Professor Kooperto Koopernicus Koopgang

From Yb Timeline

History

The story of how Koop actually joined the YB is lost to the internet sands. He came along when the Shadow King attempted to invade Star World, during which he met Vivian and instantly fell in love with her. However, when Mr. Game and Watch was injured by a missile, he offered to bring him back to the HQ. He himself was injured in this endeavor, but healed by the newly-arrived Dr. Mario. Around this time he seemed to be wiser than he was letting on, going into spurts of seriousness between his long periods of randomness. These serious spurts were tied more to when he was worried about Anubis.

At one point he went off to find Anubis after he had run off, as he had recently had symptoms of a heart attack. In the forest he came across a group of gray wolves, whom he asked for help from. However, they were enemies of Anubis and as they went to find him their leader attacked Koop. He fled but was cornered and fought for his life; just as the wolf was about to kill him Noshum (an apparent rival for Vivian's affections) appeared and fought off the wolf, then carried the collapsed Koop back to the HQ.

After Koop was healed, he began doing research on Phazon, which had recently begun appearing on Star World. He began work on a way to shield damage from the mutagen. Koop completed a prototype of a rifle that could damage phazon-mutated creatures and a suit that was resistant to phazon, and wanted to bring it on a test-run. He detected a phazon creature lurking about at Yoshi's Island, and some YBs went there to fight it.

The creature turned out to be a monstrous, mutated shy guy. A meteorite made of phazon fell out of the sky and hit the shy guy, mutating it further and increasing its size to thirty feet tall. Koop's inventions were able to damage the shy guy, however, and they incapacitated it. As the shy guy began to calm down, it said that it needed phazon to leave. Koop called for a fast ship to carry the shy guy in via his Golden Shroom, but no one arrived. Another shy guy arrived named Shuy who called the mutated one his sister, Shirl. Koop got an idea and tried to use his inventions to absorb the phazon in Shirl, but they overloaded and exploded.

When Koop awoke, he saw the explosion had thrown phazon about, and some of it had gotten on himself. Anubis arrived and brought them back to the HQ, where Koop placed Shuy in a containment field he had designed. Koop had trouble fighting the phazon, so Anubis knocked him out and entered his mind. Inside there several of Koop's memories were found: Repressed Memories, Loss of Sanity, Father's Dead, Lonelyness, and Greed: Source of Power. Because the Phazon was in there and nearly attacked Anubis, though, Koop threw him out and told him to use the phazon rifles to get the phazon out.

Anubis succeeded in getting Koop into his containment machine and curing him and Shuy of the phazon. Then with PB's help they determined who had attacked the HQ and mutated the oho jee, Space Pirates. He and Shuy went off to find them, but stopped at Yoshi's Island where another phazon-mutated creature was. This creature was a giant mutated Whacka; after it was weakened they followed it to find a large storage of phazon on the island underground; it was a Space Pirate base.

Koopernicus' Universal Computer

This was a thing.

Trivia

• "That's because my brain overloads with thoughts and I explode in a fit of randomness and destruction very often. Can't you tell?" I wonder if this explanation is canon.
