| “ | Dude, feel the sting of my Valiantium Blade! | „ |
| ~ Wonder-Blue's catchphrase |
Wonder-Blue is one of the main heroes in the action beat-em-up game, The Wonderful 101, and a member of the CENTINELS Planetary Secret Service. His real name is Eliot Hooker, and he is an LAPD Detective outside of being a Superhero. He attacks with his Valiantium Blade.
He was voiced by Roger Craig Smith in English and Daisuke Egawa in Japanese.
Appearance[]
As a detective working for the LAPD, Eliot Hooker dresses professionally but stylish. His outfit consists of a light blue shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, collar popped, and the chest unbuttoned to show off his pecs. Eliot's shirt is tucked into his black pants, and he wears black shoes, a studded black belt, and a shoulder holster carrying his pistol and additional magazines.
Eliot's two-toned blue hair is long, tied into a ponytail at the back, and his long spiky bangs are parted to his right and partially obscure his face. Two "W" patterns are shaved into either side of his head, and he also has a small blue goatee. His eyes are light blue.
As a Wonderful One, Wonder-Blue dons Wonder-Mask and a deep blue CENTINEL-Suit, with a light blue jacket with popped collars brandishing the Wonderful Ones logo across its back. Blue's jacket is modified into a long trench coat, and his boots are only halfway tied/zipped and folded back down, creating an unusual "popped collar" look for his footwear. His hair remains unchanged from his civilian form.
Like all Wonderful Ones, when Blue activates his suit's Unlimited Form a cape is released from the back of the suit and protective plates extend from his mask, covering his mouth. When unmasked, Blue's suit vanishes and he is reduced to black briefs.
Personality[]
Wonder-Blue is a self-centered and arrogant individual, whose confidence in his own abilities are such that he prefers to work alone when given the chance, or lead the way himself if he must cooperate with others: as a result, Blue often sees himself as the de facto leader of the team. Blue is also markedly reckless, and regularly jumps headfirst into danger without thinking, and at times even puts his personal motivations above his responsibilities as a Wonderful One.
Wonder-Blue is infamous for disregarding others until they manage to earn his respect. While most Wonderful Ones have already managed to earn his good graces by the beginning of the game, the latest member of the team, Wonder-Red, has not, and Red being selected to lead the Wonderful Ones sparked a significant rivalry between the two as Blue was unwilling to follow orders from a rookie.
When he isn't creating conflict, Wonder-Blue is basically the "jock" or "dudebro" of the team ("dude" and "bro" being words he uses heavily in his dialogue,) and tends to have a flippant attitude in most situations, with a fondness for striking poses, acting cool, cracking jokes, and taunting enemies with "witty" remarks. Unfortunately, Blue isn't really as witty as he thinks he is, and his attempts at acting cool often attract the attention of Wonder-Green, who always has a good comeback to Blue's antics, to Blue's frustration.
To some extent, Blue and Green have something resembling a friendly rivalry going on between each other, as they regularly crack jokes at the other's expense... though Blue often escalates these back-and-forths to mild violence toward Green.
As a minor running gag, Wonder-Blue is known for being bad at operating devices and machines, with Wonder-Green insisting he stay way from controls of any kind and blaming him any time something appears to malfunction, and Wonder-Pink joking that "he can barely pilot the coffeemaker."
At first, Wonder-Blue was motivated purely by revenge, as it was revealed that he lost his older brother and only family to the betrayal of his brother's FBI partner, the GEATHJERK spy Vijounne. Blue even admits to becoming a Wonderful One purely to avenge his brother, and repeatedly endangered himself and the team attempting to do so after crossing paths with Vijounne again.
As a result of his past with Vijounne, Blue has some trust issues, and is somewhat paranoid about the idea of a GEATHJERK spy infiltrating the CENTINELS. Although a fear of aliens is reasonable given humanity's circumstances, Blue's distrust can cross into the realm of absurdity, as he not only rebuffed the alien Immorta, accusing her of being a spy even after her repeated efforts to save the lives of the team, he also even became paranoid of Luka's possible motivations for wanting to join the Wonderful Ones (a paranoia that would actually prove to be correct.)
Blue mistakenly believed that no one else, least of all the school-teacher-by-day Wonder-Red, could understand the personal losses he endured, and justified his reckless behavior for this reason. It wasn't until Commander Nelson chose to recount the loss of Red's father at the hands of Laambo to Blue did he realize that not only did Red also suffer losing his family to GEATHJERK, but that Red exercised restraint while face-to-face with his father's killer, and put the greater good above his personal motivations: something Blue failed to do so himself.
This revelation allowed Blue to finally develop respect for Red, accepting him as a leader, as well as pushing him to find restraint and to improve his ability to cooperate with others: something that would finally allow him to vanquish Vijounne once and for all.
Overview[]
Eliot transforms into Wonder-Blue.
A Wonderful One whose cover occupation is as a detective for the Los Angeles Police Department. Though young, he has gained experience and success in a variety of missions: taking down warring mafia families, counter-terrorism, and even taking part in military operations.
Having a strong sense of identity and a stronger dislike for authority, Blue is not the easiest Wonderful One to deal with in the organization; however, his ability to act quickly and make decisions in the blink of an eye has led to a chain of successful missions. Yet, despite these successes, his hotheaded personality makes Blue prone to losing himself in anger, peppering his record with a significant number of failures.
Blue insists on making a scene for everyone to see, so in combat he acts arrogant, taunting the enemy, and is prone to posturing into different poses that might look "cool". Unfortunately, reactions to his antics are conspicuous in their absence.
Poor at teamwork and preferring to work alone, Blue does not actively try to seek meaningful relationships with others. Instead, he accepts only those who are able to prove their skills, but this acceptance leads to a deep respect.
His weapon, the Valiantium Blade, is said to become sharper with every slice, forged with a special alloy able to cut through anything in the galaxy. His Unite Sword can deal lethal blows to even battleships.
As a young boy, he lost his beloved older brother to a nefarious GEATHJERK plot, leading him to despise the alien invaders with a deep-seated passion. His hatred and desire for revenge are especially strong against the GEATHJERK operative known as Vijounne.
