Resubmit

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

An editor has marked this as a promising draft because Madness Combat is a well known webseries on the internet and is very well liked/popular, so we should get some sources about it that covers MC and then publish it for readers to read about it (also notable as well!), and requests that, should it go unedited for six months, G13 deletion be postponed, either by making a dummy edit to the page, or by improving it and submitting it for review.

Comment: I love MC but the sourcing is not adequate enough. Aim for a minimum of three reliable, secondary sources that cover the topic in significant depth, more if you can. Rambley ^{(talk / contribs)} 23:15, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Madness Combat is an Action animated Flash web series, created by Matt Jolly. It is well known for its heavy and excessive violence, and the simplistic characters. The first episode was uploaded to Newgrounds in 2002, and the series is still ongoing with the latest installment Madness Combat 12 being released on 22nd September 2024 (aka Madness Day 2024).

It has inspired many fanmade animations.^[1]

In 2021, Matt Jolly and Michael Swain published the PC shoot-em-up video game MADNESS: Project Nexus (draft page) onto Steam, based off of the Madness Combat series and Flash game Madness: Project Nexus Classic.^[2]

Plot

The fictional universe Madness Combat takes place in a fictionalized Nevada, which is a mostly greyscale land. Later on, a new location, the purgatory-style "The other place", is introduced in Chase.fla, wich is part of the canon "Deimos' adventure" miniseries.^[3] Since madness combat 11, the series mainly takes place in a fictionalized hell. The series mostly revolves around mass-killings committed by Hank againist the AAHW.

Madness Combat 1: Hank J. Wimbleton (labelled as "Our Hero") starts a fight over a boombox and a mass massacre of 30 people (32 if you count the two zombies (dead Grunts revived by Jesus)), including Jesus, with several weapons. After he kills everyone, he gets the boombox, kills the dancing grunt in the background, and dances by himself.

Madness Combat 2: Hank J. Wimbleton attempts to locate and kill the Sheriff and breaks into a building, and is willing to kill several Grunts to do so. He finds the Sheriff, but gets shot by Jesus before he can kill the Sheriff with the moral "Do not try to shoot the Sheriff".

Madness Combat 3: Hank J. Wimbleton is revived and now wears a bandage on his head. He still conspires to kill the Sheriff. The Sheriff panics and activates the Improbability Drive, which messes up and distorts reality in a chance to kill Hank. Jesus stabs Hank in the stomach with a sword, but Hank is able to kill Jesus and the Sheriff with a gun before he dies.

Madness combat 4: Hank is again revived, now wearing another bandage on his chest, he invades an agency building and finds himself inside the club M nightclub, where Tricky, a zombie clown that orginally appeared alive in Madness combat 3, is working as a DJ, Hank tries to kill him, but a revived Jesus appears and his zombie agent bodyguard shoots Hank. Before Jesus can finish off Hank with a Deagle, Hank triggers an explosive and they both die.
