The Polygon Man is the original mascot for the PlayStation brand and the main antagonist and final boss of the 2012 fighting game PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
Biography[]
Background[]
Polygon Man was the original mascot for the PlayStation brand, appearing in print ads for the original PlayStation console. However, after a showing at E3 1995, the concept was rejected by PlayStation creator Ken Kutaragi. Polygon Man serves as the final boss for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. It appears that in his years of seclusion, he had eventually become an all-powerful being. Throughout some character's stories, it is revealed that he is responsible for bringing everybody together. During the fight, Polygon Man will float in the background, constantly taunting the player while purple-colored fighters, or "Polygonal All-Stars", fight the current player. He also transforms himself into the many stage hazards of the game, such as Hades and the Goliath, to attack the stage. After the current minions are dispatched, Polygon Man crashes into the main stage opening himself up for attack. If the player lands a successful series of blows, Polygon Man will return to the background with part of his face missing. If the player wastes their opportunity, the last batch of minions will be respawned.
Powers and Abilities[]
Polygon Man can create Polygonal All-Stars and control them in battle, he can also ram himself onto the stage. He can also transform into The Hydra, Hades, Iron Maiden, Krimzon Guard Tanks, the Goliath Mech, Negativitron, The Satan, Chimera, and the Patapons to use their abilities. Polygon Man has some control and abilities relating to lasers, plasma and barriers.

Trivia[]
- PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is Polygon Man's first-ever appearance in a game.
- Polygon Man's introduction quotes are taken directly from the print advertisements that first featured him.
- Polygon Man can be damaged by Super Moves, although it's highly unlikely to have a super after defeating his minions.
- The minions that Polygon Man summons could possibly be past characters that failed to defeat Polygon Man. This has been rumored due to the fact that Polygon Man turns your character into a minion if you lose all of your lives.
- If his minions aren't defeated by the time he is finished using his Hades form, he may spin around and swing his Claws of Hades in a way similar to a cowboy swinging his rope before transforming back to normal.
