Prehistory

Neptuneman's true name is , (he was also called Street Scrapper in the US), and he is a Perfect Choujin from England. He was an incredibly powerful wrestler, so much so that he found it impossible to find opponents who could challenge him. Kenkaman even told Robin Mask
Robin Mask

 that he (Robin) was too weak to fight him. He tried to end his life by jumping into the River Thames

, but in doing so found the place where the Great Neptune King, another Perfect Choujin, had been in hibernation. Neptune King had escaped from the world years ago after Choujin Wrestling began to become less about battle and more about tournaments. He longed for the days of Death Matches, which Kenkaman found fascinating. Neptune King gave Kenkaman the Neptune Mask and rechristened him Neptuneman, and he himself wore a mask and became Big the Budou. Both masks gave them Magnet Power (transferred straight from The Earth itself) and increased their strength many fold. (more to come)

Dream Choujin Tag Arc

Neptuneman and Big the Budo entered the Universal Tag-Team Tournament as the Hell Missionaries, planning to defeat and steal the masks of the chojin competitors. Then, they would give the masks to Big the Budo's henchmen, so that 'Kinnikuman' and 'Robin Mask' would be working for them. Meanwhile, the henchmen were flying on their way to Earth...all 1,000 of them.
The Hell Missionaries disguised themselves during the preliminaries, revealing themselves to punish Screw Kid and Kendaman for losing to the 20 Million Powers(Mongolman/Buffaloman). In the first round of the finals, the Hell Misionaries fought the Master/Student Chojin Combo, Warsman and Robin Mask, the latter of whome recognized Neptuneman for who he was (Or used to be). The match ended with Warsman dead, and both of them unmasked by the Hell Misionaries' Cross Bomber move. in the second round, the Hell Misionaries went up against the 20 Million Powers, and the match ended in the Perfect Chojin's favor, with Mongolman unmasked and revealed to be Ramenman. In the final match, the fight was held in a three round 'Sword-floor' deathmatch Big the Budo designed against the Muslce Brothers, Kinnikuman and Kinnikuman Great. Though the first round ended in the Hell Misionaries' favor, with Great revealed to be Terryman, the victory ultimately went to the Machine Guns when Budo began using the swords from the 'Sword-floor' deathmatch. The use of weapons was against the rules of the Perfect Chojin, and Neptuneman turned on his mentor for doing so. After the fight, Neptuneman flew into the sky and self-destructed, signalling for the Perfect Chojin army to retreat.
