Punk


 * For further reading on Punk outside of the Worlds Collide crossover, check out Mega Man Monthly.

Punk, model number MKN-002 is a member of the Mega Man Killers, an elite team of Robot Masters from Earth 20XX. Created by Dr. Wily, they engaged his nemesis Mega Man in their home reality, only to be destroyed. However, with the help of his ally Dr. Eggman, Wily later time-cloned them from before their defeats and brought them into the Skull Egg Zone. Serving as part of the internal defenses of the Wily Egg, Punk and his teammates, Enker and Ballade, soon faced off with Mega Man again, this time as he was aided by Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails, and Rush. Punk battled Sonic, annoying the Hedgehog with his use of an attack similar to Sonic's Spin-Dash. However, he proved unable to keep up with the Hedgehog, who led him on a chase that resulted in Enker's destruction as the two of them tore through him. Rush then restrained Punk, allowing Mega Man to finish him off. (MM: #27)

Abilities
Punk possessed the ability to curl into a spiked ball and propel himself towards enemies, producing a similar effect to Sonic's Spin-Dash.

Background Information

 * In their brief appearance, Punk was the only one of the Mega Man Killers who didn't speak while confronting Sonic, Mega Man, and their allies.
 * Punk's MKN designation stands for Mega Man Killer Number 2.
 * Punk's name is likely derived from the punk genre of music, a common naming theme in the Mega Man series.

Appearance
Punk is the least humanoid of the Mega Man Killers, with any face rendered invisible by the shadows of his armor, though a pair of eyes with red irises could be seen. His head and upper torso are covered by a single piece of red armor, with a razor sharp ridge of silver metal-resembling a Mohawk-on top of his head. A gray metal plate is present where pectorals would be on a human, while a pair of engines are visible on his back. His shoulders are topped by two red dome-shaped pieces of armor, each sporting three sharp silver spikes.

Gold rings encircle the spikes and the bases of the dome shoulder plates, with a similar ring going around Punk's waist and two point-sporting spikes of their own-encircling his wrists. Punk has white hands that almost resemble gloved hands, while black material covers his upper arms and legs. His boots/lower legs have gold kneecaps with a spike erupting from each one, while the calves are red metal. The tops of his feet are gray, while the soles and sides are red and form into pointed toes.

In ball form, Punk's body apparently compresses into the two shoulder plates, while his Mohawk sticks out from the seam of the two, acting as a cutting blade.
