| abstract | - A specky wimp appears in Streets of Rage strip Skates' Story. As revealed by Skates, "there's always one jerk in every class who's into computers, one specky wimp with rich parents who drive him to school". Although the description may be offensive to those Boomers who had their own computer, it was primarily a description of a nerdy boy who's computer was hijacked by Skates to analyse a computer disk. Skates was able to bring up the names and crimes of several corrupt police officers before he left the geeky boy. Later, this "wimp" was responsible for bringing down the whole police precinct and condemning Mr X to imprisonment. After Skates left, the boy backed-up his copy of the file, ensuring he would have a version when the police crushed Skates' disk. With this information, the boy gave the details back to Skates and ensured the corrupt officers were all put on trial. He was later interviewed by CNN and other media outlets, stating "my pop says it pays to be organised".
