History[]
After losing his arm to a grenade, Spencer became a test subject for a new prototype Bionic Arm, granting him enhanced strength, durability, and most importantly, a grapple hook. With this arm, he became a super soldier, taking on entire armies and stopping several international incidents. However, following the Bionic Purge, he had his arm stripped and was put on death row for a crime he didn't commit. He was only let loose as a last resort to combat a terrorist attack, but he was now once again a changed man.
