Air Con!

Post Reply New Topic

Air Con is a brand new superhero created by me, Daniel Mitchell (No Stealing or there'll be hell to pay). Let me tell you of his story...

Air Con is part man, part air conditioner. How he gained his powers is contained within a dark and mysterious past.
Tim Pritcher was a convicted felon, pursued by the police for a failed major heist operation he was in charge of - unfortunately for Tim, they caught up with him. After only a couple of days inside Marsh-gate Penitentiary he decided it wasn't for him. Being the criminal genius that he was he started a riot and broke out. Knowing that he was a very dangerous man the police sent out their best man: Police Chief Burns - the man who sent Tim Pritcher down in the first place. Eventually Tim was cornered in his escape within an Air Conditioner factory. A large fight ensued between Burns and Pritcher on a raised walkway resulting in Pritcher stumbling back and falling over a rail and, in the process kicking Burns backward over the opposite side. Pritcher fell backwards, unconscious onto a conveyer belt - which lead to the assembly line where various machines added all the wires and parts to the core batteries, thus resulting in them being built onto Tim, or as he's now called Air Con.
For the Police Chief though, fate was not so kind. He fell backwards into a smelter. In an amazing rescue it turns out he survived, albeit scolded all over, burnt black and irreversible, Burns then made it his goal to hunt down and kill Air Con by any means he can as revenge for what happened.
Nobody knows how these to men were so lucky but if you want any chance in hell of finding out, you'd better read Air Con!

Air Con
The closest thing in the story to a protagonist. Air Con (clever ey?) has the powers to save the world and will need to put them to use, the only one who's in his way at the beginning is Burns. He's not a particularly nice guy - formerly being a criminal or course. He had no recollection of his previous life before the incident but he still has his criminal instinct e.g. he may fend off some thieves trying to steal an old ladies purse, only to first remove the money then return the bag and leave the lady atop a huge skyscraper.

Special Powers:
~ Ventilator over where his nose and mouth were previously meaning he can withstand the effects of any poisonous gasses.
~ His left arm now resembles a metallic pipe from which he can blast enemies with strong shots of air, poison enemies with carbon monoxide, set gas alight to use as flamethrower or do the hovering.
~ Exhaust pack on his back (built on - vaguely similar to the breathing pack on the front of Darth Vader) which he can use as jet pack - therefore he can fly.

Chief Burns
Since the Incident, Chief Burns has begun ton slowly go mad, especially with his vow of revenge upon Air Con. He is particularly feared by Air Con due to his power.

Special Powers:
~ He is immune to extreme temperature - making him immune to the majority of Air Con's attacks
~ He has many major contacts - many of whom are scientists who work alongside him creating many machines and devices for him to use against Air Con.

SPOILER - VILLAIN OF THE SECOND GAME/FILM/VOLUME OF COMIC BOOKS

Tempest
A project by Burns in an attempt to create a man to rival Air Con. Tempest is similar to Air Con in many ways - he was given a lobotomy in the labs in order for him to forget his past (and presumably his kidnapping) and then they created him into Tempest: Part Man, Part Radiator!
His powers are similar to Air Cons although he can only fly in short bursts from shooting highly pressurised hot water downwards and his attack is shooting extremely hot water at his foes. His shady past will play a significant role in the future of the Air Con franchise - kept top secret in the CIA headquarters.


Here is some amateur Box art for the possible game (originally for my Secondary School DT 2d section of my project):
