Appearance

Standing large and heavily muscled, Golden Sperm keeps the same head shape as his source form while towering in a broad humanoid build. His defining feature is a radiant golden luster across his body, a glow that ties directly into the physical powers he wields.

Personality

The conceit and cruelty of Black Sperm carry straight over into Golden Sperm, who looks down on anything he deems beneath him and relishes intimidation. Beneath the bravado sits a calculating mind: he sided with Homeless Emperor's suggestion to keep Fuhrer Ugly alive for later use, and he threw himself in front of Atomic Samurai's blade to protect Homeless Emperor even while privately intending to betray him. Losing his forearm unleashed a sadistic fury, and he coldly ordered the surviving heroes to queue up so he could kill them one by one. In the original webcomic, he showed open disdain for the other Black Sperm cells and even proposed absorbing them as obsolete.

Abilities

Born from an enormous number of Black Sperm's cells, themselves already a Dragon-level threat, Golden Sperm carries staggering raw power. His immense strength let him thrash the Dragon-level Fuhrer Ugly with ease and drop the durable S-Class hero Superalloy Darkshine with a single punch that launched him a great distance. His durability held against slashes from Atomic Samurai's legendary Sun Blade, which only nicked his forearm until the swordsman put more force behind the strike and severed it, after which Golden Sperm kept fighting through heavy bleeding without a flinch of pain. Blistering speed and reflexes allowed him to strike faster than his targets could react and to shield Homeless Emperor in an instant.

His signature edge is acid resistance: the anti-corrosive nature of gold left him completely unharmed by Fuhrer Ugly's acidic vomit, the very substance that had melted Darkshine's skin. Through Fusion, he could combine with the rest of Black Sperm's cells, and when King's presence rattled Black Sperm, Golden Sperm merged with over eleven trillion cells to become the ultimate form, Platinum Sperm. In the webcomic he also displayed resistance to a weakened Tatsumaki's psychic assault, overpowering her before eventually being killed by Garou.
