Neptuneman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neptuneman (ネプチューンマン) was a character in the comedic superhuman wrestling comic Kinnikuman. Originally appearing as a villain, like many such characters he turned over a new leaf after losing to Kinnikuman. He was modeled after Hulk Hogan and even used an Axe Bomber-type clothesline (which Hogan was more known for using in Japan) as his trademark move.

[edit] Techniques
- Neptune Mask (ネプチューンマスク)
- The source of Neptuneman's Magnet Power. It takes magnetic energy from The Earth itself and transfers it to Neptuneman's body. Locking a magic keyhole in the Earth's crust is the only way to turn the mask off.
- Quarrel Bomber (喧嘩（クォーラル）ボンバー)
- First used on Warsman during the fight with the Choujin Master/Student Combo. It is a simple Axe Bomber-style clothesline.
- Quarrel Special (喧嘩（クォーラル）スペシャル)
- First used on Kendaman. A variation of the Manji Hold which sees the attacker wraps his leg around the victims neck while pulling on their left arm with both hands.
- Quarrel Ride (喧嘩（クォーラル）ライド)
- Double Leg Suplex (ダブル・レッグ・スープレックス)
- First used on Warsman during the fight with the Choujin Master/Student Combo. Neptuneman grabs an opponent from behind, piercing their back with the spikes on his vest. He then places his hands under their thighs, bends back, and drives them shoulder-first into the canvas.
- Magnetic Storm Driver (磁気嵐ドライバー, Jiki Arashi Doraibā)
- First used during the fight with the 20 Million Powers. A powerbomb move in which the Magnet Power draws the opponent towards the canvas.
- Demonic Descent (魔の直滑降, Ma no Chokkakkou)
- First used during the fight with the Muscle Brothers. A super powerful version of the common back toss.
- Cross Bomber (クロス・ボンバー)
- The trademark technique of the Hell Missionaries. First used on Warsman during the fight with the Choujin Master/Student Combo. Two simultaneous Quarrel Bombers on a single opponent, Neptuneman from the front and Big the Budou from behind. It is strong enough to knock an opponent's mask off. He also does this technique with Kinnikuman.
- Cross Enzui (クロス延髄)
- Used during the fight with Super Phoenix and The Omegaman. Similar to the standard Cross Bomber, but done with simultaneous Enzuigiri kicks instead of Quarrel Bombers.
- Optical Fiber Cross Bomber (オプティカル・ファイバー・クロスボンバー)
- A Kinnikuman Nisei technique done with Seiuchin. A stronger version of the Cross Bomber that knocks off the skin of the opponent's face. Neptuneman then feeds the faces to the now beastly Seiuchin as a reward.
- Magnetic Storm Crash (磁気嵐クラッシュ, Jiki Arashi Kurasshu)
- A tag technique first used during the fight with the 20 Million Powers. A Magnet Power technique where Budou performs a Magnetic Storm Driver on one opponent from above and Neptuneman does one on the other opponent from the ring, causing both opponent's heads to eventually collide with one another.
- Mask The End (マスク・ジ・エンド)
- A tag technique used during the fight with the Machineguns. A Magnet Power technique where both Neptuneman and Budou launch themselves in a dropkick position towards opposite sides of an opponents head. They then begin spinning around, causing the opponents mask to peel off (in a similar manner that you would peel an apple).
- Hell's Triple Sentence (地獄の三実刑, Jigoku no San Juukei)
- A tag techniques used during the fight with the Machineguns. Neptuneman performs a Sleeper Suplex on an opponent, then spins the mask around backwards, and finally Budou fits the opponent with a Body Splash.
- Ganryu Island Drop (巌流島ドロップ, Ganryu Shima Doroppu)
- Used during the fight with Super Phoenix and The Omegaman. With the opponent upside down and falling towards the ring, Neptuneman and Kinnikuman jumps towards him. Neptuneman, with his back to the opponent's front, hooks his arms around the opponent's legs while Kinnikuman, facing back to back with the opponent, hooks his arms with the opponent's arms. They then drive him headfirst into the canvas.
- Rainbow Bridge Suplex (レインボーブリッジスープレックス)
- A tag technique used during the fight with Super Phoenix and The Omegaman. While back-to-back and in midair, Neptuneman and Kinnikuman each take an opponent and perform a Back Drop, causing their heads to collide with one another.
[edit] Story
[edit] Prehistory
Neptuneman's true name is Kenkaman (喧嘩男, Quarrelman, he was also called Street Scrapper in the US), and he is a Perfect Choujin from England. He was an incredibly powerful wrestler, so much so that he found it impossible to find opponents who could challenge him. Kenkaman even told Robin Mask that he (Robin) was too weak to fight him. He tried to end his life by jumping into the Thames River, but in doing so found the place where the Great Neptune King, another Perfect Choujin, had been in hibernation. Neptune King had escaped from the world years ago after Choujin Wrestling began to become less about battle and more about tournaments. He longed for the days of Death Matches, which Kenkaman found fascinating. Neptune King gave Kenkaman the Neptune Mask and rechristened him Neptuneman, and he himself wore a mask and became Big the Budou. Both masks gave them Magnet Power (transferred straight from The Earth itself) and increased their strength many fold. (more to come)
