Biography[]

Books[]

Moe Wolf was born to Vinnie Wolf, a mechanic and criminal, and an unknown mother. During his childhood, his father was often rude and dismissive of Moe. He saved young Snake from bullies at the beginning of high school and soon taught Snake how to discourage bullies himself by threatening them. Soon, Wolf begins to involve Snake in his illegal and reckless activities, from burglary to car theft. At one point, Wolf even introduced Snake to his father, who offered Snake a job. One day, the two discover how much fun it is to be bad when Wolf thrillingly crashes his car around police cars. Eventually, Wolf's father became a more powerful crime leader and he and Snake met Shark and Piranha. Vinnie died of a heart attack during Moe's teenage years and soon after took over his father's business with Snake as his deputy.

Wolf first appears by addressing the audience and referring to how they would fear him because he is a 'big, scary monster'. He then introduces the rest of his gang, who also have extremely bad criminal records. He sits them all down and tells them that he has opened a 'Good Guys Club' for them to do good deeds and prove to the world that they are not scary monsters, despite the others' objections. They first start by rescuing a cat from a tree, but end up scaring it and breaking a couple of dogs out of a dog pound, attracting negative news attention. In book 2, they break into a chicken farm to rescue some chickens, which attracts even more negative attention from a guinea pig named Dr Marmalade, who vows revenge on them.

In the third book, Marmalade lures the gang into the woods and captures them. But then a ninja shows up and defeats the guards, revealing herself to be Agent Fox from the International League of Heroes. Wolf falls in love with her, much to Snake's disdain, and they all flee Marmalade's lair. However, Marmalade unleashes a zombie kitten apocalypse on the world. Fox and the Good Guys find a cure with Grandma Gumbo's help, but realize that the source of the apocalypse is on the moon and must be shut down. So the gang sneaks a spaceship to the moon, while Fox helps fight the Zites.

In space, Wolf and Snake argue about Wolf's feelings for Fox, and Wolf decides to go down to the compartment for the space suit. Then a laser beam fires at the spaceship and Snake cuts the damaged part down to save the others, leaving Wolf behind. Rocket is pulled by a tow beam and Marmalade captures them. Meanwhile, Wolf is stuck outside and his spacesuit is starting to run out of air. But Pirahna appears inside the suit and keeps farting because she eats a lot of burritos on the rocket. Wolf despairs, but comes up with a plan to break in and defeat Marmalade with him. Marmalade passes out from the fart gas Wolf releases from his spacesuit, and Wolf turns off the laser beam causing the zitten apocalypse. But as the gang celebrates, Marmalade reveals himself to be an alien.

In the next book, Wolf and the crew are captured as the alien explains everything. They use an escape pod to get back to Earth, but end up 65 million years in the past surrounded by velociraptors. Wolf, Shark and Snake distract the dinosaurs while Legs and Pirahna repair the portal.
