Fulgore

Fulgore, also known as Fulgore Mark I, Fulgore Mark II and Fulgore Mark III, is a character from the Killer Instinct series.
== Charactah Account ==
Fulgore is a prototype cybernetic soldier created by Ultratech. He was entered into the tournament to test and showcase his abilities; if he proved capable enough, mass production would begin. However, he was destroyed by Jago, resulting in a new, deadlier Fulgore being constructed in KI2 to hunt the monk down for revenge.
Later on, Fulgore possesses an intellect far beyond the rudimentary artificial intelligence of its predecessors. It thinks, it plans, and it is quickly developing a will of its own. It is later revealed that this is because the Fulgore Mk. III's intelligence is based on the soul of Eagle, trapped in Ultratech custody. This gives it a mental connection with the young warrior and his brother, Thunder.

== Trivia ==
* The Killer Instinct comics (appendages to the original Killer Instinct's lore) showed Fulgore having a human face behind its chassis, and also implied that the cyborg's internal organs had been illegally "harvested" by Ultratech from somewhere in Moscow, Russia.
* In Killer Instinct (2013), one of Thunder's endings reveals that Ultratech has plundered the mind of his younger brother, Eagle, in order to create the artificial intelligence needed for the Fulgore Mark 03. The 5th chapter of the Killer Instinct Novella, titled "ARIA For Noomorph", details how ARIA utilized Eagle's brain wave patterns as a base for the cyborg's AI system, transferring them into Ultratech's most advanced Type-03 model.
* Kevin Bayliss, an artist of the original Killer Instinct, stated in his Twitter hashtag #killerinstinctfacts that Fulgore's sounds were created by mixing synth effects with pig squeals. They explicitly wanted him to not have a human voice, so they settled on robotic screams instead.
* Fulgore's name comes from the Latin word fulgor, meaning lightning. This is reflected in the electric effects that appear in Fulgore's Eye Laser and Plasmaport.
* A conceptual field manual for the Fulgore Mk. III was released by Iron Galaxy on the official Killer Instinct website, serving as Fulgore's background story for Killer Instinct (2013).
* When the player reaches 16+ combo hits with Fulgore, the remixed classic theme of "Museum" will start to play. When both characters are kept idle for a certain amount of time, the remixed classic theme "Full-bore" will begin playing.
* Fulgore was the last character to be confirmed for Killer Instinct (2013)'s initial Season One cast, and was first revealed in the game's launch trailer (showing only a shadowy robotic frame with glowing red eyes). Originally set to be available by March 2014, Fulgore's release became delayed until April 2014.
* In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (also made by Rare), Fulgore is referenced through the vehicle part "Fulgore's Fist".
