There is a psychotic midget with a deep love for plates called umm...'Plates', there is the obligatory sweet old lady who is actually a total psycho nut-job and then there is 'Brain' a bloke with a ridiculously mal-proportioned brain.
The Surgeon General is the muscle here though and the only one that has benefitted from more than about ten minutes in production design. He certainly looks the part in his all black leather and trenchcoat combination. Of course his most distinctive feature is the bear trap he has instead of jaws and the mummified look his skin has.
That’s not a knife…
The Surgeon General, like his inspiration characte, is a singularly violent individual and as such is just as keen using lots of different weapons. He uses a big wicked knife thing, a grappling hook and his metal jaws all with equal aplomb. He's also not averse to getting stuck into abit of good old fashioned drowning. Versatility see? It's important when you're a trap-jawed mutant living in a back-water American wasteland.
