The ABB was based out of the east end of the city,<ref>I knew who these guys were.

You either ended up at the Docks, or you ended up at the Boardwalk.  Because most areas of the Docks were not the sort of place that you just breezed through, given the vagrants, gang members and general crime, I stuck to main roads leading past the Docks and to the Boardwalk. - [[Agitation 3.1]]</ref><ref name="I2">[[Interlude 2]]</ref> They were mainly known for pressuring all young Asians in that part of the city to join; this was unusual, as most Asian gangs will recruit from a single ethnicity.<ref name="1.3">[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/06/18 Excerpt] from [[Gestation 1.3]]</ref>

The ABB commits crimes such as theft, protection rackets, peddling contraband, prostitution and sexual slavery.<ref>The Docks are ripe for the taking.  The location’s worth as much money as you’d get downtown.  It’s the go to place if you want to buy black market.  Sex, drugs, violence.  And the locals are already used to paying protection money.  It’s just a matter of changing who they pay to. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/08/06/interlude-2/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 2]]</ref><ref>Lung has a high classification but a relatively low level of ambition.

==Structure==
Along with the [[Empire Eighty-Eight]], the ABB is one of the most prominent gangs in [[Brockton Bay]]. Despite having far fewer capes than the E88, the ABB was considered equally threatening, mainly thanks to the powers of [[Lung]] and [[Oni Lee]] and later the immense destructive capabilities of [[Bakuda]].

On the lower levels, the gang is primarily held together by intimidation and murder.

Bakuda was able to expand membership immensely through forceful recruitment via a combination of kidnapping, murder and implanting bombs in peoples' heads.

==PRT Response==
The [[Protectorate|Brockton Bay Protectorate]] has tried to stop them several times, but were unable to bring Lung into custody.

==History==
===Background===
The Azn Bad Boys shares its name with the first American gang [[Lung]] joined when he arrived in America. He continues to use the name as an example of what he does to his enemies.<ref>“But the ‘Azn Bad Boys’?”<br><br>“A reminder, to my enemies, of what I’ve done before, what I could do again.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/21 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 22.y]]</ref>

Lung made it a mission to conquer and absorb every gang in Brockton Bay with Asian members and many without. Once he had the manpower he needed, the non-Asian gangs were cannibalized for assets, their members discarded.<ref name="2.2">[[Insinuation 2.2]]</ref>

Once there were no more major gangs in the east end of town to absorb, he began forcing anyone Asian older than twelve and younger than sixty to join or pay tribute. There had been local news reports on it, newspaper articles, and signs in the guidance counselor’s office detailing where people who were targeted in this way could go for help.<ref name="2.2">[[Insinuation 2.2]]</ref>

[[Oni Lee]] was Lung's "flunky" in the [[ABB]], and his only parahuman subordinate for a time.<ref name="1.3"/> [[Bakuda]] joined just before canon start.<ref name="1.6">[[Gestation 1.6]]</ref>
===Story Start===
On April 11, 2011, Lung was brought into custody by [[Armsmaster]] after being forcefully incapacitated by [[Taylor Hebert]] and the [[Undersiders]]. At the time, the gang numbered between forty or fifty unpowered individuals.<ref name="2.2"/> Following his arrest, [[Bakuda]] took over the gang.

Notable elements of [[Bakuda]]'s reign include the "recruitment" of all Asians between the ages of 15 and 50, the implantation of remote activated explosive devices into the heads of all ABB members, and the detonation of bombs throughout [[Brockton Bay]] to inspire fear. During these events, Oni Lee broke Lung out of prison. There was also a notable [[Bakuda vs. The Undersiders|conflict]] between [[Bakuda]] and the [[Undersiders]].

Due to [[Bakuda]]'s extreme actions bringing unwanted attention and destruction, several villain groups including [[Coil]], the [[Undersiders]], the [[Travelers]], [[Faultline’s Crew|Faultline's Crew]] and the [[Empire Eighty-Eight]] created a temporary alliance to dismantle the ABB. As a result of this alliance, both [[Lung]] and [[Bakuda]] were incarcerated in the [[Baumann Parahuman Containment Center]], and the ABB was dissolved.
