Biography[]
Kinnikuman[]
Heavy Metal is a Brutal Chojin from the Netherlands who was contacted by the God of Brutality and ordered to work alongside Kinnikuman Soldier with the two meeting in a music shop. Heavy Metal requested to join but Kinnikuman Solider would only accept him if he beat the Chojin Tail Lamp who was in the store with them. Heavy Metal effortlessly beat down Tail Lamp, almost killing him in the process.
Heavy Metal would work alongside Kinnikuman Soldier, helping him recruit the other members of Team Solider like The God Shark, Woolman and Bulldozerman.
Heavy Metal alongside Team Soldier would appear at the sign-ups for the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne, once signed up they would travel to the mountains to train.
While in the mountains, the team would be challenged by a mysterious man who was Ataru Kinniku, the biological brother of Kinnikuman. They accepted and were all quickly beaten and killed by him, all of Team Soldier aside from Kinnikuman Soldier himself dying of their injuries in the mountains, their bodies being taken to the nearest hospital by someone who found them.
Heavy Metal wouldn't be revived either by himself or by one of the Five Evil Gods.
