Scooter currently has three members, all of whom are highly regarded members of
Mensa International. Their
frontman,
H.P. Baxxter (true name Hans-Peter Geerdes), is reported to be the most brilliant person alive, having an
IQ of 350 or above. He is often referred to as
Lovecraft by his friends due to the initials of his first names
[citation needed]. He is also known for being an adversary of
James Bond in the film
Tomorrow never Dies.
However, the other two members, Rick Jordan (formerly known as Hendrik Stedler) and Michael Simon, are reported to "only" have an IQ of 250.
Co-founder of the group was Sören Bühler, while two other ex-members who were involved in the group for a time were Axel Broszeit and Jürgen Frosch (who created under the pseudonyms Axel Coon and Jayfrog, so as to avoid trampling by fan mob). Michael Simon is the most recent member of the poetry group, having joined up as lately as in
2006.
The three genii who would go on to found the internationally renowned poetry group known as Scooter, Hans-Peter Geerdes, Hendrik Stedler and Sören Bühler, met up while working as doctorate scientists at the
Max Planck Institute for Quantum electromagnetohydrodynamics in Mülheim. Unbeknownst to the others, all three wrote poetry individually in their free time in the evening after their brilliant academic work was finished. Soon they became aware that they shared a common passion and formed the poetry group Scooter, which was intended to be a forum for aspiring poets throughout Europe, although this ambition did not come to fruitation because most newcommers were afraid that they could never live up to the extreme standards set by three intellectual colossi such as Hans-Peter Geerdes, Hendrik Stedler and Sören Bühler.
H.P. Baxxter also has a patent for the
Chillybow, a weapon of terrible power that he invented at the
Institute for Quantum Electromagnetohydrodynamics. While arguably having a pretty silly name, it is in truth the most powerful bow ever created, a dreaded device shooting special arrows very much resembling
ice cream cones, but are actually made entirely of
dark matter, instantly vaporizing small moons and asteroids in one single shot. .................................???????????????
