Cousin Eddy appears in Twisted Metal: Head-On. He serves as a mid-level boss, but is unlocked when the player beats him. His vehicle is a built-from-scratch RV.
Bio[]
Cousin Eddy was born in a backwater Ozarks pigsty called Sour Creek. You won't find on any map. A textbook case of what can go wrong when cousins marry cousins, Eddy was the strongest man in town by the time he was ten, though his malformed, inbred brain had stopped developing at age three. Eddy only had two loves: "smashin' things" and collecting "shiny things". By age thirteen, he owned all of the shiny things in Sour Creek. After he'd finished his smashing the place was kind of lonely, so he wandered off in search of more shiny things and more things to smash. When he stumbled across the Twisted Metal competition he thought he'd found paradise. Eddy had gathered a band of drifters - "cousins" he called them - who he coerced by brute strength into helping him transform a trashed RV into a nightmare killing machine. Now he could blast his way into Twisted Metal. So much to smash. So many shiny things...
