Icon-flashmanThis article is about a villain in Choushinsei Flashman.

"They're running. They're flying. They're swimming. They're shining. They're alive. Everything is alive. It's so full of life, I almost choked. Emperor Lah Deus! Earth... What a wonderful planet."
―Great Doctor Lie Köpflen's first words when the Laboh arrived on Earth.

"Great Doctor Lie Köpflen has finally risen to the top of the Reconstructive Experiment Empire Mess! I can reconstruct all creatures great and small throughout the universe however I wish! How I've longed for this day to come. Nefel. We will fill the universe with the life forms I create. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
―Lie Köpflen assuming commander of the Reconstructive Experiment Empire Mess.[src]

"Deus is dead. But his Deus genetics are still usable. Flashman only has ten hours to live. We must defeat Flashman before Laboh breaks apart. Only ten hours until the sun sets and this war will finally be decided."
―Lie Köpflen to Ley Nefel after Great Emperor Lah Deus' complete death.[src]

"It is born! The ultimate Beast Warrior, The Demoss. Flashman. This will be the final battle."
―Lie Köpflen upon creating The Demoss.[src]

"Wait! Flashman. You are earthlings. I can make it so you can stay on Earth forever. It's possible using the Genetic Resynthesizer. I will make it so you can stay on Earth forever. How about it?"
―Lie Köpflen when confronted by the Fivemen.[src]

"Farewell Flashman! Farewell Earth! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
―Great Doctor Lie Köpflen's final words before his death.[src]

Great Doctor Lie Köpflen (大博士リー・ケフレン Dai Hakase Rī Kefuren) was the geneticist who created the Beast Warriors for the Reconstructive Experiment Empire Mess. He was the final antagonist of Choushinsei Flashman who desired to turn the universe into a wasteland for him to rule over by reconstructing all beings using his Gene Synthesizer.

History[]

Past[]

Great Doctor Lie Köpflen was born on Earth three-hundred years prior to the start of the series, when he was abducted by Great Emperor Lah Deus, a genetic being who desired to become the ultimate perfect being. Lah Deus led the abducted child to be taught the ways of the science of genetic manipulation, forming and grooming him to be his personal scientist to assist in manipulating and creating creatures for conquest as well as his ultimate goal of using the best genetics of the universe to modify Lah Deus into ultimate perfection. Köpflen never had any knowledge of his Earth origin, believing himself to be a great being of the universe due to his knowledge and skill instead of a mere Earth human.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 49: Counterattack, Ra Deus

Over the next several centuries, Köpflen travelled with Lah Deus throughout the universe, collecting genetic specimens and using their unique traits to create devastating minions and Beast Warriors, including an army of generals. However the generals Köpflen created were not completely devoted to the organization and could grow to gain a mind of their own, making them dangerous. One of the most notable failures was Leh Baraki, a creation who learned of good and noble causes through Hero Titan, a being from planet Flash who was fighting Mess throughout the universe. After Titan died, Baraki escaped from Mess' grasp to hide on Earth, knowing it as a potential target for the organization.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 18: Big Turnaround! The Transforming Robo

Earth once again became a notable turning point for the scientist without him knowing it was eighty years after the Baraki incident, when he and Lah Deus sent Sir Cowler's Alien Hunters to the planet to abduct human specimens for their experiments in the form of babies and young children. While there were many successes, five of the abducted children were ultimately rescued from the Alien Hunters by the race of Hero Titan's world: the Flash. While little was realized regarding the incident at the time, the five rescued children would ultimately be trained to face Mess over time, becoming the heroes who would stand up to Köpflen and Lah Deus: the Flashmen. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 2: Behold! The Giant Robo

Flashman[]

Finally, one hundred years after losing Baraki and twenty years after losing the five Earth children, Mess turns its eye towards Earth and it's genetic biodiversity. Setting up on the planet by abducting the creatures that live on the world, Lie Köpflen easily begins to make Beast Warriors out of the beings that live there but the Flashman finally return to their home in time to defend it, setting up showdown after showdown between the heroes and the geneticist who keeps creating beings to conquer the planet.Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 1: Hurry! Save the Earth

When Lah Deus brings in Cowler and the Alien Hunters, Köpflen initially pays no mind and supplies him with whatever Beast Warriors the hunter requires for combat. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 15: The Giant Robo is Worn Out

However, Köpflen begins to start becoming angry at the ways Cowler is using his creations and begins to sabotage or ruin any of the hunter's plans that end up harming or misusing his precious creations. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 24: The Occult Summer Vacation

The mistrust grows between the hunter and the scientist even as Köpflen is forced to improve on his own creations in order to prevent Lah Deus from taking his anger out on them for their failures against the Flashman. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 28: Sublime! Fiery Galus

Köpflen likewise appears to grow tired of Lah Deus and tries to sabotage the mission in order to find out what his leader really is. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 42: Don't Cry! Female Warriors

Ultimately, when Köpflen starts trying to use and manipulate Cowler's own Alien Hunters for his Beast Warriors, the hunter rebels and abandons the organization. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 43: Cowler's Treachery!

After Kauler rebels against Mess, Köpflen finally gains the permission from Lah Deus to use the being's own genetics to create his most powerful creations yet: the Deus Beast Warriors, whose power pushes the Flashman to their limits alongside the beginnings of their own physical breakdown due to the Anti-Flash Phenomenon. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 44: Deus Beast Warriors Appear

But, when he decides to make one out of Cowler's partner Bo Gardan as his own revenge for all the grief the hunter has brought him, Cowler responds by invading the Mess battleship and destroying his master Lah Deus. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 48: The End of Cowler!!

Köpflen is uncaring and is ultimately pleased with the fall of the genetic being since it means that he is now the leader of Mess and can use his know-how to create creatures to conquer the universe. Yet, when Lah Deus tries to revive and reclaim the organization, Köpflen no longer cares even as his former master tries to shock him with his true origin as an Earth human. Denying his accusations, Köpflen throws Lah Deus into the Gene Synthesizer and mutates him into a Beast Warrior to be destroyed by the Flashman. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 49: Counterattack, Ra Deus

Determined to win the war against the Flashmen, Lie Köpflen uses the Gene Synthesizer to combine Kragen and Lah Deus' mask to form his ultimate Beast Warrior; The Demoss. Despite this, Great Titan's Titan Nova easily destroys it and the Flashmen storm the Laboh with mere hours before their Anti-Flash Phenomenon becomes fatal. After Jin accidentally kills his "daughter" Ley Nefel, Köpflen overwhelms them momentarily but they mortally wound him with the Prism Shooters and Jin's Prism Cutter]]. Although dying, Lie Köpflen gives the team one final offer: to use the Gene Synthesizer to manipulate them so that they no longer suffer from their malady and have their dream of living normal lives on Earth. Sara, emboldened by her own trials in discovering her real family, denies the wish and uses her Prism Shooter to destroy the Gene Synthesizer. As they escape, the Gene Synthesizer's destruction starts a chain reaction within the Mess mothership with Lie Köpflen laughing even as the ship blows up around him, killing the Earth-born geneticist in the process.Tvicon TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell! Our Home Planet
