The Platinum Games blog took a break from introducing more heroes to reveal new info about Wonderful 101's enemies, and more information about that Wonderful Mart.
Finally, Platinum explaine the deal with Prince Vorkken. Leader of the Guyzoch Space Pirates, Vorkken comes from outside the GEATHJERK Space Armada's star cluster, and may be completely unconnected to them. He is humanoid but not human, which allows him to use a power similar to the Unite Morph called a Unify Morph.
Vorkken's 1st in command Chewgi is a stoic, seemingly honorable commander, who demonstrates enormous power. It isn't clear why he follows Vorkken, but the prince seems to have found a way to subjugate the most powerful of alien races and make them submit to his will.
Not connected to the Vorkken, or the GEATHJERK, is Immorta, a mysterious woman who occasionally shows up to 'mock' the Wonderful One-Double-Oh and leaves. That's all they'll tell us about her for now, her name. Maybe she's like Uatu?
Getting back to the GEATHJERKS themselves, they have powerful creatures in their ranks, but they also use some vehicles. The aliens in the tiny flying saucers are called You-Houghs. As you can see in the following pics, you can ride a You-Hough spaceship after beating a pilot, and Ichi says you will want to to reach unknown areas.
The Wonderful Mart, as we know, is the game's store where you can buy things like new Unite Morphs. The newly revealed Unite Drill Spring can attack as well as evade, and the Unite Tombstone attacks by hitting a giant tombstone on the enemy.
Ichi also revealed some of the Custom Blocks you can buy after earning O-Parts, which work with specific Unite Morphs. Unite Charge allows you to keep your large Unite Morphs large and powerful. Dodge Mine works with Unite Spring to leave mines behind the places you've jumped away from. Finally Hero Counter is the counterattack system. By directing the left stick towards the enemy just before they hit you, you evade the move and mount a powerful counterattack.
The Wonderful Mart also allows you to buy Skills, which are permanent power ups. The example given, Speed Liner, will allow you to make Wonder Liners faster.
