The Baltimore Oriole
The Baltimore Oriole's vital statistics:
Real Name: Rob Weinberg
Musical Instrument:
Most Often Seen: Bailing BatBrian out of a jam
Rob Weinberg, leader of the Rob Weinberg 7, is a down-on-his-luck musician who got stuck playing the part of a late night talk show band. He didn't mind the fact that the show only aired at 5:30 AM, and then only in Venezuela, but he did mind having to put up with the show's wacky host, Brian 'O Brian. Most viewers assume that Brian 'O Brian is just putting on a stupid act to try and seem funny. Rob realized right off that it was no act.
So poor old Rob had to put up with his nonsense day in and day out. He was about to go back to playing on a street corner for nickels when Brian told him he'd double his salary if he'd help him fight crime. For $2.50, Rob Weinberg sold his dignity and became the Baltimore Oriole.
Unfortunately, now he's stuck. His contract says he has to keep fighting crime as the Baltimore Oriole until Brian tells him he can stop. Which isn't likely since BatBrian is all caught up in the thrill of being a superhero. But this is all good news to us since the Baltimore Oriole is the real hero of Onaway, Michigan.
Rob is everything Brian is not-he's strong, he's smart, and most importantly, he's sane. When Brian messes up it's Rob to the rescue. He hates it, of course, but a contract is a contract.
The Baltimore Oriole's trademark weapon is his Batarang. Which should not be confused with that other bat-guy's trademark weapon. No wussy stuff here-this batarang is a real Louisville Slugger. That'll teach those criminals not to mess around.
So far, being the Baltimore Oriole has been one long headache. Being forced to say corny dialogue during every fight drives him nuts. Worse, he has to keep saving his crazy boss, who he just about wants to kill in the first place. And he seems to be the only person who realizes that BatBrian is completely insane. But at least as long as he's out there, protecting us from whacko good guys and bad guys alike.
