Doctor Geppetto Boskonovitch (Гэппэтто Босконович), or simply Dr. B is a fictional character in the Tekken fighting game series. He is the rival of Dr. Abel, another scientist in the Tekken series and was a leading scientist of the former USSR. At the age of 12, he designed a new type of ballistic missile, and instantly became famous in the scientific world. He is one of the two unlockable bonus characters (along with Gon) in the Playstation version of Tekken 3. Doctor Boskonovitch is unlocked in Tekken 3 by beating him in the extra stage of the Tekken Force mode, available only when you complete it for the fourth time. His Tekken 3 ending is the same as Yoshimitsu's.

[edit] History
[edit] Tekken
Dr. Boskonovitch originally worked for the Mishima Zaibatsu. During the first King of Iron Fist Tournament the Manji ninja clan, lead by Yoshimitsu, raid the Mishima Zaibatsu's vault. During the raid, Yoshimitsu lost his arm but was found by Boskonovitch who helped him escape.
[edit] Tekken 2
Dr. Boskonovitch was kidnapped by Kazuya Mishima in the run-up to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 and was forced to work for him. Some of the many projects involved the creation of the bio-weapons Roger and Alex and the completion of the Prototype Jack unit. The doctor's daughter also passed away and he began the "Cold Sleep" project as a means of preserve her body, using Nina and Anna Williams as test subjects. After completing his tasks, and before being executed, Dr. Boskonovitch was rescued by Yoshimitsu.
[edit] Tekken 3
Nearly twenty years later, he contracted a rare disease that affects the spine. In order to cure himself and to revive his daughter, he needed the blood of the fighting god, Ogre. He turned to an old friend: Yoshimitsu for help. Yoshimtsu entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 and was successful in retrieving a sample of Ogre's blood after it had been killed by Jin Kazama.
[edit] Tekken 4
During the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, Yoshimitsu found an injured Bryan Fury. He brought him to the doctor to save him. Boskonovitch explained to Bryan that he would mechanize him and allow him to be completely reborn in a new incarnation. Bryan lays supine in the chair and Boskonovitch held a gun-shaped device containing sleeping gas. Bidding him sweet dreams, he injected the gas into Bryan. Throughout, he spoke in a very gentle, paternal tone and was very calm.
[edit] Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection
However, the doctor found Bryan's body too complex, and he instead installed a perpetual generator. Bryan proceeded to attack the doctor, as well as Manji Clan members who were with him. When Yoshimitsu arrived to visit Dr. Boskonovitch, he found the lab in ruins, and his comrades dead. Seeing this, he vowed vengeance on Bryan, and entered The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Dr. Boskonovitch may have either been mortally wounded or killed after Bryan destroyed his lab
[edit] Fighting Style
Dr. Boskonovitch fights in an unusual style assuming that of a drunk man. Normally lying down, he can roll sideways, get up into a crouching pose, and breath green gas to damage the enemy. His 'super' move is like that of Yoshimitsu's, wherein he stabs the opponent with what looks like a bomb detonator and the opponent continues to get shocked until their health empties, they are attacked by a regular hit or they make their fists glow.
[edit] Other appearances
Boskonovitch appears in Tekken Tag Tournament in the bowling mini-game. He can be seen in the sidelines with the crowd and can even be knocked out by the bowling ball. He also appears in the Death by Degrees spin-off game, where it is revealed that his full name is Geppetto Boskonovitch. Doctor Boskonovitch is also featured in Tekken: The Motion Picture.
