Read more about Spinal at: Wikipedia Official Site: Rare The following is a list of characters in the Killer Instinct fighting game series (Killer Instinct and Killer Instinct 2). Hired by Ultratech as a secretary, Black Orchid is a spy for an unknown party and apparently the heroine of the series (along her brother Jago). In the sequel, Black Orchid destroyed Eyedol in the first tournament (which sent the Ultratech building two millennia into the past). Now she seeks to destroy Gargos and find a way home. Orchid had a weapon change from the first game, using two tonfa instead of laser swords. She has two No Mercy moves. In one, she gives her opponent an (apparent) heart attack by unzipping her top and flashing her breasts at them (away from the camera); however, if the opponent is also Orchid the opponent Orchid will stomp the ground in spite. In the other, she turns the opponent into a frog and stomps on them. Her "flashing" finishing move was ranked the fifth most creative video game death by Wired in 2009. In 2011, it was ranked third on a list of the "craziest fatalities" in gaming by Complex; while UGO.com listed the finisher "where she whips out her sweater puppies and causes her opponent to have a boner-related heart attack" as the 47th nastiest cinematic kill in video games. Houston Press ranked it the fifth stupidest 'fatality' in any game: "This causes the male characters to have heart attacks and die even if they are aliens who probably have no shared sense of eroticism with humans, a robot, or a reanimated skeleton with no freakin' dick!" Chief Thunder, a Native American chief armed with twin tomahawks, enters the tournament to find out what happened to his missing brother Eagle in the previous year's tournament. He has two No Mercy moves. In the first, he calls down a bolt of lightning to strike the enemy; in the second he knocks the opponent into the air, leaving objects behind (depending on the opponent). Chief Thunder is at the bottom of the character tier due to his faulty move set; his ax spin attack is breakable, limiting his options at other than face-to-face range.
