History:
(The Dangerous Breakfast
(fb) - BTS) - Claiming to hail from the 23rd Century, Rude Boy had come
back to the present day to "have a laugh" by causing chaos and
disruption. However he had been stopped in the past by London-based
superheroes Dangerous Dave and Super HB.
(The Dangerous
Breakfast) - Rude Boy unleashed a Smog Monster on central
London, damaging air quality and bringing traffic to a standstill. As
they targeted the area around Trafalgar Square the pair were spotted by
Dawn Raid, piloting a Kiss Kraft surveillance plane for Roger Wild of
Kiss Kontrol. Wild in turn alerted the civilian identities of Dangerous
Dave and Super HB, who changed into their costumed personae and raced to
confront the miscreants. After dispatching the Smog Monster into outer
space the heroes confronted Rude Boy, who had been trying to slip off
quietly now his main weapon was gone. Annoyed that they had spoiled his
fun yet again, Rude Boy told them both to "Bog off" and pulled twin 23rd
century blasters on them, claiming he was ready for them this time.
While Super HB tried to calm him down before he started shooting, the
accident-prone Dangerous Dave was distracted trying to fix the bumper of
a car he had crash-landed on. Pulling at it a bit too hard in an effort
to fix it, he accidentally yanked it completely free and as he toppled
backwards the hero ended up throwing it into the unprepared Rude Boy,
causing the villain to drop both his blasters. The pair then wrapped the
bumper completely round Rude Boy to restrain him, and left him for the
police.

Rude Boy appeared in a promotional title
Marvel produced as a giveaway for London-based radio station Kiss-100
FM, more
on which can be found here. However, there's nothing in the story
that would prevent the events depicted from having taken place on
Marvel's mainstream reality, Earth-616. However Rude Boy claimed to come
from the future (making him a more villainous version of DC's Booster
Gold?), which by default would make him alternate reality since future
eras are not usually the "set" future of a given reality. However, the
Appendix isn't going to assign a reality number to his timeline at this
juncture, since the only thing we know is that Rude Boy came from there.
As such its feasible that it's a reality we already know about, such as
Spider-Man
2211's Earth-9500, or the Femizons'
Earth-715.
We don't see Rude Boy standing next to any
Marvel characters, so estimating his height (and thus weight) is tricky.
He's clearly not ridiculously short nor excessively tall. We do have one
panel where he's standing on level ground facing Super HB, and they are
pretty much identical in height (ignoring Rude Boy's two horns /
antennae), but despite Sarah HB being based on a real world individual I
can't find any mention of how tall she is. So I've gone with what I
think is a reasonably average height. In terms of weight, Rude Boy is
fairly buff looking, almost body builder proportions (though his armor
might well be providing fake muscles - he comes across as someone who
might be vain), so I've gone at the high end of what is considered a
good weight for that height.

The Smog Monster may have been created or just
summoned by Rude Boy's 23rd century technology, but regardless
of its origins it was under the felon's control, and he directed
to go on a wrecking frenzy in the heart of London, Despite being
made of gases, the Monster was able to handle solid matter,
lifting aloft cars in the region around Trafalgar Square.
Alerted to its actions by their surveillance plane pilot Dawn
Raid, the heroes Super HB and Dangerous Dave came to stop the
rampage, and since they couldn't risk a direct attack that might
disperse the choking smog across the vicinity the pair of heroes
instead rapidly flew in circles around it, generating a vortex
that sucked the monster into the sky and carried it out into
space, where it could do no harm. --The Dangerous Breakfast
