Series/Movie Info

Who is Redman?

Powers/Abilities
Red-Man’s body is powered by red-hot magma. This energy imbues Red-Man with extraordinary powers and abilities. Using this power Red-Man is able to run, swim and fly at incredible speeds. He has incredible strength and stamina.

While his size has never been clearly defined, it is presumed that he can change his size at will (similar to Godman and Spectraman).

Red-Man is shielded by a personal force field (“Red Barrier”) which gives him some limited protection.

Red-Man has super hearing through his “Red Ear” antenna pieces. These ear pieces can also serve to translate and interpret every vocal language he encounters. With his enhanced intelligence he is able to keep a record of every known monster and alien life form he encounters.

With his “Red Mouth” he is able to speak every alien and foreign language perfectly.

Since Red-Man draws power from fire and the solar energies of the sun, he is dependent on constant sources of heat and sunlight to give him power. Thus on cloudy/rainy days and nights Red-Man’s powers are cut into half. If Red-Man is exposed to extreme cold and/or snow, he is severely weakened.

Red-Man’s personal weapons include:

“Red Beam Lens”
From the yellow jewel on his helmet he is able to project an intense laser beam that can cut down his opponents.

“Red Fire”
From his right hand’s index finger Fire-Man is able to generate and expel intense jets of fire which can incinerate and burn everything in its path.

“Slice Cutter”
From Red-Man’s helmet he is able to generate and launch a beam of light that can slice and cut through several layers of solid steel.

“Red Arrow”
Red-Man’s hand-held weapon. A long javelin like weapon which Red-Man can hurl and impale his enemies. He can also use it in close battles to jab and stab his enemies. The Red Arrow can also generate an electrical charge that can shock his enemies. Normally miniaturized to fit in his gloves.

“Red Knife”
Red-Man’s hand-held weapon. A short knife which Red-Man can use to cut and stab his enemies. Made from a super dense alien metal that can cut through most Earth substances. Normally miniaturized to fit in his gloves.

“Red Kick”
Red-Man’s super strong kick attack. Can dent steel and iron with one hit.

“Red Chop”
Red-Man’s karate chop attack. Can crumble several feet of concrete and steel.

“Red Punch”
Red-Man’s deadly punch attack. This attack can punch a hole through several inches of steel and concrete.



Additional Information
Review No opportunity to review yet.  

Trivia

The “Red-Man” series closely resembled the “Ultra Fight” (1970-1971) series which basically revolved around a series of monster battles between Ultra Seven and various enemies from earlier Ultra series. In “Red-Man” the title character battles against a string of enemies and monsters from “Ultra Q”, “Ultraman”, “Ultra Seven”, “Mighty Jack” and “Kaette Kita Ultraman AKA Ultraman Jack”. It is not clear what Red-Man’s relationship (if any) is with the Ultra Family.

Other Tokusatsu installments of the Ohayo! Kodomo Show” include “Yuke! Godman” (Go Forth! Godman” (1972) and “Yuke! Green Man” (Go Forth! Green Man; 1973).
