Difference between revisions of "The Crimson Bolt"

Born into a family of rich businessmen in Tokyo, Japan, Hiro Takeshi grew up in the high society side of life. Despite this, unlike his father he attained a sympathetic view towards the less fortunate masses. Although he grew up in a sheltered life, he made efforts to become street wise and handle all corners of average life. He was a genius from a very young age, obtaining multiple degrees at the age of 13. At 30, after his father's untimely death, he took over Takeshi Tech Limited. He spent years of his life developing his very own power armour technology, focusing on civilian medical capabilities but building his own combat oriented suit, for super-heroic purposes. He even moved to America and ran the company from the US branch. He partnered with famous businessman Dominic Hines in the process. At the age of 35, he finalised the first version of his own power armour, and began to patent bits and pieces of lower grade tech to other companies for public applications. Dominic, however, wanted to sell out the full armour to the military. Hiro did not believe in people like the US Army having full access to this kind of weaponry, and he also didn't want to become obsolete in his endeavour to become a super hero. At 37, when tensions reached a high point, the legal battle for the technology ensued. Hiro eventually won the battle, much to the chagrin of Dominic and the military. He began his superhero career at the height of the Qularr invasion. He bought a new penthouse in Millennium City, deciding to operate out of there as MC seemed to attract danger like nobodies business. He has upgraded his armour various times throughout the years, even giving it different visual designs, ranging from Anime to Western hero to Steampunk styles. After the court cases, it was impossible to entertain the thought of keeping a secret identity, so he is a very public hero. Dominic later came back with a vengeance and his own armour, becoming the supervillain and nemesis to Hiro, The Cobalt Hammer.
