The
Agent Liberty armor is the combined technologies of several prototype and
experimental "black project" agencies. The actual suit itself is
flame resistant and proof against a certain amount of punishment, but the
main defense feature is a force shield generated by the gauntlets.
Offensively there are extendible blades in the forearms and Liberty has
often been seen carrying and using a standard firearm.
While
with the Sons of Liberty the entire package was backed up by a home base
and a support helicopter than acted as a look out, communications relay
for the suits radio and heavy firepower back up if things should go wrong.

| Background: |
| Ben
Lockwood was the second best field agent in the CIA, so during the Iranian
hostage crisis it was decided that he and the number one CIA field agent
Paul Devlin were to be sent into the Iranian highlands to serve as forward
scouts and spies for any rescue attempt. When the rescue was aborted both
men were left high and dry, they went under cover and Lockwood managed to
escape, but not before Devlin was seemingly killed. Lockwood made his way
back to the US where he was inducted by his former CIA boss into the
covert organization called the Sons
of Liberty. Using his CIA training
Lockwood became the organization's number one field operative taking the
codename Agent Liberty. He was equipped with a rocket pack, forearm
blades, high power handgun and experimental energy shield. His first
mission involved him having to kill Devlin who had become an Iranian agent
in anger with the US Government. Agent Liberty worked mainly out of sight
from the media, but he did at times aid the metahuman community.
Agent Liberty always
held slightly higher morals that those of his sponsoring organization
which caused him to question his actions at times. When the Sons arranged
for Senator Peter Ross
to kill a Sons of Liberty turncoat Lockwood finally decided to end his
association with the Sons and dodging Superman
he revealed the framing of Ross and killed the leaders of the Sons.
On
the run from the Law he was recruited by the Justice
League, who were short handed after the death of Superman. Membership
allowed him to avoid the authorities however he only served briefly with
them before disappearing into the background. Agent Liberty is a superbly
trained agent and it not unlikely that he will be seen again covertly
upholding the American Dream. |
