Benny is a non-playable character that only appears in Twisted Metal: Black. He is the only character associated with Mr. Grimm and plays a fairly large part in his story.
Story[]
Benny was Mr. Grimm's closest friend. During the Vietnam War, Benny was shot, and he and Grimm were captured and trapped in a hole 50 feet deep, with no means of escape. The advisor to the Vietnamese intentionally left them there, just to see Mr. Grimm eat his friend. Despite his hesitance, Mr. Grimm is forced to cannibalize Benny after the latter's death in order to survive. Benny's skull became part of Mr. Grimm's helmet ever since. The events cost Mr. Grimm his sanity, and he was sent to Blackfield Asylum after killing U.S. troops trying to remove Benny's skull from him.
Trivia[]
- Benny and Kelly (from Raven's story) are similar in a few ways:
- They're the best friends of the respective characters in question.
- Both were killed by people on whom the contestant vows revenge.
- Their deaths caused the contestants to be committed to Blackfield Asylum.
- As mentioned before, Mr. Grimm's helmet is actually Benny's skull, yet unrealistically appears larger in cutscenes.
