The Feral Kid

The Feral Kid

Background

The Feral Kid is a feral child living on the outskirts of The Refinery Settlers' settlement in Australia. He has a metal boomerang and a Chain Mail glove.

During the events of The Road Warrior (1981) played by Emil Minty

Shortly after Max arrives at the refinery, The Humungus and The Humungus' Gang show up. The Toadie introduces The Humungus who chastises The Refinery Settlers for attempting a puny plan. Defiant Victim yells to give Humungus nothing and Wez runs up and headbutts him. The Feral Kid throws his metal boomerang at Wez, who ducks it and when The Feral Kid throws it again, it hits Golden Youth in the head, killing him. Wez throws the boomerang back at The Feral Kid and misses him and when it is returning, The Toadie tries to catch it and has his fingers cut off. After his Gang laughs at The Toadie, Humungus tells them to be quiet and says he has an offer for The Refinery Settlers. The Humungus tells The Refinery Settlers if they leave everything, he will give them safe passage out of the wasteland, and they have one day to decide. After The Humungus leaves, The Feral Kid shows Max his boomerang and Max gives The Feral Kid the music chime he found. Max makes a deal with The Refinery Settlers to find a semi to transport their fuel tanker. As he is sneaking through The Humungus' Gang's camp, he falls into a trench and as Bearclaw Mohawk starts to walk to where Max is hiding, The Feral Kid starts howling like a dog and Bearclaw Mohawk eventually walks away after throwing a rock towards the howling. Max returns with a semi and as he is packing his vehicle to leave the refinery, The Feral Kid tries to leave with Max, but Max shoos him away. Max leaves, but is injured and brought back to the refinery by The Gyro Captain. Max makes another deal to drive the semi and tanker and The Feral Kid manages to sneak onto the semi, which also has Warrior Woman, Zetta and Mechanic riding on it. A battle erupts between Max and those in the semi and The Humungus and his Gang. After everyone else on the semi is killed, but The Feral Kid and Max, Max helps The Feral Kid into the cab of the semi. Wez and Bearclaw Mohawk attack the semi cab and Pappagallo drives next to the semi and tells The Feral Kid to jump to him, but is killed by a trident thrown by The Humungus. Max tells The Feral Kid to get a shotgun shell that had fallen on the hood of the cab. As The Feral Kid is grabbing for the shell, Wez grabs towards him. Max manages to pull The Feral Kid into the cab shortly before The Humungus rams the semi, causing it to crash and killing him, Wez and Bearclaw Mohawk. An injured Max climbs out of the wreckage with The Feral Kid and The Gyro Captain drives up. The Gyro Captain brings The Feral Kid and Max to the rendezvous. The Feral Kid leaves with The Refinery Settlers and after The Gyro Captain becomes their new leader and then dies, The Feral Kid takes over as the chief of the Great Northern Tribe.
