Secret Six together by threats, bribes and fear. He has something that each of the six of them want and/or need, and he has the resources to give it to them... if they work with him to take down the Society. Most of them also have their own reasoning for being against the Society, so for a lot of them, this is win/win.

We quickly allied with the Secret Six and Mockingbird gave them, and us, a mission to go to Toronto, to defeat Steppenwolf. When we get there, we quickly learn this mission won't be possible. For thousands, if not more, of Parademons are dropping in the city and attacking it. The party separates from the members of the Secret Six who accompanied them and they tell us to scout the city, try to find any information we can on the Parademons and to not be heroes - stay alive.

We meet some Canadian heroes, some equated, some still fighting back and we make a decision to try to capture a Parademon - what better why to find out information than actually take one prisoner? Bloodfruit flies up to catch the attention of one of them, Brennus leaps on it's back and flies it into the side of the building and then Rosetta clubs it over the head. In teh scuffle, one of his antannae broke and this messed with his head. When Brennus goes to knock it out, he calls out to him "Vertigo!". Brennus stops and asks how he knows his father, but the Parademon is confused and can't answer him and introduces himself as K'Ray.

K'Ray, due to the broken antenna, has been an ally to us and the Secret Six since. His mental fortitude is childish. He's become closest with Ragdoll, who he thinks is a funny clown. He loves pain and is terrified of pleasure - if you want to threaten him for information it works better to attempt to give him a massage or tickle him. When the Secret Six found themselves needing more members, he was the natural addition. He will always listen to orders, especially if they come from Ragdoll. He absolutely fills the trope of a gentle giant, weirdly enough, and I think he's charmed most of the party. It's kind of weird to think though that the only reason he has this cooperative behavoir is because of the broken antenna which has basically given him brain damage. He gets confused very easily and has never truly been able to answer Brennus' questions about how he knows Vertigo. It seems that Vertigo must have been in Canada, that is where K'Ray was stationed, but that's the extend that he's been able to tell us.

I do think he's the Secret Six member who has the least screentime / development, but that doesn't make him any less likeable. He's become a fixture in the Secret Six and in Z'onn Z'orr and even Mockingbird has seemed to accept him as a team member.

Hint for #31: This character spends the most time with Saoirse.
