Bruiser

You are fighting Bruiser.

Legend has it that Bruiser was the demon king of a race of genetically modified tortoises. Normally, you'd think that's nonsense, but after all the bizarre things you've seen since you start super heroing, and the shell-like shield he's carrying, you're willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. After you send him packing, of course.
