Story
Brocken Jr. is the son of Brockenman, a villain who appeared in the first Choujin Olympics arc and was killed by Ramenman. Brocken Jr. first appeared during the second Monster Hunters story arc in the Kinnikuman manga as a member of a "choujin magnificent seven" (consisting of Kinnikuman, Terryman, Brocken Jr., Ramenman, Beansman, Crystalman, and Puyo-Puyo) who were gathered to save Planet Rakka from invading villains.
He was later one of the entrants in the 21st Choujin Olympics (in fact he was the only German choujin to make it past the first preliminary), and ultimately made it to the final tournament. He was hoping for the chance to pay Ramenman back for his father's death, and they did battle in a concrete ring. Brocken put up a respectable fight, but eventually lost. The normally vicious Ramenman spared him, however, laying the foundation for an enduring friendship. He rooted for Ramenman when he fought and ultimately lost to Warsman.
Brocken Jr. fought again when the Seven Devil Choujin challenged Kinnikuman, and fought Mr. Kamen. Brocken was on the verge of being mummified when another choujin, eventually revealed to be Mongolman, joined the fight and saved him. During the Golden Mask arc, he took part in a very brutal match against The Ninja, eventually coming out the victor. He teamed up with Wolfman for the Dream Tag Tournament to form the Most Dangerous Combo, but they were immediately taken out by a trespassing Kendaman and Screw Kid.
Brocken was present during Kinnikuman's coronation, where the 5 Fated Princes first showed up. He then surprised everyone by serving as Second-in-Command on Team Soldier. He, Soldier, and Buffaloman took part in a 6-Man Tag match against Super Phoenix, Mammothman, and Prisman. In order to protect Soldier from Prisman's Choujin-destroying Rainbow Shower beam, Brocken removed the skull badge on his hat, removing his Choujin body. Because the beam only destroyed Choujin bodies, he was able to use his body as a shield until the sun began to set (the sun being the source of its power). Weakened, Super Phoenix and his men began to beat on Brocken. With his last once of strength (and after his skull badge flew back to his hat), he threw himself and Prisman out of the floating ring with his Bremen Sunset technique. He shattered Prisman's head on a statue and then fell into the canyon below and died. He was latered revived (along with the rest of Team Soldier) with Kinnikuman's Face Flash.
After Kinnikuman took the throne, he returned to Germany with no goals and became a drunk. He sobered up after becoming the Lehrer (teacher) of Orphan Choujin Jade.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“Yet if strict criticism should till frown on our method, let candor and good humor forgive what is done to the best of our judgment, for the sake of perspicuity in the story and the delight and entertainment of our candid reader.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“Wit is often concise and sparkling, compressed into an original pun or metaphor. Brevity is said to be its soul. Humor can be more leisurely, diffused through a whole story or picture which undertakes to show some of the comic aspects of life. What it devalues may be human nature in general, by showing that certain faults or weaknesses are universal. As such it is kinder and more philosophic than wit which focuses on a certain individual, class, or social group.”
—Thomas Munro (1897–1974)
“I know not whether the remark is to our honour or otherwise, that lessons of wisdom have never such power over us, as when they are wrought into the heart, through the ground-work of a story which engages the passions: Is it that we are like iron, and must first be heated before we can be wrought upon?”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
