**Major Firepower** was a Shadow Bean from the mobile game Killer Bean Unleashed. He serves as the main antagonist of the game's story mode.

## Profile

### Appearance

Major Firepower wore gray shoes and knee pads with a gray vest. The only piece of clothing that isn't gray is his red beret. He claims he is wearing a special kind of reactive armor that protects him against bullets. His appearance is based on the Mercenary Commander.

### Skills

Major Firepower doesn't seem to have any intrinsic skills other than his ability to pilot an attack helicopter. He commands a brigade of mercenary beans, and he uses a powerful rifle as well as reactive bulletproof armor. Just how useful this armor is when it comes to protection is hard to determine. Killer Bean refers to Major Firepower in the beginning as "one of the shadow agency's top shadow beans". When Major Firepower dies, Killer Bean claims that he has a feeling that "it will get a lot harder", implying that Major Firepower is not the most powerful shadow bean. Although he may have been referring to the bonus level enemies, and not the other shadow beans. He also shoots fire bullets, like Metal Bean, these do 30 damage to Killer Bean.

### Personality

Major Firepower is shown to be very arrogant and shows hatred towards Killer Bean, and is also shown to be overconfident about his skills.

## Story

Killer Bean decided to hunt down and kill Major Firepower as part of his quest to stop the Shadow Agency. After fighting a few of his mercenaries, he catches the attention of Major Firepower, who sends a helicopter loaded with 40 mercenaries to kill Killer Bean, who managed to survive the attacks. Soon after, Killer Bean finds out that Major Firepower is located on a building across the city. He concludes the fastest way to get there is by jumping from rooftop to rooftop. He reaches Major Firepower on a rooftop and after a battle, Major Firepower explains that his reactive armor makes him immune to Killer Bean's "puny" bullets. Shortly after, Killer Bean is ambushed in a warehouse by 50 mercenaries along with a tank. After killing the mercenaries and disabling the tank, Major Firepower appears and has a fight with Killer Bean, but Killer Bean once again fails to kill him. Major Firepower flees to the roof, and Killer Bean follows. The two fight for one last time, only now Major Firepower is piloting a deadly attack helicopter. Unlike the armored chopper, the attack helicopter is unarmored, allowing Killer Bean to destroy it easier leaving Major Firepower assumed dead.

## Trivia

* Just how effective his reactive armor is at protecting him from bullets is unknown. Since Killer Bean declared Major Firepower "gone" immediately after the helicopter exploded, it means that he knew that Major firepower's armor wouldn't be effective enough to protect him from the explosion, even though it is strong enough to handle a fire bomb. Either that, or Killer Bean knew that he survived the explosion, but predicted that Major Firepower would die as a result of falling from the sky and/or being crushed by the helicopter.
* Major Firepower might be revived by the Shadow Bean Hologram like Jet Bean was, as the hologram could be reviving any killed shadow beans, however this is purely speculation.
* He is planned to be a playable character in the upcoming Killer Bean game.
