Boomstick



"IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!"

- Boomstick before the fight animation

Boomstick is a presenter of DEATH BATTLE! alongside Wiz. Being the comedic foil to Wiz, he's usually the one providing the comedy relief and making (usually inappropriate) jokes, and noting how hot several of the female competitors are. He still does help with giving information on the fighters, being a "Weapons Expert" of sorts. He's also started his own VS show, DBX, which he hosted for three seasons before getting replaced by Ringmaster in Season 4. He is portrayed by Chad James.

Personality
Boomstick might not seem very bright, but in truth, he can be very smart, especially when it comes to guns, as it's him, not Wiz who goes into all the science of them. Boomstick was also able to accurately determine the monetary value of a solid gold Chain Chomp within seconds of Wiz calculating its total weight, without any assistance from Wiz whatsoever, and Wiz himself is surprised by this.

Boomstick is apparently a bird expert but states he hates chickens after a bunch of them supposedly killed his grandfather.

He is shown to be easily tricked if he thinks he can get a superpower, like when Wiz tricked him into eating fire so he could get fire powers like Natsu.

Trivia
