Story
The game stars Wex Major, a young male who gets lost in an unfamiliar galaxy. He eventually meets up with eight other off-beat, strange adventurers, and becomes the leader of the group, of which they dub the "Wild 9". The "Nine" consists of "Nitro", who has serious allergy problems and explodes once coming across said allergens, "Pokkit", who has a special jacket with an infinite amount of pockets full of an infinite number of things, "Pilfer", a lizzard with hundreds of separate personalities, "Volstagg", a strong person with antlers, "Crystal", who is solar powered and living hair, "Boomer", who has powers from wearing the kilt of her Scottish superhero ancestor, "MacSheen", who is adept with tools but is rather harmonal, and "B'Angus", who looks similar to a chihuahua, and lives inside the Rig item, providing advice for Wex.
The game's main antagonist is the evil Karn, a being who is 376 years old and desires to use the "Rig" item as a method of enslaving and controlling the inhabitants of the universe. Karn kidnaps the rest of the "Wild 9" crew, leaving it up to Wex to rescue them and ultimately defeat Karn.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“From the beginning, the placement of [Clarence] Thomas on the high court was seen as a political end justifying almost any means. The full story of his confirmation raises questions not only about who lied and why, but, more important, about what happens when politics becomes total war and the truth—and those who tell it—are merely unfortunate sacrifices on the way to winning.”
—Jane Mayer, U.S. journalist, and Jill Abramson b. 1954, U.S. journalist. Strange Justice, p. 8, Houghton Mifflin (1994)
“For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
