With victory in the tournament, Combo has finally achieved his ambition to regain his lost fortune and popular status. Furious and humiliated, Combo returns to his old ghetto haunts and vows to defy the world at large in reaching the top once more. Who performed the operation sells his story to the media. Having blown most of his cash on titanium arm implants to ensure that the title remained his, Combo is stripped of his belt, wealth and public respect when the Ultratech surgeon "Combo" Garrett is brought crashing down by his own overwhelming greed. Having to fight his way from a seedy backstreet gym to the world heavyweight title through sheer raw power and aggression, after 5 years at the top T. He was stripped of his title for his use of cybernetic enhancements in his arms, he fights to regain his lost fame and fortune. TJ Combo was once the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world for five years straight. The serum also causes the scars along his arms to glow blue when he is in Instinct Mode. He is also still under the effects of an Ultratech serum that helped his body adjust to the bionics years ago, which now allows him to pull off impressive feats of speed and strength. Also being an MMA fighter, he also has a much more varied moveset than just jabs and punches. In the rebooted universe however, his bionics have been removed in order to help show his true human strength. In the original universe, his bionic arm implants gave him punching power far beyond the average human and allows him to go toe-to-toe with all kinds of inhuman opponents.
Overall, TJ is a true example of the undying American spirit, shown heavily in his default costumes, which invoke the simple red, white and blue color scheme.Ĭombo is quite a skilled, brutal, and agile fighter with his boxing style. Despite his life revolving around seeking fame, fortune and revenge, he recognizes that what is truly important in the battle against Ultratech is saving the world. He has to push himself to get back up when he falls, but he realizes that if he doesn’t get back up, he won’t go anywhere at all. Prior to his fall from grace, he was even more cocky than he is presently, but after his humbling defeat at the hands of Ultratech, he was a broken man for many years before finally building up the courage and resolve to fight back. Hard.ĭescribed as someone who was born to win but hates to lose, TJ Combo is a strong, brash and arrogant man with an unstoppable fighting spirit. His moral compass doesn't always point north, but TJ is trying his best to atone for his past mistakes the only way he knows how: Punching things. Also, his eyepatch is now blue with a white star, further continuing his All-American-styled appearance in the series. His tanktop appears more tattered and his American-themed shoes have been replaced with combat boots. TJ Combo's retro costume largely mirrors his KI2 outfit, but with few changes: He has cybernetic implants that are covered with red, white and blue wrist wraps, and he wears an Ultratech Championship belt. He no longer wears the eyepatch from KI2/Gold, and both of his upper arms are covered in long scars from the surgeries that removed his cybernetic implants. He now wears a blue workout shirt with the name of his gym on the front, star-spangled blue shorts, long boxing shoes that go up to his ankles but instead of boxing gloves, he now wears red MMA style fighting gloves with a white star. In Killer Instinct (2013), Combo's redesign is more in-line with his original appearance (besides his new goatee) when compared to some of the major design overhauls.
He wears an eyepatch over his left eye, a wound he sustained from fighting Riptor, and he has ditched his boxing gloves for hand wraps. His tank top is fairly shredded and he now wears long camo pants instead of shorts, along with new American-themed sneakers. In Killer Instinct 2, Combo gets some slight changes to his appearance. His primary weapons are his red boxing gloves. Combo wears a red, white and blue, star-spangled tank top, black shorts with a red belt and red and white-striped socks under his blue and white shoes.
