He tried to expose the corruption of ARIA to the world. And when Eagle was a young man, he went to receive a Guardian Spirit. "Eagle and Thunder were instructed to always honor the old ways. It is unknown if the new Fulgore model present in Killer Instinct 2 was Eagle or not.Ĭuriously, in Thunder's ending in the first Killer Instinct a ghastly image of Spinal is shown upon mentioning Eagle. Meanwhile, Eagle as Fulgore had been heavily damaged during his fight with Jago and he was retired. Thunder was initially very upset by this, and spent a long deal of time mourning during the events of Killer Instinct 2. He did not win the tournament, but he succeeded in finding out that Eagle had seemingly "perished" at the hands of Ultratech. Eagle was converted into the first in a line of cyborg soldiers known as the Fulgores, and was sent to participate in the upcoming Killer Instinct tournament.Ĭoincidentally, Thunder entered the same tournament in order to discover the fate of his brother. Unfortunately, this protest was short-lived, as Eagle mysteriously vanished shortly afterwards. He had entered a previous Killer Instinct tournament and won, using his newfound fame to publicly protest the evils of Ultratech. Like his brother Thunder, Eagle was a skilled warrior. Eagle also features bright, glowing glyphs across his torso, face and right arm that are reminiscent of the ones seen on Glacius, the extraterrestrial entity who has released him from Ultratech's captivity. It portrays him as a fast-paced Nez Percé archer who wields a futuristic-looking bow and carries a whip-like weapon, is accompanied by a robotic bird of prey which appears to be his guardian and who is wearing some kind of bionics suit. He is shown to be holding a bow in one piece of artwork.Įagle's 2017 teaser trailer marked the character's first official appearance in a Killer Instinct game. He wears a leather headband (adorned with feathers in appearances where he's portrayed as bald) as well as a pair of leather armbands. In some of the comics, he is shown to have long and black hair, but in others, he is bald.
Eagle is one of the few characters mentioned in the original Killer Instinct (1994) who had yet to make an appearance in any of the series' titles, his likeness only ever seen in the KI comics published in the mid 1990s.
