Black Thumb
Background
Black Thumb is a mechanic at the Citadel.
During the events of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) played by Clarence Ryan
Furiosa, Brake Man, Winchman, Pissboy, Wretched Man Recruit, Welder Recruit, Rakka The Brakkish and others walk to a meeting being held by Black Thumb with Rictus Erectus, High Master Black Thumb and Scrotus. Scrotus and Black Thumb say that they are going to make a war rig out of all the spare parts available. Rictus asks Wretched Man Recruit who they are doing it for, and Wretched Man Recruit says Immortan Joe. He next asks Pissboy if he is ready to become a blackfinger, followed by Brake Man and finally Furiosa. As Black Thumb is explaining how the Bommyknocker works, Welder Recruit sees Praetorian Jack walk into the area. Pissboy says that Jack has done the most runs on Fury Road and never failed his deliveries. As the War Rig is being built, Brake Man carries along War Pup who also helps out. One night, as Furiosa is hiding potatoes under the War Rig, Black Thumb catches her and Furiosa shows him a piss bottle to act like she was just trying to pee in private.
On Fury Road, Lookout Warboy uses a spyglass and tells Ace Warboy that he's spotted Mortifiers. Ace Warboy tells Jack who says that the Mortifiers have gone rogue. Ace Warboy tells Lookout Warboy contact front and Lookout Warboy spreads the message along the ranks. The War Rig is almost immediately attacked from the rear and the War Rig is quickly surrounded. Two sets of Mortiflyers paraglide and kill or wound all the War Boys riding the tanker of the War Rig. The War Boys escorting the War Rig manage to eliminate one set of paragliding Mortiflyers while Witness Warboy and Lookout Warboy sacrifice themselves in order to eliminate the other set of paragliding Mortiflyers. The Mortiflyer motorcycle is pulled under the War Rig and gets caught. The line feeding one of the War Rig's engines gets cut and Black Thumb goes to repair it. The War Rig's ranks are replenished from a convoy vehicle and a new set of Mortiflyers start their attack this time using paramotors. The paramotor Mortiflyers start whittling down the War Boys and when a paramotor Mortiflyer throws a gas grenade at Ace Warboy, the explosion also injures Black Thumb, causing him to slide under the truck. He manages to hand Furiosa, who was a stowaway underneath, the repair hose with clamps before the stuck Mortiflyer motorcycle and him get pulled away.
