Walken
Walken est un assassin amérindien (de la tribu Skookum) qui travaille pour le compte de la Dress. Il est doué de pouvoirs psychiques formidable, étant capable de faire vibrer les atomes par la pensée.
Apparence
Walken est un Amérindien grand et costaud, avec de longs cheveux noirs en bataille. Il arbore constamment un air sévère et colérique sur son visage, renforcé par ses sourcils épais et hérissés ainsi que ses dents pointues. Walken a un simple pantalon, mais porte une veste en peau qui exposent sa poitrine, son estomac et ses bras très muscles. Il porte des protège-bras.
Il porte un casque spécial qui inhibe son pouvoir psychique.[1] Dans l'OAV, il porte à la place un bandana.
Personnalité
En tant que membre de la tribu Skookum, il a été élevé en tant que guerrier et pense qu'il doit chercher des adversaires dignes de ce nom. Il voit Baoh comme étant un défi à sa taille et le traite comme tel, respectant et admirant sa puissance. S'il reconnaît que son adversaire est un vrai guerrier, il grave une marque sur sa poitrine avec son doigt pour l'indiquer. La marque de sang symbolise le respect, la courtoisie et la mort, envers son adversaire au combat. En tant qu'agent volontaire de la Dress, Walken est également impitoyable et n'hésite pas à exécuter de façon cruelle et violente l'assassin Dordo pour ses échecs, en faisant vibrer chaque molécule du corps du cyborg pour le désintégrer.
Lorsque sa pleine puissance est libérée, il devient extrêmement violent, tuant tous ceux qui sont sur son chemin et ne cherche qu'à se venger d'Ikuro.
Pouvoirs et compétences
Walken is recognized as the most powerful psychic on Earth. His psychic powers are so massive that they allow him to manipulate matter at the molecular level and also on a large scale. He possesses the following psychic abilities.
Walken can manipulate matter with his mind and use it to liquefy and disintegrate matter by vibrating molecules. He thus possesses a powerful defensive technique against projectiles he can see coming but also a powerful offensive technique allowing him to mold anything he touches at will.
Walken creates a sphere of vibrating air molecules and throws it at his opponent to disintegrate them.
Walken liquefies the ground beneath him to trap his opponent. He can also do this with walls. This powerful ability allowed him to smash through solid bedrock leading to an underground cavern.
Walken can foresee the location of any person, which he can use to locate enemies of Dress.
Walken also possesses athletic abilities beyond the range of normal human beings. He was able to withstand a current of 60,000 volts from Baoh's Break Dark Thunder and also live through one of Baoh's arm blades planting itself in his skull.
Histoire
Passé
Walken est un Améridient, et le dernier membre de la tribu des Skookum. Ainsi, il a été élevé en tant que guerrier. Il entre au service de l'Organisation Dress à un moment inconnu.[1]
Baoh le Visiteur
Walken tells Dr. Kasuminome that he would like to fight Baoh.[2] He later appears with Kasuminome to meet a terrified Sumire who can sense his power. He demonstrates his abilities by boiling a cup of coffee by merely holding the cup.[3] When Dordo is taken back to the Dress organization's laboratory, he is executed by Walken for his failure and is atomized into dust. Baoh eventually arrives at the laboratory and fights his way inside until Walken appears. Walken scars himself to pay his respect to a powerful fighter, and attacks. He sends a ball of destructive energy at Baoh, who narrowly avoids it and tries to shoot with his hair needles. However, Walken atomizes the needles with his powers. He starts boiling the floor and Baoh tries to escape through a hole in the wall that Walken created. However, Walken makes the wall boil and closes the hole on Baoh's arm. Baoh uses his Break Dark Thunder technique to shock Walken. Despite being immobilized, he withstands the electrocution. Nonetheless, Baoh manages to pierce Walken's brain by launching one of his arm blades and Walken collapses.
Walken eventually wakes up, still alive despite his injury, and seeks Baoh for revenge. As the headgear restricting his psychic powers was destroyed by Baoh's attack, the full strength of Walken's abilities causes an earthquake inside the facility. Walken rampages through the laboratory, killing several scientists. Walken eventually finds Ikuro and Sumire, blasting through 31 steel shutters to reach them, and then destroys the floor. All of them, as well as Dr. Kasuminome who tried to escape in a pod, find themselves in a cavern. Baoh uses a laser cannon to kill Walken for good, unintentionally fatally wounding Kasuminome in the process. The facility then self destructs, causing the cavern to collapse.[1]
