Appears with style suddenly from nowhere — sometimes to assist the Wonderful 100, sometimes to fight the invaders alone. After saving the day, he disappears as quickly as he came. Wearing a crimson battle suit and fighting while making stylish poses, the masked warrior has unofficially earned the nickname "Poseman." Despite this nickname, why he fights and his true identity are both still unknown. After deep-cover CENTINELS intelligence agents researched his background, they were only able to find that his name is Hayato, he's looking for someone named Akane, and he's probably not an enemy of mankind.
Having combat capabilities equal to that of a Wonderful One, "Poseman" has been acknowledged by the Wonderful 100 for his ability to take care of large numbers of the invaders.
Weapon: Brave Knuckle Draw a Unite Hand sign to Unite Morph. It is fire-elemental by default.
Special Ability: Press the Jump button immediately before falling down to execute "Heroic Forever," a special move that damages surrounding enemies.
Description[]
Poseman is a masked hero with combat abilities equal to that of a Wonderful One.
Poseman wears a crimson red battle suit known as a Tyranno-Suit. The Tyranno-Suit consists of red pants with a white stripe down the outer side of each leg and a white belt with a gold buckle, white boots, and a large set of chest armor on his upper body. The top part of the chest armor around the neck is white, and on the front of his chest is a golden trident-shaped emblem. The suit also includes a large crimson red helmet with a black visor, concealing every facial feature excepting his mouth. At the front of the helmet is a metal "P" emblem with two golden antennas coming out of its top. Poseman also wears a red bandanna tied around his neck.
Poseman's weapons are the Brave Knuckles, a pair of gauntlets matching the rest of his suit's design that consist of large cylindrical arm guards and black gloves.
Poseman's Suit possesses an alternate form known as Strike Mode, which the game treats as an analog to a CENTINEL-Suit's Unlimited Form. In Strike Mode, Poseman's helmet covers his mouth in metal armor.
When unmasked, Poseman reverts to what appears to be civilian clothing. This outfits consists of white boots, black leather pants, a brown leather jacket with its collars popped, fingerless gloves, and his red scarf. His jet back hair is slicked back with the exception of a single loose lock of hair over his forehead, he has thick pointed eyebrows, and he has dark eyes.
Gameplay[]
Poseman is a Unite Hand user with a special ability: Poseman's Unite Hand is lit on fire by default, in the same way normal Unite Hands or Unite Drills are any time your Combo multiplier reaches ×2.50.
Strike a pose that's just too cool, and damage all the enemies on the screen. A killer technique.
Poseman also has a Special Ability, Heroic Forever: Poseman possesses the innate ability to execute the Ukemi technique even without the Custom Block equipped, and upon landing after an Ukemi he strikes a cool pose that deals small amounts of damage to any enemy on screen.
Though Poseman's real name is listed as unknown in his profile, it is revealed to be Hayato in his Wonderful File.
Poseman is, in general, an homage to the Japanese Tokusatsu Superhero genre, in particular the Red Rangers of Super Sentai (and its westernized version, Power Rangers) as well as the Kamen Rider series.
Poseman's unmasked design is based on the appearances of Takeshi Hongo and Hayato Ichimonji, the original Kamen Riders, with the latter being the origin of Poseman's real name.
Poseman is also a blatant stand-in for the character Viewtiful Joe from the Viewtiful Joe series, a series of Tokusatsu-inspired video games created by Hideki Kamiya, which is commonly regarded as a spiritual predecessor to The Wonderful 101. As such, Poseman features several references to Viewtiful Joe:
The design of Poseman's Tyranno-Suit strongly resembles Joe's Henshin design.
The name Poseman appears to originate from the American box art of the first Viewtiful Joe, where a building with an ad reading "POSEMAN" can be seen (pictured on the right.)
Poseman's unique pose when he performs a Taunt is Joe's boss battle transformation pose.
Poseman's innate ability to execute the Ukemi technique even without the Custom Block equipped is a reference to the fact that the Ukemi technique itself originates from the Viewtiful Joe series. Likewise, his Heroic Forever technique is a reference to the Viewtiful Forever ability, also from the Viewtiful Joe series.
The tagline of Poseman's profile, "Go for it!", is a reference to Silvia's "Just go for it!" line in the Viewtiful Joe series, which is heard at the start of each level and combat section.
Poseman's taunt, "Let's Rock!", is a reference to Joe's "Let's rock, baby, yeah!" quote from Viewtiful Joe 1.
Poseman has the same voice actors (Charlie Schlatter and Ryohei Kimura) as Wonder-Red and his father, Arthur Wedgewood. Apart from Poseman's unique Taunt, all three characters use the same voice lines in combat.
When Poseman increases in Rank, as part of his level up animation, he has the unique behavior of shouting his Taunt (this does not have the actual effect of taunting.)
Unite Hand, as well as possessing another special ability.
