## Personality

Luke is not physically strong but rather is mentally strong because of his childish desire to see good win over evil. He hates being called weak and feeble.

## Forms

#### **Masked Form**

Musca's **Masked Form** is a heavily armored form that limits some of his ability. This is his default form until he pulls the lever shaped like the **Musca Zecter**'s eyes. This activates the **Cast Off**. It shatters the armor pieces around him in order to use his Rider Form. Flipping the lever the opposite way activates **Put On**, which returns him to Masked Form.

#### **Rider Form**

Musca's **Rider Form** is his sleeker form which resembles a house fly. In this form, he can activate **Clock Up**, which allows him to move at light speed. By twisting one of the eyes three times, he can perform his **Rider Kick** finisher.

#### **Hyper Form**

Accessed through the **Hyper Zecter** and the Hyper Cast Off command, Musca can access **Hyper Form**. It can also allow him to use **Hyper Clock Up** to move faster than light.

His finisher in this form is the **Hyper Kick**.
