Feel the jolt of Justice!
Background & Overview
Working as a foreman for the local utility provided steady income for Bill Stryker’s family, until the union called for a walk out. As Bill headed for the picket lines, the utility called in the union busters, only this time it wasn’t goons with bats, but automatons with anti-crowd control weapons. The robots malfunctioned and attacked the picketers, leaving Bill and several others severely injured and hospitalized.
The media muddled the story and put the picketers at fault. Before he could even leave the hospital, Bill’s job was replaced with new automation from the same company!
Suspicious of the cozy partnership with the robotics firm CEO and the Utility bosses, and angry at the helpless situation, Stryker began toiling away on his own inventions. Determined to fight back against corporate greed and injustice, he donned a costume, using his last name, and began fighting in the streets for the underserved and unrepresented.
Description
Stryker wears a handcrafted costume that looks fashioned from an arc flash suit. He wields custom throwing darts that deliver powerful shocks to targets in the area, and wears homemade jump boots that allow him to leap several feet into the air.
- Unafraid of heights, Stryker uses his jump boots to his advantage as he maintains a distance from threats.
Origin Story
Toiling away in his tool shed, Stryker uses technology to strike back against corporate greed and protect the underserved.
