Canonically, Addy is not an only child. He had an older brother, Victor, who kept bullies from picking on Addy for being a heavyset kid. Unfortunately, Victor developed a rare blood disorder, and became the target for bullies. Seeing Victor get picked on made something in Addy snap and start pummeling anyone who laid a hand on him.

At the direction of the school, Addy took up extracurricular boxing as an outlet for all that aggression he'd been suppressing. While Victor was left alone after that incident, he wouldn't live to see graduation or his little brother's first of many wins.

He doesn't like to fight, but when pushed, he needs only think of his brother.
