Character from Street Fighter Alpha by Capcom
A hulking American thug with a bizarre obsession with Japanese culture who serves as a Mad Gear enforcer and later attempts to rebuild the gang as a vehicle for proving himself to the street-fighting world.
Sodom is absurd and dangerous, which is a combination the Alpha world produces more often than it should. His obsession with Japan is total and completely self-directed — he has taught himself bad Japanese from manuals, acquired armor and weapons from collectors, and constructed an identity around a culture that would not recognize him in return. He doesn't care. He is Sodom, the Mad Gear's iron fist, and anyone who laughs about the armor generally regrets it. In the Alpha games he is trying to rebuild Mad Gear after the gang's Metro City defeat, recruiting new members and testing fighters to assess their potential. This brings him into conflict with Guy (a natural enemy) and into proximity with Shadaloo's expanding operations, which he evaluates with the cold pragmatism of a career criminal: is there an angle here, or will Bison eat them alive? The answer is usually the latter, which makes Sodom cautious.
An enormous American man in samurai armor — genuine antique pieces over a huge frame — with a kabuto helmet, full face mask, and two sai worn at his hips that he uses with alarming proficiency for someone with no actual samurai training. He carries himself with the absolute confidence of a man who has never needed to be right, only big.
