*Malcolm King, younger brother of Battalion, was unaware of his own latent abilities until recently. Malcolm was shot by the Mercs while attending a funeral. Hit by a blast that would have been fatal for any normal human, Malcolm was barely injured. Clued in by his miraculous survival, Synergy activated him right on the spot. After some recuperation and StormWatch training, Strafe was ready to add his energy wave powers to the team.* Source: Back of card
