Handyman (Enemy)

"You're just making him angry!" "He was already angry!"

- Elizabeth and Booker DeWitt while fighting a Handyman.

The Handyman appears in BioShock Infinite as an archetypal armored enemy in Columbia.

Characteristics
Like the Big Daddies of Rapture, the Handyman is a human artificially bonded to a mechanical suit. Unlike the Big Daddy, Handymen are dressed in patriotic uniforms rather than diving suits and have a gorilla-like posture and build. They also have exposed human body parts, particularly their head and heart, the latter of which is kept in a fluid-filled glass tank on their chests attached to several hoses. Thick bundles of cables run from their limbs to a pair of conductors on their backs. The mechanical hands are made of porcelain. Each Handyman's torso bears the label "AUTOBODY".

The Handymen possess great strength and speed and are capable of leaping great distances. They can close the distance between themselves and their target in fast charges. In battle they tend to be singlemindedly intent on destroying their target and may even pick up living beings (including their allies) to throw at the player.
