5 fan questions about The Walking Dead answered for April 29, 2017

#1. How did Negan become who he is?

Sallie Cruz on Facebook: “Who was Negan before the apocalypse and how did he get so powerful?”

Skybound went back to tell the story of how Negan became who he is in the ‘Here’s Negan’ series of comics in the IMAGE+ magazine, but there is still a lot that isn’t known about the man who leads The Saviors.

Revealed in those comics are his previous occupation, his relationship with his wife, the origin of Lucille, and much more, but one of the most important questions has yet to really be answered about his past.

Of course, Negan runs The Sanctuary. He has many people working under him with multiple wives and never has to do work on anything unless he wants to. But how he ended up in that position is still anyone’s guess.

It is possible that just based on his charisma and attitude that he was able to get people to follow him. Sadly, there is a long history of people following people with that kind of stature, and Negan is likely just another in that long line.
