Debut: Punch-Out!! (1984)
Bald Bull is a recurring character in the Punch-Out!! series, best known for his Bull Charge attack.
Bald Bull has made the most video game appearances out of any of the Punch-Out!! boxers, even putting Glass Joe to shame. Bald Bull first appeared as the third opponent in the 1984 arcade version of Punch-Out!!, and returns in 1987’s Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!. Bald Bull makes another comeback on the SNES in 1994’s Super Punch-Out!! as the Minor Circuit Champion. Bald Bull can also be found in a cameo appearance as Mask X in the 1985 arcade game Arm Wrestling. Bald Bull has also appeared as a Hasbro Action Figure and in a Topps trading card series. Most recently, Bald Bull appeared in the Punch-Out Wii game in 2009.
Nicknamed "The Reckless Bald Bull", Bald Bull has become a video game icon and has earned a special place in the world of Nintendo (up there with Glass Joe and King Hippo), most recently making a return as a Spirit in Ultimate.
