Octopunch (Earth-7045)

There is no greater scourge of the seas than Octopunch. Though plundering the depths for forgotten treasure is well-suited to his expertise, his real love is the terror he can bring to those who breach his territory. There is no cruise ship so large that he can't find an appropriately-sized iceberg to push in its path. The thought of bringing its hull beneath the waves with his slimy tentacles is what sustains him in his private moments.

And unlike other robots with similar functions, Octopunch is very good at what he does. While in his Pretender shell underwater, his strength expands several fold, and his electrically-charged, razor-tipped harpoon gun can stop anything in its tracks. Though often seen with fellow Mayhem Attack Squad members - especially Bludgeon & Stranglehold, Octopunch is a fearsome warrior in his own right, either above or beneath the waves.

His only weakness is his overconfidence in his abilities. It may seem like a small one, but get back to me on this after he shoots God in the face.

Trivia

 * The reason he's called Octopunch despite actually transforming into a crab is because he mistook thought that the species had each others' names and no one bothered to tell him otherwise until he went to Earth. He's just as embarrassed about it as you are. Also angry. Luckily he rectified this with his Pretender shell.
