As this video reveals, Powers’ character name was taken from the 1970s stuntman who strapped a freaking rocket to his Lincoln Continental and tried to hop a body of water. Things did not go well in true Powers fashion. Atlanta Braves reliever John Rocker inspired many of the HBO Powers’ unfortunate statements against minorities. As far as Powers’ tendency to take out cameramen goes, Mets Reliever Kenny Rogers may have had a hand in that character trait. However, the most important detail of all — Powers’ glorious mullet — sprang from the head of Mitch “Wild Thing” Williams.
