Description
Cohen began as a human researcher under Dr. Saotome, specializing in Getter Ray technology alongside his colleague Stinger. Before the main events, both were infected by amorphous alien Invaders, transforming them into advanced agents for the extraterrestrial threat. This infection twisted their scientific obsession into a fanatical belief in forced evolution through Getter Rays, seeing the Invaders as its ultimate beneficiaries.
Physically, Cohen appears as an elderly man with dark skin, a distinctive blonde mane-like hairstyle, and a consistent habit of wearing sunglasses. He typically wears a pink jacket over a white shirt and purple tie. Post-infection, his appearance grows more grotesque, especially when merging with Stinger into a single biomechanical entity. In this combined form, Cohen constitutes the purple-skinned lower body clad in grey armor, while Stinger forms the upper half; Cohen's face manifests on the chest, capable of launching energy-based attacks through his mouth.
Cohen possesses extensive expertise in weaponizing Getter Rays and excels in sabotage tactics, demonstrated by disabling global communications systems and rigging explosive traps for high-level targets. After merging with Stinger, he gains direct combat capabilities, firing energy projectiles supplied by Stinger's half. He also pilots mechanized units like the "Metal Beast Poseidon" during conflicts.
His actions significantly drive the plot's catastrophic events. He assists Dr. Saotome in deploying the bio-organic weapon Shin Dragon and orchestrates the launch of a nuclear missile at it when conventional forces intervene. The resulting detonation triggers a global Getter Ray cascade, eradicating 99% of humanity. Thirteen years later, he re-emerges to battle the surviving Getter Team, employing illusions and the mechanized "Metal Beast Dragon" alongside Stinger and Saotome.
After Saotome's death and the Metal Beast Dragon's destruction, Cohen and Stinger survive and escalate their plans by traveling to Jupiter. There, they hurl a Getter Furnace into the planet, transforming it into a new Getter Ray sun to accelerate evolution across the solar system. In a final effort to eliminate the Getter Team, they merge into a colossal Invader monster near Jupiter. This form is ultimately destroyed when the Getter Team slices it in half using the "Final Tomahawk" attack.
Cohen's character design originates from Ken Ishikawa's earlier manga *Majuu Sensen*, where he is based on the character Dr. Shot. His relationship with Stinger is characterized by mutual loyalty and a shared descent into madness, with Cohen often addressing Stinger with the honorific "-kun".
