History[]
Joe Scummer was a character in the 2000 AD strip Bad Company. A soldier fighting against the Krool on Ararat, he became one of the first to join the renegade group Bad Company led by the mysterious Kano.
Scummer fought alongside Kano and the others for a while. When traversing the hallucinogenic Golgotha Plains, Scummer lost his mind and went on a shooting spree before stealing Kano's black box, hoping to find out its contents. (It was in truth what Kano believed to be half of his brain, and he refused to let the others see it.) Scummer was about to open the box before Kano opened fire on his comrade, emptying several rounds into his body before finally stopping.
Years later, Kano encountered Joe Scummer again on the planet referred to only as 'the good planet'. Scummer helped Kano fight against the Frankenstein Corps that had been killing the villagers. It was later revealed that Scummer had been resurrected as a ghost by the planet's mysterious powers. Scummer eventually followed Thrax, who believed that Kano had gotten weak with age. The two of them walked off into the mist, where they vanished.
