Ben “Man of Steel” Richards joins NUT this year for the first time as a junior, bringing an array of muscles that continue to impress casual gym bystanders. A true gym rat, BRich is always down to toss around some weight with his teammates. He has graciously served NUT this year as the pod leader of PrankPod. His pod mates can frequently be found discussing his stunning physique, using phrases like “hunk” and “absolute freak”.
Fun fact: BRich is deathly allergic to nuts. According to Ultiworld reporter Tad Wissel, BRich is also an a**hole. Wissel reports:
“This guy (BRich) comes over to some of his teammates in a huff, and he’s like, “Uhhhhh, are those my sunglasses??” And his teammate is wearing these stupid, crappy, $4 dollar sunglasses from a gas station and he’s like “Ummm, yeah [Ben], they are.” [BRich] responds, “OK, because, you can’t just put them on. You’ve been eating trail mix all morning, you have sunscreen on your hands, like, you can’t just grab them.” [BRich] then takes them off the guy’s head with both of his wrists as to not touch the sunglasses and just kind of cradles them and walks back to his stuff really pissed off… This was on a whole new weird and creepy level of odd stuff that you could see him raging over and possibly quitting the team. So shout out to that guy.“
