Iggy Emblem
Iggy Koopa (known as Hop Koopa in the cartoons) is one of the Koopalings, a clan of seven siblings that act as leaders of the Koopa Troop under Bowser (originally considered his children). Iggy is depicted as a crazed, mechanical genius and childish in personality when together with Lemmy Koopa. His two main outstanding physical characteristics are his glasses and light green hair (originally pink, light blue, and yellow). In later appearances, he is shown to be the thinnest of the Koopalings. Iggy is named after Iggy Pop, a famous American punk rock singer and leader of the proto-punk band The Stooges.
Mortal Kombat: Shinnok's Uprising[]
Iggy with his Koopas and other allies in defending Earthrealm
It was mentioned by Aiko to Kung Lao that when she was younger, the Kombatants had allies from other realms, even though they were temporary due to the anomalies caused by the rips in Earthrealm's dimensional fabric. One of those incidences was when Bowser and the Koopalings were in peril by Shao Kahn and his extermination squads. Being that the Koopa King was overmatched, he allied with the heroes providing them with their assistance. Once Kahn regained his lost strength after the failed insurrection of Outworld, the younger Aiko was sent home and Bowser and his Koopalings were never seen again.
Trivia[]
- His name is based on Iggy Pop, especially since his nickname is also Hop Koopa.
