Character Description: Rock
In Rock's childhood, he was kidnapped by a science facility. The lab taught children ESP in an effort to overthrow the government. However, he escaped from the labs when he was twelve years old.
Later in life, Rock worked for Dr. Saruta, and gained control of the shape-shifting girl Tamami. He ended up falling in love with her, so he became crueler and more demanding of Tamami in an attempt to hide his feelings.
After she died, Rock was sucked unto another dimension where he met the Phoenix, the guardian of time and earth. Rock became interested in capturing it and learning the secrets of the universe, but later failed.
Note: An older, less-effeminate version of Rock appears in the anime movie "Metropolis".
