A powerful and directed energy beam can then be unleashed from the nuclear reactor core to devastating effect. Fulgore can gradually store power by standing back and charging the exposed core inside of its chest. A new addition to the Type-03 model of Killer Instinct (2013)'' is its nuclear reactor discharge. These include firing concentrated lasers from its eyes, emitting energy bursts from its superheated plasma blades, a reflective barrier, localized teleportation abilities, and some form of cloaking device. Besides advanced hand-to-hand and close combat techniques, impressive athletics, and attacks with its arm-mounted blades, Fulgore also uses a variety of energy-based weaponry. While there have been several different Fulgore designs created by Ultratech, they all carry similar weaponry and fighting styles. first Arcade Mode ending, Shadow Lords cinematic, Killer Instinct Novella). For example, although it not knew why, it has spared Orchid’s life multiple times after bringing her to the brink of death (ex. III's programming, allowing it to think, feel, plan, and even show mercy. In the rebooted universe however, occasionally the soul of Eagle will override the new Mk. It normally shows no signs of emotion or personality whatsoever. With each new upgrades and models, Fulgore quickly evolves into a razor-sharp predator that proves a difficult challenge for anyone standing in Ultratech's way, as shown in KI2 with its one-track objective to kill Jago. Throughout the series, Fulgore is what it is programmed to be: a cold and heartless killing machine that follows orders and directives without question and finishes its opponents with deadly accuracy. The Mark 03 retains the superheated plasma blades featured by the experimental Mark 02 model, but they are noticeably longer & sharper in their design having been specialized for lethal close quarter combat techniques that involve stabbing & impaling a target.įulgore's retro costume largely mirrors the original Mark 01 and Mark 02 models, except that it appears to be lighter in overall weight and shows a wider helmet structure.Ī killing machine that executes each action with perfect efficiency. Its chest plates can open themselves, exposing a miniaturized nuclear reactor core and showing a label which reads "Mark 03". The Mark 03's mass has been unevenly distributed, having thinner legs and a larger chest and arms, which results in an intentional instability in its design that allows for a greater range of burst movements. Its frame however is more mechanical than previous models, with joints, gears, circuitry, wires, and tubes being exposed along its entire body, and each limb is powered by its own internal thruster to greatly increase both mobility and impact force. Its face appears somewhat sleeker, but is mostly identical to its past iterations. In Killer Instinct (2013), Fulgore receives a major design overhaul, appearing as the formidable Mark 03 model. Yellow highlights and designs are also present on its chest plates, and its metallic blades have been infused with superheated plasma.

The Mark 02 mostly retains the original design, though its frame appears more streamlined and less bulky than that of its predecessor with streaks of metallic blue lining the arms, torso and legs.

Fulgore's frame is designed to effectively mimic the natural motions of a humanoid anatomy, and it has random circuitry and electrical tubing showing through its chasis.įulgore received a slight design overhaul in Killer Instinct 2 with the activation of the experimental Mark 02 model.

Its most conspicuous knight-like feature is the orange, plume-like extension protruding from the helmet's back, as seen in many medieval knights' plumed helmets. Its design appears inspired by a fully-armored medieval knight with the head resembling a heaume and its glowing red eyes slanted into a death glare. Fulgore originally appeared in Killer Instinct (1994)as the Mark 01 prototype model.
