The Bomb Maniac is the secondary antagonist of the 1988 NES game Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
He is a mysterious man who pops up everywhere to create explosions and due to the evil spirit of Letule, is trying to kill Dr. Jekyll.
Biography[]
Throughout the game, he keeps planting bombs every time he comes close to Dr. Jekyll, even causing the citizens to attack Dr. Jekyll. When Dr. Jekyll gets to the street, the Bomb Maniac becomes more relentless by infinitely responding. When Dr. Jekyll turns into Mr. Hyde and defeats Letule, the Bomb Maniac, alongside all of the other obstacles, disappears, ending his threat once and for all.
Trivia[]
- It is unknown what the Bomb Maniac was like before Letule started influencing him, and to what extent Letule is influencing him. It is possible the Bomb Maniac was a normal person beforehand or was already a terrorist who was just controlled to target Dr. Jekyll specifically.
- Out of the normal enemies in the Jekyll sections, he seems to be one of only two, alongside Billy Pones, who is deliberately targeting Dr. Jekyll. The others are either doing normal jobs, and Jekyll gets caught in the crossfire; Elena McCowen is simply practising her singing; the other townsfolk only harm Jekyll to get away from the Bomb Maniac. Unlike Billy Pones, though, it is unknown why the Bomb Maniac is targeting Jekyll outside of Letute's influence.
