Fulgore

Fulgore is a highly-advanced, fighting machine created by Ultratech that debuted in the original Killer Instinct, and has made a playable appearance in every game in the series. He is the main rival of Jago, a rivalry that has carried on through his many iterations and models. Like Jago, he is a "shotokan" character, utilizing both zoning and close combat in a way that's easy to use, but difficult to master.

Fulgore's appearance in the first Killer Instinct is the Type-01 model. His design seems to be heavily based off of an old English knight. His head and face resemble that of a knight's helmet and mask, his red eyes slanted into a death glare and no nose or mouth, though he seems to be able to make grunts and screeches. One of the most dominant "knight" appearances is the feather-like extension protruding from the back of his head, as seen with most knight's helmets with feathers. The rest of his body is humanoid, having random circuitry and eletrical tubing coming out of his neck and torso that powers his massive strength and intelligence.

Fulgore receives a slight design overhaul in Killer Instinct 2/Gold as the Type-02 is activated. He retains a mostly similar, physical design, though he's slightly more sleek and slim, his armor appearing much sharper and polished, with streaks of metallic blue lining his arms, torso and legs. Yellow highlights and designs are also present on his chest. His metallic blades are now comprised of energy rather than metal. This is to show this Fulgore is a new, improved model over the original.

Fulgore again receives a strong overhaul to his design in Killer Instinct (2013) as the formidable Type-03. His face is sleeker and more menacing, but mostly appears virtually identical to past versions. His body appears much more mechanical than the previous incarnations - joints, gears, circuitry, wires, and tubes are exposed along his entire body and back of his limbs. His mass is also distributed in an even more drastic manner, having thinner legs and a larger chest and arms. When his chest plates open, his orange, nuclear reactor core and a stamp that reads "Mark 03" are revealed. His plasma blades are also much longer and sharper in design, made more for stabbing this time than slashing.
