Mad Johnny Wes

 is a hostile Wastelander and the sole human occupant of Hubris Comics, as well as the apparent source of all the traps set up throughout the building. He has apparently been holding out against the building's feral ghoul inhabitants for some time.

He is found in Hubris Comics' Printing section, where he is holed up in the fortified Foreman's office overlooking the printing room floor. Wes is protected by 2 automated turrets, as well as a number of frag mines. Wes is armed with a minigun, and has very high health on par with that of a Super Mutant Master. However, his Wastelander outfit is extremely poor armor, and he can be taken out with a handful of well-aimed headshots from a good mid-level weapon.

It's tricky to turn the turrets against Wes, as the computer terminal that controls them is right next to him in the Foreman's office, but it is possible with a high sneak skill or through use of a Stealth Boy/Chinese Stealth Armor. You can also shoot out the turrets' targeting chips to turn them against Wes. In either case, however, Wes can usually destroy the turrets before they can kill him.

Mad Johnny Wes and his turrets spend most of their time raining down hot lead upon the printing floor's feral ghouls from the safety of the balcony-like Foreman's office. If the player walks too close to an explosive object (i.e. a generator or gas tank), Wes will shoot at that object and detonate it, injuring the player.

Mad Johnny Wes is one of a handful of "boss" characters with abnormally high health for a human NPC. He also has an unusually high 10 Perception, allowing him to spot enemies easily.
