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:
“Of all the rides since the birth of time,
Told in story or sung in rhyme,—”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
“The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book—a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“So every journey that I make
Leads me, as in the story he was led,
To some new ambush, to some fresh mistake:
So every journey I begin foretells
A weariness of daybreak, spread
With carrion kisses, carrion farewells.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
