Bomber Great, known as Great Bomber in Bomberman Party Edition, is an evil bomber, subordinate to Bagura, and one of the secondary villains of the game Super Bomberman 4. Typically seen in black and purple with a large cape, Bomber Great is, although not directly a part of them, the boss and leader of the Four Bomber Kings, an assassination squad assembled by Bagura to get revenge on White Bomberman and substitute the Five Dastardly Bombers.
Biography[]
After Bagura's original body was caught in the exploding Battleship and his brain managed to escape in Super Bomberman 3, he created Bomber Great and the Four Bomber Kings to assassinate White Bomberman, as well as substitute the fallen Dastardly Bombers.
Super Bomberman 4[]
In Super Bomberman 4, while Bagura was planning his revenge, White Bomberman enjoyed a moment of rest with Black Bomberman and their friends while returning home on a space shuttle. All passengers were unaware that the Four Bomber Kings were approaching the shuttle, and they strike the ship. A time hole in space is created that transports White and Black to the prehistoric age. There, White meets Bomber Great, who tells he is leading the Four Bomber Kings on an operation through time to change the past and capture White and his friends. White and Black then battled through time and defeated the Four Bomber Kings twice. Bomber Great then confronted the duo in Hyperspace as the last line of resistance, but wasn't capable of stopping them.

Trivia[]
- Bomber Great and his allies are the first villain Bombermen to be made playable characters (with the exception of other colored Bombermen and Pretty Bomber). They are also the first to sport special abilities.
- In Neo Bomberman, Atomic Bomber greatly resembles Bomber Great in looks and abilities.
- Bomber Elite of Bomberman Generation is probably based on Bomber Great. Both are the leader of their gang, use invulnerability, are purple, and have similar name formatting, but while Bomber Great is a perfectionist and is very serious, Bomber Elite is more eccentric and childish due to his isolation and is even more powerful than Bomber Great due to his large variety of psychic attacks, but despite this, Bomber Elite is more controllable in behavior and is very honorable to White Bomberman, and only becomes serious when Bomber Elite is pushed to his limits.
- He is the replacement of Plasma Bomber.
