uSMOKEY AND THE BANDITv had been a major feature of Croon's childhood, and its lead character Bo certainly helped steer him towards the outlaw lifestyle. Moreover, Burt Reynolds was one of his favourite actors. Therefore it was natural that Croon made the Bandit his new persona when he accepted the Thr0wback mission. With country'n'western so big in Britain, it wasn't hard finding spurs and a decent cowboy hat at Heathrow Airport. When he arrived in Los Angeles, he bought himself a black Trans-Am.
Not that he was going to use it much. Thomas Day (aka Thr0wback) had been in jail now for three months, and the mutant still had 15 months left to serve. Thr0wback had been busted one night in the safe of an LA bank, and then complicated his plea options by reducing six security guards to pulp with his bare hands. Thanks to that, he had been sentenced to arguably the most escape-proof jail in America: the Redemption prison (Alcatraz was for the tourists). And if Croon was going to get him out, he had to get in first.
That's where the PortHole came in handy!
