Pluto is a fictional character in the manga/anime Astro Boy.
He is a giant dark green horned robot that was created in order to be the world's most powerful robot. In order to do so, he was ordered by his master, an evil fallen sultan called Chochi Chochi Ababa the Third, to fight all of Earth's other mightiest robots and destroy them, so that he could become "king of the robot world".
Pluto was sent to confront:
- Mont-Blanc, a Swiss mountain robot with 135.000 horsepower (100 MW). In the 2003 anime, he looks like a giant rooster.
- North #2, a Scottish butler robot with six mechanical armed arms
- Brando, a Turkish robot wrestler
- Gerhardt, a German robot inspector (covered with a protective gold-like alloy called Zeronium)
- Hercules, a Greek gladiator robot with high sense of honour and bravery
- Epsilon, an Australian light-powered effeminate and sensitive robot who looks after local children and dislikes fighting. He is a female aquatic robot in the 2003 anime.
- Astro Boy, a Japanese boy robot with 100.000 horsepower (75 MW). During this encounter, Astro finds out he is too weak for Pluto, so he has Dr. Tenma multiply his power by ten.
- Bora, a mysterious and extremely strong robot with 2.000.000 horsepower (1500 MW) who can, such as his namesake, launch a destructive katabatic wind by screaming his name.
During his fights, Pluto doesn't show joy nor sadness by destroying his enemies, claiming he is only obeying his master. Pluto gets particularly attached to Ulan, Astro Boy's sister, who senses that the giant horned robot is not evil, despite his deeds.
Pluto's powers:
- Super-strength, which is about 1.000.000 horsepower (750 MW)
- Super-hard shell covering his body
- Power horns, which can send thunder bolts
- Tornado spin
