Yellow head with red flight goggles and a grimacing expression with teeth showing. It features a unique Red Mohawk hair piece.
Torso
Black torso with red and dark gray tactical armor printing. Details include a red tech logo on the chest and utility belt detailing.

Trans-orange fire/blast elements (Power Bursts) and brick-built arm-mounted blast gauntlets in dark bluish gray.
Color Scheme
Primary: Black and Yellow. Secondary: Red and Dark Bluish Gray, featuring Trans-Orange energy effect accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso (front/back) and legs (front). The goggle printing on the head is particularly crisp.
Variants
This is essentially a generic grunt; no official head-swap variants exist for this specific ID, though parts are often mixed for custom SHIELD or evil agents.
Condition Notes
Watch for paint rubbing on the mohawk tips and stress marks on the hand-clip portion of the blast gauntlets.
Estimated Value
New: $4.00 - $6.00 USD; Used: $2.50 - $4.00 USD. Prices are relatively stable due to its status as a generic henchman.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 76129 which retailed for $39.99 USD. The set contained four minifigures.
Compatible Sets
76129 Hydro-Man Attack released in 2019.
Character Background
A nondescript henchman appearing during the Hydro-Man elemental attack in Venice, likely associated with Mysterio's illusion tech crew.
Design Notes
Utilizes the 'Power Burst' molds to simulate tech or energy weaponry. The mohawk is a relatively modern mold used to give generic thugs personality.
Similar Minifigures
Mysterio (sh580), Molten Man (sh581), and various SHIELD agents or AIM soldiers from the Marvel theme.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a 'set-filler' figure but desirable for MCU completists and those wanting to build out Mysterio's crew.
History
Represents the trend of LEGO providing generic grunts for action scenes in MCU movie ties-ins, allowing for more dynamic play without adding high-cost named characters.
Interesting Facts
Despite being called a 'Hydro-Man Henchman', the character appears to use heat-based or energy-based tech, which are actually Mysterio's projector drones in the film.
Display Suggestions
Place on the bridge from set 76129 or in a city diorama like the Ninjago City (shown in the background) to act as a rogue tech-villain.
Modification Potential
Excellent for cyberpunk MOCs or futuristic rebel fighters due to the mohawk and tactical armor printing.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed generic villain grunt with great part utility. Not a high-value centerpiece, but a fun addition to any Marvel collection.
