"Frank was one of the finest frigging soldiers I ever met!"

Frank Bennedetto was once Marzipan's popcorn machine, who joined in the Homestarmy before or during January 2004. Frank, unfortunately, was the lone casualty of The Battle of Strong Badia depicted in the Strong Bad Email army. At that time, he was believed to have died and left behind a debt of five bucks, payable to Homestar Runner. Homestar attempted to collect said bucks from Frank's mother, Mrs. Bennedetto (a.k.a. Marzipan's microwave).

It has later been shown that Frank Bennedetto has not actually perished in combat. His status was upgraded to "POW" in the Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon, as he was seen behind a fence as part of a collection of stolen goods.

He now seems to have been freed, and is once again a proud member of the Homestarmy, where he holds the rank of Third-Style Private. Some time after receiving this title, he joined Colonel Homestar Runner in an effort to ensure that "nobody or their brother does any type of work at all" on Labor Day. He is also a posterboy for the Homestarmy as seen in armywallpaper3.jpg where he is featured in a poster to the right of Homestar's.

However, Bennedetto was later seen at the Homestarmy's booth at the Vaguely Military Career Fair in more armies, where a sign described him as a "memorial statue". This may mean that his death at the Battle of Strong Badia was real, although it could also just be a commemoration of his service in the Homestarmy.

In all likelihood, Bennedetto is a Presto 04820 PopLite Popcorn Maker.
