Biography:
One of the team’s main snipers, Soda-Pop is usually kept away from the battlefield and his whereabouts are strategically concealed from the enemy. When the situation arises, he will often feed tactical information from his position to Bubblegum. Extremely proficient at his job, he will then use his marksmanship skills to pick off enemy targets with ease.
Besides his skillfulness as a sniper, which was used often during the civil war amongst the fallen angels, and due to his proficiency behind the wheel of an automobile, Soda-Pop was also called upon to evacuate his brethren from hostile situations on more than one occasion. When a quick getaway was not needed, he would often transport the Heathens back to their base of operations after the completion of a successful mission.
Although he loves to shoot guns and drive fast, nothing excites Soda-Pop more than tinkering with the fleet of cars that Kismet has collected over the years. Besides making some of these vehicles go faster, handle better, or sound louder, Soda-Pop will also add a host of protective measures to make them safer in case of an ambush.
For instance, to make the school bus the Heathens use as a primary mode of transportation more functional in those aspects, he spent many weeks making a number of modifications to the vehicle. First, and to add some much-needed power to the relatively slow and heavy vehicle, he ripped out the old engine and replaced it with a 6.2L supercharged Hemi V-8 making over 800 horsepower that he took from a Dodge Demon that a drunken Lemon-Drop had crashed into a tree. Not satisfied with the quarter mile time the bus was generating, Soda-Pop played around with the air intake system, reworked the exhaust, changed the heat exchangers, and retuned the engine to produce well over 1,000 ponies. Next, he upgraded the transmission and suspension. Once those jobs were finished, and because the school bus still had difficulty, putting all the power down, he hand-built a new drivetrain. With the installation of an all-wheel drive system, the old Jalopy was able to accelerate like a bat out of hell. With his concerns over acceleration and top speed now lessened, Soda-Pop got to work on upgrading the safety features of the school bus. He did this by swapping out the old windows for new ones made of bulletproof glass. He also reinforced the hull so that it could withstand automatic gunfire, and added some lightweight steel plates below the floorboards to protect the undercarriage from grenades, bombs, or landmines.
While it may take too much time to do such modifications to every car within Kismet's fleet, Soda-Pop did make similar changes to the Mercedes Benz that once belonged to Giacomo Grimaldi.

Soda-Pop's Current Top Three Favorite Vehicles to Drive:
1. Porsche 918 Spyder:
Due to the 887 HP, 9,000 RPM redline, and never-ending torque, this supercar is extremely fast. The silky PDK transmission, amazing throttle response, tight steering, and unbelievable road grip make this car a masterpiece and fun to drive. Even though only 918 units were built, and can cost almost $2,000,000 to own, Kismet managed to add three of them to his stable of cars after the untimely deaths of some of his enemies. Unfortunately, Lolli-Pop destroyed his bright green one when she took it out for a joyride. She also managed to total his red one when trying to win a bet against Bittersweet as they raced from Moody Square back to the farmhouse. As for the last one in Kismet's possession, not only is Lolli-Pop forbidden from driving the sports car, but she must also maintain a six-foot distance from the vehicle at all times.
2. Tesla Model S Plaid:
With over 1,000 HP coming from three electric motors, this Tesla is an insanely fast sedan. Even though the gobs of power can rocket the car to 60 mph in under 1.99 seconds and it can reach a quarter mile in less than 10 seconds, the instant torque can become nauseating after a few repeated launches. Due to its top speed of over 200 mph, Pop-Pop is forbidden from driving the vehicle because the rush of excitement he experiences when behind the wheel usually overwhelms him. Since it requires an electric charging station, the Tesla is stored at the junkyard under Gumdrop's watchful eyes.
3. Dodge Durango Hellcat:
Thanks to the 710 HP coming from a supercharged 6.2L Hemi V8 that screams louder than Giacomo Grimaldi when being tortured, this mean-looking truck is a hoot to drive. Not only is it a beast off the line, but the Durango Hellcat even comes with a third row of seating that is spacious enough to accommodate Cinnamon and all of her personalities. The black Durango with red racing stripes was acquired by Kismet after he confiscated it from the home of a hefty fallen angel he had killed. The truck is often used by Butter-Crunch and Sprinkles as they were in need of a vehicle to take them to and from Tombstone Supplements.
