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:
“All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them.”
—Isak Dinesen (1885–1962)
“The old world stands serenely behind the new, as one mountain yonder towers behind another, more dim and distant. Rome imposes her story still upon this late generation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Wit is often concise and sparkling, compressed into an original pun or metaphor. Brevity is said to be its soul. Humor can be more leisurely, diffused through a whole story or picture which undertakes to show some of the comic aspects of life. What it devalues may be human nature in general, by showing that certain faults or weaknesses are universal. As such it is kinder and more philosophic than wit which focuses on a certain individual, class, or social group.”
—Thomas Munro (1897–1974)
