Bean the Dynamite

Bean the Dynamite may be the goofiest Sonic villain of them all. He hardly takes anything seriously and says stuff that doesn't make sense half the time. He also has a thing for "shinies". He's partners with Bark the Polar Bear, who's almost his exact opposite. Although he may be crazy, he's still dangerous...somewhat.

Past
Like others, Bean's past is almost completely unknown. However, he has been hinted to have been a member of the Battlebird Armada, as well as Nic the Weasel's gang, which also included Bark the Polar Bear and Fiona Fox. Although he many no longer work with Nic and Fiona, he's still partners with Bark. (StH: #160, #173)

First Battle With Freedom Fighters
Bean and Bark's first encounter with Sonic the Hedgehog was when Dr. Eggman hired them to attack Sonic on his birthday. The two criminals had apparently met up with Evil Sonic sometime earlier and the meeting was apparently...not so good for Bean and Bark. So the two, thinking Sonic was the one who insulted them, accepted the job and attacked the recently rebuilt Freedom HQ. However, Fiona used Bean's weakness of shiny things and threw a set of keys out a window which Bean jumped after and was soon after knocked unconscious by Shadow the Hedgehog. Bean was brought back to Freedom HQ by the black hedgehog, but he managed to sneak into the Brain Trust's room and contact Eggman about how he and Bark failed. The doctor got angry and fired Bean, although the green duck didn't seem too distressed about it. When Eggman's newest creation, Octobot, attacked Freedom HQ, Bean and Bark used this opprotunity to escape, although Fiona tried to stop them. (StH: #160, #161)

Later Encounters
Bean and Bark were later hired by Dr. Eggman once more to find out if the rumours of Rouge having the Master Emerald were true. (and in the end, they weren't) Nack the Weasel was also hired to investigate the rumours, although he didn't actually work with the duo. Bean and Bark, now sporting Extreme Gear, ran into Sonic and Antoine and Bean hinted that he was once a member of the Battlebird Armada. The two Freedom Fighters managed to defeat the two criminals, however, and so they were finally sent to Knothole Prison along with Nack, Mammoth Mogul, and Ixis Naugus. (StH: #173)

Not long after, Eggman's Egg Fleet attacked Knothole Village and even captured Bean and his fellow prisoners. But Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Amy Rose rescued all of Eggman's prisoners, including Bean and the other criminals. But when everyone was sent to New Mobotropolis, Bean, Bark, and Nack joined Mammoth Mogul, although Bean most likely doesn't take the alliance seriously. Fortunately, NICOLE teleported all of the criminals to the new city's prison, although Bean actually found the experience enjoyable. Bean's still currently in the prison, though he has since mocked Prince Elias (well...as close to mocking as Bean can get) and watched Sonic's fight with Tails. (StH: #175, #176, #177, #178, #179)

Weapons and Abilities
Bean mostly uses bombs, and it's unknown as to where he gets them or how he has so many. He also has access to Extreme Gear thanks to being a former member of the Battlebird Armada. It is currently unknown if Bean has any abilities whatsoever.
