Helix

Helix is a playable character in ARMS. He is a mysterious, stretchy being created by scientists at the ARMS Laboratory. His gameplay style revolves around evading enemy attacks.

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 its 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 its chest and back.

Attributes
Ability 1: Hold jump to stretch body vertically, keeping Helix in place and causing only his torso to move with the controls accordingly

Ability 2: When dashing, Helix ducks temporarily, dodging high attacks

Throw Damage: 150

Trivia

 * Helix was announced on April 28th in a video on Nintendo's YouTube Channel.
 * While known as "DNA Man" in Japan, Helix's gender in the US translation of ARMS is addressed in the way that makes it so that Helix could be considered to be nonbinary or simply have no gender. His description states that he's "The 'Man' Of Mystery", as if Helix could be female or rather have no gender at all. This may make Helix the only non-binary or genderless character in ARMS as of it's launch.
