A closet-intellectual with a brain as powerful as his muscles, Bones started stuttering after a tragic library accident (an accident that involved a hot librarian and a heavy book falling on his head from a shaking book shelf). The incident inspired T-Bone to go into emergency medicine, where he fine-tuned his knowledge of female anatomy and medicinal herbs. The son of a gynecologist and a professor of African American Studies, T-Bone can almost see his future through the haze of Mary Jane that he envelopes himself in to keep his stuttering under control.
