In Killer Instinct (2013), Combo's redesign is more in-line with his original appearance (besides his new goatee) when compared to some of the major design overhauls. He wears an eyepatch over his left eye, a wound he sustained from fighting Riptor, and he has ditched his boxing gloves for hand wraps. His tank top is fairly shredded and he now wears long camo pants instead of shorts, along with new American-themed sneakers. In Killer Instinct 2, Combo gets some slight changes to his appearance. His primary weapons are his red boxing gloves. Combo wears a red, white and blue, star-spangled tank top, black shorts with a red belt and red and white-striped socks under his blue and white shoes. In the original Killer Instinct (1994), TJ Combo is depicted as a tall, African-American man with a fairly-muscular physique and short, dark hair.
