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.

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.
