History[]
Abner originally used his technical expertise to commit petty crimes such as robbing banks slowly evolving into a full supervillain. Abner came into conflict with many heroes during his career as a supervillain such as the Fantastic, Avengers and Spider-Man. During his time with the Thunderbolts, Abner realized how much more rewarding being a hero is compared to being a villain and reformed along with many of his teammates.
Powers & Abilities[]
Abilities[]
Abner is a highly skilled aircraft mechanic. He is excellent at operating and working on powered armor. Although Abner lacks a formal university background, he has advanced enough knowledge of mechanical engineering, and advanced propulsion systems to have developed many of the original technologies that comprise his armor. Due to his association with the Fixer, he is also familiar with technologies that exceed the capabilities of conventional modern science. Abner's intellect is what would be considered unevenly gifted.
