Beauty Rhodes is a WSC Champion and an antagonist during the American Tour Arc.
Rhodes first appears when the leaders of the WSC and WSF challenge Kinnikuman for his championship belt. Later on, he becomes the first victim of the mysterious 'Chanelman' (actually Kinnikuman in disguise). When the WSF decide to go along with Kinnikuman's masquerade, Rhodes attacks Alien Sheik but has his face ripped off by Skull Bozu. After the WSF attempt to steal the belt by orchestrating Kinnikuman and Robin Mask's fatal rematch over the Grand Canyon, Rhodes, now sporting a metal plate where his face was torn off, and the rest of the WSC appear to try and seize the belt amidst a riot. God Von Erich then declares a tag tournament to determine the leadership of the American Choujin world, and Jean Steamboard from France is selected as Rhodes' partner, forming the Emperors.
In their first match, the Emperors face off against Kinnikuman and Terryman, known as The Machineguns. Due to Kinnikuman's lack of experience in tag teams, the Emperors quickly gain the upper hand. However, the match ends in a draw. In their second match, they confront the Blood Illusions, consisting of Skull Bozu and Devil Magician. The Blood Illusions' dirty tactics, including dousing Rhodes with alcohol and setting him on fire, lead to the Emperors' loss. At the final match, Rhodes and Steamboard manage to recover in time to assist Terryman in retrieving his artificial leg from Kinkotsuman.
