Special Abilities
Contender's unique weapon, the Boxing Gloves, can kill most Zombies in 1 or 2 hits. In addition to her high damage basic attack, she also utilizes a special ability called ''Uppercut'' which causes her to fling an uppercut that can hit multiple zombies knocking them over but dealing sufficiently reduced damage.
Trivia
- She may be based on Little Mac from the Punch-Out!! video games, as evidenced by a quote about losing a fight to 'Glass-Jaw Joe', a possible reference to Glass Joe from the same series.
- She is possibly based on the character Rocky from the Rocky Movies.
- If Contender is indeed based on Rocky, that means there are two characters based on roles played by actor Sylvester Stallone. The other being Rambeaux.
