IGGY

Iggy is next in command, but he is equal with the Gasman. I will be covering him next week. Iggy, along with all the flock, has a 16 foot wing span. They need this span to be able to support their weight. Iggy has keen senses, except for his eyesight. The scientists were testing on him and tried to give him laser vision. Sadly it failed and caused him to go blind. He learns to overcome this however. Throughout the series he develops the ability to feel color. This is just one step closer to his dream of regaining his vision.
Iggy, although he is blind, is one of the best fighters. He packs a mean punch. His hearing is just that of a birds, which is how he is able to fight so well. Sometimes the fight doesn't go in his favor. Iggy's specialty is making bombs. The flock has never had an education, but Iggy is a genius when it comes to this subject. Several times the flock was on the verge of dieing and thanks to an explosion they merely escaped.
Iggy has no wow factors. He is not the character that stands out but he is still and important role in the flock. He is probably around 11 years old, but none of the kids know their actual age. Due to his age he does not have that sense of responsibility and control such as Max or Fang. He is more focused on having fun and is tired of saving the world. He just wants to be a normal kid. Who would want to have to fight for their life everyday?

  1. Iggy probably hears so well, because when you lose one of your senses then the others become more advanced. I can't blame him for just wanting to be normal again.

  3. I really don't get how you feel colors. But he seems young, and they expect him to save the world? Why do they do that?

  8. Iggy is actually only about 6 mo younger then Max and Fang. How do the books describe feeling color? Is if a physical or emotional thing?
