Biography[]
Past[]
Most of Marlinman's past is unknown. What is known is that at some point he travelled to Mount Saint Parfait where he impressed Mirageman to the point he was turned into a Perfect Chojin and he would work his way up the ranks until he became a member of the Perfect Large Numbers.
Kinnikuman (2011)[]
Marlinman joined a portion of the Perfect Large Numbers led by Strong the Budo on their assault on the Justice Chojin, wanting to start a war so they could personally subjugate them because of their unexpected power.
After Max Radial was defeated, Marlinman and the rest of the first corp of the Perfect Large Numbers would spread across the globe, waiting to fight the best of the Justice Chojin with Marlinman waiting at the River Thames for Robin Mask but instead he would soon come face-to-face with the Devil Chojin Atlantis.
Atlantis puts Marlinman into a hold and repeatedly knees his head and get him into a hold but Marlinman would use the spinning blades on his neck to cut Atlantis' arm before getting him into a hold, something Atlantis would reverse by using Mt. Saint Helens Eruption to make the blood in Marlinman's head burst out of his forehead.
Marlinman would escape and use his sharp marlin spike to stab and slash Atlantis repeatedly so Atlantis would use his Atlantis Mist to avoid the barrage of attacks and to land a counter-attack on Marlinman. Atlantis would try this again but Marlinman would see through it, learning how Atlantis fights and predicting where he would try to hide.
Atlantis would use his Water Magnum to shoot Marlinman but Marlinman would counter by spitting out his bladder to block it. Marlinman would dive underwater and drag Atlantis down with him. Marlinman would beat on Atlantis before mocking Robin Mask, Atlantis would become furious, not wanting anyone to mock a battle he had against a strong opponent.
This anger made Atlantis start to take advantage, slamming Marlinman into the bottom of the river. Marlinman would try to stab Atlantis' neck, however, it wouldn't stab into it because of how durable it was, allowing Atlantis to kick Marlinman away and cut his neck.
Atlantis was starting to run out of stamina with Marlinman ready to stab him in the back but a boy watching the fight would warn Atlantis, the bubbles carrying his voice down to him, giving him the warning to leap over the attack. Atlantis would grab Marlinman and tried to slam him to the river bed in the same move that killed Robin Mask but Marlinman turned his sharp marlin spike into a drill to negate the attack before reversing it to slam Atlantis into the ground.
Marlinman would use the opportunity to stab Atlantis through his chest, impaling him and raising him up to the surface, unveiling what appeared to be Atlantis' dead body to the crowd nearby but the cheers of the crowd would make Atlantis wake up, letting him get off of his marlin spike but Marlinman would just stab him again.
Atlantis would use this to pull Marlinman back into the water where Atlantis would pull Marlinman out, explaining to him that the Devil Chojin had a power that the Perfect Chojin lacked before using Robin Mask's Tower Bridge on him, breaking Marlinman's neck before rising to the surface, however, Atlantis would die of his injuries shortly afterwards.
