History:

Johnny Ray-Gun(last name unknown) was born in Oklahoma, where he learned to ride and shoot. He supported himself in Oklahoma as a cowboy, corralling cattle. One day in 1945, he broke his arm while riding, and was reassigned to the chuck wagon while the other men rode out. That night, the cattle were attacked by a group of alien 'Day-Mole-Mites'(a group connected to Slyxx), who ate most of the cattle and proceeded to eat the cowboys. Johnny knocked out one of the aliens with a pan full of food, stole his guns and shot all the aliens. After burying the dead cowboys, he took the chuck wagon to the Kiowa County sheriff's department and explained story. Having convinced the sheriffs that he was telling the truth, he decided to keep the guns and use them to fight evil, on the grounds that one never knows "when those {aliens} will show up again all hungry and what-not."

Johnny Ray-Gun is currently a member of the Paladins (and secretly a subject of the NOTB program).
