Deep in the
continent's forest lived a race of giants with awesome strength. This
half-human, half-plant race was attacked by Death
Adder's army and all but one
were killed. The lone survivor is Green, who predicted the return of Death
Adder and has been preparing for it for many years.
When Green heard of
the Golden Axe tale, he knew the chance to meet Death Adder face-to-face was
near. Green has not forgotten the lovely Maria, who helped him escape Death
Adder's clutches. Sadly, Maria disappeared after freeing Green, though he has
heard she is still alive. This half-human giant hopes to defeat Death Adder in
the coming battles, and through victory have his name spread far. Perhaps
Maria can then find him once again...

How did you know this page was going to be green? FUN FACT: Squint your eyes and you'll see Blanka. ^o^ I can hear the devs in 1993-1994:
"Hmm, we need a green guy. A BIG green guy. Yeah!" lol. And thus,
Shrek's evil cousin was born in Golden Axe: The Duel. To his credit, Mr.
Green somehow manages to be one of the most eye-catching characters in The Duel, especially
when onscreen. He's indeed "the big guy" of the Golden Axe: The
Duel, and his large 2D sprite towers over others in the game. Though a color scheme rip-off of sorts, how is he almost cool? Heh.
Green's normal attacks and "plant-based" specials are pretty cool. I bet he eats an organic diet like me. His super
move where he spins around as spikes come out of his arms is pretty well-animated for the time. Overall... Green is an obnoxious, attention-getting character. Once again, he definitely favors Blanka, and I think that was part of the dev's design choice. "Make him so that if you squint, you'll see Blanka." Nice marketing strategy. ;)
