Lieto Strong

Lieto Strong (リエト・ストロング), self-styled as The Crusher (ザ・クラッシャー), was a member of the Evolutionary and a minor antagonist in Evolution Evangelion .

Originally a famous martial artist and bodybuilder, Lieto was tricked and captured by the Evolutionary for tests and was turned into a brainwashed superhuman beast of strength with a Meta Ability, but was put in cryogenic stasis until 2033.

During the raid on the Evolutionary's base, Lieto and the other test subjects are awoken and tasked with eliminating Sol's group but were killed by Keiichi Haven, Sol, and Astral.

Lieto's Meta Ability allows him to greatly amplify his own muscle fibers, greatly increasing his size. These enhanced muscle fibers exponentially increase all of Lieto's physical abilities to a superhuman level, roughly on par with Keiichi's own increased strength.
 * Immense Strength: Thanks to his Meta Ability, Lieto exhibits extreme levels of physical strength. Even when holding back, he is able to shatter rock and briefly overpower Keiichi Haven with minimal effort. When fighting seriously, Lieto's reinforced strikes were able to cause destruction on a scale similar to Keiichi's.
 * Immense Durability: Lieto possesses a high level of impermeability to physical harm. He was able to take the full brunt of Keiichi's Fist of Fury, but with some injury. However, he was completely incapacitated after Keiichi focused his power into his fist, impaling Lieto's chest.
 * Immense Speed: Lieto has shown to be surprisingly swift despite his large bulk. He was able to catch Keiichi off-guard several times during their fight. With the increased muscle mass in his legs, Lieto is able to launch himself off the ground at blurring speeds.
