After being saved from a burning lab by the commander of a mercenary group, Abel woke severely injured and with a case of amnesia.

The commander looked after the young Frenchman and became a father-like figure.

Before the commander's passing, he told Abel that the lab he was found in was actually the former base for Shadaloo and he should be wary of the crime organization.

Now out on his own with his amnesia still haunting him, Abel works with Chun Li to investigate the rumors surrounding the presumably destroyed Shadaloo syndicate, using his mixed martial arts combat to enter the new fighting tournament.

Could he be the father that left his family that Remmy from third strike was talking about?

@Aeon Phoenix
set the bait..

But, as far as the Remmy thing goes, that makes a lot of sense...and obviously he was taken care of by Charlie hence why in his story (and Guile's) he tells Guile that he has seen his moves before.

Abel is supposed to have a connection to Seth if u look closely at them they sorta have similar facial features

Abel is a failed project of Bison and was thrown away. He was sapost to be what Seth was but wasn't selected. Im also guessing he saw the sonic boom before because when they threw him out that's the move that was used on him by seth which was why he was all beat up in first place.

My cousin thinks Abel is Charlie... if that's true then I'll believe Blanka is Charlie, and Kylie Minogue is Cammy.

Spiderkid: he was saved from a Shadaloo lab, was familiar with Guile's flashkick... and his fauxhauk hairstyle looks like it was Charlie's hairstyle cut off....

Abel isn't Charlie.
He is an Alpha-Seth that failed,as said in his ending.

Abel is not charile or anyone for that matter. He is Alpha-seth that failed. He is very emo but strong too. And i want to have his emo babies! would he be interested?

All this stuff with Abel and Seth being part of a "number" project makes me wonder if it's connected to Gill, Urien, Necro and Twelve from Third Strike.

@Baldhead

Hmmm... very interesting point... never even thought of that.

He looks utterly generic.

I get the feeling that he's connected to Cammy somehow...not sure why.

If you take the Bible, Abel is the second son of Adam, and Seth is the Third ...
It looks like they have something in common, and plus when he said to Guile that he've seen the sonicboom before ! Only Seth got an other sonicboom ...

Posted by ArakisTheHutt on August 4, 2009 at 6:04 a.m. #17

Nope, Charlie must be the other sonicboom user... and it makes sense with Guile's story, since Guile is lookin' for Charlie too ! (it explains why Guile is VERY interested by the story of this Abel who talks about another sonicboom user)

But the Abel/Seth thing is very interesting, makes a lot of sense.

The all knowing Wikipedia says: " During the tournament, Guile faces the amnesiac, Abel, who claims that he has seen Guile's moves elsewhere. Guile becomes convinced that Abel means Charlie, but it transpires that he was in fact referring to Seth, the game's primary villain. "

@ Mr.WikiWaki

-Actually you are wrong because it has been confirmed that Charlie rescued Abel five years ago which means that Abel saw the sonicboom from Charlie. So Mr.WikiWaki you are a jackass and a failure. Nuff said.

Mr. WikiWaki is right. Nuff said.
