Edward Falcon (エドワード・フォッカ Edowādo Fokka?), known as Fokker in the Japanese version, is the main character of the 1999 Capcom fighting game Power Stone. Falcon is age 21, weighs 160 pounds, measures 5'11" and has a fighting style of boxing. He is the son of Pride Falcon, who is playable in Power Stone 2 after unlocking him. He is from Londo (a reference to London). When in Power Change, he is known as the Red Whirlwind. Falcon's Japanese name is a reference to the Fokker, the plane he is seen in. This was possibly removed in the English version because of the inappropriate puns that would follow. His Power Change is a similar hybrid to Iron Man.

Character

As the lead character of the Power Stone games, Falcon's character can be considered somewhat similar to that of Ryu, the mascot of developer Capcom's flagship fighting game franchise, Street Fighter. However, unlike Ryu, he is a boxer rather than a karate practitioner, and is also an aviator. Falcon is voiced by Ryō Horikawa, the voice actor for Vegeta in Dragon Ball, who also voices Captain Falcon (the main character of F-Zero) in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series,

Power Drives and Power Fusions

Power Drives

Homing Missile: Falcon launches a small missile from his arm that flies towards the closest opponent. This attack does decent damage and usually requires the opponent to run around a lot to try to avoid it.

Flaming Tornado: Falcon engulfs him self in flames and then spins at an extremely high rate of speed. If anyone is very close to you, they get sucked in and get hit many times by this attack. This attack deals good damage, but is useless if nobody is around you.

Power Fusions

Missile Armageddon: Falcon begins to glow and then launches many small missiles out of his body. This attack is more useful if it is executed in the air. The missiles track down the opponent and swarm them. Each consecutive hit by a missile does more damage, and due to this, it is possible to bring your opponent's health to dangerously low levels simply by aiming this attack correctly. However, with skill, this attack can be dodged like his regular missiles.

Comet Striker: Falcon glows and turns into a glowing ball of energy, and then shoots around the arena like a comet. Anybody who contacts him is instantly "stuck" to him and receives large amounts of combo damage. With good aim, you can heavily damage someone if you repeatedly strike them again and again until the attack ends.

Anime

Much like in the Power Stone games, Falcon is also the main protagonist of the anime, where he is voiced by Masaya Onosaka (Robert Tinkler in the English dub). Instead of having a British flag as a patch on his jacket, he has a Scottish flag instead. In the anime, Falcon is a boxer who greatly admires the wrestler Valgas (the final boss of the first Power Stone game). He is gifted a precious stone by his father, Pride, which turns out to be a Power Stone that, if utilised correctly, can transform him into a superhuman. Throughout the series, Falcon makes numerous friends along the way, but is also hunted down by the evil pirate Kraken (a miniboss in the first Power Stone game) and his crew. In the end, Falcon and his friends defeat Valgas, who they find out is the man really behind all the destruction in the world.
