Dio

Dio is a character in the World Heroes series of fighting games. He is the boss of the second game. He was originally another form of Geegus named King. He was conceived to bend into various plant and animal forms, his most prominent being a lion. However, due to this character suffering from a weak AI, it was adapted to create the current Dio. This form bore a resemblance to Kars, an antagonist in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Story
Because of the failure of his previous creation, Geegus, Damudo created a new, stronger, better artificial soldier: Dio. But Dio developed consciousness and roams different times killing many people.

Personality
This being likes to kill anyone that enters his way.

Powers

 * Artificial Physiology - His body is made of a liquid material that he can reshape at will. He can solidify his body and transform it into blades.
 * Elemental Energy Use - In Neo Geo Battle Coliseum Dio can burn or freeze the opponent as well as channel electricity through his "hair" or fire balls of electricity.

Fighting Style
His fighting style uses a lot of his physiology. He attacks with blades and with high-speed moves.

Cultural References
His name means God in Italian, but it was probably inspired by Ronnie James Dio, heavy metal singer. Like his other form, Dio also parodies some of Dio Brando's lines from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Some of which includes "Wryy!" and "Muda muda!".
