Spam Mail

Spam Mail are unsolicited electronic messages sent in bulk to mass amounts of users at once. The first instance of Spam Mail was in 1978, where a Digital Equipment Corp marketer advertised their company's newest computer model to 393 ARPANET computers throughout America. From that day forward, users who received bulk emails grew to perceive it as annoying, as Spam Mail today mainly consists of advertisements, unimportant messages or traps set by corruption forces.

Cyber criminals have the ability to create and send Spam Mail as well, but promote it more often on business computers than personal PCs due to the money that they may possess. Anyone who opens the attachments of malicious messages may be subject to unwanted malware/virus downloads, phishing attacks, keystroke logging and ransomware infections.

Corruptions usch such as Stormworm and BubbleBoy in Knockoff along with Happy99 and Creeper in Databrawl all infect computers through spam messages, and therefore have this character to thank.

Role in battle
If played safe and within distance from danger, Spam Mail can be the strongest character in the game. Their fists are fairly average, but their low HP (125) makes melee combat incredibly risky. Due to this, Spam Mail comes packed with a "Spam Toss" move, which throws three envelopes at the enemy. Each projectile inflicts low-to-average damage, but low move cooldown allows for rapid use, and especially effective close-range combat.

Trivia

 * The term "Spam" in Spam Mail came from the Monty Python short "Spam" which addressed how commonplace Spam (food) was becoming after WWII.
 * Before the November 16 / 2019 update that changed the moves of Spam Mail, MrsMayor and Y2K; Spam Mail's special move only shot one projectile and was broken to where hits couldn't register. This made Spam Mail the #1 weakest special character ingame before the update.


 * The "Mail" in "Spam Mail" actually refers to the class of the character, "Mail" being the Standard class.
