Antonov is a character from The King of Fighters series, debuting as the organizer and boss fight in The King of Fighter '14.
Bio[edit | edit source]
The somewhat eccentric Antonov is the billionaire owner of the eponymous Antonov Corporation. With the King of Fighters tournament apparently having gone unto an extended hiatus because the last organizer turned into a demon (again) and was destroyed (again), Antonov was more than happy to step in and buy the rights to the spectacle (to the immense horror of his company's other board members).
In truth, the one thing that makes the Russian businessman stand out is that he does not host the tournament with any intents of achieving world domination or anything thatalike - Antonov simply wants to see the world's strongest fighters beating the crap out of one another in an giant, gung-ho contest. That's it. And unlike his predecessors, he himself also doesn't need an epic artifact of doom to give you one hell of a bossfight.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Unfortunately, Antonov solely appeared in 8chanmania VII, and nothing beyond him not winning a belt there is known.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Although Russian, Antonov's entire gimmick as a beefy pro-wrestler who also runs the show is often likened to Triple H. His redesign for KoF XV (complete with shades and a cowboy hat) goes even more out of the way for this and makes him look like an expy of Randy Savage
