History
Formerly a US soldier, Ted Bronson was the ideal All American boy for Bureau 17 to select for their latest super soldier program in the late 80's. After years of experimentation, augmentation, and intense training, he emerged in the early 90's as SonuvaG.U.N. (the acronym forever a mystery), a badass cyborg with enhanced combat reflexes, super toughness, and a big honking gun for an arm.
Life was simple in those days. He was given the best combat drugs, the best augments, and the best targets to shoot and explode into tiny chunks. Enemies feared his ruthless aggression, his single minded determination to stop the worst scum of the world with generous application of heavy ordnance. Together with other similar super soldiers, forming the super team BLOOD FORCE, he felt he was king of the world.
Then the world moved on. The project that made him was deemed too wasteful and a joke among the more stable Bureau 17 projects, and everything was mothballed. SonuvaG.U.N. was out of work. He spent the rest of the decade and much of the next in rehab and attempting to re-integrate into society. That meant finding a job, doing taxes, shopping for groceries on his pension plan. The world had changed and had no need of angry, violent thugs.
After a low point, he was inspired by a self-help book to try and find himself again, this time vowing to never fall into the excesses of his youth. But old habits die hard. SO DO HIS ENEMIES.
Personality
The years have not been kind to Gun. His years of drug abuse have damaged his mind, despite being weaned off them through rehab. He has several cognitive issues such as difficulty processing information, memory loss, shortened attention span, and difficulty expressing thoughts. He comes off as slow compared to most people, though he is well aware of his problems and takes them in stride; he is 'dumb as a box of rocks' in his own admittance.
Despite this, he remains very energetic for his age, still with the same hyper macho attitude as his youth and an eagerness for violent combat. Age and maturity have tempered this side of him, though, and he is a lot more willing to talk first and shoot later nowadays. He is also a lot more understanding and sympathetic to others than he seems, and is a fiercely loyal friend once he has decided to hang out with someone.
He harbors deep regrets over his actions in the past, and thinks a lot about his place in society, his mortality, and how he can be a better person than he was. He suffers intense loneliness that he is quick to hide under his boisterous exterior.
Powers/Abilities
Gun has a combo platter of both chemically induced super strength and endurance and augmented physical and mental abilities via cybernetics. The former allows him to easily fight multiple non-powered foes with ferocity, though more powerful metahumans will give him trouble; the latter allows him to utilize a massive gun arm attachment that can rapidly switch between machine gun, shotgun, rocket launcher, flamethrower and tractor beam modes, though he has lost the activation codes for the last two.
He is well versed in combat tactics, close quarters combat, and various firearms training. He still possesses these skills with an almost savant-like ability considering his decreased mental faculties in most other areas. When it comes to fighting, old instincts kick in and he becomes a formidable cyber warrior.
Unfortunately the somewhat shoddy treatments have left his body disfigured, though it remains to be seen if it will affect his long term health.
