Brandish (Mighty No. 9)

The Brandish, also known casually as "Brand", is one of the Mighty Numbers from Mighty No. 9. He was given the serial number Mighty No. 7. Brand wields the Sword Slash as his Special Weapon; Beck gains this from him after he defeats and rescues Brand on the Highway Stage. With this weapon, Beck gets a sword in his hand and can swing it. The Dynatron is weak to Brand's weapon.
==Character==
===Personality===
Brand virtualises discipline and self control. He thus becomes distressed when he realises that a virus is infecting his systems and is driving him mad. He speaks respectfully to his opponents, warning his younger brother Beck to not approach him, showing that Brand is afraid of destroying fellow Mighty Number Robot Masters.
===Physical Appearance===
The Brandish is designed after a warrior. He has a red and grey body. His eyes are blue with yellow sclerae, giving him a grim appearance. Around his neck is a long, flowing yellow scarf. He dons a chest jacket with a solid green ring collar, yellow-green sphere shoulders, two white rings around his wrists complete with fingerless gloves, grey "trousers", and boots that resemble cowboy boots. His helmet features ear phones, scissor-like horns, a white visor, an extended chin guard piece, and a protruding back piece. He carries two black, scissor-like blades with orange edges, red handles and white cloth wrapped around the guards.
==Story==
Brand was infected with a virus that caused robots to go berserk, but he had the most control, being very much aware about his situation. Beck became aware of this and chased Brand down a highway. In order to protect Beck by making him chicken out, Brandish attacked the cars ahead of him. Beck pressed on and rescued his brother from his disease.
After his rescue, Brand teamed up with Beck, removing obstructions in the powerplant that the power-mad Dynatron had infested. He and the other Mighty Numbers then stormed the Robot Factory.
==Trivia==
*Data files reveal that Brand is weak to the Strong Charge, similarly to how the Super Arm can do a number on Cut Man in the Mega Man games.
*The Brandish is an expy of Cut Man with regards to his scissor motif.
*Brand's concept art shows that his scarf was planned to be grey and formed like a scissor. His big chin also wasn't drawn yet.
*The Brandish's ability to resist the virus infection is very similar to General Pepper's ability to resist the Aparoid infestation in Star Fox: Assault.
