Background
Personality
Pop Fizz is widely known as being a little crazy. The Skylander who puts the mad into a mad scientist, he is bubbling over with crazy amounts of enthusiasm. And that's before he's glugged from his bonkers beast beaker! According to Pop Fizz, the reason he keeps drinking his potion, or soda, is that the effects keep him on edge, gives him powers and that it is "soda-licious." He is also one of the few characters who fully understand Double Trouble's language.
Biography
Potions are red. Potions are blue. Pop Fizz loves potions. And he drinks them all too! When his latest attempt to concoct the ultimate raspberry soda totally backfired, Pop Fizz was caught in a blast that turned him pink and gave him an alluring aroma. At least that's how he tells it. But with Valentine's Day right around the corner, the Skylanders are all wondering if Pop Fizz is telling the truth – or if there is a special someone that he's trying to impress!
Story
History
Pop Fizz is a short and stubby, blue gremlin. At least, he's blue right now, but that could change at any moment. As an alchemist, Pop Fizz spends much of his time making potions, and the rest of his time drinking them. Everyone who has ever met him agrees that Pop Fizz is a little crazy. Actually he's a lot crazy, and the potions he brews up usually have some pretty wild effects. He once created a potion to make himself more charming and appealing to others. Unfortunately, when he drank it, he became a huge angry rage monster. Since then, his potions caused him to change colour, lose his memory and, on more than one occasion, violently explode. Despite this, he always keeps some potion close to hand, not just for the special abilities it gives him, but because it always tastes "soda-licious".
Lightning Rod Faces the Cyclops Queen
Pop Fizz attended the Annual Storm Titan Games with Drobot and Cali to see their fellow Skylander, Lightning Rod, in action. When Flynn's balloon was struck by Rod's stray hammer, Pop Fizz quickly transformed into his berserker form and knocked away any debris that threatened the audience, while Drobot and Lightning Rod saved the balloon's passengers and both Master Eon and the King of the Storm Giants.
Once everyone was safe, Hugo revealed that the Book of Power had revealed the next fragment to the dreaded Mask of Power. Within the stadium, the Skylanders discovered that the Air fragment to the Mask of Power has seemingly taken on the form of a Land Whale, which was stationed at a zoo held by the Cyclops Queen at Tempest Towers. Master Eon sent Pop Fizz, Lightning Rod, Double Trouble, Drobot, Cali, and Flynn to the Tempest Towers that lied beyond the Sea of Storms in their mission to claim the Air fragment before Kaos made his move. However before they could depart, Kaos captured Cali, who knew the path to Tempest Towers. The Skylanders gave chase, following Kaos while trekking through the Sea of Storms and battling Windbag Djinnis along the way. They managed to get to Tempest Towers before Kaos could and tricked their way into the Cyclops city by using Pop Fizz's berserker form to pose as a never-before-seen creature for the Cyclops Queen, leaving Flynn and Double Trouble outside to keep a lookout for Kaos.
However, after tricking the Cyclops Queen and her husband, Pipsqueak, the Skylanders were found out. While Lightning Rod and Drobot were thrown to the Land Whale's tank to be eaten, Pop Fizz was captured and held prisoner in a cage. To escape from his prison, the alchemist became so excited that his potion wore off, allowing Pop Fizz to return to his normal form and slip through the cage bars to release Lightning Rod and Drobot from the tank.
After Kaos's battle with the Cyclopses, resulting in Lightning Rod hurling the Land Whale far from Tempest Towers, Pop Fizz concocted a potion made from the animals held by the Cyclops Queen that grew Lightning Rod to an enormous size big enough to carry the tower (that was the true Air fragment) back to the Eternal Archive. Once there, Pop Fizz celebrated with his fellow Skylanders of their victory, unaware that there was a traitor in their midst revealing the locations of the fragments of the Mask of Power to Kaos.
Stump Smash Crosses the Bone Dragon
Pop Fizz was one of the assembled Skylanders who attempted to fight against the rampaging Bone Dragon in the Giggling Forest but was turned to stone. He was soon returned to normal when the Dragon agreed to un-freeze the petrified present characters.
The Kaos Trap
Pop Fizz was assigned on a mission with Stealth Elf and Wash Buckler to deliver supplies to the Mabu mining expedition at the Radiant Isles. On their way there, the blue gremlin was with Flynn in the cockpit of the Dread-Yacht, trying to learn how to make s' mores. When the Mabu became under attack by Kaos' Trolls, Pop Fizz quickly transformed into his Berserker from under Stealth Elf's insistence, using his brute strength to attack the Trolls and protect the Mabu. Suddenly, the Doom Raider, Wolfgang, arrived during the heat of the battle, causing the Skylanders, including Pop Fizz, to feel threatened and outmatched, as they weren't prepared to tackle both a Troll army and a Doom Raider.
Before Wolfgang could begin his attack, the Trap Masters, SnapShot and Wallop, arrived in time to help their comrades. With their combined efforts, they defeated Wolfgang and drove off the Trolls, saving the Mabu expedition. Both the Skylanders and the Trap Masters were praised by the Mabu leader for their efforts in saving the Mabu but soon came to notice that the Fork of Infinite Resonance was stolen by the Trolls, causing the Skylanders to ponder on what Kaos was up to.
Skylanders Issue #12: Graduation Day
Pop Fizz was helping with the Skylander Academy graduation by pouring a special punch mix into the courtyard pool for the partygoers. When the Doom Raiders ambushed the school staff, Pop Fizz was turned to gold along with them until the Minis defeated the villains.
Skylanders: Imaginators
Pop Fizz appeared in Skylanders: Imaginators as one of the Skylander NPC characters (though the player may still play as Pop Fizz using previous figures). At the beginning of the story, he served as the race starter to initiate the race between Spyro and Stealth Elf. When the Skylanders scouted the Academy for possible enemies, Pop Fizz and the other heroes were confronted by Kaos' ultimate Doomlander: the Guacamole Monster.
After the Guacamole Monster was defeated, Pop Fizz alerted everyone that Fizzland was under attack by Kaos and proceeded to escort the Skylander to it. Upon arriving, a projection of Kaos confronted Pop Fizz and demanded to know where to find his Beast Mode potion. Pop Fizz instead consumed a bottle of his own potions and attempted to attack Kaos in his Berserker Form, only to go through the projection, fall to the abyss and later re-spawn. He then introduced the Skylander to the Fizz World Potion switching mechanic. When Kaos was successfully driven away, Pop Fizz downed some of his own potions in celebration.
Pop Fizz was later put under the control of Brain's Mind Magic power but was later released from it after Spyro and the other Dragons used their Dragon Magic to dispel the brainwashing. Pop Fizz then revealed his plan to invade Kaos' Fortress by building a giant cake the heroes would hide inside and sent the Skylander out to collect cake ingredients.
During and after main story mode, Pop Fizz can be found inside the Sensei Magic Realm, where a Bottle Beast he accidentally created was running rampant.
Relationships
Drobot
The gremlin and the dragon argue every now and then about their intellects - one from study and the other from technology and data analysis - but mostly in jest. Despite their opposing personalities, Pop eagerly introduces his fellow Skylander to others as he knows of his great abilities.
Gameplay
Pop Fizz can throw his potions at enemies. He has three potions: a green one (which when thrown forms an acid pool on where it lands), a purple one (which when thrown spawns a potion minion that will attack for you), and an orange one (which explodes like a bomb on contact), and he can switch the active potion with the third attack button. For his second attack, he drinks his current potion and transforms into his Beast Form. Depending on his chosen upgrades, he will have different attacks in Beast Form. With his Soul Gem upgrade, repeatedly switching potions causes an explosion.
In Skylanders: Battlecast, his potions can be used as spells, though with random results. He can also use cheap and powerful spells, but at great costs, such as muting him for the rest of a fight. His signature Gear is the Soda Fountain, which creates spells of an ally's element, and his Special Ability is Strange Brew, which randomly creates a spell. His scrapped card and signature Relic is the Carbonator, which decreases the cost of spells drawn after it is placed.
