Blackbeard the Pirate Action Figure

Blackbeard's region of terror only lasted 18 months, but during that time he was extremely successful and lived the pirates life to the fullest. At the peak of his power he prowled the seas with 4 ships and well over 300 men. Tales of life aboard one of Blackbeard's ships reveal his unpredictable and impetuous nature. On one occasion, after drinking a potent mixture of rum and gunpowder, he decided to try and get a feel for what it would be like in Hell. Taking a few men into the hold, he closed the hatches and lit some pots of brimstone that soon filled the air with suffocating fumes. When his men could no longer take it they evacuated the hold, gasping for air. Soon after Blackbeard emerged and proudly snarled " I'm a better man than all ye milksops put together!"
