Michael once read that the Femme Phantom’s guns were called Purgatory Pistols and wondered if that wasn’t just an “old-timey” description for them from a bygone period. Once he saw her float into the air, releasing bolts of eldritch energy from both barrels, he quickly decided it was a silly name that she likely never gave them because they were far too awesome to have … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #14

For obvious reasons, Michael had never met his great-grandfather. Neither had his father for that matter as Arthur was a baby when Reginald Hawkwood died. Michael’s grandmother told him stories before she passed and he remembered briefly visiting Reginald’s widow in a retirement home when he was very young. It was odd that the first Cavalier was the most mysterious to him. Like his grandfather, … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #13

Michael was only five years old when his grandfather passed away. While he had a few foggy memories, it was hard for him to say he ever really knew him. His father told him plenty of stories, however, of the second Cavalier: Hank Hawkwood. Additionally, he was proud to know his grandfather was a Civil Rights activist in the 60s (one of the few superheroes … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #12

“I never knew how much pain you carried with you,” Miles Cady whispered into Ryan’s ear, “Although I was aware of how much misery you caused,” he pointed to the video displaying old wedding footage, “It’s good to know you acknowledge that misery somewhere in your psyche.” Cady took a step back, “You have the tool to end this now,” he indicated the gun still … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #6

After the alien invasion of 1981, the world was introduced to Neutronium, which allowed humanity the ability to give itself powers. World governments immediately seized alien technology and this rare element in hopes that it would not fall into enemy hands. Unfortunately, some Neutronium ended up on the black market before various government entities could fully act. In New York, back-alley doctors, mad scientists and … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #11

1946… Reginald Hawkwood leapt into battle with his shield held high. As the Cavalier, he wore a silver knight’s helmet with chainmail and a red tunic covering his torso with brown boots and gloves. The silver shield and helmet provided more than enough protection against the Nazis’ guns once they opened fire, allowing him to rush into the small mob and begin bashing them with … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #10

Five years ago, the Second Phase scientist known as Doc Serenity gazed at the large, ovoid, metallic structure in the center of the abandoned warehouse. The Psychic Bomb was his pièce de résistance: a weapon designed to create a psychic wave within a 50 mile radius that would destroy any living beings with an organic brain while anyone with cybernetic brain implants or digital brains … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #5

That night, Michael brought the Dragon in low as it approached the mansion on top of a hill. Michael remarked that it was a nice place but it was unfortunate it was bought through selling drugs to vulnerable people. The lights were on and several cars were parked in the back so he decided he’d have to wait for enough people to leave before sneaking … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #9

Ryan and Labrat sat on a large couch, watching an oversized screen that nearly stretched across the entire wall in his living room. Ryan poured himself a drink, the first for the day but not the last. It was a lot of space for only two people. Onscreen, a reporter introduced the program’s subject, “Sade Sterling is an international model, a member of MENSA and … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #4

Stratton Air National Guard Base in Scotia, New York was used mostly for scientific research, particularly the research of the North and South Poles. It was also here that Ryan Bennings developed the Dragonfly armor. Due to the surge in superhuman threats, particularly around the New York area, the National Guard saw fit to develop an armored flight harness that would be used to protect … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #3

Getting the Dragon out of the sewage tunnel was trickier than getting the Knight-cycle out. Michael performed a few maintenance checks for his father over the years but he hadn’t flown the craft since he was in high school. Once he got it through the tunnel with a few scrapes along the concrete walls, it handled well enough. His father designed the craft but Rex … Continue reading AP Productions: Cavalier #8
