Geegus is an
extraterrestrial who can shapeshift into any of the eight fighters and use their
moves at will. Geegus wants to destroy the Earth, so the World Heroes
tournament was created to stop Geegus' evil plans. Before the final battle,
Geegus asks for the Champion to fight him with the threat of destroying the
entire planet if he is refused.
Geegus appears in World Heroes 2 as Neo Geegus, the sub-boss of the game.
While it may be a mistranslation, he is also into American politics. In one of
his win quotes in WH2 he comments about his beliefs in Justice and adds that he
feels the Democrats can save America. Geegus' design and abilities may be an
homage to the T-1000 liquid metal cyborg made famous by the Terminator
film series. Geegus also makes a cameo appearance in NeoGeo Battle Coliseum
as part of one of Neo Dio's desperation moves.

Ahh, the shape shifting
character... where have I seen thee before? Everywhere? lol. For many
early 90's fighting games, "the shapeshifter" proved to be a rather quick & easy character design
for either a filler or a boss.
lol. I remember a few "me too" 2D fighters of the 90's (not even
listed on this website) with a character exactly like Geegus... then there's Shang
Tsung, whom is actually interesting.
I guess ADK figured they could get away with a basic shapeshifter design in World
Heroes,
but this design obviously went nowhere fast. No, the cool character art released
20 years after the original release doesn't save him either, lol. If you ask me,
Geegus wasn't a very inspiring boss character
in the World Heroes series. Maybe if his animations were better, he'd be
an interesting design (Twelve proved
that many years later). However, Geegus might have about "3" unique
animations, if that. :/
