Atomic Guy

Atomic Guy (アトミックガイ) is a fictional character from SNK's fighting/wrestling game series King of the Monsters. He is the successor to Astro Guy from the first King of the Monsters game.

Story
A wrestler who was exposed to radiation and grew to an enormous size. With most of his intelligence and humanity gone, he begin his journey to consume nuclear plants around the world in order to keep powered up. He helps to fight off the alien invasion led by Famardy with his two new found monster friends: Super Geon and Cyber Woo. 

''There used to be a heretic old chemist who continued to conduct biological experiments under the theme of "body capable of withstanding radioactivity". Reportedly, the experiment was in its final stages, with near-successful success, but no one knew about it and no one believed it. In 1995, the old scientist suddenly disappeared, and exactly one year later, the monster "Atomic Guy" appeared. Certainly the face of that monster belonged to an old scientist, and he was capable of withstanding radiation. However, as a monster without intelligence... Instead of enduring radioactivity, he began to breathe favoring it, and after he survived the catastrophe, he destroyed the nuclear power plant one after another. As a result, he became even larger, wearing an armor-like exoskeleton on his entire body, and acquiring various new attacking abilities. Radioactive child "Atomic Guy" was born. However, the intelligence seems to have decreased more and more. SNK Biotechnology Institute Director Macho Tanaka''
