Super Handel (real name unknown) (スーパー ハンデル, Sūpā Handeru) is a human in Ain't No Hero. He is one of the central antagonists of the story.
Super Handel is also the protagonist of Crushing Blue, the sixth story in the one-shot collection, The Heels of the Unknown.
Overview[]
Appearance[]
Super Handel is a tall, willowy man with a scraggly beard, light skin, and long brown hair. His eyes are blue, and his face is covered in scars. In-universe, Super Handel is of German and British descent. He wears the standard Red Dragon Brotherhood military attire usually, though he has been known to wear more casual clothes (jeans, a dark shirt with some obscure band on it, and a thin leather jacket) more often than the other co-leaders of his organization. His form is sleek and thin, and though his muscles aren't very pronounced, he is easily the strongest member of the Red Dragon Brotherhood.
Personality[]
Super Handel has a vicious, irreverent personality that is often exaggerated when he is on drugs (he is always on drugs). He is extremely brutal to his subordinates, often killing them for no reason. He also kills all three of the other Red Dragon Brotherhood co-leaders, showing that he has ambitions to rule the organization by himself. Super Handel is aloof, cocky, and disruptive. His childish personality often annoys the other Red Dragon leaders and other people he meets with. Being of German heritage, Super Handel can speak the language, although he usually only breaks out his German to curse someone out.
Super Handel often makes bold, disgusting, and outlandish claims about his skills and past. For example, he once claimed to have taken his sister's virginity, but the veracity of such a claim is unknown, for it is often very difficult to tell when Super Handel is joking. He comes up with degrading names for his enemies all the time and enjoys killing people who have wronged him. His revenge-oriented mindset makes him highly volatile and irrational. He does not value human life and will kill anyone and everyone at any moment for any reason he wishes. He is also quite homophobic, as seen in Crushing Blue, when he killed a male prostitute who was posing as a female. Super Handel is also supremely confident in his own abilities, believing no one to be stronger than him. He goes through life in a drug-induced daze of hedonistic passions, which are often bloody and sexually unusual.
History[]
Ain't No Hero[]
Super Handel was in the bar with the rest of the Red Dragons at the start of chapter 2. He eventually agreed with Gangrene that they needed to go to the village to see Junk Eye. Super Handel asserted himself as the main leader of the Red Dragons in this chapter, despite being the same rank as Junk Eye, Gangrene, and Wolf Tooth. He ordered them to deal with a detachment of police before going to see Junk Eye. Super Handel himself baited the Police Chief to him. He killed the man, prompting the police to attack the Red Dragons. Super Handel participated in the battle against the police, killing several of them himself.
Super Handel and most of the Red Dragons then went to see Junk Eye in the village. At the village, Super Handel seemed to forgive Junk Eye for losing the Dragon Ball (again, taking the leadership role, despite being of equal rank to Junk Eye). However, as soon as everyone started to walk off, Super Handel attacked Junk Eye, tripping him. After a brief scuffle, Super Handel then tore out Junk Eye's eyes and finished him off with a Red Comet energy attack. This chapter ended with Super Handel taking command of Junk Eye's detachment of Red Dragons looking for the missing Dragon Ball in the village.
Super Handel was among the group of Red Dragons who pursued Grandpa Gohan in chapter 3. He sat in the backseat of Gangrene's car, playing with his Dragon Balls and smoking crack. He didn't seem interested in personally trying to stop Grandpa Gohan, and after Gohan fired the Kamehameha at the Red Dragons, he survived the attack without a scratch, somehow (in reality, Super Handel's elite combat skills led him to dodge the attack). He became enraged at Gangrene after the Kamehameha left the Brotherhood crippled and with only about half of their numbers remaining. Super Handel blamed Gangrene for letting Gohan get away and left the wounded man in the desert to die alone, taking the rest of the Brotherhood in the few cars they had left to chase after Gohan once again.
Super Handel was first seen in chapter 4 after Wolf Tooth got back the Dragon Ball from Grandpa Gohan. He was on the edge of the Ox-King's village with all of the Red Dragons and some mercenaries. At first, he was juggling four Dragon Balls, but upon hearing Wolf Tooth's news, he decided to smoke some crack and party by attacking the village and finding and killing Gohan. He wanted to save the wish until after they had killed Gohan, something which Wolf Tooth objected to but was unable to overrule his stronger co-leader on.
Super Handel then led his gang into the Ox-King's village. He found Wolf Tooth attacking Gohan and tried to help, but the Ox-King rushed him and hit him so hard, Super Handel went flying into a nearby building.
He was not seen again until Wolf Tooth retreated back to the Red Dragons' camp and saw Super Handel, wounded, tired, and ready to flee, in a helicopter. He was very scared of the Ox-King, and upon hearing that Gohan and that man were about to assault the Red Dragons' base, he urged the pilot to fly off at once. He was convinced to get the helicopter to go back down to pick up Wolf Tooth, but he became very angry when he learned that Wolf Tooth had lost the Dragon Ball he had recently gotten back from Gohan. He grabbed the man's hand, but didn't pull him up into the helicopter, confusing Wolf Tooth. He then reminded Wolf Tooth that the Red Dragons forgive and forget and then let go of Wolf Tooth, letting him drop into the blizzard below, which resulted in his death.
Super Handel tracked Grandpa Gohan and the Four Star Dragon Ball to the cruise ship in chapter 5. At first, he was tricked, as Grandpa Gohan appeared to concede and throw him the ball. As Super Handel went to catch it though, Gohan attacked him, causing Super Handel to accidentally shoot his helicopter with an RPG as he was knocked back. The two then dueled for a while until Super Handel shot Gohan with his pistol and got back the Dragon Ball.
However, Master Roshi and the Ox-King (previously dealing with Super Handel's lackeys) then appeared and defeated the man and got back the Dragon Ball from him. Super Handel was spared, making him angry. He wanted to fight them to the death, so he attacked them in his weakened state, using his Red Comet energy attack on Master Roshi. Roshi, barely able to get off a Kamehameha at the last second for the beam struggle to occur, was about to lose when Gohan reappeared and shot another Kamehameha at Super Handel. The combined energy attacks of Gohan and Roshi knocked Super Handel off of the cruise ship and into the water. If he died from being hit by both attacks remains a mystery.
Crushing Blue[]
At the start of this story, Super Handel washed up on the shore of some ruinous place following the events of Ain't No Hero. Soon, he was attacked by a tribe of creatures who were half-Makyan, half-human. Five of them charged him head on, forcing him to use a Red Comet energy attack to kill the first one, steal his weapon, and then shoot at the remaining half-aliens. He killed two and caused one to retreat.
The last one pursued him, ordering those up on the cliffs to fire. Super Handel fled to an upended storage container half-buried in the sand. He was able to exchange some shots with the half-Makyans, but they were too numerous for him to out-snipe. He used another Red Comet attack (this time putting some actual effort into it) to blow up the whole cliff-face, killing off the remaining hybrids. The last half-Makyan shot him once in the shoulder with a shotgun. Enraged, he beat down the alien, spilling its brains onto the sand. That left only one hybrid who got away, although there were probably more of his kind deeper in the island. Super Handel was unsure of where to go or what to do, as there did not appear to be any towns nearby.
Carrying a dead hybrid Makyan, he eventually made his way into a mountainous pass, where he found an old woman smoking a cigarette from a hole in her neck. He showed her the creature and asked her why it had attacked him. She told him the story of the Makyans and how those space aliens had used to live around these parts. They had been involved in a massive war with some samurai. They had eventually been defeated by a mythical cat after he slew their leader, or so the tales said. The aliens he had fought had been descendants of the Makyans who had interbred with humans. They worshiped some lizard demon of the sky. She told him that the people in the shanty town down the road would be able to tell him more about that.
She offered to sell him "Blue", a type of crystal meth made by a man named Heidecker who was supposedly the best in the business. It cost Ƶ100,000, which Super Handel thought was ridiculous. He asked the old bag if she had any whores he could fuck. A young woman appeared and offered to have sex with him for Ƶ3000. He told her he would pay afterwards. The whore wanted to have sex in front of her mother and Gram Gram, an older black woman who had just appeared and had begun knitting next to the other old woman. Gram Gram was unconcerned with them having sex in front of her, as she said that her mother had watched her have sex on the lawn when she had been a young girl.
As Super Handel and the whore went to have sex, he noticed that she was actually a man, so he shot her in the forehead with his pistol. Gram Gram was disturbed by this and, taking out a pistol from underneath her apron, shot herself in the head. The whore's mother was unconcerned. She asked Super Handel if he was going to pay for the crystal meth, but he shot and killed her before responding. Then, he took the meth and tried some. It made him feel really good and dulled the pain in his shoulder.
He decided to visit the shanty town. In that half-ruined place, he found a bar. Inside, many men were drinking and smoking. He ordered a Blue Hawaiian from the bartender. He noticed a tall, bronze-skinned man with hieroglyphic tattoos sitting next to him. The man's look displeased him, causing Super Handel to try to fight with him. However, the man caught his first punch, snapped his wrist, and then caught his other hand, which was holding a broken shard of glass from his drink, and squeezed it hard enough to make Super Handel drop his weapon.
The Red Dragon was shocked at this man's power. He asked the man how he had become so strong, but the man dismissed him, stating that he was waiting for someone and Super Handel had proved to him that he was not that someone. He told the Red Dragon that the one he was waiting for would be able to defeat him and would cleanse the world of all its filth. Super Handel was enraged all that drivel that guy was spouting. He began warming up a Red Comet attack, but the bronze-skinned man simply picked him up and threw him out of the bar before he could charge up the attack fully.
He went tumbling through the dirt street until he landed nearby Mercenary Tao, who was in that town for unknown reasons. Tao was eating some noodles in a bowl. Super Handel called him a gay slur after noticing the man's ponytail and pink shirt. This surprised Tao, for the Red Dragon's rancor had come out of nowhere. He told Super Handel to back off. He refused to do so, thinking about how much he wanted to do some more meth. Tao fell into a fighting stance and revealed his name, telling Super Handel that he was pleased to kill him.

Trivia[]
- Super Handel is based on the character Super Hans from the Peep Show. His appearance and much of his personality is modeled off of Super Hans.
- Both of the stories Super Handel is featured in end with his fate left unclear. He could have died in either one of them, or neither of them. Indeed, it is not even clear if Ain't No Hero took place before Crushing Blue. However, it is known that a few years after Ain't No Hero, by the time the Red Dragon Brotherhood and the Red Ribbon Army began fighting one another (roughly around Age 741), Super Handel was no longer the leader of his organization. He is confirmed to be dead at that time, though exactly how he died is left open to debate.
