Zomkicks

The Zomkicks were former employees of Sidekicks'R'Us, brainwashed and put into suits of armor by The Chessman. They were physically powerful and had all their usual powers, but were hindered by the uncreative nature of the cybernetic systems that controlled them.

If a Zomkick's armor was shut down improperly, it would go into biological shutdown, killing the unfortunate occupant. Thankfully, the death of the Chessman allowed the suits and control chips to be carefully removed.
