Etymology[]
Capri-Gon’s name comes from Capricorn, the goat, a constellation.
History[]
After Gentaro and Goro foiled several of their plots, the Phantom Militia dispatched their fastest weapon to terminate the heroes. The robotic beast actually got close, going so far as to gravely wounding Gentaro’s leg. However, Goro was close by and transformed into Iron King, but the horned behemoth was too powerful. With its launching horn and stabbing needles, the robot trumped the hero and left him battered and bruised. With a victory in hand, Capri-Gon walked off.
Hazuki, the owner of Capri-Gon, called the monster to finish off Gentaro just a few days later. Attacking without care, the robot lured the cowboy hero into the open. Attacking with his Iron Belt and courage that seemed unsurpassed, Gentaro tried in vain to stop the mechanical menace. However, he was far too weak from his injury to do any lasting damage to the titan. Thankfully, before Capri-Gon could slay the brave mortal, Goro transformed into Iron King and faced it again! Completely outmatched though, Iron King was at the machine’s mercy. His chest stabbed with numerous needles, Iron King was facing death in the face. Seeing what was happening, Gentaro summoned every last bit of strength in his body and caught a flurry of the needles in mid-air with his Iron Belt. He swung them around and catapulted the projectiles back into the monster’s chest! When the tips buried themselves into its chest, the dinosaur-like automaton self-destructed.
