Do you know what it's like not being able to use your legs? I had a destiny, I was supposed to die out there in the field with honor and you cheated me out of it. This wasn't supposed to happen to me
—Fighter Fly to Bugs Bunny, 2019
Fighter Fly is a former member of the Bowser Army who first appeared in the Mario Bros. arcade shame. He fought alongside Bugs Bunny in The War, we aren't sure what war, just "The War". This is where he faced his horrific accident, leaving his entire lower body paralyzed, including his genitals.
History[]
Early Childhood[]
Born on October 7th 1946, Fighter Fly lived a hard childhood. His father Barry B. Benson was not yet the family man he became when meeting Vanessa, he was an enraged alcoholic. He and his mother lived in fear of Barry, finding comfort and love in each other's arms despite him.
This all changed however, 8 years later in an alcoholic rage Barry threatened Fighter Fly's mom's life, holding a broken beer bottle to her throat. The pair escaped in the night and made their way to Lego City, where his mother was forced to provide for Fighter Fly by selling her body on the streets.
To save up for an apartment away from the crime ridden city, Fighter Fly joined the Bowser Army and was deployed to the sewers of Lego City, which is where the events of the Mario Bros. Arcade Shame take place.
Adulthood[]
At age 20, he moved out of his Lego City flat and into a small apartment in Albequrque, NM, where he met Bugs Bunny. By this point Fighter Fly was a broken man, but Buggs gave him the simple happiness that a friend brings, and a glimpse of the normal life he never had. Still though, he was broken. Every smile that came across Fighter Fly's face was one coated in the sadness that cast over his life since birth, noted Bugs Bunny in a 2009 interview.
Fighter Fly's life would soon have purpose, however. At age 23, Fighter Fly was drafted into The War.
