The Humungus

Background

The Lord Humungus "The Warrior of the Wasteland", "The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Roll-ah" is the leader of The Humungus' Gang in the wasteland of Australia. He has a weapons case with black and white photos and military ribbons and badges.

During the events of The Road Warrior (1981) played by Kjell Nilsson

The Humungus and his Gang start harassing The Refinery Settlers. One evening, The Humungus and his Gang drive away from the refinery. In the morning, a group of vehicles leave the refinery and drive in different directions. The Humungus and his Gang catch the vehicles and then drive up to the refinery. 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. Wez demands they go in and kill them, but The Humungus chokes him unconscious after telling him they will have their revenge after they get the gas. The Humungus has Bearclaw Mohawk take Wez away and then makes his offer. He 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. He and his gang then leave. Wez hears the semi heading towards the refinery and alerts everyone. The Humungus shoots at the semi's engine, which brushes a tent over, exposing Tent Lovers. Wez, who had jumped onto the semi, attacks Max while a member of The Humungus' Gang starts to shoot out the semi tires. The Gyro Captain throws his dead snake on the Gang member who shoots the driver in the back. The Refinery Settlers briefly open the gates and Max makes it in along with two of The Humungus' Gang's vehicles before it is closed. Max runs to the flame thrower Pappagallo was manning and forces The Humungus' Gang back. That night The Refinery Settlers that had been captured are tortured in The Humungus' camp as he yells out poetry. Wez hears Max drive away and steals The Humungus' vehicle to chase after Max. Later, Max drives out of the refinery in the semi followed by Pappagallo in his own vehicle and The Gyro Captain in his gyrocopter. A battle erupts between Max and those in the semi and The Humungus and his Gang. The Humungus throws a trident and kills Pappagallo. The Gyro Captain drops a Molotov Cocktail on The Humungus, and a Gang member shoots the gyrocopter down. Once The Humungus sees the tanker is only filled with sand, The Humungus has the majority of The Humungus' Gang stay back while he drives straight at the semi. 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.
