History

After Fukegao concocted a steroid he named Biceps Brachii King, Marugori swallowed it and mutated into a giant, and together the siblings rampaged through D-City in the name of conquest. Saitama soon turned up perched on Marugori's shoulder; when Fukegao ordered his brother to swat the intruder, Marugori struck the wrong shoulder and crushed Fukegao by mistake. Saitama then put down Marugori, whose collapse caused damage to neighboring B-City. Both brothers died in the incident, ending their short-lived team.
