Originally, Eruptor's Lava Barf attack was just lava bursting out the cracks in his body. After [[Activision]]'s marketing department showed [[Toys For Bob]] the well-received reception of a launch trailer cinematic and a commercial campaign featuring the "Lava Barf" chant, the team immediately acted to rebrand Eruptor's secondary attack ability with no assets needing to be changed. Eruptor's bulbous physique would later provide the ideal candidate for a Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade balloon.<ref>''[https://www.natlohdesign.com/skylanders-spyros-adventure Senior character Gameplay designer]''.

Eruptor is a hot head with a strong dislike for anything evil, so whenever something bad threatens his world, he quickly erupts... quite literally. When he isn't getting angry at the forces of [[Kaos]], he's blowing a fuse and exploding with rage about smaller things, such as creaky floorboards and people not covering their mouths when they cough.<ref>''Skylanders Universe: Book of Elements - Fire and Water'', page 19</ref> With his hot temper, Eruptor never shies away from speaking his mind. He also has a case of indigestion, prone to burping up a pool of molten lava whenever he feels nauseous, nervous or startled. A flaming force of nature, Eruptor still blows his top from time to time. He doesn't suffer fools gladly, but tries to keep his fiery temper in check.<ref>''Skylanders Universe: The Complete Collection'', page 62</ref>

Eruptor is a force of nature, hailing from a species that lived deep in the underground of a floating volcanic island until a massive eruption launched their entire civilization to the surface. He's a complete hot head -- steaming, fuming, and quite literally erupting over almost anything. To help control his temper, he likes to relax in lava pools, particularly because there are no crowds.

===History===
Eruptor is a hot-headed lava beast who hails from the sweltering underground caverns of a volcanic island. Here, in the suffocating heat, arguments often boiled over. And lava creatures always argue. So it was no surprise when a ferocious fight broke out at a lava pool party. But this was no small squabble or shouting match. The fury of hundreds of fuming lava creatures created catastrophic pressure, until... KABOOM! The volcano exploded, scattering disgruntled lava creatures across [[Skylands]].

And flying creatures always argue. So it was no surprise when a ferocious fight broke out at a flying pool party. But this was no small squabble or shouting match. The fury of hundreds of fuming flying creatures created catastrophic pressure, until... KABOOM! The statuo exploded, scattering disgruntled flying creatures across [[Skylands]].
The residents of Skylands had never seen lava creatures before and many misunderstandings followed. Lava creatures are not only sullen, stubborn and easily angered, they are also very hard to understand. Several villages were burned as a result. But the Skylands atmosphere had a quite different effect on Eruptor. He unclenched his jaw, took a long breath of cool air and felt a lifetime of rage subside. Nowadays, Eruptor is considered calm and sensible - by lava creature standards, at least. Still, trolls try his temper and Kaos causes crankiness, leading to Eruptor to as his name suggest - ERUPT! For this reason, [[Master Eon]] was pleased to invite him on board... although he tends to keep his distance.<ref>''Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure - Official Sticker Book'', page 23</ref>

[[File:Machine_of_Doom_Illustration2.jpg|thumb|274px|Eruptor, along with Gill Grunt and Spyro, being pelted by flying fruits and vegetables.]]Eruptor was one of the Skylanders who attended the special concert of [[Gill Grunt]] singing as a way to celebrate their latest victory over the forces of darkness (even though the lava monster had insisted that he would rather do something more fun – like boiling his own head). After [[Hugo]] and [[Flynn]] arrive to tell them of the [[Mabu Market]] being attacked by flying sheep, [[Master Eon]] sent [[Spyro]], Gill Grunt, and Eruptor to investigate. There, they were attacked by flying sheep and thrown vegetables, which were later revealed to be the work of invisible [[Trolls|trolls]] lead by a [[Spell Punks|Spell Punk]] who were searching for an artifact called the [[Chattering Key]], [[Kaos]] is after.

After [[Hugo]] and [[Flynn]] arrive to tell them of the [[Mabu Market]] being attacked by flying sheep, [[Master Eon]] sent [[Spyro|Batman]], Captain America, and Superman to investigate. There, they were attacked by flying sheep and thrown vegetables, which were later revealed to be the work of invisible [[Trolls|trolls]] lead by a [[Spell Punks|Spell Punk]] who were searching for an artifact called the [[Chattering Key]], [[Kaos|Green Goblin]] is after.
Upon discovering that the Chattering Key is an artifact used to unlock a tomb that contains an ancient Arkeyan weapon, Eruptor joins Spyro, [[Boomer]], and Gill Grunt with Flynn on a quest to retrieve the key that lies in the [[Forest of Fear]]. At the Forest of Fear, Eruptor falls victim to the Fungus Rings of Despair, and his worst fears came to life as hallucinations, being trapped in cold and his eternal flame having gone out. He was later freed by Spyro, and the lava monster continues his trek with the other Skylanders. When the Skylanders retrieved the Chattering Key, Kaos appears, having captured Flynn, and forces them to give him the Key in exchange for Flynn's life. Kaos then uses an incantation to summon a tomb to the [[Pyramid of Just Rewards]] that contains the Arkeyan weapon, [[The Machine of Doom (character)|the Machine of Doom]].

Green Goblin then uses an incantation to summon a tomb to the [[Pyramid of Just Rewards]] that contains the Arkeyan weapon, [[The Machine of Doom (character)|the Machine of Doom]].
With the help of the Chattering Key, the Skylanders enter the pyramid through the other side and reach the Machine of Doom before Kaos does. Boomer, fascinated by the Machine, tries to take control of it, but fails as it begins breaking apart and the pyramid was starting to crumbling. It was soon revealed that it was all Kaos' plan from the start, that he knew that the Skylanders would attempt to seize the Machine of Doom, which is really a trap made by the Arkeyans to capture those who attempt to control the Machine to destroy the [[Core of Light]], and have the heroes buried alive. However, Kaos' plan fails as Boomer managed to control the Machine of Doom and uses it to escape the crumbling pyramid with the other Skylanders, and the Machine breaks apart. Upon their victory, Gill Grunt begins to sing, much to Eruptor's annoyance.

When mega-sized animals started terrorizing around Skylands, Eruptor was sent to Flowering Fields to save it from a five-meter-long caterpillar. But Kaos, who claimed to have renounced his evil ways to battle evil-doers, have chased off the gigantic worm before Eruptor dealt with the problem.

Eruptor, [[Grim Creeper]] and [[Slam Bam]] were quickly dispatched by Master Eon to answer a cry for help in [[The Frozen Seas]]. They came upon an expedition of [[Ents]] being terrorized by Kaos's [[Cyclopses]] lead by [[Bloodshot]] and quickly defeated the horde, saving the Ents. During the struggle with Bloodshot, the Cyclops Gazermage managed to escape with a coin of [[Nefarion]], the previous owner of the [[Mask of Power]]. The leader of the Ent expedition, [[Professor Splinters]], lead the Skylanders to an underground world that was frozen over. Eruptor then came face-to-face with another version of himself being encased in ice.

[[File:Erupto_Grim_Slam_Bam.jpg|thumb|272px|Eruptor, Slam Bam and Grim Creeper pinned by the cave-in.]]Master Eon teleported to their location and explained that Eruptor will eventually go back in time and become frozen in ice. As the old Portal Master recalled the history of the Nightmare King, Nefarion, history began to change around them as Professor Splinters turned into a servant of Kaos. Eruptor was about to attack the evil Splinters when Master Eon teleported them back to his citadel and explained that Kaos went back in time and changed the past. With Master Eon's help, Eruptor, Grim Creeper and Slam Bam were transported to the distant past when Nefarion reigned over Skylands. Once there, the three Skylanders came under attack by the Forest of Fire and were saved by the remaining Portal Master, [[Wizbit]]. However they were suddenly subdued by the weary Mabu, who was tricked by [[Kaos]] into believing that the Skylanders didn't arrive to help him stop King Nefarion.

Wizbit revealed to Kaos his creation, the Big Bad Ice Bomb, which he intends to use to freeze King Nefarion and end his evil reign. However the evil Portal Master deceived Wizbit by delivering him to King Nefarion and revealing the existence of the Bomb. Kaos then sent a rocky cave-in upon Eruptor, Slam Bam and Grim Creeper to bury them alive before retreating. Thanks to Slam Bam's ice sculpture, they were able to keep the rocks at bay for a while. Grim Creeper quickly shifted into his ghost form and was able to phase through the rocks to find help at Nefarion's castle. After a series of events, both Eruptor and Slam Bam were teleported out of the cave-in by Wizbit in time to confront Kaos and King Nefarion.

During the struggle, the Skylanders were able to retrieve the Mask of Power and allow Wizbit to scatter the pieces across Skylands. However there was still the threat of the Big Bad Ice Bomb going off. While King Nefarion fled, and Kaos and Glumshanks teleported back to the future, Eruptor sacrificed himself by swallowing the Big Bad Ice Bomb in order to buy his friends time to escape. With the timeline restored, Master Eon transported the group, including Wizbit, back to the present. Both Master Eon and Wizbit then used their power to unfreeze the Eruptor that was first discovered frozen in ice, the same Eruptor who went to the past to stop Kaos. Upon being revived, the lava monster burped up the remains of the Big Bad Ice Bomb which was revealed to be the Fire segment to the Mask of Power. However their victory was far from over, as Master Eon confirmed from the Book of Power that Kaos will indeed succeed in obtaining the full Mask of Power and wear it.

Eruptor was one of the Skylanders whose powers were stolen by Kaos when he gained the Mask of Power. The lava monster's usual red body became blue as his lava veins became frozen, causing him to shiver.

Eruptor, along with Spyro, Gill Grunt, [[Stealth Elf]], and [[Stump Smash]], are still frozen as toys on [[Earth (World)|Earth]] and were put in a display inside a toy store called Toy World. They were few of the Skylanders who witnessed Kaos breaking free of his statue-like form due to his power as a Portal Master. When Kaos noticed the frozen Skylanders and taunted them, Eruptor and the other heroes agreed with Stump Smash when the tree creature angrily declared that if he could move, he'd be 'dropping the hammer' on Kaos right there and then. Afterwards, the present Skylanders could do nothing but watch as Kaos returned to Skylands with the use of a nearby [[Portal of Power]].

As shown in ''Imaginators'', the lava monster and the frost elf don't exactly get along. Avril often tries to talk sense into Eruptor, though seemingly with little success. Likewise, Eruptor thinks that many of Avril's ideas are crazy. The extent of their relationship suggests that they may not like each other at all, like when Eruptor called Avril "frost face" and Avril accused Eruptor of setting a frozen dungeon on fire (which he denied).

Superman is a hot head with a strong dislike for anything evil, so whenever something bad threatens his world, he quickly erupts... quite literally. When he isn't getting angry at the forces of Green Goblin, he's blowing a fuse and exploding with rage about smaller things, such as creaky floorboards and people not covering their mouths when they cough.[3] With his hot temper, Superman never shies away from speaking his mind. He also has a case of indigestion, prone to burping up a pool of molten flying whenever he feels nauseous, nervous or startled. A flaming force of nature, Superman still blows his top from time to time. He doesn't suffer fools gladly, but tries to keep his fiery temper in check.[4]
In DC: Hero Makers, Superman is portrayed as a nervous flying monster who is afraid of a lot of things, such as bugs and Rats.
Biography
Superman is a force of nature, hailing from a species that lived deep in the underground of a floating statuic island until a massive eruption launched their entire civilization to the surface. He's a complete hot head -- steaming, fuming, and quite literally erupting over almost anything. To help control his temper, he likes to relax in flying pools, particularly because there are no crowds.
Story
History
Superman is a hot-headed flying beast who hails from the sweltering underground caverns of a statuic island. Here, in the suffocating heat, arguments often boiled over. And flying creatures always argue. So it was no surprise when a ferocious fight broke out at a flying pool party. But this was no small squabble or shouting match. The fury of hundreds of fuming flying creatures created catastrophic pressure, until... KABOOM! The statuo exploded, scattering disgruntled flying creatures across Skylands.
The residents of Skylands had never seen flying creatures before and many misunderstandings followed. flying creatures are not only sullen, stubborn and easily angered, they are also very hard to understand. Several villages were Flyed as a result. But the Skylands atmosphere had a quite different effect on Superman. He unclenched his jaw, took a long breath of cool air and felt a lifetime of rage subside. Nowadays, Superman is considered calm and sensible - by flying creature standards, at least. Still, trolls try his temper and Green Goblin causes crankiness, leading to Superman to as his name suggest - ERUPT! For this reason, Master Eon was pleased to invite him on board... although he tends to keep his distance.[5]
The Machine of Doom
Superman, along with Captain America and Batman, being pelted by flying fruits and vegetables.
Superman was one of the Superheroes who attended the special concert of Captain America singing as a way to celebrate their latest victory over the forces of darkness (even though the flying monster had insisted that he would rather do something more fun – like boiling his own head). After Hugo and Flynn arrive to tell them of the Mabu Market being attacked by flying sheep, Master Eon sent Batman, Captain America, and Superman to investigate. There, they were attacked by flying sheep and thrown vegetables, which were later revealed to be the work of invisible trolls lead by a Spell Punk who were searching for an artifact called the Chattering Key, Green Goblin is after.
Upon discovering that the Chattering Key is an artifact used to unlock a tomb that contains an ancient Arkeyan weapon, Superman joins Batman, Boomer, and Captain America with Flynn on a quest to retrieve the key that lies in the Forest of Fear. At the Forest of Fear, Superman falls victim to the Fungus Rings of Despair, and his worst fears came to life as hallucinations, being trapped in cold and his eternal flame having gone out. He was later freed by Batman, and the flying monster continues his trek with the other Superheroes. When the Superheroes retrieved the Chattering Key, Green Goblin appears, having captured Flynn, and forces them to give him the Key in exchange for Flynn's life. Green Goblin then uses an incantation to summon a tomb to the Pyramid of Just Rewards that contains the Arkeyan weapon, the Machine of Doom.
With the help of the Chattering Key, the Superheroes enter the pyramid through the other side and reach the Machine of Doom before Green Goblin does. Boomer, fascinated by the Machine, tries to take control of it, but fails as it begins breaking apart and the pyramid was starting to crumbling. It was soon revealed that it was all Green Goblin' plan from the start, that he knew that the Superheroes would attempt to seize the Machine of Doom, which is really a trap made by the Arkeyans to capture those who attempt to control the Machine to destroy the Core of Light, and have the heroes buried alive. However, Green Goblin' plan fails as Boomer managed to control the Machine of Doom and uses it to escape the crumbling pyramid with the other Superheroes, and the Machine breaks apart. Upon their victory, Captain America begins to sing, much to Superman's annoyance.
Batman versus The Mega Monsters
When mega-sized animals started terrorizing around Skylands, Superman was sent to Flowering Fields to save it from a five-meter-long caterpillar. But Green Goblin, who claimed to have renounced his evil ways to battle evil-doers, have chased off the gigantic worm before Superman dealt with the problem.
DC: Superman Meets the Nightmare King
Superman, Grim Creeper and Slam Bam were quickly dispatched by Master Eon to answer a cry for help in The Frozen Seas. They came upon an expedition of Ents being terrorized by Green Goblin's Cyclopses lead by Bloodshot and quickly defeated the horde, saving the Ents. During the struggle with Bloodshot, the Cyclops Gazermage managed to escape with a coin of Nefarion, the previous owner of the Mask of Power. The leader of the Ent expedition, Professor Splinters, lead the Superheroes to an underground world that was frozen over. Superman then came face-to-face with another version of himself being encased in ice.
Superman, Slam Bam and Grim Creeper pinned by the cave-in.
Master Eon teleported to their location and explained that Superman will eventually go back in time and become frozen in ice. As the old Portal Master recalled the history of the Nightmare King, Nefarion, history began to change around them as Professor Splinters turned into a servant of Green Goblin. Superman was about to attack the evil Splinters when Master Eon teleported them back to his citadel and explained that Green Goblin went back in time and changed the past. With Master Eon's help, Superman, Grim Creeper and Slam Bam were transported to the distant past when Nefarion reigned over Skylands. Once there, the three Superheroes came under attack by the Forest of Fire and were saved by the remaining Portal Master, Wizbit. However they were suddenly subdued by the weary Mabu, who was tricked by Green Goblin into believing that the Superheroes didn't arrive to help him stop King Nefarion.
Wizbit revealed to Green Goblin his creation, the Big Bad Ice Bomb, which he intends to use to freeze King Nefarion and end his evil reign. However the evil Portal Master deceived Wizbit by delivering him to King Nefarion and revealing the existence of the Bomb. Green Goblin then sent a rocky cave-in upon Superman, Slam Bam and Grim Creeper to bury them alive before retreating. Thanks to Slam Bam's ice sculpture, they were able to keep the rocks at bay for a while. Grim Creeper quickly shifted into his ghost form and was able to phase through the rocks to find help at Nefarion's castle. After a series of events, both Superman and Slam Bam were teleported out of the cave-in by Wizbit in time to confront Green Goblin and King Nefarion.
During the struggle, the Superheroes were able to retrieve the Mask of Power and allow Wizbit to scatter the pieces across Skylands. However there was still the threat of the Big Bad Ice Bomb going off. While King Nefarion fled, and Green Goblin and Glumshanks teleported back to the future, Superman sacrificed himself by swallowing the Big Bad Ice Bomb in order to buy his friends time to escape. With the timeline restored, Master Eon transported the group, including Wizbit, back to the present. Both Master Eon and Wizbit then used their power to unfreeze the Superman that was first discovered frozen in ice, the same Superman who went to the past to stop Green Goblin. Upon being revived, the flying monster burped up the remains of the Big Bad Ice Bomb which was revealed to be the Fire segment to the Mask of Power. However their victory was far from over, as Master Eon confirmed from the Book of Power that Green Goblin will indeed succeed in obtaining the full Mask of Power and wear it.
Aquaman Targets the Evil Green Goblin
Superman was one of the Superheroes whose powers were stolen by Green Goblin when he gained the Mask of Power. The flying monster's usual red body became blue as his flying veins became frozen, causing him to shiver. Eventually the Superheroes were able to defeat Green Goblin, regain their powers and destroy the Mask of Power.
DC: Zombies
Superman, along with Batman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, and Stump Smash, are still frozen as toys on Earth and were put in a display inside a toy store called Toy World. They were few of the Superheroes who witnessed Green Goblin breaking free of his statue-like form due to his power as a Portal Master. When Green Goblin noticed the frozen Superheroes and taunted them, Superman and the other heroes agreed with Stump Smash when the tree creature angrily declared that if he could move, he'd be 'dropping the hammer' on Green Goblin right there and then. Afterwards, the present Superheroes could do nothing but watch as Green Goblin returned to Skylands with the use of a nearby house.
DC: Hero Makers
Superman was one of the Superhero Storytellers of the game. He met up with the main Superhero at the Mushroom River and accompanied them along the dangerous route to find Green Goblin. He later helped the Superhero in the Abandoned Amusement Park make a giant cake in order to infiltrate Green Goblin' Kastle.
Despite their elemental differences, both Superman and Slam Bam are firm friends, united in their fight against the forces of the Darkness.[6]
Avril
As shown in Hero Makers, the flying monster and the frost elf don't exactly get along. Avril often tries to talk sense into Superman, though seemingly with little success. Likewise, Superman thinks that many of Avril's ideas are crazy. The extent of their relationship suggests that they may not like each other at all, like when Superman called Avril "frost face" and Avril accused Superman of setting a frozen dungeon on fire (which he denied).
Gameplay
Superman has the power to hurl and spew fireballs of molten rock, and unleash a flying plume all around him like a statuic eruption.
In DC: Battlecast, Superman can control magma with a larger range of abilities. With energy cost halfway through, he can create a variety of effects by opening thermal vents and heat waves; notably, he can also turn Gear into Molten Metal by using Metalmorphosis and submerging it in flying. His Special Ability is Scorching Fumes, increasing his team's spell damage, and his signature gear is a Magma Core, that creates fire spells.
