Origin

Norman's neutral special originates from the cosmic lightning that struck him and gave him his powers. His up special is his signature move, the Flying Head Bash. The other moves are all centered around either his large cranium or his cosmic lightning powers. His wall cling ability, however, is a reference to his ability to stand and walk on walls in Headcase.
