ROCKET RANGER
The Rocket Ranger is a corporate
superhero sponsored by AeroDyne Industries, a fledgling aerospace and defense
contractor looking to boost their public profile. The majority of AeroDyne's
"innovations" are actually pieces of retro-future technology,
salvaged and reverse-engineered from Captain Nova's
crash site. This means the Ranger is equipped with gear that is literally the
stuff of science fiction - a personal jet pack, a gravity inhibitor belt and
lightweight, flexible armor that's twelve times stronger than steel. Originally
intended as a simple publicity stunt to showcase AeroDyne's latest products,
the Ranger became a long-term project when he thwarted a terrorist plot to
blow up one of the company's primary manufacturing sites and the executives
quickly realized the benefits of maintaining a high-profile deterrent. While
the Ranger's primary mission is to protect company assets and act as a
corporate mascot, he has been known to assist local law enforcement officers
when they're presented with a situation that they're ill-equipped to handle.
