Lordgenome



=Story=

Lord Genome, or the Spiral King, is the main villain of the first half of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. He was once a spiral warrior and fought for freedom of the human race, until the Anti-Spiral revealed to him the Spiral Nemesis, the belief that one day, if Spiral beings (anything that can evolve) became too numerous that they would destroy the entire universe. Lord Genome struck a deal with them, as long as he kept the population of humans living on the surface under 1,000,000 then the Anti-Spiral wouldn't attack him anymore. Lord Genome forced mankind underground, and created non-spiral beings, called beastmen. These beastmen would ride in Gunmen, mechs basically, and kill any human that reached the surface.

=Powers=

Although he had effectively allied with the Anti-Spiral, he still used his own spiral powers, and they made him both incredibly strong, and immortal, he has been alive for at least 100 years by the time the series starts. Spiral energy can be used as a power source.

=Downfall=

Though he was powerful, he was no match for the sheer will of the story's hero Simon, who kills him via drill through the chest. Before he falls to his death he hints to Simon about what will happen if the population goes to high, though Simon never gets it. Seven years latter, Rossiu had recreated his head so they could have access to all of his knowledge. In the end, Lord Genome fights for the Spirals once more, and turns is body into a giant drill for Simon and company to use.
