~ Wez |
Wez is the secondary antagonist of the 1981 film Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. He is Lord Humungus's lieutenant, and the second-in-command of the marauders.
He was played by Vernon Wells, who also portrayed Ransik in Power Rangers Time Force, Jeremiah Stone in Miner's Massacre, Mr. Igoe in Innerspace, and Bennett in Commando.
Biography[]
Wez is first seen during the opening chase of the film where he and several other marauders pursue Max. Max manages to avoid their attacks, resulting in Wez being hit by friendly fire. However, he is unfazed as he merely pulls the arrow out of his arm, holsters it, and rides away. Wez is later seen harassing the population of an oil Refinery, attempting to enter. After his companion Golden Youth is killed by the feral kid, Wez becomes even more enraged and determined to capture the refinery to the point where Humungus has to restrain him with chains. He is turned loose during the marauder's pursuit of the tanker truck, driven by Max and eventually climbs onto the hood of the truck only to be killed when Humungus rams the tanker head-on.
Personality[]
Wez was a mohawked, leather-clad biker who served as Lord Humungus' lieutenant in the gang, leading groups of the warrior-bikers in several battles. He was considered the most brutal of Humungus' followers; a psychotic brute who was cruel and the main henchman of Humungus, reactive and unrelenting in his pursuit of prey. However, he had a soft spot for his companion, the Golden Youth and was distraught by his death.
