Declassified Information
The Birth of Ironworker
Gerald Spivey was an aspiring student of Robotics at the University of Texas, looking to get his Master's. By most impressions, he was a good student, if quiet. His main problem, according to his professors, was his lack of initiative. Gerald steadily completed his classes, when suddenly, three weeks short of finally getting his degree, Gerald took the initiative. One afternoon, Gerald did not show up to class. In his place, a supervillain by the name of Ironworker. Ironworker proceed to slaughter the inhabitants of the class before going on a day-long rampage across the campus, causing massive casualties and countless dollars of property damage. None of the superheroes that were close enough to respond were able to defeat the villain, as he was armed with an incredible array of technology, the likes of which they had never encountered.
It was only after this that some detective work on the part of several of Texas' best superheroes to figure out that Ironworker was, in fact, Gerald. Using a robot of his own creation, he transferred his brain from his own body into a powerful new robotic body equipped with technology of his own creation. Despite only being a slightly above-average student in his class, Gerald was, infact, a robotics super-genius, and hid this detail in order to quell suspicion for his plan, which had been in the making for a number of years, possibly going back to before he even enrolled in college.
Assorted Supervillainy
Shortly after the rampage at the University, Ironworker retrieved whatever possessions of his he still required and fled to Amarillo, Texas, where he set up shop in an abandoned ranch on the outskirts of town. This would later become his permanent base for the majority of his villain career. He spared no time in building his fledgling robot army, starting with the I-01 "Pangaea" Combat Drone and continuing from there. Instead of relying on an army of lesser robots, Iron sought to create a small, elite fighting force made up of his most advanced robots.
This strategy allowed Ironworker to easily become dominant in the general Amarillo area of Texas, and later a much larger portion of the state. His robots easily outclassed most supers that they ended up in conflict with, and other organizations, such as UNTIL, were wholly unprepared to deal with his technology. Ironworker run roughshod over any law enforcement that tried to stop him. Shrouded in myth, his motives indecipherable, and his technology unlike anything ever seen before, Ironworker quickly rose to become one of, if not the most feared villain in Texas. However, that status would be short-lived, as, in one particular battle on the evening of January 5, 1999, Ironworker faced his first loss.
Ironworker, though a good bit of his targets were robotics labs or warehouses, enjoyed showing off his power more than anything else. He would often send his forces to various public places, such as schools or government buildings in order to "demonstrate his power" by leveling said building. On this particular occasion, Iron had chose a large shopping mall for one of his demonstrations. However, on the morning of the attack, a lone superhero, Night Marshal, managed to intercept a transmission and was waiting at the mall. Having studied Iron's tactics extensively, Night had figured out a battle plan, and, once the forces arrived at the mall, he sprung his trap. The end result was total devastation among Iron's forces, as over 3/4 of his robots had been destroyed by the time they had pulled out. From this incident, Ironworker had finally learned that, unlike robots, humans could adapt to the situations that he put them up against, and they would continue adapting. He needed a robot that could adapt back.
