The Stingers is the third major group to join the series, after Jem and the Holograms and The
Misfits, and with a new sound. It's the only of the three groups with a male lead singer. Infact this
new group consists entirely of troublemakers, but in a less obvious and somewhat more subtle way, or as they
say themselves, they like to play mind games and have fun at people's expense. And they manage to shake things
around, even for the Misfits.
Eric Raymond manages to have them sign to
Misfits Music, and they accept with the condition that they are given half the company and rename it
Stinger's Sound.

The leadsinger of the Stingers, who also plays guitar. His charisma practically casts a
spell over most people who see him, including Pizzazz
and Jem. He doesn't really use his charm on Jerrica, Roxy,
Stormer and Jetta. And those who are on their guard
against him like Aja, aren't affected. Unlike his rival Rio, Riot
likes Jem's mystery, and doesn't want to find out who
she really is, because he doesn't tolerate the slightest flaw.
Riot considers himself perfect, and will never settle for anything
but the best.
He doesn't like to talk about his family and background.
His family was forced to move
around alot to different cities and even countries when Riot grew up,
and never stayed long enough for Riot to form any friendships. Riot spent his last
three years of high school in Germany, he speaks fluent German, and likes Germany
better than any other place he has lived. Although Riot wanted to play music, his father never
approved of it, and pushed him to join the army. But while stationed in west Germany,
Riot joined his first band, Nirvana.
Plays guitar in the Stingers. Her parents are
divorced, and she grew up spending nine months with
her mother who is a real-estate saleswoman in San
Francisco, and three months in the summer with her
father who is a neurologist in Chicago. The only thing that gets Rapture going is music, and
fantasy, which Rapture prefer over the mundane real world. Her interest
is fantasy oriented movies, books, and fantasy art. She
collects statues of griffins, chimeras, and dragons.
Even if she doesn't really believe in it all herself,
she has a big imagination and uses it to manipulate people, especially if she can earn
something on it.
Plays synthesizer in the Stingers. Comes from Berlin,
west Germany. Her mother is a secretary and her father is a computer
repairman. Minx has always been fascinated with the insides of computers and instruments,
and has an impressively good technical mind. She went to high
school with Riot in west Germany. She loves to flirt, she thinks she can get any man she wants,
and enjoys stealing men from other
women, and dumps them once she succeeds. But she
hasn't been able to charm Rio yet. She has a sharp tongue and says whatever she feels like.
Except for Riot and Rapture, she doesn't like Americans.
