Helix

Helix is a playable character in ARMS. He was announced on April 28th in a video on Nintendo's YouTube Channel.

Appearance
Helix is a translucent humanoid blob whose arms resemble models of DNA molecules. Out of the top of his head sprout hair-like protrusions that match the sugar-phosphate backbones of his DNA arms. If he has eyes, they are not visible under the mask he wears, which appears to be an array of small lights with two eye-like illuminated spots. He wears a harness that covers his chest and back.

Backstory
Helix was cultured in ARMS Lab, an ARMS research facility. The scientists created him by accident while researching Arms. He is a stretchable fighter; not only are his arms extendable, but also his body.

Attributes
Helix's unique mechanics revolve around his stretchable body, which allows him to easily dodge enemy attacks. He has been shown to increase his height, which increases his range, and to turn into a puddle, allowing him to more easily dodge attacks.

Regional Differences
Helix is known as DNAマン (deiienuee man, or DNA Man) in Japan.
