Running Speed: 310 MPH
Swimming Speed: 500 Knots

Powers:
- Elec-Trigger: Red Baron can channel electrical current into the sides of its head and launch it as a form of twin electrical beams of over a billion volts each. The sheer amount of electricity used in the Elec-Trigger is enough to make most opponents explode on contact.
- Baron Beam: Red Baron can fire a green, missile-strength beam of energy from its neck.
- Spiral Beam: When needed, Red Baron can fire a red spiral beam from his forehead. This beam is capable of instantly penetrating any energy barrier and removing it from an opponent’s arsenal.

- Baron Full Power: If Red Baron starts to run low on fuel, it can activate its Baron Full Power mode, virtually using up all of its power reserve. This full power mode increases the strength of Red Baron’s weapons, but if it remains in this mode for more than a minute, Red Baron will explode.

History: It was made to be the most powerful and advanced robot in history. Constructed by the brilliant Dr. Kurenai, Red Baron was also looked at as the perfect weapon for the ruthless Iron Alliance. This organization looked to capture and command the world’s robots for their own personal gain, but the brilliant mind refused them. In his last dying act, he gave the machine to his younger brother Ken. Ken implanted his fingerprints and voice into the Red Baron’s controls so that only he could pilot it, and with his brother watching on, he endured his first battle against the ruthless organization. Soon the battle would be won, but his brother killed.

As Ken and the Secret Science Investigation team lead a campaign against the Iron Alliance, more and more robots would be thrown against the young man and powerful robot, but none could ever topple it. Billions, if not trillions, of dollars worth of machinery were destroyed, and the higherups in the alliance were growing more and more annoyed with every lose.

Soon a being by the name of Angel Killer arrived with the space robot Sky Shark. Sky Shark was a machine unlike that of any other an had a weapon, acid-fire, that could effortlessly eat away at the Baronium armor! In their first encounter, Red Baron was forced to retreat with heavy damage, but would soon return with a newly created, more advanced arm. Ken destroyed the Sky Shark and killed Angel Killer, but Dr. Deviler, head of the Iron Alliance, would unveil a new threat during its repairs.

As Red Baron underwent a process that would upgrade seven key parts and gift it with even more firepower, the machine known as King Deviler assaulted the base. Red Baron couldn’t compete with it yet and was forced to retreat as a decoy was launched to distract the King Deviler. The twisted machine destroyed nothing but a fake Red Baron, allowing the SSI and the brilliant minds of the project to fully upgrade Red Baron into an even more powerful hero!

History: After the death of the evil Dr. Deviler, Red Baron underwent a series of drastic upgrades. With the Space Iron Alliance announcing its arrival, more powerful robots than ever before witnessed began to arrive. In order to answer the call, Red Baron had to up its power levels and arsenal! It was gifted with a pair of gigantic wings that could attach to its back and allow for space flight! A new rocket system, the drill missiles, were devised, and eventually the almighty rainbow shot, but even with these enhancements, Ken and the SSI would still have problems with the space automatons cast forth from the alliance.

But through the numerous battles, Ken managed to stay victorious with the aid of his allies. As the alliance grew more desperate, their plans grew even more sinister, turning Ken’s oldest friends against him. Dr. Yoshimura, a long time friend of Ken and his brother, was enlisted into the alliance out of sheer jealousy. When this plan failed, the alliance turned to the evil Dracuman. The space demon tried to turn all of humanity into vampires and also infiltrated the SSI under the disguise of an infiltrated member of the SSI. Eventually this plan was also foiled and Dracuman destroyed.

The Iron Alliance was starting to grow desperate as victory loomed on the horizon for humanity!

Using Ken’s own father, whom everyone believed to be dead, the alliance lured Ken and the Red Baron to Mars where it was eventually trapped after the space wings were destroyed by Deimos Z. Dr. Kurenai hoped his son would join him by his side, but Ken refused. After Ken learned of a wicked plan to launch the Martian moon of Phobos at the Earth, Ken was ordered to be executed, but the master computer, Gillas Q, interfered. With the Iron Alliance wanting to control all of the universe, Ken’s skills at the controls of Red Baron would be a major advantage for their conquest.

While the rest of the SSI were trapped inside the rocket strapped to Phobos, Ken managed to injure his father and destroy Gillas Q! With the computer destroyed, Dr. Kurenai was gifted with his humanity once more, but revealed a new Gillas Q would activate in just five minutes! As Ken’s father retrieved the space bus, Ken fought and defeated Deimos Z for the final time. With the space bus attached to his back, Red Baron flew into space to intercept Phobos before it collided with Earth!

The second Gillas Q activated, demanding Dr. Kurenai to fulfill his mission, but the scientist struggled against its command. As the program begged for mercy, Phobos was turned around and launched back at Mars! The Iron Alliance was completely destroyed in the resulting blast as the entire planet was engulfed in a fireball! The war against the Iron Alliance was finally over and humanity walked away the victor. As peace settled across the globe and Dr. Kurenai died a redeemed man, Ken and the Red Baron watched over the Earth, waiting for any challengers that dared to attack the Earth and mankind.
