Heroes
CEO
Down but not out
Click to see CEO's 1st corrupted form
I think Business Planet is getting to him...
Click to see CEO's 2nd Corrupted form
Definitely starting to affect him.
The amnesiac CEO of the recently recycled Suits City. After waking up on Trash Island by Agent J, he is then tasked with the assassination of various Shareholders across the world to recover his memories.
- Amnesiac Hero: The CEO, who after getting his face clocked by Guy, falls out of his window and crashes into Trash Island where he loses his memories. It's only after beating VR Man does his memories return, but still decides to fight because his original plans were the same as before; betraying and killing the Chairman.
- Final Boss: Served as this in Suits: A Business RPG.
- His Name Really Is "Barkeep": CEO is, in fact, his full legal name.
- Mercy Kill: CEO feels bad for Stinky Pete, an optional miniboss in the Stockford sewers, and thinks killing him is a kindness.
- Really 700 Years Old: The very first Suit ever created, marking the beginning of the cycles. An unknown amount of time has past since then and Earth becoming Business Planet but it's enough that 2000 cycles has passed and the time could be measured in centuries.
- Red Baron: It doesn't take long for CEO to earn the nickname of "Shareholder Killer". Given that Shareholders are very strong and hard to kill, it's a title that instills both fear and awe on Business Planet.
- Super Prototype: CEO was the first Suit ever created and is still strong by the modern standards of Business Planet. All unaltered Suits are more or less clones of him, though many have been genetically modified to fulfill various needs.
- We Can Rebuild Him: Should the CEO fall in combat, he will be rebuilt as a surveillance cyborg.
The Guy
Just an ordinary Suit wanting to make the world a better place.
Click to see Guy's 1st corrupted form
He doesn't just use his briefcase like it's a part of him...
Click to see Guy's 2nd corrupted form
Should we start calling him The Briefcase now?
The main protagonist of the previous game. Just a Suit who worked in Suit City, only to be wrapped up in a conspiracy and defeated CEO in combat. This time he willingly joins CEO in order to free Business Planet from the Shareholders.
- His Name Really Is "Barkeep": A Suit literally called the Guy.
- Previous Player-Character Cameo: Was the main character in the previous game. Becomes your second permanent party member early in the game.
- Use Your Head: Normally The Guy simply smacks his enemies with his briefcase with his basic attack. Due to how corruption makes him merge with his briefcase, in his 2nd corruption form, he simply slaps his entire head against enemies as his new basic attack.
Jerome
Careful, he knows how to use them.
A Suit with an afro and a tendency to say "My Man!" Jerome joined Guy's quest to overthrow the CEO of Suit City in the previous game. Now, he seeks to save Business Planet by having the Shareholders killed. He's really one of two humans still alive, his full name being Doctor Jerome Nobel Kwame.
- Really 700 Years Old: One of two unaltered humans (aside from no longer being able to age). Was there before the first Suit, CEO, was created and a partner of Thel before the latter betrayed Jerome.
- Traveling Salesman: Made his living selling office supplies all over Business Planet until he started to regain some of his memories of before Earth was changed.
Evelyn Beanstein (Spoilers)
The daughter of Beanstein and a sentient plant, but unlike others, can talk and move due to being the end result of Beanstein's attempts to bring her back. Like the rest of CEO's crew, Eve wants to destroy the twisted world, and replaces Jerome after clearing Beanus-Eden.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Even after becoming human again in the good ending, Eve has green skin and darker green hair, possibly becoming part plant.
- Botanical Abomination: Increasingly becomes one when corrupted in battle.
- Daddy's Girl: Eve and Beanstein genuinely love each other very much. Doesn't stop Eve from killing him in order to put him out of his misery.
- Idiot Hair: Eve's human form sports one.
- Mercy Kill: Considers killing Beanstein to be this due to him no longer being the same person she remembers.
- Patricide: Killed her own father after being brought back to life. A much more sympathetic example due to the many centuries of being a plant-Suit hybrid warping Beanstein's mind.
- She Is All Grown Up: Her age is rather vague throughout the game. After she becomes (mostly) human again in the good ending, we see she's very much a lovely adult woman.
- Transflormation: Being brought back to life more or less turned her into a plant.
- Walking Spoiler: A pretty big one; not only for the reveal that all plants were in fact once the women of the world, but she replaces Jerome for the rest of the game.
Shareholders of the Board of Business
The leaders of Business Planet, whose identities are known by very few Suits. CEO and his crew must Gotta Kill Them All if they wish to free the world from their tyranny.
Tropes that apply to the Shareholders as a whole
- Legion of Doom: The Shareholders of Business Planet, who work under Chairman Thel.
- Leitmotif: A song called "Black Tie Events" plays during their meetings after the end of every chapter.
- Sinister Silhouettes: The Shareholders are shown this way during their meetings. The player won't see what they really look at until they're faced in battle, due to none of them looking anything like their bio reports.
- You Don't Look Like You: In-Universe example. None of the Shareholders look like the photos on the printouts you get when you're assigned a Shareholder to kill. Justified, as Suits can be genetically modified at any moment, often to better suit the needs of The Chairman.
Chairman Thel (Spoilers)
The most powerful man on Business Planet
The de facto ruler of Business Planet, who even the Shareholders obey. Little is known about him until much further along in the game.- Berserk Button: Having his leadership or decisions being questioned. Bulby and Recyclese Jr both found this out the hard way.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Given that the creation of Business Planet more or less killed the rest of the human race, it says a lot about him that his brother is still alive and well after all of this time. He never loses patience with him and takes Janitor's questions seriously. Despite this, Thel will still offer CEO to join him even after the latter has already killed Janitor in the previous battle.
- Idiot Hair: Has a tiny cowlick that's visible even in his silhouette.
- One-Winged Angel: Becomes Archangel Thel during the good ending.
- Really 700 Years Old: One of two unaltered humans, aside from no longer aging. He used to work with Jerome until he betrayed him so Thel could establish Earth as Business Planet.
- We Can Rule Together: Just before the final battle, he will offer CEO the chance to join him in selling Business Planet to a high bidder for great power. Whether the CEO agrees or not is up to the player, as long as CEO isn't fully corrupted.
- You Have Failed Me: After The Dingo dies, he holds Prittentio responsible for failing to locate and eliminate CEO. Prittentio is fired on the spot by Thel and we find out much later that he sold Prittentio to the Genus circus.
The Janitor
Always ready with mop in hand and quip in mouth.
Brother to The Chairman, and Janitor CEO.
- Affectionate Nickname: Other Suits, including the other Shareholders except The Chairman, have a tendency to call him "Uncle Janitor", due to his relationship with The Chairman.
- Almighty Janitor: Played with. Janitor appears to be an actual janitor. But he's still a Shareholder and not only does that means he's strong, but he still has a say in how Business Planet is run.
- Deadpan Snarker: Tends to reply to most news with a quip or joke. When CEO was created as the first successfully viable suit, Janitor simply asked if Thel could make copies of him to make Janitor's work easier.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Janitor is only ever called "Janitor". Even in battle, he's referred to as "Uncle Janitor" and you never get to find out his real name like you do for most of the Shareholders.
- Making a Splash: Janitor has water-based powers.
- Pungeon Master: A part of his snarky nature and sense of humor.
- Really 700 Years Old: He was there to witness the creation of CEO. Presumedly he was once human like Thel but between then and now has been modified into a Suit.
- Was Once a Man: He looks like a standard Suit. But since he's the brother of The Chairman, who is still human, it's safe to assume that Janitor was also human before being modified into a Suit.
- The Watson: Often asks the important questions during meetings. The Chairman is always happy to answer his inquisitive brother.
Bradley Prittentio
Didn't predict what could happen to him if he failed.
A Shareholder in charge of predicting market trends and reporting the results of the stock market.- Eyes Do Not Belong There: Has at least four eyes over his perfectly spherical head. It's not clear if he was always like this or if this was the result of being modified into a clown.
- Fighting Clown: Quite literally as Performio. He can buff his stats and debuff the party by playing instruments and dancing. He can often one-shot a party member by spraying them with a squirting flower gag.
- Lean and Mean: He was always exceptionally scrawny for a Suit. It's only after being modified into a clown that he really gains the "mean" part. After CEO kills him, some Suits working at the circus express relief at no longer having to deal with him.
- Meaningful Rename: Introduced as Bradley Performio after you kill the previous carnies. Interestingly enough, the last time the circus was in Genus, they had a simulation of Performio, indicating his concept was being seriously considered. Prittentio just had the misfortune of becoming the real thing.
- Monster Clown: Well, not at first. After being fired by The Chairman, he's genetically modified into one. He's more than a little upset at his situation
- Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: "I'll kill you all for what you did to me! I'll kill everything!" Also doubles as his last words.
- Sanity Slippage: Becoming Performio hasn't done any favors to his mental health, according to the diary he drops after being killed in battle. The first thing he does after being introduced by his new name is to declare he won't forget his real name and confirms he's really Prittentio.
- The Unfought: Subverted. At first, he's fired by The Chairman for failing to find and contain CEO and for the death of The Dingo. He appears much later in the game as one of the genetically modified performers at the Genus Circus and blames CEO for his fate, wanting revenge and engaging him in battle.
Floyd "The Dingo"
Hmm... looks familiar somehow...
Click here to see The Dingo in battle
Old friend recyled into new foe
A monstrous, werewolf-like Shareholder in charge of managing Stocksford.
- Dying as Yourself: After being defeated in battle, Floyd regains enough of his sanity to warn CEO that The Chairman is after him before dying.
- Forgotten Friend, New Foe: CEO doesn't recognize The Dingo was once his friend until just before The Dingo attacks him in rage.
- We Used to Be Friends: Used to be a talented Suit that was assigned to CEO to help him run Suits City. Tragically, CEO doesn't remember who Floyd is until just before fighting him and Floyd is too far gone as The Dingo to properly talk before the fight.
Charles Tendies
Does this guy ever actually attend meetings in person?
One has to wonder if even the other Shareholders know what he looks like.
Click here to see VR Man in battle
Where's the last time this guy walked? ...or bathed?
Charles Tendies AKA VR Man is an elusive Suit who prefers to attend all meetings by webcam and is in charge of managing Business Planet's internet and surveillance systems. He uses robotic personas in order to spy on and/or trick Suits to do his bidding.
- Bait-and-Switch Boss: To himself. After reaching the end of Tiptopolis, you come across a Shareholder you've never heard of named Threads, who goes down easily. Cue Charles Tendies coming down and facing you himself, revealing that Threads was one of his personas.
- Brain Uploading: The real Charles Tendies uploaded a copy of his mind to the net a very long time ago before creating a clone of himself and then taking his own life. See Dead All Along below.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Played with. Tendies never fails to go through his Shareholder responsibilities, but he's also too lazy to even walk, preferring to being carried by a custom drone.
- Dead All Along: The real Charles Tendies, has been dead long before the start of even the first game. Charles uploaded a copy of himself to reside on the net of Business Planet and created a clone, VR Man, to perform maintenance before killing himself. We don't find out about this until very late in the game, from Recycles Jr. before he dies.
- Do Not Call Me "Paul": Prefers to be called VR Man.
- Evil Smells Bad: Upon meeting him, Guy says he's a "smelly man-child".
- Fat Bastard: Turns out to be a very fat Suit.
- Hikikomori: Tendies is a shut-in to the point that even his assigned bio has no photo and never leaves his hidden lair.
- Let's You and Him Fight: The Leader of the Collectivist moment from the first game was actually one of his personas. He manipulated Guy and Jerome into attacking CEO since the Board feared he was plotting against the Shareholders. They were right.
- The Man Behind the Curtain: Inverted. If fighting Threads is any indication, most of his personas aren't very strong. VR Man, however, is a decent boss fight.
- Properly Paranoid: After The Dingo is killed, VR Man freaks out and worries he might be next to be killed and they could be after any of Shareholders. He's right. The goal is to kill all of the Shareholders and he's next on the hit list.
- Psychopathic Manchild: Downplayed. He doesn't have much childish innocent to him, but he does have some immature qualities, such as throwing temper tantrums over things like being called his real name or people not knowing who he is, despite being self-isolated 24/7.
- Too Important to Walk: When he finally faces you for real, he's held up by a flying drone.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Fried chicken tenders, to the point that he's named after them, eats one before dying and saying goodbye to his favorite food, and he leaves a recipe for them the player can read after dying.
Kyle Beanstein
Proud father and leading caffeine scientist.
Click to see Beanstein in battle
"He is more plant now than man. Twisted and evil".
Click to see Beanstein's second battle form
You didn't think it'll be that easy, did you?
An elusive Suit responsible for keeping the coffee flowing from Beanus. Never attends a meeting in-game due to his secretive nature.
- Death by Irony: Successfully brought his daughter back to life, only to immediately be killed by her.
- Enemy Summoner: Can summon plants that will grow and explode, dealing damage to the party if they aren't killed fast enough.
- Functional Addict: His addiction to drinking coffee was his only real vice before being transformed into a Suit. His love of coffee was used against him with a spiked mug.
- Killed Mid-Sentence: Killed while expressing joy that his machine finally brought his daughter back to life.
- Mad Scientist: Not as accomplished as Thinkus but respected nonetheless.
- Mental Handicap, Moral Deficiency: According to his bio, he suffers from dementia.
- Necromantic: Seeks to bring his daughter back to life. He succeeds, only to die himself when she mercy kills him.
- Plant Person: A plant-Suit hybrid. Was most likely human before his forced transformation.
- Really 700 Years Old: A conversation with Eve and his own diary entry suggests he was once human before being tricked into turning into a Suit.
- Verbal Tic: Replaces some words with "beans" when talking.
- Wake-Up Call Boss: The first Shareholder to have a corrupted form and summon minions to help him fight in battle.
- Was Once a Man: It's heavily implied, if not outright confirmed, that Beanstein was once human and was turned into a plant-Suit hybrid with spiked coffee given to him by none other than Thel himself.
Bulby, Master of Illumination
Always ready to keep the lights on and the power flowing!
A Shareholder in charge of keeping Business Planet well lit and powered.- Boom, Headshot!: The Chairman kills Bulby this way.
- Functional Addict: Freaks out when Beanus is destroyed, wailing that coffee was the only thing keeping him going.
- Mood-Swinger: While cheerful during the first meeting shown in the game, Bulby can cycle through depression and freaking out at the drop of a hat with little to no warning.
- Nervous Wreck: Starts the game as optimistic but increasing becomes this with every Shareholder that dies. The death of Beanstein and the destruction of Beanus was the last straw and he has a freak out that prompts The Chairman to kill him on the spot.
- Non-Human Head: His head is a literal glass light bulb. Also shatters like one when he's shot through the head by The Chairman.
- The Unfought: The Chairman kills him during a meeting, removing the need for CEO to take him out.
Paul Peters
...what does this guy do here again?
Little is known about this new Shareholder. Hired recently after Beanstein is defeated by CEO and subsequently killed by Eve.
- Pet the Dog: The only Shareholder who expresses condolences to Recyclese Jr. about his father being killed by CEO. He still drops the topic after that.
- Remember the New Guy?: Shows up in the next meeting after Beanstein is killed. It's not clear if he was always a Shareholder who simply hadn't appeared yet or if he's a brand new Shareholder until The Chairman remarks much later in the game that Peter will do well in the company, suggesting he's a new addition.
- Wolfpack Boss: Fights with the Janitor and the Chairman during the penultimate boss fight.
- Yes-Man: Is literally a puppet on strings.
Recyclese
From left to right, top to bottom:Kyle Reece (Recyclese), Yusef Reece (Reuseo), and Dewey Reece (Reduceus)
Click to see what Recyclese looks from the outside.
The last thing a doomed Suit might see.
Click to see Recyclese in battle.
Click to see Recyclese's 1st corrupted form.
Click to see Recyclese's 2nd corrupted form.
Three brothers that collectively form Recyclese, a massive being responsible for destroying and repurposing cities that no longer meet expected profit margins.
- Eldritch Abomination: Even before they become corrupted in battle, they control a massive thing that eats entire Cities to repurpose them, their insides filled with monstrous Suits designed to do just that.
- Energy Beings: Their second Corrupted form has them become a monster of pure energy.
- Genius Loci: A massive monster whose insides are filled with dangerous monsters. The side quests in Gamerica involve destroying various monsters and freeing the citizens to weaken Recyclese enough before the battle.
- Final Solution: Essentially his job title. Cities that underperform or otherwise have undesirable elements are consumed by him and repurposed into a more desirable form.
- Mook Maker: Quite literally. Suits trapped inside are either turned into Meat Men to work as slaves in various factories around Business Planet or, if they're "lucky", have the honor of becoming new Harvesters to assist him in recycling canceled cities.
- Our Hydras Are Different: The form they take in battle is a three-headed hydra appearing outside of a warp gate, though interestingly they have separate torsos. Their first Corrupted form involves two of the heads becoming arms.
Recyclese Jr
Always keeps his father ready for the next job.
A young Suit that seems to represent his father in Shareholder meetings and making sure that Recyclese is kept on task.- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He's understandably upset when he finds out that Recyclese was killed by CEO. He calls out the remaining Shareholders for not being more upset or at least having a moment of silence.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Felt sadness that The Chairman's ultimate plan would involve abandoning Business Planet and every Suit on it. Recycling cities is one thing, but selling off the entire planet was a step too far for him. Objecting to this plan is possibly why he's found missing an arm when CEO finally meets him.
- The Load: The Chairman increasingly considers Recyclese Jr to be this after Recyclese is killed. He even points out that Recyclese Jr is lucky that The Chairman doesn't just kill him on the spot for losing his only role in the company.
- The Unfought: Never engages CEO in battle. Instead, he's seen dying in front of the building just before the penultimate boss fight and missing an arm for some unknown reason, though his interactions previously made it clear he was having second thoughts due to the death of Recycles and his brothers and was punished for his sympathies. He gives a bit more exposition about the nature of one of the previously defeated Shareholders, Charles Tendies, and asks CEO to finish off the remaining Shareholders before vanishing himself.
General Biggus Thinkus
Possibly the smartest Suit alive.
This Brian Thinkus looks normal enough.
Shareholder of Genus, and a brainy Suit who claims to be the most intelligent being on the planet.
- Affably Evil: A genuinely pleasant, friendly, and kind person that's super nice to his employees who just happens to be a Mad Scientist and a Shareholder.
- Badass Boast: "I am Biggus Thinkus. The world's most intelligent being. I know everything!"
- Badass Bookworm: Thinkus isn't to be underestimated by his looks. Out of all the Shareholders fought on Business Planet, he has the highest HP, some nasty attacks, and can become corrupted for more power twice.
- Benevolent Boss: Thinkus genuinely loves his employees, affectionally calling them his "little geniuses". When he mistakes the readings on the attack on Genus by CEO as his employees making the facility more efficient, he even bakes them cookies for them to celebrate. He's understandably more than a little upset when he realizes what CEO and crew have actually done to the place and many of his workers.
- Black Bead Eyes: He has these instead of the much more common Black Eyes of Crazy that most of the characters have, though he used to have the latter judging by his bio report.
- Closet Geek: After defeating Thinkus in combat, you have the option to go through his room. Turns out he was a gamer too. CEO remarks that his computer has enough games to fund half of Gamerica's video game industry.
- Failed a Spot Check: For someone who claims to be "the world's most intelligent being", he sure as hell ain't smart enough to realize what the CEO and company have been doing in Genus, somehow reading all the destruction as "increased productivity". If you think it's a trick, he comes out with cookies as promised, and it's only then when he realizes what's really been happening to Genus.
- Labcoat of Science and Medicine: Wears one that's long enough to drape on the ground.
- Mad Scientist: Albeit a much more stable and nicer take compared to the usual depiction.
- My Brain Is Big: Biggus Thinkus is a short, chubby Suit with most of his height in his oversized cranium. Exaggerated in this first corrupted form, where he's little more than a giant brain.
- Rich Genius: Being both a Shareholder and a scientist makes him one by default.
Other Antagonists
Trash Island
Crat King
A monster with delusional ambitions.
Half rat, half crab, and half king. Seeks to rule the world.
- Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: There's no build-up or foreshadowing to his arrival. The ground simply shakes and he angrily appears, demanding to know why CEO and Agent J are trespassing on HIS island.
- Goal in Life: To conquer Business Planet. Too bad he's so weak, he has the lowest HP of any enemy in the game.
- Mix-and-Match Critters: A half rat, half crab monstrosity. The "half king" part isn't really official.
- Too Many Halves: Calls himself "Half rat, half crab, and half king." Apparently, he doesn't know what "thirds" are.
- Warmup Boss: To the point that he's the very first battle in the game. Even though CEO starts out with no armor or weapons, he can still easily mow down Crat King with no problems.
- Zero-Effort Boss: Given that you can't skip turns in this game, it might actually be impossible to lose to Crat King.
Stocksford
IA Agent
When Suits do either too well or too poorly, these guys aren't far behind.
Suit agent of Internal Affairs, who confronts the CEO before he can board the train to Stocksford.
- Degraded Boss: Multiple agents are faced while traversing the IA Office in Lube City. In an interesting twist, the IA agents found in Lube City are actually stronger than the one faced at the Hub Hotel. Unfortunately for them, you're not alone and also much stronger.
- Sinister Shades: Part of the official IA uniform.
- Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Averted. The IA agents found in Lube City are more powerful than the junior agent fought at the Hub Hotel. Still not too much of a threat to CEO by then, though.
Jumbo Check
See if you can put your money where your cash is with this guy.
There is a certain Suit named Grandler Tippins that'll always give you a buck every time you talk to him. Talk to him too many times and then you'll have to face this guy. Thankfully, you only have to do it once. After that, Grandler Tippins will continue to give you money if you talk to him.
- Skippable Boss: He's only fought if you speak to Grandler Tippins enough times.
The ATM
Got to put those tiny Suits to work somehow.
A machine that was designed to replace Stockford's bank tellers. Except it's not a machine; it's a mech run by a tiny Suit. Guards the way into the Dive.
- Mini-Mecha: Exaggerated. It's smaller than CEO and the driver is about the size of an action figure.
James Thugly & CD Baster
Ready to eat a knuckle sandwich?
Don't underestimate little guys... especially if they have their big friend with them.
Two crooks who are regularly foiled by the local hero Dead Drop. Except it's all a scam to split the money with Dead Drop from the "rescues".
- Engineered Heroics: They were only working with Dead Drop to make money while he got to be a hero. They get sick of it though, and opt to kill him due to their street cred being tarnished.
- Protection Racket: They were in fact in one the whole time. Target Suits for cash, only to be chased off by Dead Drop and split the money earned with him.
- Skippable Boss: If you don't go through Bush's request, you'll never have to face them.
Bush
Attacks anyone who finds out his secret shame of being half-bush.
A journalist who hides in a bush, trying to find dirt on the hero Dead Drop.
- Jumpscare: When going into his room, it's completely dark. When the CEO turns the lights on, cue a corrupted Bush attacking him out of nowhere.
- Plant Person: Appears to be a strange Suit-bush hybrid.
- Playing with Fire: Can "Burn his bush" to attack both you and himself for damage.
- Skippable Boss: You only fight him if you take him up on his quest offer and see it through.
Tax Man
Talking to the hand might be the last thing you do.
A ruthless Suit that serves as the head tax collector in Stocksford.
- Skippable Boss: You can either pick a fight with him when he threatens a pair of Suits, or do nothing and let him kill them. There's even an achievement for both options.
- Overly Long Name: A Portrait in his office reads "Fogelschlegelstienhausenbergerty Jolopy 'The Tax Man' Taxman XXXVI".
Count Succula
How does he fly with such tiny wings?
Click here to see his corrupted form
Must have sucked some tainted blood
A vampiric Suit that runs the blood donation clinic in Stocksford... and always skims some from the top.
- Cyclops: Turns into one after he becomes corrupted.
- Fat Bastard: A stumpy, pudgy vampire skimming from blood donations.
- Skippable Boss: You can skip fighting him entirely if you avoid the blood donation clinic.
Swamp Boi
Careful, those hands most certainly bite.
A strange Suit with alligators for hands. Can be found in The Dive if CEO always sticks to the center path.
- Evil Smells Bad: The first thing CEO does when entering the room is to ask what is that awful smell. Considering he's in the middle of a sewer, one must imagine just how bad Swamp Boi's odor is.
- Skippable Boss: If you don't take the center path at the right junction, you'll never have to face him.
Stinky Pete
Time to show some mercy and put him down.
A Suit who went on a heist gone bad. Got lost in the sewers of Stocksford and slowly went mad. CEO sees killing him as a kindness at this point.
- I'm a Humanitarian: Flat out brags that he loves the taste of human flesh.
- It's All My Fault: His diary, which was written when he was still sane, shows that he blames himself for getting him and his friends lost in the sewers, even though it was really Sherman Yanks who made sure of that.
- Meaningful Name: If those stink lines on his battle sprite are any indication, he really is a stinky Suit now.
- Skippable Boss: If you don't take the center path at the right junction, you'll never have to face him.
Sherman Yanks
He'll do anything to make his father love him.
An unfortunate Suit unloved by his father, and found deep within the Dive.- If I Can't Have You…: His note reveals that he was the one who got Pete lost in the Dive, because his father saw Pete as the son he never had.
- Tragic Dream: Wants his father to love and respect him. Unfortunately for him, his dad just wants him dead.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Sherman is desperate to be loved by his father, who flat out tells CEO that Sherman is a "loser" and wants him dead to bank in on the insurance check. To gamble.
Stock Man
SHOW ME THE STOCKS!
A deranged Suit obsessed with the stock market. These Suits will attack CEO with no provocation.
Penny Bat
Careful, you don't want this coin flipped.
Half-bat, half-penny, these creatures haunt the basement of the Stocksford Exchange building.
Receipt Snake
"Receipt snakes. Why did it have to be receipt snakes."
These territorial pieces of paper can be found slithering the basement of the Stocksford Exchange building.
Cash Golem
Does he eat money to live?
A living pile of money that blocks the way into the the Dingo's building
P. B. Banks
If you don't make the cut, prepare for a hoof in your face.
A living piggy bank that helps run the Stocksford trading floor as the exchange manager. He's very selective of who he hires. Those who don't make the cut, well...
- Fat Bastard: Strangely, his overworld sprite is much fatter than his battle sprite.
- #1 Dime: Mr. Banks apparently used to be the piggy bank that Thel would save his change every night before bed when the latter was still a child. How he became living or whether or not Chairman Thel still has any sentimental feelings about P. B. Banks isn't made clear.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Roasted Hemlock.
Docksford/Tiptopolis
Lotto Johnson
If you can see this, he's already dead.
A lucky Suit that won a ticket to Tiptopolis. Can be killed to claim said ticket.
- Skippable Boss: Only way to get into a fight with him is to punch him. Even then, he never fights back because, as the battle text says, he's not even aware of the situation.
- Zero-Effort Boss: It's less of a fight and more of a dick move; kill the Suit for just his one ticket, or spare him and be forced to work around Docksford.
Locked Door/SPI-Door
A totally normal door. Nothing to see here.
Click here to see its true form
Finally accepted as an honorary spider.
A lock door that is also a spider monster.- Skippable Boss: You'll only have to fight him if you knock on him. And the only reason you'll end up doing that is if you agree to help the citizens of Docksford.
Chadley Longjohnson
If two heads are better than one, three heads must be even better!
A Chad Suit who stole a plant from a loser suit.
- Good All Along: His note reveals that he's actually a good guy who recused the plant from the Suit he took it from.
- Horned Humanoid: All three head have a single horn.
- Multiple Head Case: Has three heads.
- Poor Communication Kills: Had he just explained to CEO why he had to steal the plant in the first place, he might have convinced CEO to just leave him be. Instead, he had to trash talk CEO and sealed his fate.
- Skippable Boss: You'll only fight him if you agree to get the plant back from him.
Barry the Barrel
Don't you know it's rude to knock on someone's barrel?
A Suit in a barrel with a knack for fishing. He guards the way to his secret stash of bait.
- Skippable Boss: Won't attack you if you don't first punch him.
Fish God
Seeks to keep the seas of Docksford safe.
A fish deity who stole a toy from a young Suit.
- Skippable Boss: You'll only face him if you agree to retrieve the toy he stole.
Peeper Narkinson
He sees you! He sees EVERYTHING.
A strange, multi-eyed, busybody Suit that likes to spy on everyone at Docksford.
- Eyes Do Not Belong There: Not only does he have eyes all over his head, but also on the palms of his hands, one on the tip of his tongue, and even one on his tie.
- Hypocrite: Thinks people who don't respect privacy should be severely punished. Doesn't seem to realize that he's guilty of the same thing.
- Skippable Boss: If you don't agree to dispose of a dead body on the request of a suspicious Suit, he won't make a move against you.
Elevator Monster
A horrible amalgamation who lives at the elevator, attacking the CEO when first riding the elevator to Tiptopolis.
Dreamis Queenis
If you want his crown, you have to pry it from his cold, dead, fabulous fingers.
Feisty Drag-Queen of fashion and winner of the annual Tip-Teaser's fashion show for the last 100 cycles.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows
- Camp Gay: Rather obviously. He even writes down an exotic premonition in his diary. It's actually foreshadowing his defat at the hands of CEO.
- Gag Lips: A very downplayed form, but he does have very prominent, pouting lips. They're even on the Steam achievement icon for beating him!
- Green-Eyed Monster: After winning the Tip-Teaser's annual fashion show flawlessly the last 100 cycles, he's more than a little peeved that some random newcomer (CEO) has beaten him.
- Sissy Villain: Downplayed. He might be fabulously campy, but he still has a mean right hook.
- Skippable Boss: If you don't enter the fashion show, he won't have a reason to attack you.
Ze Perfect Man
Do you have what it takes to take on all of THIS?
Member of Ze World's Greatest Family, a ripped and toned Suit who claims to be perfect.
- Cutscene Boss: When first meeting him at Tiptopolis, the fight against him ends with him sparing you before recommending that you train with Fisty Clenchman before facing him again at Genus. Which is good, because he was a Hopeless Boss Fight otherwise.
- Mr. Fanservice: If you like big, beefy men without shirts, he's your Suit!
- Skippable Boss: He won't attack you unless you speak with him first.
- Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Averted hard. He's later fought as part of the battle against the Z.W.G.F. in Genus if CEO runs into his family meeting. If you're unfortunate enough for Ze Perfect Man to be spawned during the fight, he has more attacks, better stats, and his HP is a whooping 27,000, as opposed to his already impressive 9,999 he had in Tiptopolis.
Fisty Clenchman
Are you man enough to face him in honorable combat?
- Skippable Boss: You can simply not fight him at all. But why would you want to do that?
CEO-Bot
He wished it didn't have to come to this.
Click to see CEO-Bot's corrupted form
Am I a real Suit now?
The current CEO of Tiptopolis. Eager to make a good impression on newcomers.
- I Just Want to Have Friends: Desperately wants to be respected and have friends, despite being a robot.
- Ridiculously Human Robots: To the point that he desires friends and has to read books on how to cope with loneliness.
Shareholder Threads
The leader of Tiptopolis, apparently. He isn't.
Shareholder of fashion and of Tiptopolis. Except he's not really a Shareholder.
- Zero-Effort Boss: You would have to put in actual effort to lose to him. A lucky enough player can beat him in only one move before he has a chance to fight back.
Beanus/Eden
Big Mugger
Ready to get back to work, starting with you!
A big, living coffee mug that once robbed Suits, taking both their money and lives with impunity. He was imprisoned inside The World's Biggest Mug at Hottowa until ICER agents blew it up as an act of terrorism against Hottowa, oblivious of the criminal that was trapped within. Attacks CEO and crew if they take a closer look at the remains of the Mug.
- Lack of Empathy: Doesn't understand why Suits would be angry with him robbing Suits and killing them.
- Skippable Boss: If you don't take a closer look at the remains of The World's Biggest Mug, he won't attack you.
- Tailor-Made Prison: The World's Biggest Mug wasn't just Hottowa's monument to the glory of hot coffee; it was also built to keep him from escaping and continuing his crime spree. It was working as intended and he was close to considering taking his own life when he heard a curious ticking sound...
Chef A. LaPodd
Ready to serve the best dish of his life: HIMSELF
- Skippable Boss: He won't attack you if you don't speak to him.
- Supreme Chef: Apparently worked as one long enough that the only way to beat his own career is to serve himself as the ultimate dish.
Steve Apple
His products are buggy, but don't tell him that.
A Suit with an apple-shaped head that sells various high tech equipment, their most popular items being smart sweaters. Too bad they are often buggy and need repairs as soon as they're bought.
- Badass Bookworm: He's willing to throw down if you make him angry enough.
- Berserk Button: Telling him his products suck, even though that's arguably true.
- Epic Flail: Fights with a flail that resembles a pineapple.
- Skippable Boss: He won't fight you if you don't take on the request of the owner of the Hottowa repair shop.
- Take That!: Obviously making fun of Steve Jobs and the Apple company at large.
The Publisher
The truth will set you free. But it'll apparently also make you buff too.
- Skippable Boss: He won't attack you if you don't speak to him.
- Poor Communication Kills: Or rather, Poor Communication Gets You Beat Up. He mistakes you for one of the Shareholders' minions and attacks you (in his mind) out of self-defense. After losing, he chooses to Face Death with Dignity until CEO and crew confirm they are NOT out to kill him. He's quite relieved to finally hear that.
Pencil Pusher
Use pencils or die!
- Non-Human Head: His head is a literal pencil.
- Serious Business: Wants people to use pencils instead of pens to the point of killing anyone who tries to take back the special ink he stole.
- Skippable Boss: He won't fight you if you don't agree to retrieve the special ink.
Yuri G.
As good of a fighter as he is a writer. He's apparently a very good writer.
Careful: this ink is very volatile.
Formerly worked in Suits City as a TV scriptwriter in their entertainment sector. He was quite good at it, but the work left a bad taste in his mouth because of the mediocre topics he was ordered to write about from his superiors. He left to visit the Writers' Guild in Coldova, just before Suits City was recycled. With nowhere else to go, he chooses to remain in the Guild, finally being able to write the stories he always dreamed up.
- Skippable Boss: He offers the chance to fight him as a friendly spar; you won't even die if you lose to him, nor will he die if you beat him. Still, you could always choose not to fight him.
Ze Hottest Man
Quite literally the hottest Suit alive.
A member of Ze Greatest Family. A toned suit that's perpetually on fire and keeps Hottowa hot and steamy from inside their climate control facility.
- Mr. Fanservice: Slender yet toned and never wears a shirt.
- Skippable Boss: You won't have to face him if you don't agree to help the ICERS.
- Wreathed in Flames: Both his claim to fame and how he keeps Hottowa hot all the time.
Mr. Freezy Breeze
A kind-hearted but lonely suit that's responsible for keeping Coldova below freezing all year long from his station at their climate control facility.
- Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: His diary shows he's afraid this might be happening to him, though actually talking to him shows he's actually averting this, even if he doesn't realize it.
- Cyborg: Parodied. Most of his mechanical parts are also refrigeration parts.
- Expy: A parody Of DC's Mr. Freeze, only while Mr. Freeze is a callous and cold-hearted fiend obsessed with revenge, Mr. Freezy Breeze is actually a warm-hearted Suit hoping to meet others who like the snow as much as he does.
- Skippable Boss: He'll only fight you if you say you hate snow or punch him.
Fan Tom
Still has business in life, even if his is over.
In life, he was a member of Ze Greatest Family and was known as Whistling Tom, Ze Coolest Man. Making his fortune as a movie star and later as a fan store owner in Hottowa, his restless spirit lingers on inside his shop, still wanting to leave his mark on Business Planet.
- Skippable Boss: The only reason you would have to fight him is to get the fan lube from his shop. You can't even open his shop's door until the ICERS specifically tells you to go to his shop.
HE-Tor
Safaripede
Always ready to document fascinating specimens.
Meat Men
If Suits fails to meet their financial goals or are otherwise fired and aren't lucky enough to simply be executed on the spot, this is the fate they experienced. Recycled into these monstrosities, Meat Men are hapless, simple-minded creatures who are forced to work as slaves. The more peaceful ones simply wish to continue working, while the more aggressive ones will attack anyone who gets too close to them. They are found throughout Business Planet working behind the scenes in various factories but CEO and crew will encounter some on their way to Eden.
- Body Horror: Just look at the poor SOBs!
- Mental Handicap, Moral Deficiency: It can be argued that the ones that do attack CEO aren't really aware of what they're doing.
- Skippable Boss: You can avoid fighting them if you watch out which trees you punch through on the way to Beanstein's lab.
Ghosts
Sadly, the only way to put these ladies to rest is through force.
Dolores Johnson wants to know what's happening to her.
Evelyn Beanstein: Daddy, where are they taking me?!
The vengeful ghosts of girls and women whose souls have been deprived of their rest by Beansteins's most recent experiments. The only way to lay them back to rest is a show of force.
- Jumpscare: You confront Evelyn's ghost while going down an elevator.
- The Reveal: Turns out there's a good reason why all plants have the names of women...
- Skippable Boss: The cluster of ghosts only fight you if you talk to the friendly Meat Man standing near the small graveyard in Eden. However, the ghosts of Dolores Johnson and Evelyn Beanstein will always fight you.
Headmaster
One has to wonder how much worse headaches are for him.
Both far more intelligent and ruthless than his fellow Meat Men, this recycled Suit is in charge of keeping the Meat Men at Eden on their tasks. He is actually quite proud of his multiple heads, which he claims allows him to better manage the Meat Men under his employ.
- Berserk Button: Meat Men failing at their tasks and people calling him weird.
- Freakiness Shame: Averted. Headmaster doesn't think he looks weird and consider his multiple heads a blessing since he can watch over his employees better than if he only had one.
- Multiple Head Case: Averted. Only the face on the stomach seems to talk. The other heads on his body are little more than additional limbs for him to manipulate.
- Shout-Out: Only appears on their map sprite, but the head on top of their coat looks an awful lot like Kilroy of WWII fame.
EX-Terminator
Truthfully, he wished it didn't had to come to this.
Once a member of the vermin extermination force, he was the first and only Suit to voluntarily quit due to the nature of the job wearing on him. He took on a security detail in Eden, believing that the chance of having to actually enforce security lethally would be rather low.
- Skippable Boss: He'll only fight you if you say you're not there to deliver his package. That said, you can say yes to get his package and then punch him to still have the option of fighting him.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Even though he left the exterminating force because he started hating killing things, you can find his secret diary in his office where he admits that not only he doesn't consider Meat Men to be truly alive, he's actually killed a couple of them without any remorse.
Lube City/Gamerica
Ze Most Internal Man
Member of the Ze World's Greatest Family and boss of the Internal Affairs, who visits Lube City's newest IA Office to oversee its construction. Hates being reminded that he's balding.
- Bald of Evil: Or rather, balding of evil, which he'll wish everyone would stop bringing up constantly.
- Berserk Button: Mention his balding and he'll probably kill you.
- Butt-Monkey: A big one: people won't stop mentioning his balding problem, the office he's forced to constructed is in the middle of a joke town, not many treat him with respect, and he doesn't even have a form to fight against, even as Z.W.G.F.
- Genre Savvy: He's very aware that anyone who opposes CEO tends to die, so he decides the best way to survive is simply to run back home to Genus. Interestingly, it seemed like CEO would have spared him had he simply told what he knew about the situation with Recyclese but Most Internal also feared that if he did that, he would be punished for committing treason against the Shareholders.
- "Get Back Here!" Boss: To the point that you can never catch him. After he runs away, he's always one screen ahead of you and you don't even see him again unless you visit the Z.W.G.F.'s home in Genus.
- Noodle Incident: Something happened to him when he was a kid that has absolutely nothing to do with his current anger problems.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After immediately recognizing who CEO is on sight, he shortly runs away to an escape tube.
- Sinister Shades: As the head of Internal Affairs, it only make sense he would wear these too.
- Suspiciously Specific Denial: After killing a subordinate who accidentally brings up his balding, he immediately screams out, "AND, NO, THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IN CHILDHOOD!"
- Take a Third Option: He could fight the CEO and die in the process or tell CEO what he wanted to know and possibly be punished for aiding the enemy. Instead, he decides to run away and get out of Lube City altogether.
- The Unfought: You never fight him at the office; he gets out of there rather than deal with you and your party's comments about his head.
- Villain Has a Point: He's right that the overwhelming number of Suits are bald. Then again, he's balding, which is still different from most Suits.
- Younger Than They Look: His balding problem makes the CEO mistake him for someone old; he's only 25 cycles old. Interestingly, he's still the oldest member of Ze World's Greatest Family.
Regional IA Manager
"Why doesn't anyone ever listen to me?"
Head of Lube City's IA office. Doesn't get much respect though.
- Butt-Monkey: An even bigger one then Ze World's Most Internal Man, whose a big one; he doesn't even finish his sentence before the fight with him starts.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: Annoyed that Most Internal ran through his office without so much as a word and frustrated that CEO and his crew is treating him like a regular mook.
- King Mook: Essentially a tougher version of the common Internal Affairs agent.
- Poor Communication Kills: Had he took the time to listen, he could have simply stepped to the side and let CEO on through. Instead, him throwing a fit convinces Eve that simply killing him would be the best way to get back to chasing Most Internal.
- Shock and Awe: Both attacks with and powered by electricity.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Acts like and believes himself to be a big shot just because he's the regional manager, when really he's just a slightly bigger cog among millions of other cogs, just like every other Suit on Business Planet.
- Sinister Shades: But of course.

- Shock and Awe: As expected of two electrical beings.
The Censor
Swear at your own peril.
An agent of Recyclese's, sent to spread fear in gamers, serving as a white knight who kills all who cuss.
- Skippable Boss: Only fights you if you confront him at the gamer cafe.
- Serious Business: Hates swearing so much, that he sewed his own lips shut so he wouldn't be tempted to swear himself. He thinks that new Suits should come pre-censored.
Wifi Leech
Take his word for it; he sucks really good!
An agent of Recyclese's, sent to devour all wifi in Gamerica.- Skippable Boss: Will only attack you if you attack the suction tubes where he's draining energy from.
Jack Erman
No, the sprite didn't get flipped through uploading; you play as him in his fight.
A hacker Suit who managed to unlock the secret to hack life itself. The fight with his is... interesting to say the least.
- Geek Physiques: A short, scrawny Suit.
- Poor Communication Kills: If he just listened to CEO, they would have let him leave without a fight.
- Puzzle Boss: You have to use a move that won't kill your party and instead force you to "lose". Rather too easy, actually.
- Skippable Boss: Only fights you if you seek him out.
- Schmuck Bait: Go ahead. Click on that "Pay-2-Win" option that you surely have enough money for now. bad idea; your party will immediately die, giving you a game over. Hope you remembered to save!
- Youthful Freckles: Possibly the only Suit to ever have them.
- Zero-Effort Boss: Unless you face him with the worse gear, your party members will kill him in one shot after you take a turn, thus giving back control over the player characters.
Fanboy
Why does he smell like cheese dust and desperation?
Click to see his corrupted form.
Still not much of a threat.
A Suit who lives in Gamerica's sewers, claiming to be Technomancy Studio's biggest fan, and found only when you destroy all of Technomancy Studio's posters.
- Clipped-Wing Angel: Starts the battle with 5000 HP but his corrupted form only has 1500 HP.
- Power-Up Letdown: The armor you get from his has terrible stats, such as decreasing your attack by a massive 80 points.
- Skippable Boss: Only kidnaps you and fight you if you go out of your way to rip the posters in Gamerica.
Genus
Dr Poppa Squatts
A scientist Suit with indigestion who you run into when first reaching Genus

Ze World's Greatest Family
The combined form of the Ze World's Most Perfect, Hottest, Coolest, and Internal Men when confronting them at their family gathering at Genus.
- Clipped-Wing Angel: Sure, the cutscene image is impressive and it's battle sprite is scary, but it only has 5040 HP. Considering that Ze Perfect Man had 9999 HP back at Tiptopolis and Ze Perfect Man can spawn during the battle with a whooping 27,000 HP, Z.W.G.F. seems to actually be less than the sum of its parts.
- Enemy Summoner: The real power of Z.W.G.F. It can continuously summon and be assisted by two of three bosses, meaning that if the fight drags on long enough, it can be flanked by a combination of Perfect, Hottest, and/or Coolest. Like all battles, the fight doesn't end until the entire enemy team is down, so it isn't unlikely for a player to end the fight defeating Perfect last. Even if you beat one of the other bosses, Z.W.G.F. will just summon them again or one of the others. It's best to focus on Z.W.G.F. first, then mop up the other two to win the fight.
- Skippable Boss: Only fights you if you seek them out in their home in Genus.
Control-P
A massive monster linked to Genus's Printing Station.
-Gula Bosses
A group of monsters that are scattered across the world. Clogula
Can't a guy clog a toliet in peace?!
An alien who lives inside a port-a-potty toilet at the Hub Hotel.
- Skippable Boss: You have to first find the hidden port-a-potty and then chose to unclog it.
Glogula
Still has his honor.
An alien who lives within the sewers at Stocksford.
- Skippable Boss: You have to find his hidden lair first.
Smogula
An alien who lives inside a smoke machine at the Tiptopolis.
- Skippable Boss: Won't attack you if you don't agree to destroy the smoke machine he's living inside of.
Kingula
The mightiest of all Gulas, who sleeps on the Moon until the souls of his children return to him.
- Skippable Boss: Not only can you pass by his cave, but you won't have a choice but to skip him unless you first defeat all of the other -Gula bosses first.
