Axl

Axl and Slash are characters from the Final Fight series where they are members of the Mad Gear Gang and are two of Rolento's subordinates. The two are common enemies fought in Final Fight, and are pallette swaps of each other.

Appearance
Axl is tall with long blond hair and wears leathers with a red embroidered bandana on his forehead. Axl strongly resembles a muscular version of Axl Rose, of Guns N' Roses fame. Slash is similar but with a darker skin tone, darker hair and no bandana. Instead, Slash's hair is curly.

Fighting style
They are straightforward fighters who deliver basic punch attacks. What sets them apart is the ability to block, which no one in the Mad Gear Gang in the original Final Fight can do - not even bosses. Axl and Slash are known to do almost as much damage as most bosses (except for Sodom, Eddie E., Abigail and Belger).

Trivia
