## THE CHARACTER OVERVIEW

An elite warrior from the planet Katella, the being known only as Combat is a member of a race born and bred for the theater of war. Seeking to test his skills against the greatest champions of the galaxy, he arrived on Earth and found his place within Youngblood. Combat is the “Noble Savage” of the team—a stoic, blue-skinned titan who views every encounter through the lens of tactical honor. He is the ultimate “Fish Out of Water” powerhouse, balancing a regal, alien dignity with a terrifying efficiency in close-quarters combat.

## COLLECTOR’S CARD: “POWER STATS”

NAME: COMBAT

LEVEL: CLASS 50+ ALIEN COMBATANT

POWERS: Superhuman strength, speed, and endurance; regenerative “Battle-Trance” healing; master of all Katellan weaponry.

PHYSIOLOGY: Katellan biology allows for massive muscle density and heightened sensory perception.

THE HOOK: Combat doesn’t just fight for the team; he fights for his legacy. Every victory on Earth is recorded and transmitted back to his homeworld, making every Youngblood mission a piece of Katellan history.

## INVESTOR PITCH: THE “COSMIC EXPANSION” STRATEGY

1. The “World-Building” Anchor:

Combat is not just a character; he is a bridge to an entire galaxy. His presence allows for “Off-Planet” storylines, introducing the Katellan Empire, their rivals, and the vast technology of the Extreme Universe’s deep space. This significantly increases the “Universe Value” for any studio looking for a multi-season or multi-film franchise.

2. The “Powerhouse” Visual Identity:

With his striking blue skin, white-and-gold armor, and the signature “Liefeld-style” massive silhouette, Combat is a visual standout. He provides the “Heavy Class” aesthetic that is essential for diverse team dynamics in gaming and animation.

3. High-Action Gaming Potential:

In an industry dominated by “Hero Shooters” and “Action RPGs,” Combat’s Katellan fighting style offers a unique moveset. He isn’t just a brawler; he uses alien tech and “energy-blades” that provide high-impact visual feedback, making him a “Main” candidate for any gaming adaptation.

## SYNOPSIS FOR THE DIRECT MARKET (REBOOT POTENTIAL)

“Combat came to Earth to find a challenge worthy of a Katellan Prince. He found Youngblood. But as he defends a planet that isn’t his, his own people view his ‘heroism’ as a weakness. When a Katellan hit-squad arrives to ‘reclaim’ their champion and judge Earth’s worthiness, Combat must choose: his bloodline or his brothers-in-arms. The war for Earth won’t be fought with politics—it will be fought in the trenches with the greatest warrior the stars have ever produced.”

## THE “KAYFABE” ANALYSIS: THE ALIEN SILHOUETTE

From a “Cartoonist Kayfabe” perspective, Combat is a masterclass in non-human anatomy and contrast. Liefeld utilized Combat’s blue skin and white armor to create a high-contrast visual that pops against the urban backdrops of the Youngblood missions. His design—often featuring exaggerated shoulder pauldrons and a distinctive helmet—is built to be recognizable even in a crowded “splash page.” He represents the 90s push to move beyond the “human-in-spandex” trope toward something more “Extra-Terrestrial” and “Extreme.”
