| “ | What? We have no such "catchphrase" in my country! I... Ah... Nyet. I have nothing. | „ |
| ~ Wonder-Yellow after being prompted to deliver a catchphrase, Operation 003-C. |
Wonder-Yellow is one of the main characters in the action beat-em-up game, The Wonderful 101. He is a Wonderful One and member of the CENTINELS Planetary Secret Service. His real name is, Ivan Istochnikov. He is a Russian Army soldier, and father outside of being a superhero.
Appearance[]
As a bodybuilding Russian soldier, Ivan Istochnikov has a hulking physique, with small beady eyes and a clean-shaven look. Dressed for cold Siberian weather, Ivan wears a winter uniform resembling a Soviet army winter uniform, which consists of a decorated, yellow-brown, double-breasted greatcoat with fur lining, brown gloves and boots, and a brown ushanka hat with its earflaps down.
His hair is not normally visible, but when his CENTINEL-Suit is damaged later in the game, short tufts of brown hair are visible poking through his hat, which alongside his clean-shaven neck, suggests a "high and tight" crew cut hairstyle underneath.
As Wonder-Yellow, he dons a Wonder-Mask and a yellow CENTINEL-Suit resembling his civilian coat, with a fur-lined yellow jacket branding the Wonderful Ones logo across its back, and a yellow ushanka with its earflaps tied up.
Like all Wonderful Ones, when Yellow 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, Yellow's suit vanishes and he's reduced to black briefs and his yellow ushanka.
Personality[]
Despite Wonder-Yellow's brute strength, he's gentle and extremely shy, with a habit of getting embarrassed and acting awkwardly in social situations. As a result of his shyness, when left to his own devices Yellow can appear somewhat incompetent for a Wonderful One, having once gotten lost on a mission to protect Professor Shirogane and somehow ending up trapped alone in the ceiling of a cargo shuttle instead.
Claiming that "We do not announce ourselves in my country", Wonder-Yellow is the least talkative of the seven main Wonderful Ones (after Wonder-Black, who never talks), rarely having anything to add to a conversation.
While Yellow's bumbling antics sometimes result in ridicule from the rest of the team, they nonetheless admire his strength and abilities as a Wonderful One. Unfortunately, Yellow is uncomfortable in the spotlight, and he easily becomes panicked and embarrassed when he receives any recognition for his efforts and contributions.
Despite his awkward behavior, Yellow has the ability to remain calm and optimistic even in the most dire of missions, a trait that provides comfort and reassurance to those around him.
Yellow speaks with a Russian accent and slightly broken syntax, with a tendency to say "da" and "nyet" instead of "yes" or "no".
Overview[]
Ivan transforms into Wonder-Yellow.
A member of the Russian army and hero to its people, Wonder-Yellow is so strong that he survived several trying missions through brute strength alone. As the "tank" of the team, he brings a tank-sized contribution to any mission, serving as the backbone that holds together the somewhat haphazard group of Wonderful Ones.
Despite his large figure, he actually has an extremely gentle personality, frowning upon violence and fighting and seemingly impervious to any of Green's insults. He is also shy to a fault, feeling awkward in public and reticent to take action, but he makes up for these shortcomings with his incredible scouting skills.
The kindness that emanates from Yellow has a healing effect on those around him, making him the mental support the team relies on when the situation is grim. It also helps that Yellow's muscle has save the team in a pinch, time and time again.
His weapon, the Peta-Peta Hammer, is made of the heaviest metal in the galaxy, Peta Omorium. His Unite Hammer is strong enough to smash through even the sturdiest GEATH-Titanium.
A father of two, Yellow spends his downtime with his family.
Abilities[]
Wonder-Yellow's Unite Morph is the Unite Hammer, which is an incredibly powerful Morph with limited range, and though it takes quite some time to swing, it is hands down the most powerful of the Unite Morphs. It is most useful against heavily armored opponents, piercing heavy armor plating and shattering enemy defenses; the hammer also possesses a defensive capability, shielding the player from incoming missiles and activating button switches, opening or closing areas that may be unreachable using other Unite Morphs and Wonderful Ones.
