====== Walpur Guiss ======

Count Walpur Guiss (ワルプル・ギス伯爵, Warupuru Gisu Hakushaku)((TezukaOsamu.net's [[http://tezukaosamu.net/jp/anime/44.html|Astro Boy (1980) webpage]]. Retrieved May 20, 2014.]])) is a character who appeared in the [[episodes:1980|1980s Astro Boy TV series]].

He has [[characters:Skunk|Skunk Kusai]] copy the blueprints of Astro Boy's original plans. Walpur Guiss uses these to create his own robot named [[characters:Atlas]]. However, he built Atlas with the inclusion of the Omega Factor, a device which gives robots the ability to lie, along with other negative traits. Likely because of this, Atlas eventually betrays Walpur Guiss.
