Grim Junior (a.k.a Junior) is the main protagonist of The Grim Tales From Down Below. He is the son of Grim and Mandy and the older brother of Minnie. His father is not Grim technically. Grim had someone else (someone who he seems to hold disdain for, as he got angry when Nergal mentioned him) impregnate Mandy and made her abort Grim Jr. All kids that were aborted are technically his children (according to Nergal). This is revealed on the page called Family Business.
Original Bio
Son of the Grim Reaper and destined to become the next ruler of the underworld. Grim Jr. is typically fun-loving, adventurous, headstrong and a bit of a mama’s boy. Although he can be fearful sometimes, Jr. dreams only of having fun and living a normal life, which is rather hard to come by if you have Death for a dad and evil reincarnated for a mom.
Jr. doesn’t really care much about his heritage and his future throne, in fact he hopes that one day he’ll get to reside in the mortal realm and live a life among the humans, just as his father did. Ever since he discovered his father’s secret diary, Grim Jr. became very interested in the human world, although he has yet to step foot in it. Born into a life of royalty, Jr. hardly has any friends and his sister Minnie is the only one close to him.
Grim Jr. would often wonder if he will ever have the chance to live like any normal 10-year old boy as well as have friends by his side. It had to start somewhere, thus he began spending most of his time playing basketball, baseball, skateboarding and trading cards. But at the same time, he begins neglecting his studies.
Grim Tales
History
While having a relationship with Grim, Mandy and Grim probably wanted a child, but they knew Grim couldn't make children, seeing he is a bag of bones. So Mandy found someone who would help her beget her child. When Mandy was heavily pregnant she did an abortion. Grim then could reap the unborn child and make it his own, which resulted in the birth of Grim Jr. At this time it is still unknown who Grim Jr's biological father is.
From Down Below
He first was seen while he was with Minimandy down below. Violator attacked them, and Spawn saved them. Junior then told Spawn that Minnie and he weren't always that close and she once looked different. Three days ago he went to Halloween Town to celebrate Halloween but when on the party Minnie took all the spotlight and he left. After playing fetch with Zero he got captured by Lock, Shock and Barrel.
At Oogie's Manor they wanted him to be their "friend" and know about his parents so Grim Jr. told them their past story. Suddenly Oogie Boogie slammed him KO and wanted to open his skull to see his Reaper powers. Minnie then came to save him but Grim Jr. didn't wanted her to save him. Then Oogie Boogie summoned the Pumpkinator and killed Minnie.
She gave her right eye to Grim Jr. who then suddenly encountered Nergal in his mind who explained the Nergal Demons process when dying. When back Minnie got taken by Redeemer to Heaven. Grim Jr. them merged himself with the destroyed Pumpkinator and killed Lock, Shock, Barrel and Oogie. He went into the town while Jack, Mandy and Grim started to attack.
Grim and Clockwork went inside the Demon Reaper and found Junior's soul and took it with them. But Clockwork instead took him to the Underworld. He encountered Redeemer there again and also a girl, they then encountered Jeff the Spider and left to his cave. There Junior encountered Minnie and the girls transformed into Mimi and Him also came.
Eventually Redeemer took Minnie with him to heaven and Mimi took Jeff and Junior to Limbo. There Clockwork brought him back to Halloween Town. He there got eaten by the Demon Reaper along with Minnie but his inner Nergal helped him escape. Dark Danny used a giant ghost beam to destroy it and only the evil Grim Jr. was left. Minnie's spirit hugged him and he turned back to normal.
What About Mimi?
In Chaper 6, What About Mimi, At the castle he was playing Twister with Minnie until there was an intruder and they hurried to help. Mimi was the intruder, Junior tried to convince her but she instead trapped Grim Jr. on Minnie and went into the vault. They eventually were freed by Grim while Mandy gave Mimi the Horror's Hand and it showed her worst memory; when she was in the ruins of Megaville as a human.
Afterwards, she let out a scream of sadness. Mandy ripped out Mimi's Devil Essence from her and locked it away in Mandy's Vault. Mimi became weak, and Mandy ordered Pain to put her in the dungeon. But Junior stood up for Mimi, defying his mother. Mandy ordered him to move, in consequence, she beats him up. Even after, he still gave defiance, and even summoned his Nergal power to defend her.
Mandy commented that she is impressed. She informs Junior if he wanted a pet, he could have asked, but she warns that she will rip Mimi's head off if she catches her in her vault again. Grim Jr. was later seen laying Mimi in his bed. Junior was upset with himself for standing up to his own mother Mandy and then his Nergaling enraged Jr. by insulting his mother.
While Grim Jr. was restraining his Nergaling, Nergal Sr. came and talked to Junior about why he would go up against his mother because he wanted to protect Mimi and that its Junior's responsibility to take care of her and help protect her. When Grim Jr. and Nergal were talking Mimi hid under his bed. Junior tried to convince her to come out from under his bed and make her understand that he was trying to help her but, she ended up attacking him and his Nergal instead.
After having restrained Mimi Junior attempted to communicate with her that he knew she was in pain, but he was trying to help her, and promised to help her rescue Jeff. Unfortunately his passionate pleas feall on deaf ears as she overpowered him once more.
Chapter 8
As Mimi hadn't eaten for days, Junior asked Lord Pain to make a muffin and a banana cake, food that would Jeff's specialities. Pain referred to it as nothing and Junior leaves. The Nergaling mentions it is quite nice of Pain, especially since Mimi almost crushed his head with a meat tenderizer. After discussing his plans with the Nergaling, they decided that it would be safe to come with some protection and he dones a symbiotic armor, composed of several sport equipment. When he arrived in the room, he discovered that he have been wandering off and finds herself on the horn of the castle. In an attempt to save her, Junior went after her. In her delusion, as she saw Jeff trying to give her a muffin, she slipped, to which Junior jumped after her. The moment he caught her, he used his nergaling powers to create a grapple gun and saved their lives. But his victory was brief as suddenly someone cut the rope. Facing near death, he learns the ability of fly as his nergaling forms giant wings and save both their hides, mere moments before they would crash on Grim. In the next page of the comic it was revealed that the one who cut the rope was his own mother, who tried to teach Minnie a lesson. After Junior returned to his room with Mimmie, she awoke but instead of thanking him, she started maiming him once more. Her attack was shortlived however as she soon found the muffin he brought her. As she seemed to like the treat, Junior and his Nergaling concluded that their effort was worth it's while and thought about making more.
He is later, skating through the corridors of Castle Grimskul. He is described by Demongo to Chi as being not much. Unbeknowst to them, his reaping skills have increasingly developed and fused with his demonic powers, making slightly more dangerous then one would expect.
Afterbirth
|
ATTENTION: This article contains non-canon information. This means it isn't in one of the comics and also not planned for the future. |
A couple of years later in Afterbirth Junior has fully mastered his demon and reaper powers and is a professional bounty hunter. One day Junior returned back to Castle Evergrim to see his family when he discovers by his parents that Minnie has been kidnapped by Boogeyman. Grim Jr. goes to search for her going by several demons to ask where she is. They all said something about a basilican and asked Mimi for some help. Suddenly Daniela got kidnapped by Empheles who was along with Manny spying on Grim Jr. Mimi searched for Basilican sighting and discovered the residence of Boogeyman.
He and Manny went to Boogeyman's castle when suddenly Manny got captured by Drax. Junior continued and broke into there castle where he encountered Boogeyman who explained him that Minnie didn't want to go back and they are engaged by getting Minnie's other eye. Grim Jr. then had a fight with Minnie about this topic when suddenly Junior pulled out his eye and gave it to Boogeyman in exchange for his siblings. Minnie saw that Junior did care about her and grabbed the eye and put it back in herself. Minnie stabbed the other eye out off Boogeyman and became a Nergal again. The two fought Boogeyman and defeated him, after everyone had gathered they returned home.
Personality
Though he is expected to become the new Grim Reaper one day, as his father did before him, Junior hasn't experienced his "reaper powers" yet. Grim Jr. only has his sister and his parents for company, as well as a few of his relatives on occasion. Grim Jr. has focused his time on activities like basketball, baseball, skateboarding, trading cards, and break-dancing, neglecting his studies as a result. Ms. Helga, the tutor his mother hired for her children, is displeased with this.
Appearance
Grim Junior (much like his father Grim Reaper) is a skeleton, although his skull is in resemblance to his uncle Jack. Grim Junior wears a black sweater with a hoodie, sports shoe and fingerless gloves. Unlike his father and uncle, Junior has hair on his head and a right eye given by his sister Minnie. In his human form, Junior has skin and the small tuft of his brunette hair has grown to all the way to his head. His right eye is gray, and his left eye is blue, and he still wearing his usual black attire.
Grim Jr. used to be extremely jealous of his sister, Minnie, but has since then showed he does care for her and loves her very much, being protective of her and forming a close bond. He may also have feelings for Minnie. To be more precise, because he doesn't have much interaction with many other besides his family, Jr. when making friends has shown to care for them a lot and will do anything for their well being as shown. When they were in danger of HIM, Jr. begged Clockwork to either leave him there with them or save them all.
He is very grounded, as in a lot of power goes to his head, however he does not crave it, and even it said it "wasn't his thing". In the beginning Grim Jr. was a crybaby, often calling for his mom when in trouble, but that soon changed when he got his demonic powers, becoming fearless and strongwilled. Before being lectured by the Redeemer, Jr. often judged a book by his cover, but it seems he's grown past this. He will stand up for what he thinks is right and won't back down from anybody, including his mother, albiet dismayed at it later on. Overall, Jr. is a nice and good hearted person, just a bit clueless and naive but otherwise a good person.
Powers and Abilities
While Grim Jr. hasn't displayed any abilities of a Reaper yet besides what might be the most basic skills, i.e. taking a soul out of a body and putting it back in one. He has shown a number of Demonic abilities, although he at first couldn't control it without Minnie. In Chapter 8 it was shown he had full control over his Nergaling, possibly because he befriended it. It is shown in "What about Mimi" that he does have some control of it and even argues with it from time to time. Hhowever, in Afterbirth he has shown mastery of both his Reaper and Demonic abilities. He is able to live with detached limbs, as this ability is shown when Mimi ripped his skull head off, along with his spine. This does seem to hurt him when someone cuts the demonic substance, though it quickly regenerates.
Demonic Abilities
Grim Jr's Demon Form
- Nergal Demon Power: He can create powerful weapons and the ability to transform into a demonic form and often his human form(when around Mimi). He has shown the ability to create: wings, claws, tail, cloaks(that is reminiscent of his Dads), tentacles, and demonic armor in the present time, while in the future he has learned to create a Gun, a flying surfboard and a drill. However later in Afterbirth Junior lost his demonic abilities, while Minnie regained hers, it is unknown if she will give her powers back to Junior. Although his Scythe had Nergal powers implying that Minnie Enchanted her brother's scythe so he can use the Nergal powers.
- Ghost Beam: Near the end of Chapter 6 after the Demon Reaper was destroyed, the evil Grim Jr. appeared and attempted to attack using a ghost beam but was stopped by Minnie. He has not used it again suggesting that the power was temporary, likely from absorbing the blast from Dan Phantom.
- Knowledge of the Nergal Language: In both GT and Afterbirth he has shown the ability to communicate with his Demonic half. Before Afterbirth he is shown communicating with Minnie in this language. He also often communicates with his demonic half, usually when they're arguing (although they're speaking English when they argue).
Reaper Abilities
- Portals One of the first abilities Junior demonstrates is to create portals between places allowing him instantaneous travel over large distances, thus far he has not demonstrated travel through time yet.
- Reaping Perhaps the most basic ability of any reaper is to extract a soul from it's host, but rather than escorting the soul to the after life like most reapers Junior prefers to feed it to his Nergaling.
- Necromancy One of Juniors lesser abilities is to reanimate and control a dead body. After Minnie's death he reconstructed her body, with Dr. Finklestein's help, and reinserted Minnie's soul into it.
Weaknesses
- Nergal Language Despite having separated from the Nergaling Minnie has demonstrated that she can still control it, and by extension Junior's body, through the use of the Nergal language, such as ordering it attack Junior for example.
