HISTORY

Vaughn Barron is a lifelong white supremacist, indoctrinated from an early age with the belief that skin color determines a person’s place in society.

Critically wounded during a racially motivated attack, Barron was given over to a group of scientists who promised to heal and improve him. Upon awakening, however, he was horrified to discover that they had replaced the entire left half of his body with robotic parts. Teaming with a fellow subject named Vinnie Brock (see Brain Bruiser), the two escaped.

Barron and Brock continue to operate together, with Barron now accepting his new status quo as the ultimate step in what he sees as the white race’s march toward “perfection.”

POWERS & ABILITIES

The left half of Barron’s body has been replaced with robotic components, granting him superhuman strength and durability on that side, as well as enhanced intellect aided by his onboard computer.

WEAPONS & PARAPHERNALIA

His left side also contains a wide variety of weapons that he can deploy and switch as needed. He can interface with and control machinery at will and can fly at speeds of approximately 400 mph.
