| “ | "Fufufu... It's been a long painful path of suffering for 24 years, but I can finally change places with you!" | „ |
| ~ Kinnikuman Super Phoenix to Kinnikuman after seemingly defeating him. |
Kinnikuman Super Phoenix, originally Phoenixman (In Japanese: フェニックスマン), was one of the Five Fated Princes and the main antagonist of the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne Arc of the anime/manga series Kinnikuman.
In the Kinnikuman anime, he was voiced by Michihiro Ikemizu who also voices other Kinnikuman characters such as Robin Mask and the God of Intelligence as well as characters from other anime such as the Black Phoenix from Saint Seiya and Spike from Dragon Ball.
In the Perfect Origin Arc, Kinnikuman Super Phoenix would be voiced by Yuichi Nakamura who also voiced Bruno Bucciarati in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Satoro Goju in Jujutsu Kaisen.
Personality[]
Kinnikuman Super Phoenix is an extremely callous and cruel person, seeing the world as an unfair place where only those who commit the cruellest acts are able. Super Phoenix's is a survivalist who will use any cheap method to win fights and get what he wants, going as far as to plant death traps for Team Kinnikuman, having Mammothman ambush Warsman during his training and even having Mammothman burn Ataru's page of the Muscle Prophecy in order to not only kill him but erase him from history.
Super Phoenix's jealousy of Kinnikuman and his luxurious life is one of his most notable traits with it driving him to become smarter and stronger than he would be normally but it also drove him to be as petty and cruel as possible, especially to those who lack any use to him.
Super Phoenix's intellect is something that as one of his best traits and strongest abilities, with him seeing high intellect as one of the Chojin's best abilities that allowed the Chojin world to even exist and continue to run without issue. Despite his views on intellect, Super Phoenix still thinks brawn is incredibly valuable as well, which is why he values Big Body as high as he does.
After his defeat at the hands of Kinnikuman, he becomes a lot nicer, treating his allies with the respect they deserve and even making amends with them in order to save the world.
However, Super Phoenix is still a jerk, often mocking his opponent and trying to order Big Body around despite the fact they are tag team partners. Most of these jerk moments are done by accident rather than targeted insults.

Enemies[]
Kinnikuman[]
| “ | I had finally become a scholarship student by desperately studying with my poverty and had come to be enrolled in this kindergarten... And yet this man Kinnikuman, in spite of being an idiot and without any hardships just being the prince of Planet Kinniku, was in the same position as me... N... No, he was in a greater position... Starting at that moment, I felt jealous of Kinniku Suguru, the prince of Planet Kinniku whose environment was different as such, even though the day we were born, the time we were born and the hospital we were born were the same... It's from here... that sprouted the rivalry that's been called "abnormal" with you... | „ |
| ~ Kinnikuman Super Phoenix explaining his hatred of Kinnikuman to him |
Almost from the moment he was born, Kinnikuman Super Phoenix had an intense hatred and jealousy for Kinnikuman viewing him as nothing more than a spoiled brat who had everything in life handed to him, this is despite the fact that Kinnikuman was abandoned as a child and had to battle his way across great odds to become the Prince of his planet.
After hearing about Kinnikuman's hard life of being an orphan who was hated for most of his life, Super Phoenix states directly to Kinnikuman's face that it was nothing compared to Super Phoenix's life which was filled with poverty because, in Super Phoenix's mind, Kinnikuman would have been found and made the Prince again.
Super Phoenix wants nothing more than to take the luxurious life that Kinnikuman is going to have when he becomes King and take it for himself, everything that Kinnikuman has and will ever have is something that Super Phoenix personally wishes to steal from him and he will do everything in his power to make sure he does this.
| “ | I suppose I owe that buffoon Kinnikuman a lot more now. | „ |
| ~ Kinnikuman Super Phoenix after learning that his loss helped stop the Omega Centauri's Six Spears plan |
After his loss at Kinnikuman's hands, Super Phoenix started to feel remorseful almost instantly and thought that Kinnikuman is the ideal candidate for Planet Kinniku. When Super Phoenix was given the choice of becoming a high-ranking politician on Planet Kinniku, he turned it down out of respect and remorse.
Bibimba[]
| “ |
Mayumi Kinniku: Pho... Phoenix, how could a person like you do this... Bibimba is a queen candidate for Suguru, the Prince of Planet Kinniku. Super Phoenix: That's not inexcusable. As queen candidate for the Prince of Planet Kinniku, if I take the championship of this survival match and become Great King of Planet Kinniku, then I can say she'll become Phoenix's Queen. |
„ |
| ~ Kinnikuman Super Phoenix stating he'll marry Bibimba after kissing her. |
To Kinnikuman Super Phoenix, he sees Bibimba not as a person but as Kinnikuman's wife, a beautiful woman that is to be married to Kinnikuman.
After Bibimba throws herself from the rafters of the arena to stop Super Phoenix and Kinnikuman from fighting to the death, the only thing Super Phoenix has to say is that he doesn't want to marry her because the fall badly injured her face, calling her ugly before allowing Kinnikuman to have her.
Ataru Kinniku[]
Super Phoenix sees Ataru as nothing more than an obstacle in his way, another person standing in his way of becoming King.
When the Fated Princes go to fight the Omega Centauri's Six Spears, Ataru is left out with Super Phoenix directly stating that he was never one of them to begin with, whether Super Phoenix is holding a grudge from their fight or is speaking on a more logical level about not knowing much about Ataru is unclear.
Omegaman Aristera[]
Super Phoenix knows that Omegaman Aristera is only being used and manipulated by Satan, but seemingly doesn't care with Super Phoenix rather murdering him in cold blood instead of possibly befriending him since he sees the former option as more logical and more likely to succeed.
Choshin[]
Super Phoenix has an immense hatred of the Choshin, viewing them as arrogant and vile gods, even more than the Five Evil Gods. Super Phoenix even went as far as to try and kill some of them himself so he could protect the world and his allies.
Allies[]
Team Super Phoenix[]
Mammothman[]
| “ |
Mammothman: Wh... Why aren't you taking my tag, Phoenix!? Super Phoenix: Why; because the duo of you and Robin Mask will die now together; it's ridiculous to tag a corpse. |
„ |
| ~ Kinnikuman Super Phoenix as he shakes the sides of the ring to kill both Robin Mask and Mammothman |
Kinnikuma Super Phoenix views Mammothman as the strongest member of his team, using him to wipe out all of Team Big Body and using him to attack Warsman while he was training, however, the second that Mammothman seems like he's about to lose, Super Phoenix turns on him, sacrificing Mammothman so they can kill Robin Mask.
After Mammothman dies after attacking Super Phoenix when he betrayed him, Super Phoenix instantly began to hate Mammothman, even going as far to tear up his cape when it was handed to him.
In Kinnikuman (2011), Mammothman is alive again and working as a part of Team Super Phoenix, with Super Phoenix having apologised for his former betrayal and giving him one of his five Capillaria Pieces because of the immense amount of faith he has both in Mammothman as a person but also in his immense strength.
Satan Cross[]
In Kinnikuman (2011), Satan Cross is alive again and working as a part of Team Super Phoenix, with Super Phoenix giving him one of his five Capillaria Pieces because of the immense amount of faith he has both in Satan Cross as a person but also in his immense strength.
Prisman[]
Prisman, being a member of Team Super Phoenix, is regarded highly by Super Phoenix, especially because of the immense power of his Capillaria Rays which can melt any Chojin instantly. When Prisman is almost defeated, Super Phoenix directs him to the safe place of the jungle gym so he'll survive the trap rather than just letting him fall to his death.
Super Phoenix knows that Prisman isn't the most tactical Chojin and gives him orders so he can win rather than letting him lose.
When Super Phoenix gives Prisman the order that leads to his death, he blames himself and not Prisman. Whether he feels genuinely guilty about Prisman dying or is upset that
In Kinnikuman (2011), Prisman is alive again and working as a part of Team Super Phoenix, with Super Phoenix giving him one of his five Capillaria Pieces because of the immense amount of faith he has both in Prisman as a person but also in his immense strength.
Omegaman Deixa[]
| “ | Alright, I gotcha. You're completely right, I did indeed kill him. And yeah, I've always felt a bit guilty about how my rashness cost him his life. But hearing that whole story's made me feel a lot better about killing him. | „ |
| ~ Kinnikuman Super Phoenix after hearing Omegaman Deixa's plan from Omegaman Aristera |
Kinnikuman Super Phoenix recruited Omegaman Deixa into Team Super Phoenix because of his status as a Perfect Chojin, proving that he would be a valuable asset to the team.
Super Phoenix would accidentally kill Omegaman Deixa, something that he would later regret since he essentially killed him for no reason when he burnt Omegaman Deixa's page of the Muscle Prophecy.
This regret would go away when Super Phoenix learned that Omegaman Deixa was a member of the Omega Centauri's Six Spears and that he was using Super Phoenix to kill Neptuneman and get closer to The Man so he could kill him.
God of Intelligence[]
| “ | Then you must be some twisted sicko if you can get along with someone like him! Nothing about that creep thrills me. I'm only associating with him because it helps me. | „ |
| ~ Kinnikuman Super Phoenix about the God of Intelligence |
Kinnikuman Super Phoenix sees the God of Intelligence as his ticket to becoming the Prince and a sign that all of his hard work wasn't in vain.
After Super Phoenix learns that the God of Intelligence was just using him, he doesn't trust him and even refuses to get the immense power boost from him, however, he does
Five Fated Princes[]
Due to the circumstance they find themselves in where they are all working together to beat Kinnikuman but working against each other to become the next Prince of Planet Kinniku, Super Phoenix sees each of the Fated Princes as rivals to be beaten, however, he doesn't hold them in the same level of contempt that he does for Kinnikuman.
Super Phoenix has a level of respect for each of the other Fated Princes, seeing them as people highly capable of battling anyone and even seeing them as comparable to him.
Kinnikuman Big Body[]
| “ | Hmph... All you are is a clod with more brawn than brains. But that brawn can have its uses. I need your help with fighting the Choshin. And you can help me... By becoming my tag partner! | „ |
| ~ Kinnikuman Super Phoenix asking Big Body to become his partner |
Super Phoenix, despite effortlessly beating Big Body in their fight, personally views him as immensely strong and a valuable ally, even going as far to give Big Body one of the Capillaria Pieces he had on him and being his tag team partner.
Family[]
Taro & Shizuko Phoenix[]
Despite Kinnikuman Super Phoenix's general callous nature towards everyone around, he has a genuine love for his parents and spent most of his life working hard to support them, even giving up his chance to become the Prince of Planet Kinniku after hearing that his father had died in an accident at work.
Biography[]
Past[]
Phoenixman, 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.
Phoenixman would live in poverty with his loving parents and was taught to work hard and become intelligent so he could live a good life, however, at a young age, he would meet Kinnikuman, someone who he saw as an idiot who was born into a luxurious life that he didn't have to work for. This enraged Phoenixman and would be the driving force for him to train so that he could better his life.
When the Royal Family decided to make a tournament to determine who would become the next Prince of Planet Kinniku, Phoenixman would enter the competition, however, he would be forced to forfeit after hearing the news that his father had died after he fell from the roof of a building at a construction site. The next day, Kinnikuman would be found.
While his mother was ill, she would tell him as a joke that he was the true prince of planet Kinniku because of how smart he was when compared to her and her husband, however, Phoenixman took it completely seriously, which would make him easy to prey on later in his life.
Kinnikuman[]
One day, the God of Intelligence appeared before him and entered his body and gave him immense strength, turning him into Kinnikuman Super Phoenix while convincing Super Phoenix that he was the true Prince of Planet Kinniku. Super Phoenix would gather up a team of Satan Cross, Mammothman, Prisman and Omegaman Dexia to form Team Super Phoenix.
Kinnikuman Super Phoenix, alongside the rest of the Five 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.
During the first round, Team Super Phoenix would be forced to fight against Team Big Body, however, all of Team Big Body aside from Kinnikuman Big Body himself would be easily defeated by Mammothman who pretended to be knocked out so Super Phoenix could fight Big Body. Kinnikuman Big Body would then fight against Kinnikuman Super Phoenix but he was effortlessly defeated by him by using the Muscle Revenger, one of the Three Great Secret techniques passed down the Kinniku Royal Bloodline, eliminating him from the tournament while also showing off his technique and the fact that he could perform the Muscle Revenger.
During the second round, Team Super Phoenix would be forced to fight against Team Soldier in a three-vs-three tag match on a floating wrestling ring with multiple rings on each side where, in order to win, one team had to remove the bandana from the leader of the other team. Super Phoenix would fight against who he thought was Kinnikuman Soldier but not before revealing that the tag match was a lie and it was actually a standard three-vs-three match.
Super Phoenix would go on the assault, beating up Soldier and almost removing the bandana, however, Buffaloman shook the ring to stop him from doing so. Super Phoenix would keep trying to beat Soldier, however, in one of the other rings, Brocken Jr. would grab Prisman and try to blast Soldier with his Capillaria Ray, almost hitting and killing Super Phoenix but he managed to dodge in time.
Super Phoenix would put Solider in a chokehold but Brocken Jr. would leap through the hole created by the Capillaria Ray and attack Super Phoenix before pulling Soldier back through the hole, however, Prisman and Mammothman cut off the tunnel by forcing it close before Soldier could make it to the other side.
After Prisman pinned Brocken Jr. and Buffaloman, Super Phoenix called him over to use his Capillaria Ray on Soldier to kill him, however, Brocken Jr. blocked it before suplexing Prisman off the side, knocking out Prisman but causing Brocken Jr. to fall into a chasm, killing him.
Soldier grabbed Super Phoenix and started suplexing him repeatedly around the ring and when Mammothman tried to use a post to stop him, Soldier used the Face Flash to melt it. Super Phoenix escaped from Soldier's grasp and left Mammothman to finish him and Buffaloman off.
Buffaloman, with help from Soldier's advice and friendship, managed to beat down Mammothman, making Super Phoenix begin to question whether or not Soldier was the real Soldier, soon the Gods of Flight, Technique and Strength would appear, telling Super Phoenix that the real Kinnikuman Soldier was dead and that he's fighting an imposter.
Enraged, Super Phoenix left into the ring to fight the fake Soldier who quickly grabbed Super Phoenix and used his Naplam Stretch on him but before he could be slammed into the ground, Mammothman tore out a piece of the mat and waved it back and forth like a fan, giving Super Phoenix the chance to escape the hold and Mammothman charged at the fake Soldier, knocking him to the ground and scaring his chest.
Super Phoenix would then be helped by the Gods of Flight, Technique, Strength and Brutality, agreeing that Super Phoenix was the only member of the Five Fated Princes left. The God of Brutality would grab the fake Soldier's page from the Muscle Prophecy and handed it to Mammothman so he could reveal who the fake Soldier was, however, Buffaloman grabbed the page and tackled Mammothman off the side of the ring.
Super Phoenix would order Mammothman to get the page back, even telling him to die trying if he must, however, Soldier told Buffaloman that it was fine to let it go which he did, Mammothman rushed to get it but Buffaloman used the opportunity to piledriver him to the ground.
The Evil Gods spoke to Super Phoenix, saying that they will help him because if he loses then Kinnikuman or the fake Soldier will win. They reel down a rope which Super Phoenix grabs onto as the Gods break the engine of the floating ring, making it crash to the ground and the castle where Kinnikuman and a crowd of 30,000 people are watching from. Before it could hit the castle, Buffaloman catches it and tells everyone about how his clan was destroyed by a tournament similar to the one they are in where each heir cheated and murdered each other until only Buffaloman was left, so Buffaloman ordered everyone to fight fair with Super Phoenix agreeing in a snarky tone. Buffaloman then threw the ring into the air and spun it around, knocking the Evil Gods out of the engine and restarting it before falling off of a cliff.
Now the match was just between the Super Phoenix and the fake Soldier who was spurred on by all of his allies' sacrifices and started beating on Super Phoenix, using Ashuraman, The Ninja, Brocken Jr. and Buffaloman's best moves. Just when Super Phoenix is about to strike Soldier, The Ninja's bandana flew up and blinded him soon followed by Ashuraman's apron slashing Super Phoenix's stomach and Brocken Jr.'s jacket shielding Soldier, giving Soldier the chance to finish Super Phoenix off.
Just as he was about to do so, a statue from the castle was thrown up, hitting Soldier and revealing that Mammothman was still alive and that he grabbed Soldier's page from the Muscle Prophecy, Super Phoenix ordered him to read it but Soldier was holding Super Phoenix hostage. In frustration, Mammothman twisted Soldier's page which also twisted Soldier's body, once Super Phoenix heard this, he ordered Mammothman to throw the page into the fires nearby, the second the page started to burn, Soldier's legs started to fade out of existence.
Being unable to move his legs made Soldier an easy target for Super Phoenix who started beating on him before tying him up with the ropes of the ring to torture Soldier into telling him who he was. Soldier, his real name is revealed to be Ataru Kinniku, Kinnikuman's older brother was fine with this, letting himself die for not helping Kinnikuman as his older brother until the King and Queen of Planet Kinniku spoke up, saying that they weren't angry and Ataru for running away.
This caused Ataru to use the last of his strength to attack Super Phoenix with his incomplete version of the Muscle Spark, one of the Three Great Secret techniques passed down the Kinniku Royal Bloodline so that Kinnikuman could combine it with his half and use it to defeat Super Phoenix. Super Phoenix wouldn't be defeated by this move and broke free as Ataru's arms and legs faded away before using his Muscle Revenger on Ataru, killing him with his body fading away shortly afterwards.
Before Team Super Phoenix and Team Kinnikuman fought, there was a break where Team Kinnikuman spent their time training and Team Super Phoenix was spying on them, seeing how they intend to counter them and also see Kinnikuman learning how to use the Muscle Spark, just as Kinnikuman used the Muscle Spark, there was a hardware malfunction which prevented Super Phoenix from seeing if Kinnikuman had actually mastered it or not.
Super Phoenix and his team made their introduction to the final round by leaping out of a helicopter with parachutes, much to the annoyance of Kinnikuman. The two teams approached the door and showed off the blood of the fallen Fated Princes with Super Phoenix holding a jar of blood belonging to Big Body and Soldier and Kinnikuman holding a cape that is soaked in the blood of Zebra and Mariposa. In the first round of the match between Team Super Phoenix and Team Kinnikuman where Kinnikuman and Satan Cross fought each other, much to the annoyance of Super Phoenix who thought that Kinnikuman was trying to avoid fighting him.
During the battle between Kinnikuman and Satan Cross, Super Phoenix would be the one activating the panels in the ring for Satan Cross and activating a spike trap that would impale Kinnikuman when he fell out of the ring. In the end, Satan Cross would lose the fight and Super Phoenix and the other members of his team would ride their chairs to the next ring while Team Kinnikuman had to travel through a maze that Super Phoenix set up in advance to make them late to the match, making his team the winner by default, however, they made it past the maze and its traps making it to the arena where Prisman would fight against Ramenman on a massive jungle gym with spikes at the bottom.
During Prisman and Ramenman's fight, Super Phoenix would advise Prisman who would repeatedly beg Super Phoenix to tell him what to do whenever he was confused about what to do next. When Prisman was seemingly defeated, Super Phoenix would order Prisman to move to a specific part of the jungle gym, once he did, Super Phoenix would activate a trap that would make the entire area fall apart aside from where Prisman was, making Ramenman fall down to the spikes which stabbed his body. Wanting to make sure Ramenman was dead, Super Phoenix would order Prisman to leap down and slam his large body on top of Ramenman, impaling the spikes through his body, however, this was Ramenman's plan as he leapt up and slammed Prisman down the ground, shattering his body into pieces, much to Super Phoenix's annoyance.
Super Phoenix blames himself for Prisman's death before coughing up blood because of his inherent heart illness he has and at the same time so does Kinnikuman.
Super Phoenix would watch the next round between Omegaman Dexia and Geronimo. After Omegaman won, Super Phoenix started coughing up blood again as Mammothman informed him that there were intruders on the floor above them. Super Phoenix and Mammothman would ride up and catch Bibimba, Meat and the King and Queen of Planet Kinniku.
Super Phoenix would kiss Bibimba, using her as leverage to make Kinnikuman and Robin Mask fight in a two VS three fight against Super Phoenix, Mammothman and Omegaman Dexia. Kinnikuman would agree and they would all travel up to the next floor where Super Phoenix would hang the Muscle Prophecy pages of every participant of the fight to a string above a fire so that the losers would be erased from history after losing.
As a demonstration of the Muscle Prophecy, Super Phoenix would order Mammothman to drop a page into it, causing Geronimo's body to be erased.
Kinnikuman (2011)[]
After his loss at the hands of Kinnikuman, Phoenixman was offered the chance to work alongside Kinnikuman to run planet Kinniku but he refused and ran away.
Once the Omega Centauri's Six Spears appeared, the God of Intelligence would appear before Phoenixman, informing him of the upcoming threat of the Choshin and turning him back into Kinnikuman Super Phoenix. Super Phoenix would appear before the other Fated Princes, barring Soldier, and claim their masks from the Chojin Museum before teleporting over to the Omega Centauri's Six Spears.
Omegaman Aristera would create a storm with holes that have ropes hanging from them, telling the Fated Princes and Kinnikuman to climb up them to fight against the remaining five members of the Six Spears. All of them do so, each one of them being set to fight a different member of the Six Spears with Kinnikuman Super Phoenix fighting against Omegaman Aristera himself.
After the Omega Centauri's Six Spears were defeated and the Choshin invaded, Super Phoenix made an agreement with the other Fated Princes and Five Evil Gods that he would be given all five of the Capillaria Pieces and he would give three of them to the revived members of Team Super Phoenix such as Prisman, Satan Cross and Mammothman and Super Phoenix would keep two pieces for himself.
Once Kinnikuman Big Body and Team Big Body went off to fight the Choshin and were defeated by Rampageman who started to torture Leopardon to get Big Body to tell the Choshin where the five Capillaria Pieces are, Super Phoenix would broadcast to Rampageman and told him that he would tell the Choshin where the five Capillaria Pieces are if he spared Team Big Body. Ramepageman agreed and Super Phoenix told him that the Five Capillaria Pieces were being held by each member of Team Super Phoenix and the Choshin rushed off to fight them.
Big Body thanked Super Phoenix for saving him and his men but Super Phoenix revealed that he didn't just save Team Big Body because he was nice, but he did it so Super Phoenix could give Big Body one of the two Capillaria Pieces that Super Phoenix was holding and so the two could form a tag team to battle the Choshin together. Both of them rushed to the Roman Colosseum where they would face to face with two Choshin, Ideaman and The Notorious who they would face in a tag team match.
