Description
Personality
Balladbird Lee is portrayed as a calm and collected individual who deeply values his friendships, particularly with Bob Poundmax and Harry MacDowell. He possesses a quiet ambition, preferring to support Harry's more overt drive for power within Millennion. While outwardly calm, Lee's dedication to his friends is unwavering, as shown by his willingness to undergo a risky procedure to save Bob, and his ruthless efficiency in eliminating obstacles to Harry's rise. His transformation into his Superior form reveals a more volatile side, marked by a high-pitched laugh, contrasting sharply with his usual demeanor. Despite his loyalty and calm exterior, Lee is capable of great violence, particularly when provoked or driven by his strong sense of loyalty. Lee's actions reveal a complex character struggling between his personal relationships and his commitment to Millennion's goals. His internal conflict is highlighted by his inability to kill his brother, Cannon Vulcan, despite the latter's betrayal. The contrast between his calm exterior and the brutal actions he takes to ensure Harry's success underscores a character driven by a complex mix of loyalty, ambition, and a capacity for both compassion and ruthless efficiency.
Abilities
Lee's abilities are significantly different depending on whether he is in his human form or his Superior form. **Human Form:** In his human form, Lee is a highly skilled martial artist and expert in using senbon (thin, long needles). His skill is such that he can disarm Harry MacDowell, a highly skilled gunman, while being held at gunpoint. His senbon are his primary weapons, used with precision and lethality. **Superior Form:** Transformation into a Superior grants Lee enhanced physical capabilities and unique abilities. The specifics vary slightly between the game and anime depictions: * **Game:** Lee's Superior form is a bulbous figure with one leg modified into a blade and the other into a machine gun-like appendage. He uses these modified legs for incredibly powerful strikes, capable of slicing a train car in half. However, this form is vulnerable to omnidirectional attacks. * **Anime:** Lee's Superior form retains a human upper body but gains four bladed, insect-like legs. He can detach and fire bladed skeletal appendages from his feet with incredible speed, capable of slicing bullets in mid-air. He can also launch blades from beneath his sleeves. His speed is greatly enhanced, allowing him to easily catch up to a moving subway car. In this form, he is impervious to standard and anti-Orgmen bullets. In both versions, his Superior form represents a significant power increase, making him a formidable opponent. However, the Anti-Superiorization bullets are effective against him, reverting him to his human form and causing his body to disintegrate.
