Character: Hank Venture
Series: The Venture Bros.
Age: Around 16
Canon:

The Venture Bros. is a bit like the Saturday morning cartoon shows you grew up on… if those characters had to deal with the same sort of real world problems the rest of us do. The story centers on former Boy Adventurer Rusty Venture and his middle aged troubles. There are bills to pay and twin boys to raise all while fending off attacks from professional arch villains. Life in the super science business is rough all over, especially when you will never live up to the legend of your father. It’s no wonder the main theme of the show is “failure”.

Hank Venture is one half of the twins the show is named after. He is more athletic and gung-ho than his brother Dean, but has a slimmer grasp of reality. This manifests in strange leaps of logic and his tendency to sound like bad dialogue from action movies. Despite his age, Hank is just discovering girls and only has one friend besides his brother. It’s not all his fault; he’s never even been to school since he has a subliminal learning device built into his bed. His frequent flights of fancy, like many of his traits, would be far more appropriate for a younger kid. But despite his ignorance, he’s always ready for an adventure. After all, he’s going to be Batman when he grows up.


Sample Post:

Boss! It is a real summer camp. I thought when Dad said I could go to camp he for sure meant, like, a little day camp for babies. But this is the real deal! Cabins, canoes and I bet that is a fire pit where they roast hot dogs and marshmallows or maybe even a squirrel, after we get our squirrel trapping badges. I bet some night we will sit around the fire and tell ghost stories, and I’ll probably be super popular when everyone hears how I totally beat up Phantom Space Man. Yep, they’re gonna be all over me when I tell the story. And this camp had better have some girls in it. Chicks can’t resist The Hankinator. This is going to be even better than the time our plane crashed outside her show and we got to meet Dame Edna! And let me tell you, she was one classy lady.

Okay, I gotta ask, gorilla guy. What is your deal? No offense, but you look like the bad end of some kind of radioactive super-monkey… experiment. Did you get some kind of crazy powers? Like, super strength or your eyes shoot high power monkey-beams. Or maybe, like, you can eat a whole bunch of bananas all at once without getting sick! That would be a neato superpower. Yep, it’s gotta be some kind of mutation or science stuff. When you picked me up earlier I could tell it wasn’t a rubber mask. Trust me, I would know, I see them all the time. Come to think of it, a lot of them tried to bad touch me too…

Oh! Are you one of King Gorilla’s henchmen? He’s a gorilla too, only I think he can talk! And maybe, like, command jungle animals? I don’t think he hates my dad though… Wait, you’re not gonna kidnap me or anything, are you? Lame. Couldn’t you at least, like, hit me with a tranquilizer dart or offer me some candy or something? That’s how it usually goes down. Just try not to be too rough, I still have rope burns from the last time Dean and I got captured. Plus, Dad told me if I get rabies from a monkey bite one more time he isn’t going to treat it because I need to “learn my lesson,” whatever that means. It’s not like he’s ever taught us anything! Everything I need to know, I learn in bed.

Don’t look now, gorilla guy, but I think those are… Holy crap! They ARE zombies! Okay, don’t… panic! Don’t. Panic. Just think: What would Batman do?
