Like Dr. Wily's other evil robots, Origami Man created as shape-shifting robot whom capable to transform into various origami forms. True to his name, the robot had origami-based armor plates on his body. Unfortunately, during the test, Dr. Wily realized that the robot is ill-prepared for following his evil biddings as the robot's origami form proved to be harmless (and may also vulnerable) and that the robot may not stand a chance against the heroes or authorities, so the robot ultimately scrapped in favor of more dangerous and competent Robot Master models.
