Acceleracers HCs! What Element Would They Bend?
I just finished the Avatar Live Action and now I have brain rot about these movies AND the original ATLA show.
———
Teku
(Nolo Pasaro, Vert Wheeler, Shirako Takamoto, Kurt Wylde, Karma Eiss)
Metal Maniacs
(Taro Kitano, Tork Maddox, Monkey McClurg, Porkchop RIggs, Markie Wylde)
+Bonus Round
(Brian Kadeem & Banjee Castillo)
———
Teku
Nolo Pasaro - Okay, when I rewatched the Acelleracers recently, I literally had to look up the voice actor for Nolo because I genuinely thought it was Dante Basco (Zuko) for a second. They sound so similar. Plus Nolo’s firey personality and his pride really make me think he’d be a Firebender. “Tork! I challenge you to an Agni Kai!”
Vert Wheeler - I feel like I don't need to say it, but I’m gonna… Vert’s a Waterbender! Water is the element of change and Vert is all about adapting to the different tracks. He’s also a surfer- so… yeah I feel like this one is pretty self-explanatory. I swear this dude would become one with the ocean if it was possible. I can’t get the image of him making a surf board out of ice and just using the full moon to make the biggest waves possible for himself.
Shirako Takamoto - Shirako is so chill all the time I can’t help but see him as an Airbender. I also feel like he’d use his bending in the most creative and chaotic ways possible like manipulating the air around his speakers to make them sound louder or clearer. Not to mention that he’d use his bending to mildly annoy the Metal Maniacs. Think blowing their tools just slightly out of reach or speeding by them on an air scooter.
Kurt Wylde - Kurt has such strong Firebending vibes that it literally inspired this post lol. He just seems like such a hothead. He’s got the sass and air of superiority that comes with most Firebenders. It doesn't help that he and Mark have a sibling rivalry that reminds me of Zuko & Azula. Kurt also seems like he’d be able to manipulate lightning, and I’m not just saying that cause he looks like Mako.
Karma Eiss - Karma also gives off Firebending vibes. Her drive for perfection fits the precision a Firebender needs in order to safely manipulate their element. One wrong move and it could mean trouble. Karma would have her element fully mastered. She would have the wisdom to take skills from other bending disciplines and apply them to her own style. She can bend both fire and lightning, and I feel like she’d be skilled enough to turn up the heat for those blue flames!

Metal Maniacs
Taro Kitano - Oh, look at that. Another Firebender. I mean come on! He’s the leader of the Scorchers in World Race. His car has a classic flame paint job!! The Fire Nation was literally modeled after Imperial Japan!! There are so many connections I could make here, but what really convinces me is his overall attitude. He follows a strict honor code, and just like Karma, he’s got the control a Firebender needs to be successful. I feel like he’d make a great Lavabender too.
Tork Maddox - I’m getting strong Earthbender vibes from Tork. He’s built as sturdy as a rock, and his personality is just as solid. He stands his ground a lot in the Acceleracer movies, and although he’s got some fire behind his eyes, it’s usually only in response to being antagonized by one of the other racers. He’s the very foundation of the Metal Maniacs and like any good Earthbender, he seems to listen before he reacts. I also love the idea of Tork being a Metalbender.
Monkey McClurg - Monkey strikes me as a Nonbender, but if I had to give him an element, he would be an Earthbender. Mainly because I feel like he could make a great Metalbender. That being said, at my core, I really think he would end up not being able to bend, but he would make up for it by being an extremely creative inventor. He just reminds me of Sokka so much with how resourceful he is.
Porkchop Riggs - Porkchop is a full on Earthbender, baby! In fact, If Monkey ended up not being able to bend, he’d be who Monkey goes to for all of his Metalbending needs. He is one with the dirt. Especially since he's terrified of water.
Markie Wylde - Markie is 100% a Firebender as well. Like his older brother, he’s hot-headed and cocky. He gives off those Book One Zuko vibes in most of the Acceleracer movies. I don’t think he’d have the precision to be able to produce blue flames, but I do feel like he could pick up combustion. Could you imagine Markie with combustion tattoos up his arm instead of the stuff he's got now?
———
Bonus Round
Brian Kadeem - Okay, I wanted to put Kadeem in the Earthbender category due to Sandbending, but Kadeem’s personality SCREAMS Airbender. He’s got too many pacifistic tendencies and is just so damn loveable I can’t not associate him with Aang. Not only that but due to the scenes in World Race where his mentor comes to him in visions, I feel like he would be able to connect to the Spirit World quite easily.
Banjee Castillo - Surprisingly, I feel like Banjee would be an Airbender too. If not an Airbender, then probably an Earthbender. He’s just so quick-witted and has such a lighthearted view on life that I can't help but stick him with the Airbenders. Also, the way he teases people (like when he waves at Kurt as he passes him in World Race) reminds me of when Aang is being mischievous.

A dude I know died yesterday. He spent the last few days comatose in a hospital after collapsing at the Wacken Metal Battle Philippines gig last Friday. Stroke, according to available information. He was in his early 40s.
We last communicated via FB on March 17 when he commented on the photo I posted of my first ever Metal Maniacs magazine. Before that we’d occasionally exchange views on comics, music and TV series. Like me, he was also a flag-carrying geek with a toy collection. Needless to say, news of his death hit me like a gut punch.
RIP, brother. At least you died doing what you love -- moshing.

Acceleracers HC’s! Horror Movie Reactions! Metal Maniac Edition!
Metal Maniacs
(Taro Kitano, Tork Maddox, Monkey McClurg, Porkchop Riggs & Markie Wylde)
+Bonus Round
(Doctor Tezla & Lani Tam)
Metal Maniacs
Taro Kitano - Taro is a HUGE horror movie buff. He’s a mainly a big fan of the classics! Halloween, The Thing, The Exorcist- stuff like that! He’s 100% the one to suggest a horror movie when the group gets together for movie nights. He has also definitely showed up to horror conventions in costume. His favorite cosplays have gotta be Ghostface from Scream & Micheal Myers from Halloween cause they both have masks. Definitely has horror movie memorabilia all around his house.
Tork Maddox - Tork doesn’t mind horror movies. He doesn’t hate them or anything, but he’d honestly rather watch something with more substance. Usually when he gets dragged into watching one with the gang it’s something like Saw or Final Destination and he’s not really a big fan of how torture porny they are. He likes stuff with a good plot so movies like Nope and Midsommar are probably his favorites. That being said, when he does watch horror flicks, he gets scared but refuses to show it. If you’re watching him real hard you can sometimes catch him flinch or tighten his grip on the blankets, but if thinks get to be too much for him, he’ll call the movie stupid and make an excuse to leave.
Monkey McClurg - Monkey HATES horror movies! He’s terrified of everything. The only reason he watches them is because usually there’s attractive actors/actresses that he can distract himself with. Other than that, he will spend 95% of the movie hiding under the blankets or yelling at the screen about how the characters would have survived if they had just done something differently! He is also the prime candidate to scare if anyone’s trying to get a laugh. Wylde’s usually pretty mean about it until someone tells him to back off.
Porkchop Riggs - Is totally down to watch a horror movie UNLESS there is water in it. That scene from Friday the 13th where someone gets snatched into the water literally had him traumatized for like a week after he saw it for the first time. Now, someone has to vet every horror movie he watches before he ends up scaring himself to death again. Any other horror movie, he usually enjoys. Especially slasher flicks. He’s also a big fan of the Evil Dead series- he just thinks Ash is a badass. I mean… who doesn’t. Dude has a chainsaw hand!!
Markie Wylde - Mark tells everyone he loves horror movies but he rarely ever watches them alone. Usually he’s too busy fucking with people to get scared but when he actually pays attention he starts shitting bricks. Seriously- he’s like Tork where he tries not to seem scared but unlike Tork, he sucks at it. He’ll call the movie lame only to be screaming and pulling his blanket up to his chin like 5 minutes later. He doesn’t mind horror comedy though! He’s a big fan of Ready or Not! But if somebody puts on IT or The Conjuring he’s terrified. Clowns and ghosts man!
Bonus Round!
Doctor Tezla - You think this guy has time for horror movies?! Hell no! Although, he has caught a few in passing, and by passing I mean he does the dad thing where he’ll walk by someone watching a horror movie and then proceed to stand silently in the corner and watch the whole thing. You can try offering him a seat but he will claim he’s just passing through. It’s a total lie though. The last one he really sat down and watched was The Terminator - which is more action - but it only amplified his fear of the drones.
Lani Tam - She has definitely seen her fair share of horror movies thanks to Taro, but the ones that really resonated with her were the ones that followed the classic “Final Girl” trope. Ready or Not? Loved it. The Descent? Claustrophobic but amazing! Midsommar? Fabulous. Alien? Badass and one of her favorites! When she and Taro were still dating, they watched the original Scream and The Shining at least once a month. She loves them.
