Magnet Bomber

**Magnet Bomber** is one of the Five Dastardly Bombers and is a recurring villain in the *Bomberman* series. He is a bad bomber with an affinity for magnets. He wears a blue (turquoise in *Super Bomberman R*) armor, a blue or white cape-like scarf-like, and a magnet emblem on his helmet. His bombs are magnetically attracted to robotic life-forms. In *Super Bomberman R*, Magnet Bomber's gloves are each colored as red and blue, a reference to the different colored poles on a magnet.

## Bio

At some point in the past, he was involved in a plot on the planet Phantarion in which the Five Dastardly Bombers fought against the world's army and severely wounded Max before being forced back.

In *Super Bomberman 2*, he and other Dastardly Bombers captured White Bomberman and put him a prison cell in Magnet Bomber's base. Bomberman awoke in the dungeon and fought his way through the base to a final showdown with Magnet Bomber himself. Defeated, Magnet Bomber fell to Earth alongside the wreckage of his ship.

He returned in *Super Bomberman 3*, revived by Professor Bagura, his master. Taking control of Swamp Attack in the Bomber Nebula, he challenges White Bomberman and Black Bomberman and is defeated again. He later returns to battle in the combined mecha at the end of the game, but again he is bested and left inside Bagura's exploding Battleship.

He and the rest of the Dastardly Bombers returned to Phantarion many years later in *Bomberman Tournament* to follow through with their old plot, but revised plans based on their previous mistakes. The plan worked, and they ruled over the planet for about one year until White Bomberman came to stop them. Magnet Bomber holds his position at Magnet Base near Beta and tried to defeat White Bomberman by fusing with the Karabon Pommy Fangs and turning into a dragon, but was defeated again. After escaping, he informs Pretty Bomber that Bomberman is heading in her direction.

Before the events of *Super Bomberman R*, the five ended up as deactivated on Planet Scrapheap. Evil Emperor Buggler (Bagura) revived them to conquer the five planets of the Starry Sky Solar System in his name. The Bomberman Bros. (White and Black along with Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, Pink and Aqua) set out to stop the expansion of the Buggler Army's intergalactic conquest and liberate the invaded planets.

Magnet Bomber is encountered on World 1: Planet Technopolis. He begins to make a grand, boastful speech about his stages, but is interrupted by Red, who blasted his way in. Taking offense at Red calling him a little guy and White calling him just a kid, Magnet Bomber initiates his on-foot battle. After being blown clear, he utilizes his robot, Iron Gauss. Afterwards, Aqua pleads to stop the fighting, but is rudely knocked out of the way by Magnet Bomber's careless punch as he gloats. Red realizes he shouldn't have done that, but it's too late; Aqua retaliates with an unladylike uppercut that launches both Magnet Bomber and Red into the stratosphere, to Black's amusement and Pink's chagrin.

Later, Emperor Buggler is chased to an artificial Black Hole which threatens to engulf the solar system and eventually the whole universe. He summons the Five Dastardly Bombers to form Great Gattaida, which is defeated by the Bomberman Bros. As a last resort, Buggler uses his own power to grow into Ultimate Buggler. The Five Dastardly Bombers finally regained their senses after Great Gattaida was destroyed and (though Magnet Bomber shows begrudging reluctance to this plan) voluntarily give their strength to the Bomberman Bros., defeating Buggler for now. Afterwards, the formerly Dastardly Bombers peacefully resumed their previous lives, again on good terms with the people of Planet Bomber.

In one of the pictures in the end credits of the game, Magnet Bomber is seen playing video games with Red.

## Appearance

Magnet Bomber has a turquoise blue body with yellow eyes and has a magnet symbol on his head. He wears a white scarf with red and blue on the tips at the end and wears a red glove is his right with an 'N' on it while his blue glove is his left has an 'S' on it which shows the polarity colors of positive and negative on magnets.

In Savage She-Ursa (MHA), he wears a captain's hat (Plasma's hat which later uses it as a boomerang) and a belt full of dropped weapons (such as a switchblade (Phantom's), flare gun, pickaxe or a knife (Vincent's)

## Personality

Magnet Bomber is always the first boss faced in a game featuring the Five Dastardly Bombers. In the manual manga for *Super Bomberman 3*, he calls White Bomberman "naive" for thinking it would be easy to retrieve the Mother Computer Chips. In *Bomberman Tournament*, he gloats about supposedly defeating Max, when in actuality it was Plasma Bomber who accomplished that task. He also seems surprised that White managed to find him, and calls Max a "big mouth". He seems overconfident about himself and is cocky, despite his failures and runt-like stature. This is reaffirmed in *Super Bomberman R*, where he displays an unwarranted sense of pride but is prone to anger and panic. He is shown to hate being ridiculed by his small size.

## TV Tropes

### In Canon

* The Baby of the Bunch: His tininess compared to the rest of the Dastardly Bombers combined with his tendency to easily get upsetmight imply he's the youngest out of the five of them.
* Berserk Button: In R, he's extremely confident in his image as a threatening, powerful Dastardly Bomber. As a result, he immediately snaps at anyone undermining that.
* Blatant Lies: When Bomberman confronts him in Tournament, he claims that he was the one who took out Max. The very first cutscene in the game shows that Plasma Bomber was responsible for defeating Max. NPCs at later points in the game prove that he didn't even defeat Max in their first invasion as that honor goes to Brain Bomber.
* Brought to You by the Letter "S": Has "N" and "S" on his boxing gloves in R, presumably standing for the North and South poles of magnetism.
* Cry Cute: His tiny frame and attempt at being threatening in R make his frustrated portraits, the ones with a small teardrop in his eye, apply to this.
* Enemy Mine: Magnet Bomber's response when the Dastardly Bombers work with the Bomberman Bros. to stop Buggler and save the universe in Super Bomberman R.
* The Napoleon: In R. Don't insult his height or call him Just a Kid.
* Scarf of Asskicking: Blue in most appearances, white in Super R.
* Selective Magnetism: Can use magnetic powers to pull in only bombs, or sometimes Bomberman himself. His bombs are also magnetically charged to be attracted to the player character and nothing else.
	+ Magnetism Manipulation: Confirmed in Super Bomberman R.
* Small Name, Big Ego: Is really cocky in his few speaking lines despite always being the first member of the Dastardly Bombers to fall to Bomberman.
* Wake-Up Call Boss: In Super Bomberman R he's the first boss and the player's first exposure to the game's ridiculously good boss AI, forcing players to adopt an actual strategy to defeat him unlike every single enemy up to that point.
* Weapon of Choice: Magnet Bombs.
* Would Hit a Girl: To Aqua Bomber in Super Bomberman R, which proves to be his undoing.

* Super Window Jump: Tries to do it in Crimson (MHA) as part of Starable's Imagine Spot plan to save Phantom Bomber and Hacker Bomber who were kidnapped by Tord ()/Crimson. Unfortunately, for him, soft glass was not in effect and ends up hurts very badly as a result.

* Unsound Effect: **Power fist ka-boom!** to ??? after being strangled by her
* Vitriolic Best Buds: Not to his subordinates, but to the TANSoH members, well...
