- Hank, Madness Combat 7: Consternation

Were you looking for the fan-made V.S Hank High Effort mod, or Hank J. Wimbleton (VS. Online)

Hank J. Wimbleton, also called simply Hank is the main protagonist of the Madness Combat series. He now appears in a mod that adds him over Boyfriend, with some fan made animations.

In the Madness Combat Series, Hank first appears as a blank character or more commonly known as a Grunt. Throughout the series, Hank goes on a genocide murdering multiple Grunts in order to complete a task. However though usually at the end of every episode Hank ends up becoming damaged or killed causing himself to become bandaged, until we see his most popular design within Madness Combat 7: Consternation.

Currently, Hank has four different modded versions of himself. The first mod, created by DozenRahyz, has him as a reskin of Boyfriend and uses his appearance from "Madness Combat 7: Consternation", while the second mod, created by MashProTato, has him as a reskin of Tricky and uses his appearances from "Madness Combat 5: Depredation" and "Madness Combat 6: Antipathy" respectively. The one from OrikanTheDiviner uses his EXACT "Madness Combat 6: Antipathy" appearance, along with being a reskin for Pico. ReqNG's Hank is based on his appearance from Madness Accelerant, and is a reskin for Boyfriend.

Appearance
Hanks appearance differs from almost every episode in Madness Combat, however the most featured design in his Mods are his "Depredation" and "Antipathy" designs (from MashProTato's and OrikanTheDiviner's mods). In his Depredation design, he wears bandages covering all of his head except his face, he wears a black bandana over those bandages on the top of his head. he wears red lensed glasses and a black face mask over his "mouth". On his body, he wears more bandages covering almost his whole body with a spot where it isn't covered, revealing a shirt with what is presumably and visibly a face on it. He wears a black trench coat over his body and just like almost every other Madness Combat character, has grey shoes. In his Antipathy design, he looks just like his Depredation design except his mask has been removed and a large, toothy mouth with a metal plate for a lower jaw is visible. he is also notably bloody.

However, in his upcoming week and in DozenRahyz's version, he takes his appearance from Madness Combat 7: Consternation. This is an appearance he takes after getting revived in the beginning of the same episode. Wearing a black mask and bandana that covers his whole face except his eyes, which are protected by red goggles. He wears Black, fingerless gloves and a black trench coat that covers his whole body, with a belt around him. He wears large, greyish brown shoes and has a red microphone. It should also be noted that his bandages are still seen under his bandana and mask.

 * In MashProTato’s title screen Hank’s dance is a reference to the ending to Madness Combat 1 where he celebrates his victory by dancing to DJ Birdie Chicken Dance.
 * His metal plate jaw comes from his defeat in Madness Combat 5: Depredation where his head gets pulled off by Tricky, who replaces his lost lower jaw with a metal plate before reviving him.

 * He was behind at least 48% of the kills in the Madness series.

 * The Higher Powers is/are the one(s) to not only resurrect most of the characters but also give them plot armor according to Krinkles.
 * Up until MADNESS: Project Nexus was released, Hank was the only character with a full name.
 * Hank, after he died in Madness Combat 7, was revived from a machine that made him bigger, stronger, and he now has a large, red arm that can create bolts of lightning.

 * Hank works for an ambiguous and mostly unknown group of entities called "The Employers", who give his assignments and things to do for them, such as freeing Sanford and Deimos from a Nexus Core outpost in the beginning of Madness: Project Nexus (Classic).
 * The Employers are also sometimes referenced by other characters, as seen when MERC soldiers accused Sanford and Deimos for working for the Employers, even though the two haven't even heard of them beforehand.
 * The concept art of the Employers resemble one of Hanks enemies, The Auditor, this implies that the Auditor may be one of them.
 * This was later confirmed by Krinkles in an art stream.
 * This was also confirmed in MADNESS: Project Nexus, in the post credits cutscene.
 * The Employers seem to be godly entities, similarly to the Higher powers. this is further implied when Phobos tried to become one and stated that he was achieving "Godhood" by doing so.
 * The Employers seem very similar to another similar group with the same name from the Half-Life series.
