Eugene Cooney (Comic Series)

"Sorry just ain't gonna cover it!"

- Eugene to Harold before advancing on him.

Eugene is a character first encountered in Issue 28 of The Walking Dead and is a pudgy, bald cage fighter and resident living in Woodbury.

Pre-Apocalypse
Nothing is known about Eugene's life before or as the apocalypse began. It is possible he was already a resident living at Woodbury.

Post-Apocalypse
Not much is known about his past. Eugene seems to have anger problems, such as when he gets his teeth knocked out by Harold in a fight, he goes on a rampage, killing Harold in Dr. Stevens' office by stabbing him in the neck. He is volatile and angry, making him one of Woodbury’s best fighters. He duels Michonne in a death match in the Woodbury cage and ends up dying having his head decapitated.

Killed By

 * Michonne

In the arena fight, Michonne kicks Eugene in his groin, and lastly, his head is decapitated. His reanimated head is presumably destroyed or kept by the Governor as his estranged form of television. One of his feet is given for food to Penny.

Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Eugene has killed:
 * Harold
 * Possibly numerous counts of zombies.

Harold
It is clear that Eugene and Harold were not friends, as proven when Eugene aggressively confronted Harold in Dr. Stevens' clinic after having his teeth knocked out by Harold. Their dialogue did not suggest any sort of friendship, and Eugene had no problem sticking a knife in Harold's throat as payback.

Trivia

 * Robert Kirkman answered the question whether naming characters the same name, Billy, Chris, Jim, Eugene, Eric, and Bruce was an oversight, "It's not oversight at all. It's completely unrealistic for a group of people to meet at random and never encounter the same names."
 * Eugene is one of the many amputees in The Walking Dead. For other victims, see Amputated Victims.
 * Eugene managed to have his head decapitated by Michonne.
