Zammy's parents were mahjarrats. They met zillions of years ago and had a Mahjarrat wedding, which when the groom's side of the family fight the bride's side of the family until one of the sides gets so beat up it can't fight anymore. Then they get to choose which cake to eat: one full of poison that gives immense pain to the body, or one full of tacks, nails, shards of class, screws, toenails, and sawdust. A few decades later, Zammy was born. Like other Mahjarrat babies, they used him as a football, trash can, plunger, and electrical transformer. They also taught Zammy to be evil.
