THE KING OF FIGHTERS 99 KING CHARACTER SERIES
His namesake was taken from an AI program in the light novel Blue Knight Berserga Monogatari ( 青 ( あお )の 騎士 ( きし )ベルゼルガ 物語 ( ものがたり )), which is set in the same universe as the anime series Armored Trooper Votoms. The end result is that Maxima looks nearly identical to Harry. The man responsible for the design of both characters, Shinichi Morioka, migrated to SNK shortly after The Fallen Angels was released, and elements of Cool and Harry Ness' design were used in the creation of K′ and Maxima.

This obscure 1998 release stars an emaciated goth in tight leather pants named Cool, along with a brawny, cybernetically enhanced US Marine named Harry Ness. The origins of both K' and Maxima can be found in the Psikyo arcade game The Fallen Angels ( 堕落 ( だらく ) 天使 ( てんし ), Daraku Tenshi in Japan). He was added to the cast with the desire to add a "somber and reliable middle-aged character" to counteract the introduction of multiple teenage characters - though his character bio indicates he is still in his late twenties.
