Geronimo is a character from Yudetamago's Kinnikuman series and its sequel Kinnikuman Nisei. He's best known for being a Cherokee warrior who dreams of becoming a true superhuman fighter. The English dub Ultimate Muscle completely overhauled him—renaming him Beetlebomb, making him British, and giving him a Ringo Starr-inspired voice—changes that fans still cite as one of the dub's most controversial decisions.

Geronimo starts as an ordinary human with brown skin and a forelock that partially covers his eyes. As a kid, a mysterious Choujin (later revealed to be the God of the Superman Road) saved his life, igniting an obsession with becoming superhuman himself. He spends years hiding his human nature to fight alongside the Choujin against the Devil Knights, and it's during the Five Story Ring battles that he proves his "Superman Spirit" actually surpasses that of true Choujin by pulling off a stunning win against Sunshine.
He eventually completes the Superman Road trials and becomes a legitimate Choujin, going on to compete in the Universal Choujin Tag Tournament and the Survivor Match for the Kinniku Throne. Though he carries a tomahawk and hunting knife around, he rarely actually uses them in fights.
Geronimo has a pretty distinctive speech pattern—he refers to himself as "Ora" and typically ends sentences with "Zura." He also calls the other Idol Choujin "Senpai" out of respect. In the anime, he speaks with a Touhoku accent. Interestingly, Chaos from Nisei seems to look up to him, probably because they're both humans operating in a world of superhuman fighters.
