Bean the Dynamite (Archie)

Past
When younger, Bean worked in a mercenary team with Fiona, and Bark. At one point, the three entered an illegal fighting tournament, only to be single-handedly defeated by Rouge.

Out Of The Blue
Bean first appears with Bark, crashing Sonics birthday party, at a newly rebuilt Freedom HQ. Bean breaks in, singing a childishly evil birthday song to Sonic, and then begins throwing his bombs at Sonic, Amy, and Antoine. Continuing this, Bean does so to Sally, as well, after which, Sonic finally stops him, and pins Bean up against a wall, telling him about Anti-Sonic. Before Sonic can finish, Bean starts pecking at his head. Fiona uses some "Shiny keys" to distract Bean. She throws them out of the window, after which Bean jumps after them. Outside of Freedom HQ, Bean plays with the keys as though they were a female that he was dating at the time. Bean then notices a shadow behind him, to which Bean turns, and asks the figure if he wants to help beat up Sonic, adding that it's good for his "glutes." A few minutes later, after the Freedom Fighters have defeated Bark, Shadow comes in, holding an unconscious Bean. After being put down, everyone (Excluding Bean, and Bark.) begin talking. Bean wakes up, taking this as an opportunity to sneak into the Brain Trust's Room, and contact Robotnik. While tossing a bomb, Bean tells Robotnik that he, and Bark were defeated. Robotnik begins complaining to Bean, only to be interupted by Fiona, Sonic, and Rotor. Fiona scolds Bean, and tells him to sit with Bark.

Round Up!
While riding Extreme Gear with Bark, on Angel Island, to watch the Master Emerald, they run into Sonic, and Antoine. Bean, and Bark start circling the heroes, waiting for the right moment to attack. During this, Bean tells Sonic that they got the Extreme Gear by leaving the "armada" at the right time. Before he finishes, Sonic jumps on Bean, and starts giving him a noogie. Bean reacts by freaking out, and yelling at Sonic not to infect him with "noogie germs". After losing control of the Extreme Gear, and Bean calling Sonic several names, Sonic is able to defeat Bean. After another battle, Sonic, Antoine, Bunnie, Sally, and Rouge pile all the vilians, including Bean onto the Marvelous Queen, and Rouge takes them away.

Eggman Empire
After Sonic, Amy, Tails, and Knuckles rescue everyone from the Egg Grapes, Bean is seen among the crowd, checking on Charmy, while Dr. Quack tends to him. Bean is later seen again in a crowd, escaping Eggman's base. Bean, Bark, Nack, Ixis, and Mogul all appear together, in New Mobotropolis, after NICOLE has everyone sent there, from Eggman's base. Mogul begins threatening to defeat everyone, while they're weak, though, Nicole begins transporting them to an un-escapable jail she had built. Bean is the only one to notice this process, though he doesn't realise what it is, only getting happy about a "shiny". Once transported, Bean responds by calling it "AWESOME"

House Of Cards
While Elias goes to the New Mobotropolis prision cells, to talk to Amadeus, Bean gets hyper, and excited. Bean directs the attention of the other in-mates to Elias. Bean then starts yelling that he wants to wear Elias' crown. Hours later, while Tails, and Rosemary break Amadeus out, Bean accidently alerts them that Sonic is there, by trying to turn Sonic's arrival into a joke about cheese.

Mogul Rising
While Sonic talks with Mogul in the cells, Bean appears, making faces at Sonic. The next night, Sonic, and Ash return to confront Mogul about the new Fearsome Foursome, Bean is seen sleeping in his cell. Later that night, when Mogul recieves the Chaos Emerald, he breaks everyone out of the cells, including Bean. Being throw back, by Mogul freeing the criminals, Bean picks up Ash's glasses, and stares down at the floor, sticking his tongue out, much to Ash's disgust. Ash angrily grabs his glasses back, only before Mogul teleports the villians away, with his powers. Before leaving, Bean starts crying saying how much he'll miss Sonic, and that he'll write to him everyday.

Mister Popular
Bean, Bark, Nack, and Slueth show up at a meeting with Mogul, to discuss their jobs. During the meeting, Bean is seen playing with a shiny silver fork, taken from his sandwich. He seems to ignore what everyone else is saying, as he mumbles "shiiiiiiny" to himself, while playing with the fork. Several hours later, while Sonic, and Sally are out, Bean pops out with Bark, bombarding the heroes with an endless amount of bombs. Holding Bark's scarf, Bean starts singing "We're baaaaaack!" Sonic starts fighting the mercenaries, sending Bean flying, much to his joy. Sonic becomes distracted by Bark, while Bean gets ready to launch more bombs, warning Bark to get out of the way. Before being able to throw the bomb, Sally tries taking it from him. Bean yells at her, saying that it's his bomb. Sally tricks Bean into wanting to keep the already lit "shiny" bomb. Sally then throws the bomb in another direction, as Bean chases it, acting like a dog, shouting "Yap! Arf! Polar Bear's name!" Bean catches up to the bomb, only to have it blow up in his face. Later, Bean, and Bark watch as Sonic battles the Destructix. Sally interupts this, and offers them more money than Mogul is, and less time in jail to help bail out Sonic. Bean tallies it up, and asks for cupcakes in the deal as well. Sally agrees to this. Bean then walks over to Bark, and discusses the profit with hm. After a moment, they agree to help. While Lynx, and Frog hold Sonic down, for Simian to attack, Bean flies in, throwing bombs at everyone, except Sonic, Sally, and Bark. Bean rushes over to Hawk, hitting him with bombs, whilst insulting him for leaving the "armada", to which Hawk replies "You're one to talk!" Bean is quickly distracted when Nack shoots Sonic with a type of laser tranquilizer gun. The Destructix take Sonic, as Sally pleads for them to stop. During this mishap, Bean, and Bark betray Sally. Sally catches them, and tries to talk them into helping her get Sonic back, but Bean admits to messing up, and says that he might as well get paid for Mogul's job.

Beating The House
Bean shows up playing with metal, while waiting with the Destructix, for Mogul, to pay them all. Bean soon draws his attention to the currentl captured Sonic. Bean begins asking Sonic childish questions such as, why is he so fast, why is he blue, and "Are you, and the princess going to marry and have mutant hedge-squirrel babies?", much to Sonic's utter disgust. A few moments later, when Sonic is set free by Geoffrey, Amy Rose (Archie), Rouge the Bat (Archie), and Sally, Sonic grabs Bean, and slams him against the wall.
