- Hooligan is an alien thug from the Marvel portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Hailing from the planet Mil-Wal, and with a reputation for being the toughest mechanoid this side of Funghurus Six, Hooligan is the champion fighter in the deadly games at the Jekka Amphitheatre. Some might speculate that Hooligan fights in the arena because he is forced to, but they would be wrong—Hooligan really loves to fight!
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Marvel UK Generation 1 comics
When the Jekka Amphitheatre was reopened by an alliance between the Decepticons and the alien Zabra, Hooligan spent his days killing scores of weak, helpless Autobots and other prisoners, including Chameleon, in front of a paying audience. This reign of terror was brought to an end when Hooligan was pitted against Ultra Magnus, who wiped the floor with him and Zabra too. Magnus made an impassioned speech about the sanctity of life and Hooligan was presumably incarcerated or exiled, rather than executed. Deadly Games!
Notes
- Mil-Wal is identified as Hooligan's home planet on the cover of Marvel UK #171 (as seen to the right). This is an obvious reference to Millwall F.C., a British football team with a reputation for hooliganism amongst their fans.
- As well as possessing considerable fighting prowess, Hooligan can see in heat vision when he needs to.
- He is explicitly described as a mechanoid despite looking decidedly organic in parts, especially around the mouth and arms. This could be down to Dan Reed's distinctive art style, however.
