Biography[]
Past[]
Soldierman, just like all five of the Fated Princes, was born on the same day and in the same hospital as Kinnikuman, however, a fire broke out and the mothers of the children all ran in and grabbed their children. This event would be the catalyst for the Five Evil Gods to trick each of the Five Fated Princes into believing that they may potentially be the true Prince of Planet Kinniku.
Soldierman's parents would die at a young age, being killed by soldiers which gave him the motivation to kill as many soldiers as he could. One day, he would find a group of three soldiers injured in a battle, Soldierman would kill two of them before skinning them, after the third said he wished to die after all of the horrors he had seen, Soldierman let him live, only wanting to kill soldiers who want to continue living.
Soldierman would be sent out on a mission, but a stray bullet would hit Soldierman's head almost instantly killing him. Suddenly the God of Brutality appeared before him, saving him from his wounds and entered his body and gave him immense strength, turning him into Kinnikuman Soldier while convincing Soldier that he was the true Prince of Planet Kinniku. Soldier would gather up a team of Heavy Metal, The God Shark, Woolman and Bulldozerman to form Team Soldier.
Kinnikuman[]
Kinnikuman Soldier, alongside the rest of the five of Fated Princes, would reveal themselves at Kinnikuman's coronation and because there was no way to prove any of them weren't the true Prince so they had to battle in a tournament called the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne.
Before the tournament, Team Soldier would go into the mountains to train, however, they would be ambushed by Ataru Kinniku, Kinnikuman's biological older brother who would kill most of them and leave Kinnikuman Soldier for dead. He would be taken to the hospital where he would explain who he was before dying of his wounds.
