Vapor is a Villain in the Hero Factory Universe working for Von Nebula.

Biography

Vapor had been recruited by Von Nebula into his gang as a result of crimes he has committed both on his home world and abroad with his accomplice Rotor, including once attacking Mekron City with Meltdown, though his status following the apprehension of most of the tyrant's Villains remains unknown.

While exploring an unknown and hostile planet, Vapor encountered a Hero Dunkan Bulk, who had undergone extensive modifications, outfitting him with a jetpack and a version of Stringer's Sonic Boom Blaster to survive the planet’s toxic atmosphere, and was sent to bring Vapor into custody. Bulk didn’t face this challenge alone, however. He was accompanied by William Furno, who rode into battle on his high-speed Furno Bike. Adding to their firepower was a Drop Ship pilot providing aerial support, ensuring the team was well-coordinated and prepared. While the exact details of the ensuing battle remain unclear, but Vapor was arrested, according to Face Off: Maker's Secret Guidebook. It is also implied in the guidebook that he was secured in the Villain Storage facility.

Breakout

Dunkan Bulk fighting Vapor.

Some years later, Vapour, along with all the other villains within the Villain Storage Facility, escaped during the mass breakout Voltix and Black Phantom created using Von Nebula's Black Hole Orb Staff. It is implied that he was one of the many criminals who were successfully caught and brought back to the Hero Factory. He is now in custody.

Appearance

Vapor dawns Blue and Black armor, and two three toe-claw-like feet, while welding bright orange tubes that connect into his weapons. Interestingly, Vapors helmet is the same as that of Rotor's (albeit blue instead of orange). Both have a dual sided gas make shape and a visualizer in place of a mouth, potentially indicating that they are one in the same robot race.

Weapons

Vapor possesses , two corrosive Vapor Launcher, which are modified Meteor Blasters that can now fire spheres of Corrosive vapor, each fitted with two hulking claws for close combat on in place of each handed, as well as a blade on each of his arms.

• During The Enemy Within, "Wanted" ads for Vapor were shown flashing on abandoned computer screens in Mekron City.
