character in Fighting EX Layer. Skullomania is the secret identity of , a third-rate businessman from Tokyo who works to support his wife and children. He adopts his superhero identity when a client asks him to dress up and pose for a superhero attraction at his department store. Donning a full-body skeleton suit, Skullomania sets out to fight evil for real. In Street Fighter EX2, his costume is redesigned, adding a red scarf and a red letter "S" in front of his mask, along with white gloves and boots and a belt. Skullomania reappears in Fighting EX Layer, having settled back into life as a salaryman but finding himself unexpectedly transforming into his superhero persona without any memory of doing so afterward. With new powers also developing as well, he sets out to find the reason behind these sudden changes. Many elements of Skullomania are homages to the Showa era tokusatsu genre of Japanese action shows in general and Kamen Rider in particular, specifically the red scarf and belt since Street Fighter EX2, and prominence of flying kicks in his fighting style. He makes later appearances in the PlayStation 2 music game Technictix and in Fighter Maker. As a nod to Skullomania, Capcom gave El Fuerte a similar skull costume in the Halloween pack for Street Fighter IV. A female version of Skullomania appears as a special guest character in SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy.
