Summary
King Bradley (キング・ブラッドレイ, Kingu Buraddorei) is one of the primary antagonists in the Fullmetal Alchemist series, being that he is one of the seven Homunculi. Bradley was also the original Führer (大総統, Daisōtō) of Amestris. In the manga series and the 2009 anime reboot, he was known as Wrath, the final homunculus created by Father. Bradley is the leader of Amestris and is seen to have almost inhuman swordsmanship. As Führer, Bradley is the respected Commander-in-Chief of the State Military, even though his political standpoints are often questioned in certain instances such as the Ishval Civil War, which was only one of many insurrections focused on creating a massive Philosopher's Stone for Father.
Powers and Stats
Tier: 8-C
Name: King Bradley, Wrath the Furious, Führer
Origin: Fullmetal Alchemist
Gender: Male
Age: 60 by the time of his death
Classification: Human-based Homunculus, Sin of Wrath, Führer of Amestris, Adoptive Father of Selim Bradley, Ultimate Eye
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Weapon Mastery (Easily defeated Greed despite his ability to make his skin invulnerable[1]. Is also skilled in the usage of many other weapons[2] including fireams and daggers, easily defeating multiple skilled opponents at once[3]), Martial Arts (Has gone through rigorous martial arts training[3]), Acrobatics (Ran through enemy gunfire and vaulted over a tank attempting to run him over[4]. Leaped across falling rubble to escape a train car[5]), Stealth Mastery (Sneaked past all of his subordinates and guards to meet Ed Elric[6]), Supernatural Willpower (Out of many test subjects, Wrath was the only one able to endure the experiment that would turn him into a Homunculus[2]), Enhanced Senses (Bradley's eyesight is superhuman[2]), Information Analysis (Wrath's Ultimate Eye allowed him to analyze a complex situation in a split second, allowing him to escape a collapsing railway from inside a train by jumping across the falling rubble[5] and perform extremely precise moves mid-fight without pause, such as disarming an opponent by hooking his dagger in their sword's ring, tossing it upwards then grabbing it as it falls while still attacking all the while[3]), Explosion Manipulation (Has used stick hand grenades[4])
Attack Potency: Building level (Can wound and dismember Greed[1]. Destroyed Buccaneer's automail[4])
Speed: Hypersonic (Blitzed several soldiers at once), higher reaction speed with the Ultimate Eye (Bradley's reflexes are superhuman thanks to his Ultimate Eye[3])
Lifting Strength: Class 25 (Comparable to Greed[7])
Striking Strength: Building level
Durability: Building level
Stamina: Superhuman (After being impaled by one of his own swords[3], which was described as a mortal wound, Wrath could still endure a long fall and then fight Scar for a long time[8][9], in a battle he would have won if not for a stroke of luck, and even after both of his arms were destroyed, he pulled off one final attack by wielding his sword with his teeth[10].)
Range: Extended Melee Range with swords, Tens of Meters by throwing grenades
Standard Equipment: Five swords[11]
- Optional Equipment: Stick hand grenades[4]
Intelligence: Gifted (Trained since a young age in an underground experiment to be the perfect king[2], and was by far the most impressive of that experiment's survivors[3], Bradley is also an inhumanly skilled fighter. Despite his age slowing him down[1], he has defeated some of the most impressive and skilled fighters in Fullmetal Alchemist's world, easily surpassing Ling Yao and Fu at once[3] and almost defeating Scar despite already being near death.)
Weaknesses: His old age has diminished his stamina and strength, and destroying his Ultimate Eye will rob him of its abilities. While he still has his eyepatch on, it can be exploited as a blind spot. While the Ultimate Eye grants him great analysis abilities, it does not protect him from things he cannot see[3].
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Ultimate Eye: Wrath's homunculus ability. Not only does it grant him the ultimate vision, enhancing his eye sight, but also gives him the ability of precognition. With a glance it allows him to accurately analyze, read and predict virtually any move an opponent can do. Although it is limited by his line of sight, an obstacle would prevent it's reading capability.
Note: As King Bradley has shown the ability to easily outspeed the various characters in the cast[1][12][13], and was never actually hit by a tag team of Ling Yao and Fu, only losing to Scar after receiving a mortal wound from a surprise attack, no character he has fought should scale to his speed.
