Tenderloin is a fighter the player eventually acquires in the 2015 video game, Mad Max. She is addicted to huffing gasoline, which renders her incapable of solving her own problems, leading Max to do that for her. After reducing the threat on Pink Eye's territory, Max and Tenderloin will go to Gas Town to join a race. she is voiced by Nika Futterman.
History[]
Tenderloin is described by Crow Dazzle as "once one of the best fighters"; however, after contracting a debt with him, she has become an addict to "fumes" (chrome paint, gasoline, coolant...). After Max Rockatansky asks for her help as his fighter in the Gas Town race, she agrees, on the condition that he fixes her debt with Crow Dazzle. After Max does so, she manages to get herself "sober" and joins him in the race, helping him defeat Stank Gum using the Thunderpoon.
However, after they destroy the raider's chariot, they are lifted in the Thunderdome, where the secondary purpose of the "fighter" comes to light: he/she and the driver must fight to the death in hand-to-hand combat, in keeping with the only rule of Thunderdome, "Two men enter, one man leaves!". Despite her great agility and her impressive skills with two curved knives, Max manages to gain the upper hand and kills her.
Trivia[]
- Even after the Thunderdome fight, Tenderloin can still be found where Max first met her at Mortal Bite, once again inhaling nitrous fumes. This is, however, a bug, and her death is considered canon.
