History:
(Spider-Boy II#17 (fb) - BTS) - The super-powered siblings known as the
Bada-Bros made a name for themselves as mercenaries.
(Spider-Boy II#17 (fb) - BTS) - The Bada-Bros were hired by Killionaire
to destroy the F.E.A.S.T. homeless shelter in the East Village so the
wealthy influencer could buy up the location, tear it down and use the
space to build his newest project, The Killzone. He offered to pay the
Bada-Bros in bitcoin.
(Spider-Boy II#17 - BTS) - Before staging the hit, the Bada-Bros
surveyed the area around F.E.A.S.T. for any possible threats or
complications to their mission.
(Spider-Boy II#17) - When the Bada-Bros spotted Spider-Boy near
F.E.A.S.T., they contacted Killionaire to announce they were raising
their price. Killionaire refused to pay them "even a single bitcoin
more", stating that Spider-Boy was not a threat comparable to
Spider-Man. They cheekily reminded their client he had been beaten
repeatedly by the young hero.
(Spider-Boy II#17) - The Bada-Bros launched their attack
on F.E.A.S.T., using their energy bombs to blast through a wall of the
shelter, scaring off most of the occupants. The explosion alerted Boyd
Briggs, who was at home in Tabitha Briggs' upstairs apartment.
Concerned for his mother's safety, he changed into his Boy-Spider gear
and went to investigate. He arrived in time to save Christina Xu from
one of the Bada-Bros' energy bombs that they were hurling at stragglers. He
was soon joined by Spider-Boy, who helped his 'brother' Boy-Spider fight
off the Bada-Bros. Their mother Tabitha cheered her sons on, but asked
them to try not to destroy the entire F.E.A.S.T. center. This made the
Bada-Bros realize their opponents' weakness was their mother. They
combined their power to form their trademark big bada-bing, bada-boom,
bada-bang explosion that they hurled towards Mrs. Briggs.
(Spider-Boy II#17 - BTS) - Spider-Boy intercepted the
projectile and hurled it towards the shelter's reinforced pantry.
Boy-Spider held the door shut with his spider-legs, keeping the
destruction limited to the F.E.A.S.T. storage area.
(Spider-Boy II#17) - Having failed in their mission, the Bada-Bros tried
to sneak away, but they were caught by Spider-Boy who took the brothers
out by slamming their heads together.
Comments: Created by Dan Slott, Nathan Stockman.
Bada-bing-bada-bang, hey, fahgedaboutit! Very little is known about the Bada-Bros, not even their names... But they
sound, act and dress in such a stereotypically Italian-American way, I'd be surprised
if at least one of them wasn't named Tony. Given the fact that they are
impervious to each other's powers, it stands to reason the brothers are
mutants, in much the same way that Alex, Scott and Gabriel Summers are immune
to their siblings' energy blasts.
