Atlas (アトラス Atorasu?) is a Final Fight series character who first appeared in the Capcom game Final Fight 2. He and his palette swap Jony are some of the minor enemy characters the player characters face.

Appearance[]

Atlas is a large, barrel-chested thug who wears dark brown boots and fingerless gloves, knee pads, and a necklace made of animal teeth and/or claws. He does not wear a shirt, revealing scars on his arms and chest. Atlas has light skin, short hair, and a mustache.

Personality[]

Atlas has a rowdy personality that makes everyone fear him. He is a troubled man that drinks from the morning and immediately gives hugs.[1]

Backstory[]

Atlas was a promising athlete in his youth, as he was able to go to college on a football scholarship. Sometime after this, he soon gained interest in combat sports, and took up learning wrestling and sambo. Unfortunately, his career was put to a screeching halt after being in a traffic accident and sustaining injuries that left him unable to participate in competitions. Unable to cope and at a loss of pride, he soon spiraled into a degenerate lifestyle of alcoholism and violence,[1] which lead him to joining the Mad Gear Gang.

Fighting style[]

Atlas is slow-moving powerhouse who can take a lot of damage before going down. Using his trained body as a weapon, he fights with palm strikes, shoves, and grabs, and is also capable of blocking attacks.

Trivia[]

  • The character's name and impressive physique derive from the mythologic Atlas, a Titan who was condemned to literally carry the entire world on his shoulders.
  • His backstory is evocative of actor Donald Gibb, who co-starred in the influential 1988 Jean Claude Van Damme martial arts action movie Bloodsport; Gibb was a proficient athlete in both basketball and American football and was able to attend college on athletic scholarships, before a car accident left him sustaining injuries and lead him to pursue acting.
