Jimmy Bones
Back in 1979, Jimmy Bones (Snoop Dogg) was a powerful leader and friend to the citizens of his inner-city community, but the money and influence he possessed led to his murder. Double-crossed by some of his own, Bones' death would be mourned for years by his lady, Pearl (Pam Grier), who later give birth to a daughter... Bones' daughter.
Years later, Bones' old digs have been abandoned, but a group of suburban youths have coincidentally taken an interest in the place, looking to turn it into a dance club. No sooner do they start fixing things when the spirit of Jimmy Bones returns to life to start breaking them. Bent on revenge against those who betrayed him, Bones won't rest until the rights have been wronged.
Which may be the one reason Jimmy Bones is one of those few tragic Mofos here on the board. Bones was a good man until the jealousy of others got him killed, and now he's looking to return the favor. Some of these innocent kids - including that daughter of his - might get in the way, but the motivation behind Bones' ressurection seems downright righteous. A complex Mofo, indeed.
INTELLIGENCE - 5: Jimmy Bones probably had some business savvy, but has an average villain intellect.
POWER - 7: Shows decent supernatural power at times, even though the reasons he has them are kinda fuzzy.
VILENESS - 7: Those who deserve the revenge get it good. Anyone else in the way should watch out.
SWAY - 5: Formerly a smooth operator, Jimmy Bones is stuck with hammy catch-phrases in his afterlife.
PURITY - 7: His quest for revenge is strong, but he loses focus when his love for Pearl emerges.
PHYSICAL - 8: Black leather, a sense of style, and sticks to the shadows. Right on, brutha.
TOTAL: 39
