He is mostly shown as a figure with a golden skull wearing a cape and carrying a scepter. Usually unfazed by his enemies, Ougon Bat stoically confronts his enemies with his innumerable arsenal of powers, such as, but not limited to: super strength; flight; invulnerability; teleportation and omnipresence.

Considered by many as the first superhero, Ougon Bat is a famous icon in Japanese culture, having received several incarnations in live action movies, anime, manga and Kamishibai, a traditional form of street theatre where the story is narrated through a stage-like box in which the pictures are shown one by one.

A golden warrior wearing a cape and a scepter, Ougon Bat was a protector spirit  from Atlantis reanimated by a scientist and his friends (specially the sweet Marie) from his tomb covered in hieroglyphics. His entry was heralded by a golden bat and a sinister laugh and he would put good use of his super powers to combat the evil forces of Dr. Zero.
