GENERAL/STORY:
Armor King travels from one wrestling ring to another, searching for a worthy challenger. The original Armor King watched with interest at King's attempt to win the first tournament in need of money for his orphanage. Although King did not win the tournament, he won third place, giving him enough money to build his orphanage. 

Soon after a child dies in his care, King ran away, choosing the path of the drunkard. Armor King saw a total change in his old rival as King no longer entered any wrestling tournaments and disappeared for long periods of time. Armor King became worried about his friend/rival and intervened just in time, as King was at the edge of a breakdown. Finding King distraught and drunk in an alleyway, he convinces him to get back into the spirit of fighting and enter the second tournament. After meeting King at the tournament, he defeated him, despite the other fighter's resolve and new techniques. Telling him of his orphanage, he bids King to return to his foster children.

"The mysterious masked wrestler, Armor King.... Just who is behind the steel armor and black jaguar mask and what do they seek? The answer is veiled in mystery." That is all that is said about him in his Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection prologue. Craig Marduk murdered the original Armor King during the time of the King of Iron Fist 4, but the Armor King's brother took his place and returned as "Armor King" in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection.

During the King of Iron Fist Tournament, Armor King attacked Craig Marduk and than vanished. Who is this man hidden behind the black panther mask and steel disguised as Armor King? What's his relationship to King and for what reason did he attack Craig? Still hidden in mystery, the gong for the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 has all ready been rung.

REVIEW:
Armor King was always a mysterious and cool kind of character, but he's also come a long way since his original appearance. His original epic return was of course in Tekken Tag, complete with all new moves and combo throws. History repeated itself in Tekken 5: DR and took his design even further. His latest fighting style in Tekken 6 is easily his best incarnation yet, and let me tell you, his name should be "Evil King." He's got some brutal, brutal throws, all of which just make you say OUCH. All in all, he's a really fun character to use if you learn him, and if you didn't already figure it out, he fights completely different from the original King.
