These include outlines below his chest and down his belly, stripes on the sides on his abdomen, and circles on his shoulders. Finally, he has a pair of pointy, vertical ears. For attire, Beta wears a pair of metal wrist cuffs with purple spikes on them, and a matching spiked belt with an emblem as a buckle.
History
TV series
Past
Having become Nominatus' minion at some point, Beta would face a number of foes alongside Nominatus and Retro.[1]
Season two
Stuck in cyberspace, Beta would escape into the real world with Nominatus and Retro using Tails' Built-in Box to help Nominatus infect and conquer earth. However, the machine shrunk them when they emerged, so the trio had to take a dangerous trip to the machine's controls and rescale themselves. Beta then helped Nominatus bring his army and weapons into the real world with the Built-it Box, only to come under attack by Team Sonic, Ms. Tomatopotamus, Eggman and the Badniks. The trio tried to escape as they stood to lose, but were shrunk down by the Built-it Box and captured by Eggman, who kept them as his pets.[1]
Personality
Although imposing in size, Beta is not very intelligent, slow on the uptake, and a bit of a klutz. While he lacks in smarts however, he is a loyal follower. Beta also appears to have a soft and vulnerable side to himself, as he often expresses a meek disposition and appeared sad when Nominatus rejected any notion of friendship between them.[1]
Powers and abilities
Beta possesses high physical strength, enough to sent Retro flying with a single punch.[1]
Weapons
Beta wields a handheld ray gun which can fire a barrage of red lasers. He lost it after Sonic disarmed him however.[1]
Relationships
Nominatus
Beta is one of Nominatus's personal virus minions. Despite Nominatus treating him as dirt and giving him nothing but insults and neglect in return for his assistance, Beta serves Nominatus faithfully and refers to him as "boss" respectfully. A part of him, however, wishes that Nominatus considers him his friend.[1]
