Anton Zeck/Bebop

**Anton Zeck** is a master thief who steals the Shredder's helmet the Kuro Kabuto for Ivan Steranko. He is the 2012 series incarnation of **Bebop**.

## Appearance

### As Human

Anton Zeck is thin, but athletic. He wears a *Tron* inspired suit that has a purple visor and an energy mohawk. Although his first appearance had him with glasses under his visor, he did not have his glasses in the second appearance.

### As Mutant

Bebop is a thin humanoid mutant warthog with a short left tusk, long right tusk and the high-tech parts of his suit fused to his body. The top half of his high-tech suit became a vest.

## Personality

Zeck normally talks in rap while making funky body movements. He also tends to show how slick he is when he steals and enters areas where he is supposed to commit a robbery.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Warthog-human hybrid/cyborg physiology:** As a result of his mutation, Bebop's suit has merged with his body and he has the natural abilities of a warthog. His physical condition has also increased, but not by much.
	+ **Enhanced sense of smell:** Bebop's sense of smell has been greatly enhanced, having claimed that it is stronger than that of a bloodhound.
	+ **Enhanced endurance:** Bebop's endurance levels have increased, as was able to survive Rocksteady falling right on top of him.
* **Laser beam projection:** Bebop is able to shoot beams of energy from his hands and from his hips, being able to do the latter using a belt he wears.
* **Invisibility:** Bebop can make himself completely invisible. Initially he could not make anything he touched invisible along with him, but at some point after his mutation he managed to fix this problem.
* **Energy mohawk:** Bebop is able to create energy fields around his mohawk that he can throw at his opponents.
* **Dancing:** Bebop is a skilled dancer and uses his dancing style to avoids his enemies' attacks.
* **Expert thief:** Even before he was mutated Bebop was a skilled thief. His skill level is so great that Rocksteady trusted him to steal the Kuro Kabuto, something the other thieves he hired failed to do.
* **Explosives**: Bebop is skilled at designing explosives.
* **Stealth:** While invisible, Bebop is able to sneak up towards his enemies.

## Gadgets

Anton Zeck is equipped with a range of high-tech gizmos such as a cloaking device, an energy mohawk and a backpack that can allow him to slide up or down a wall. His high-tech suit is charged by two double-A batteries.
