## Synopsis

### Operation Relic Retrieval

He is first shown in a flashback lifting rubble off of Yeji Ahn. When he is introduced in his current state, he is in a hospital bed and wrapped entirely in bandages. As part of Operation: Living Corpse, he is transported by helicopter to confront the Martial Arts Warrior.

Jiwon transforms in the helicopter and jumps down to confront Jiseong. The two battle, though Jiseong appears to have the upper hand. Jiseong, however, is dumbfounded as his opponent continues to fight even as the suit Jiwon uses overheats and threatens to burn him alive. The battle ultimately ends with the two Warriors launching massive energy blasts at each other. Jiseong is caught and burned in the resulting explosion, but manages to escape.

Jiwon returns to his sister and drops his belt, saying he "kept his promise" to fight for her and disintegrates as his sister watches in distraught.

## Abilities & Powers

### Pain Tolerance

Even without his hero equipment, Jiwon Ahn is shown to be extremely durable and able to tolerate great amounts of pain. He endured third-degree burns all over his body and is still able to move. Furthermore, he is able to continue to fight even as his entire body burns up

### Belt

The primary equipment of the Metamorphosis Warrior is a belt. The belt is shown to possess a personality. It is implied that if the personality is inactive or disappears, the belt would lose its ability to function. In order to activate the transformation and wear the suit, either the user or the belt needs to say "Transform"

* Acceleration
	+ The suit has modes that grant the user extreme amounts of speed
		- Accelerate Mode
			* Grants the user a great amount of speed. Jiwon was able to kick the Martial Arts Warrior through a building using this mode

### Weaknesses

* Cooling system
	+ The suit generates a lot of heat and requires a cooling system. If the cooling system is damaged or broken, the heat from the suit will burn the user inside
* Ego Willingness
	+ Because the belt has a personality, the belt must be willing to accept a user in order to equip the suit. If the personality disappears or refuses, the user may not wear the suit or use the abilities
