characters

Here, you can find some info on various characters that have appeared in AnimeTronic, and some that haven't appeared in the new comics yet. This will update over time. Note: some minor characters will not be mentioned. For info on Smashu, Cranke, Ze, and Shiner, check The Silver Special, Part I. For info on Glalien, Steela, Giddi, and Dr. Foe, check The Silver Special, Part II. Yakool [forgotten origin] Appeared only in the very first comic, he is Giddi's brother. He was mutated into a dragonlike creature by Dr. Foe's vortex machine. I've purposely omitted him from the new comic, and I doubt he will have a role. Will appear in Zero. Destruct [from the word destruction] When the team first formed, they [well, just Smashu and Ze] faced the dual opposition of Steela and Destruct. The fight ended with Destruct being arrested, and Steela getting away. Not seen in the new comics, Destruct will probably make a comeback later on. Will appear in Zero. Giant Robot [obvious] In the first comic, the main henchman [and weapon] of Dr. Foe. I never finished the comic, so he never met an end, though the story goes that he was defeated at the hands of a robot piloted by the team. Will appear in Zero. Saiphon [from the word syphon, dunno why] Another enemy from an unfinished comic, Saiphon was a toxic waste monster who could shapeshift, as well as absorb things to gain power. Tricked into absorbing a bomb made to look like Smashu, he blew up. Will appear in Zero. Programoid [from the word program] A being made of digital data, its origins and original purpose are unknown. Various versions exist, and it is often used as a minion by random evil forces. Commieman [words commie and man] One of the elite heroes in the city, he is a very mysterious figure. While he is a famous and well-liked fighter, he often clashes with authorities due to his political views. Fake Smashu [words fake and Smashu] A Smashu replica Dr. Foe created from a Programoid. Meant to be as strong as Smashu, the two also had a similar personality and refused to fight each other. Box Guy [obvious] The unnamed right hand of Dr. Foe, he had a few lines, but was relatively an unimportant character. Most likely won't appear in the series again.
