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.
