Big Band ( aka Ben
Birdland ) is a character from a game called
Skullgirls. It's a DLC character with a quite big complexity and a interresting story.
Origin:
Ben Birdland was just a cop in new meridian trying to serve justice and make the city safe. The sad truth was that all the cops were corrupted and were working for
Medici Mafia, the mafia that controls the whole city and are also some jerks. Only him and his trustful friend, Irwin, were the good cops here. Once he met some
medici goons and started fighting them, then the cops came but, instead of helping Ben they just
fleed the medici goons and beat Ben, leaving him heavily wounded and near his death. The good thing was that his friend, Irwin found him and called a doc to help him. Ben wakes up in a lab where he meets Dr. Avian. Dr. Avian is a scientist working for Lab 8, the lab where Ben has been brough to, and told Ben that he managed to set him in an iron lung. And so he became
