The Space Station got damaged and as it exploded her father put her in an Escape Pod and sent her to Earth.

## Villains

The SS-N forces included scientists, mercenaries, and humans subjected to experimentation.

### ​Iceman

**Sukezo Kudo** (工藤助三, *Kudō Sukezō*?) was an ordinary blue collar worker that was accidentally trapped inside a warehouse freezer.  Kudo managed to escape one year later, but the cold temperature mutated his body to the where he required sub-zero temperatures to survive. Another side effect is his ability to freeze anything or anyone he touched. The SS-N took notice of Kudo’s mutation and enhanced his powers, using his status as a freak to convince him. Now rechristened **Iceman** (冷凍人間, *Reitō Ningen*?), he was unleashed to wreak havoc with his new ice breath. In his final confrontation with Janperson, Iceman was exposed to fire and tragically melted away.

### ​Dr. Shiina

**Dr. Shiina** (ドクター椎名, *Dokutā Shīna*?), an SS-N scientist so devoted to Reiko, he planted a bomb in his body and gave her the detonator as a gift.  Preying upon Sukezo Kudo, a mutated human, Shiina transformed Kudo into Iceman.  Per Reiko’s orders, Shiina used Iceman in an effort to capture Janperson alive for the SS-N’s experiments.  After lceman’s destruction, Shina was ready to die by his own bomb, but Reiko simply dropped him into a bottomless pit.

### Dr. Saionji

**Dr. Saionji** (ドクター西園寺, *Dokutā Saionji*?), an effeminate and vain scientist who claimed to be Reiko’s number one favorite, developed a special substance called **Foam Memory Cells** (形状記憶細胞, *Keijō Kioku Saibō*?). Saionji’s plan was to use the Foam Memory Cells to copy the appearance of a criminal named Machinegun Joe and transform Janperson into said criminal. He got a taste of his own medicine when Janperson exposed Saionji to the foam during a struggle. Saionji was arrested by the police, trapped in Machinegun Joe’s likeness.

### Daikoku & Ebisu

**Daikichi Izumiya** (泉谷大吉, *Izumiya Daikichi*?)/**Daikoku-ten** (大黒天 , *Daikoku*?) and **Chukichi Izumiya** (泉谷中吉, *Izumiya Chūkichi*?)/**Ebisu** (えびす, *Ebisu*?) are a pair of siblings dressed like two of the Seven Lucky Gods, andcommitting robberies and using the loot as tribute for Reiko. Like his namesake, Daikoku carries a mallet (uchide no kozuchi) which is really an ultra sonic device that hypnotizes people into a dream-like state of pleasure. Ebisu carries a large fishing rod and bombs shaped like koi. At Reiko's request, they used a giant version of Daikoku's mallet put Janperson into a dream hypnosis and dismantle him. Janperson broke free and defeated the fake gods, leaving them for the police.

### Iron Soldier

The **Iron Soldier** (鉄鋼兵, *Tekkō-hei*?) is an ancient robot from a lost civilization. The SS-N took interest in it and assumed Janperson himself was also part of the same civilization. The Iron Soldier and it's brethren were originally created to serve mankind, but turned against humans when their remote controls fell into evil hands. History repeated itself when SS-N mercenary, Osaki, took possession of the Iron Soldier's remote and ordered it to kill everyone. The remote was unfortunately destroyed and the Iron Soldier went berserk. Janperson destroyed the Iron Soldier with the Jan Vulcan.

### Osaki

**Osaki** (大崎, *Ōsaki*?) is an SS-N mercenary assigned to locate the ruins of the Iron Soldier. Successful in his search, Osaki stole the Iron Soldier's remote control to make it do his bidding. However, Osaki's order backfired when the remote control was damaged. He was disintegrated by the Iron Soldier's laser beams.

### Panther Lady

**Panther Lady** (パンサーレディ, *Pansāredi*?), real name **Sayoko Ishiguro** (石黒小夜子, *Ishiguro Sayoko*?), is an expert on matter transmission and phantom thief for the SS-N. She is armed with a bullwhip and wears a leopard themed costume made of a special material that transmits matter into electronic devices, including robots like Janperson. To maintain the costume's electronic transmission abilities, Panther Lady needed to steal blue diamonds. If she stole enough diamonds, the SS-N would be able to transmit large armies and take over the city. With the help of a local police detective, Janperson shorted out Panther Lady's powers and had her arrested.

### Doctor Koga

**Doctor Koga** (ドクター甲賀, *Dokutā Kōga*?), real name **Masao Aoki** (青木マサオ, *Aoki Masao*?), is a geneticist who theorized people with ninja lineage carried a "ninja gene" that could be harnessed to turn an ordinary person into a full-fledged ninja. His efforts to extract the gene and create an army of ninjas were decried as inhumane, leading him to take his talents to the SS-N. Koga abducted ninja descendants and performed surgeries until he successfully found a candidate that possessed the gene. Janperson teamed up with the victim to destroy Koga's laboratory, rescue the abductees, and capture Koga himself.

### Reireichu

The **Reireichu** (麗々虫, *Reireichū*?, lit. beautiful insect) are mutant worms created by Reiko. They eat inorganic computer chips and share a telepathic link with each other. A fully grown worm is capable of controlling machines, including robots. The Reireichu took control of Janperson and Gun Gibson and forced them to fight each other, but were ejected when their weakness to fire was discovered. The deaths of the adult Reireichu caused a telepathic feedback that killed off the larvae in Reiko's lair.

### Modoki

**Modoki** (モドキ, *Modoki*?) is a prototype artificial human (人間モドキ, *ningen modoki*?, lit. imitation human) created by the SS-N, hence his code name. Modoki has the ability to heal quickly from any wounds and can fool Janperson's scanner into registering him as a real human. However, Modoki began to have an existential crisis after he rescued and befriended an amnesiac woman. He ultimately decided to declare himself a real human and escaped the SS-N. To keep Modoki safe from the SS-N for good, Janperson and Kaoru helped fake his death.

### Doctor Inuyama

**Doctor Inuyama** (ドクター三山, *Dokutā Inuyama*?) is the creator of Modoki, an artificial human being. His creation was so perfect, Janperson even mistook Modoki as a real human. The SS-N was ready to begin mass producing more, but Modoki went rogue. Inuyama personally went into the field to chase and retrieve the artificial man and set up a trap to keep Janperson at bay. When Modoki was seemingly destroyed by Janperson, Reiko declared Inuyama and his project a failure. Like all those who fail the SS-N, Inuyama was thrown into a bottomless pit.
