Giovanni Potage

Personality:   Appearance: Giovanni is a tall lanky young man with white skin and pink hair. His new villain outfit includes a matching orange and black skirt and cape, orange shirt, black helmet with an orange screen, and white boots. He is also wearing black armor with a white 'X' in the middle and white knee pads. His previous Banzai Captain uniform included a yellow suit with white boots and a red cape. He wears a jacket and jeans as casual wear, alongside black nail polish on occasion. Personality: Giovanni is a very ambitious troublemaker who loves baseball, robots and anything edgy. He has dreams of one day becoming the greatest supervillain of all time. Giovanni usually tries to look cool and menacing (when it really just comes off as pathetic), this was shown in "Quiet in the Museum!", when he attempts to knock over a potted plant to prove that he is a "Certified Bad Dude™" and fails. He appears to have very low self-esteem, as he often boasts greatly, which is a sign often seen in those who don't think highly of themselves. Giovanni believes that his epithet "soup" doesn't sound cool or threatening at all, and may even be embarrassed by it, so he tries to make his attacks sound cooler by calling scalding soup "lava" or steam "demon energy". Despite being one of the "bad guys" he seems to have a secret soft side as he is shown to care deeply about each and every one of his minions, even if he's willing to mess with them at times. He has sworn to never abuse his authority or steal his minions' hard labor, and goes so far as to quit the Banzai Blasters entirely when convinced that the only way to get ahead is to do so. He appears to have had a strange idea of what being a Banzai Blaster meant in the first place, as despite it being a blatantly corrupt pyramid scheme, he believed it was a place for youths to channel their energy positively through crime. When his batch hadn't been given a leader due to not being deemed worthwhile, Giovanni displayed leadership skills and organized activities and crimes for the group, allowing them to grow closer, inadvertently winning him their loyalty. When he quit, his Boys were more than happy to join him, despite Giovanni's complete lack of planning. He's very emotional as shown when he cries very easily and has quite the temper. Bat Proficiency: Giovanni is shown to be quite skilled at wielding a baseball bat. Giovanni claims that when it comes to baseball, he cannot be beaten, and he seemingly has multiple trophies in his room to prove it. He uses his custom made "Soul Slugger Doom Bat of Maximum Destruction", which is a baseball bat with a knife taped to it. Epithet: Soup: Giovanni's epithet allows him to create and control soup, which ends up having a wide variety of applications due to his high creativity: Lava Acid Lav-acid: Giovanni can form orbs of tomato basil soup out of thin air. This ball of soup is also described as scalding by Giovanni. Lava Grenade: Giovanni creates a scalding hot orb of soup that he can launch at an area. When it hits the floor, it explodes, hitting enemies in its vicinity. Demon Energy Aura: Giovanni creates a whirlwind of soupy energy, capable of blasting dust particles away. Teleports Behind You*: Giovanni builds up steam around him, using this for a sudden burst of speed to the point where it looks like teleportation to observers. This can also be used to give himself a large jump. Fog of Lost Souls: Giovanni covers the area with a blanket of thick, delicious-smelling fog, useful for making a getaway. It also restores 1 HP for anyone standing in it. Soup That is Too Hot: This is Giovanni's self-proclaimed ultimate attack. He can increase the temperature of soup, without a line of sight. Ancient Potion: Giovanni sweats a bottle of healthy soup that he can drink to regain 15 HP. Giovanni can only use this move once per battle. CRITICAL 13: As 13 is Giovanni's lucky number, every 13th attack he performs deals extra damage. This can be charged up ahead of time by gently knocking objects. This ability is not related to his epithet. Silent But Deadly: A combo technique he performs with Molly Blyndeff, Charging at the opponent screaming with a Critical 13 attack ready, while Molly deafens the opponent so that are unaware of him approaching. Backstory: He grew up with his two moms. Giovanni was an outcast among his family and, during family get-togethers, would get beaten up by the Roughhouses (especially Moxie Roughhouse). During one infamous get-together, Giovanni humiliated himself by eating a hot coal that he thought was candy, resulting in him burning his mouth. He then kept on accidentally reopening the wound while training his Epithet "soup," causing him to become mostly taste deaf. Trixie and Rex were the only Roughhouses who didn't beat up Giovanni, because they were relatively younger than him. This caused Giovanni to play with them more frequently until the three became close friends with each other. He became a member of a Banzai Blasters squad with Ben, Flamethrower, Car Crash, Spike, Crusher, and Dark Star, without a leader. Initially wanted to be called "Hot Shot" but he would end up with the nickname "Creampuff ” to mock him for bringing a tray of homemade pastries to their squad’s first meeting as a way to say hello to his new teammates. Whenever the group was in danger of settling into that “standing around in a parking lot and doing nothing” flavor of teenage boredom typical of a Banzai Blaster squad, Giovanni would "light a fire under them". They had show-and-tell nights where they would see who could steal and present the strangest item. Winners got star stickers. One time, they snuck into a convenience store and replaced all of the gas station hot dogs with cattails from a nearby pond. Giovanni had so many ideas for things to do that following his plans became second nature. Dark Star jokingly called him “Boss” and the nickname stuck. Later, He was promoted to Banzai Captain. Formulating a plan to break into Sweet Jazz City Museum, wanting to break in at midnight but had to do it earlier due to not having a ride that come take them at that time.
