History

Nick Mulligan considered himself 'an undiscovered star' and occasionally went into a fantasy about being a rock star. He was part of a garage band called 10W40. He played the tambourine and was also learning the guitar in #473: “Breaking Point”. Nick used to live in New York, but he got into some trouble and was taken in by his uncle, Mike Mulligan. He then went to live with the Mulligans and worked at Whit's End. Although he did receive salvation on the audio show, he became a Christian in a non-canon Clubhouse Magazine story. Nick seemed to have a sense of honor and chivalry as he considered Rodney Rathbone a bully and loser and even confronted him about it. He has made Rodney back off as he has defended both Nathaniel Graham and Grady McKay before.

After High School, Nick became estranged from his family when he attended New York City College and dated Erica Colburn. He eventually made amends with his family after an encounter with Aubrey Shepard at a gas station at Christmas time.

Family

Main article: Mulligan family

Little is known about Nick's immediate family. The Mulligans became his family when he was taken in by them. Tracy and Mike Mulligan are his adoptive guardians. His adoptive siblings are Lisa, Janelle, Jessica, Hector, Tony, and Brianna.

Character Depiction

In #548: “Sounds Like a Mystery” Nick is stated to have curly blonde hair and is/was 5'8" tall. However, in the canon comic Snow Way Home, it is revealed that Nick's natural hair color is black, and he had previously (or at least during the time frame of "Sounds Like a Mystery") been bleaching it. As such, he has black hair in his official character art, which appears on the Adventures in Odyssey Club and his official trading card. In his non-canon original appearance in Clubhouse Magazine, Nick is depicted with curly reddish brown hair, and in the non-canon book series, and accompanying Clubhouse Magazine comic series, The Magnificent Mulligans (Book Series), Nick is depicted with straight brown hair.

Trivia

• Nick previously had a habit of smoking, but when Nathaniel Graham tried to copy his behavior and got burned, he gave up the habit (#431a: “Where There's Smoke”).
• Also in Where There's Smoke, Nick gives Nathaniel a ring which says "Youth City Boxing Champ" indicating that while he was in New York he was good at boxing. He uses this as a way to intimidate Rodney Rathbone into backing down from fighting Nick as he defends Nathaniel.
• When he first arrived in Odyssey he often called Lisa Mulligan "babycakes," of which she was not very fond.
• Nick's sense of humor has been considered rather amusing.
• He is afraid of chickens, claiming he suffers from alektorophobia. (#483: “Secrets”)
• After High School, Nick attended New York City College and dated Erica Colburn. (Elsewhere in Odyssey)
• Nick flunked out of college and is currently a semi truck driver for Starlight Trucking. (Elsewhere in Odyssey)
