Appearance

Dropkick could pass for his twin, sharing the same tanned skin, heavy build, and long brown hair above matching brown eyes. He fights in a close-fitting purple bodysuit with full sleeves, its shoulders and knees capped in light gray plate. A tan belt of pouches wraps his hips, matching tan gloves leave his fingers bare, and gray guards cinch over white leggings that disappear into purple boots.

Personality

As with his brother, Dropkick brims with compassion and gives himself entirely to freeing his timeline from the king's grip. Years of clawing through a wrecked world have honed him into a dangerous fighter, deadly at close range despite owning no powers of his own.

History

Dropkick and his twin Fightmaster came into the world in a ravaged far future. In their eighth year the deranged king carried off their mother, who was gone from their lives from then on. The brothers later took up with the rebellion, assembled a time machine, and slipped into the past to seek out anything that might swiftly kill the tyrant. Their opening gambit was to swipe the Declaration of Independence, convinced its ink could be distilled into a deadly poison.

The theft set off an alarm, and after escaping with the parchment the twins ran into Invincible and Rex Splode, who laid Dropkick out cold. When the poison brewed back home did nothing to the king, the pair decided the hero they had crossed might be the true weapon. They came back, broke up Mark and Eve's Paris date, and, once he balked, dragged Invincible into their future by force.

There the twins nudged him toward the king, let themselves be seized, and afterward slipped their guards. They reached the palace as Invincible traded blows with the ruler; Fightmaster threw himself between Dropkick and a fatal strike, and Invincible cut in before the king could land the kill. With the tyrant dead his drones went lifeless, control returned to the people, and rebuilding began, after which the brothers ferried Invincible home and never met him again.
