[edit] Biography
Bandages the Mummy is the third fighter employed by Fortuneteller Baba during the Fortuneteller Baba Saga. Yamcha severely underestimates him during their match, since he was under the impression that Bandages was a slow fighter based on his large stature. However, Bandages surprises him when he demonstrates he is capable of balancing both incredibly fast movements and brute strength. Initially, Yamcha has trouble finding the opportunity to strike the mummy because of his difficult fighting style, but he is eventually able to knock Bandages off the platform. Once again however, Bandages surprises his unsuspecting foe by launching one of his bandages onto the platform and swinging back aboard. Bandages then proceeds to pummel Yamcha into submission.
Bandages the Mummy seems to meet his match while facing his next opponent, Goku. Bandages has trouble finding openings in Goku's defense. Cautiously, he decides to catch Goku off guard, and manages to land three hard blows on the boy, which appear to knock him out. However, Goku simply gets back on his feet and calmly approaches the mummy. Ever angry, Bandages unsuccessfully tries punching Goku, to which Goku retaliates with a punch to Bandages' stomach. Though this punch is the first instance of pain Bandages experiences during the match, it proves enough to knock him out.
After his defeat to Goku, Bandages the Mummy does not appear in the series until the Kid Buu Saga of Dragon Ball Z, where, with Spike the Devil Man, he supplies Goku with energy for Goku's Spirit Bomb.
His face resembles that of Bongo (the big brute from Curse of the Blood Rubies), as well as Recoome, Android 8, and Amond.
