02Appearance

McQueen is a man of average to above-average height and medium build. He has the letter "M" shaved on the right side of his forehead. He has a unique feature that his pupils are vertical lines almost akin to the eyes of a cat.↗↗

He wears a short-sleeved jean shirt with a tag saying "EDWN" ("EOWN" in the anime) on the front of the collar, and fuzzy pants with a spotted crotch-piece. McQueen also sports numerous belts around his waist and legs, one of which he uses in an attempt to hang himself.↗

03Personality

McQueen is an exceptionally depressed and suicidal inmate at Green Dolphin Street Prison.↗

Thunder McQueen's greatest personality trait is his crippling depression and suicidal tendencies. For starters, he is easily upset and cries, with any conversation veering towards him reminding himself of a bad memory and claiming how pathetic he is. For instance, he can't remember where he's stashed his money (because Ermes unwittingly stole some of his memories) and berates himself for it. On another occasion, he reminds himself of the time a girl said to him that she wouldn't mind being his friend, but yet moved away, saying again how pathetic he is.↗↗↗↗↗

McQueen seems to have some fixation on his relationship with women, although it could be influenced by his interactions with Ermes. He often laments the fact that he has no woman who cares about him like with the girl who almost became his friend, is ecstatic when Ermes Costello asks him if he's OK because he interprets it as her caring about him, and says that he's not used to being followed by a woman, specifically. As such, McQueen develops a distorted, simple, and one-sided relationship with Ermes Costello during their confrontation, loving how she "cares" about him and appreciating her presence even if she shouts at him, because it seems like she cares about him.↗↗↗

04Abilities

McQueen's Stand is Highway to Hell, given to him via a Stand DISC. It will share all the damage that he receives to a designated victim.↗

05Story

SPOILERS

Background

At one point, a girl promised McQueen that she would be his friend but then moved away, depressing him.↗

McQueen was sentenced to 8 years in prison for having shot a woman, which he claims was a freak accident when he picked up a gun to clean it and it went off at the same moment the woman fell past his window while attempting suicide by jumping from the 11th floor of his building.↗

McQueen would occasionally steal money from the sick inmates in the infirmary, racketing up five thousand dollars to which he would hide inside the handle of his mop. At one point, however, he encountered Whitesnake, who expressed appreciation for his uniquely twisted mind and suggested him to cooperate as his "partner".↗

Ermes's Stickers

McQueen first appears as a janitor reaching up Ermes Costello 's skirt to steal her money. Ermes later uses her power to make a trap and duplicates a mop to trap the janitor's face in between the mops when he passes by, knocking him out. Ermes notices that DISCS are sticking out of his head and instinctively takes one of them. McQueen learns that Ermes has inquired about him and confronts her in the toilets.↗

Ermes angrily accuses him of being a creep for having DISCs sticking out of his face and McQueen bursts into tears as he cannot remember what he's recently done and where he used to hide his money, blaming himself. Ermes asks him if he's okay and McQueen is moved to have a woman caring about his well-being. Figuring that he'll never meet a woman who'd truly care for him, McQueen decides to end his life and hangs himself on a pipe with his belt.↗

Ermes manages to knock McQueen out of the faucet. Again, McQueen expresses depression because there is no way he could repay her and even talk to her again. Furious, Ermes tells McQueen not to approach her again and threatens to kill him but McQueen agrees to the idea. Freaked out, Ermes flees. Having seen her pull out a DISC from the toilets, McQueen instinctively feels that it belongs to him. He feels like dying again.↗

McQueen tries to electrocute himself but fails because he doesn't have saline water to conduct electricity through his body. He thus heads to the medical room to take saline water. Ermes finds him in the medical room tied up with a denuded power cable and ready to electrocute himself to death. He douses himself in saline water, and a panicking Ermes tries to dissuade him from killing himself.↗↗
