Senator Armstrong

“	Try University of Texas. Coulda gone pro if I hadn't joined the Navy. I'm not one of those beltway pansies. I could break the president in two... with my bare hands! Don't fuck with this senator!	„
	~ Steven Armstrong

“	"I have a dream." That one day, every person in this nation will control their OWN destiny. A land of the TRULY free, dammit. A nation of ACTION, not words. Ruled by STRENGTH, not committee. Where the law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around. Where power and justice are back where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every man is free to think -- to act -- for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick lawyers and chicken-shit bureaucrats. Fuck this 24/7 Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit. Fuck "American pride". Fuck the media! Fuck all of it! America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it -- we need to pull it out by the roots. WIpe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN! And from the ashes, a new America will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The weak will be purged, and the strongest will thrive -- free to live as they see fit, they will make America GREAT AGAIN!	„
	~ Senator Armstrong to Raiden

“	Nanomachines, son! They harden in response to physical trauma. You can't hurt me, Jack!	„
	~ Steven Armstrong

WARNING: The following tab will reveal the numbers of wins and losses for the following character. Read at your own risk.

Battle Record

Real name: Steven Armstrong
Age: Likely in his early 40's
Classification: Enhanced Human, U.S. Senator, Secret Backer of World Marshal Inc. and Desperado Enforcement LLC.

Superhuman Strength, Speed and Durability
Superhuman stamina
Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant
His nanomachines react to trauma and harden to match the force of incoming attacks
Limited Technological Manipulation
Can leech energy from nearby machinery to power his nanomachines
Can get up close to his opponents
Can generate explosionsand fissures of fire
Pseudo-Electromagnetism (which he can use to levitate and toss around metal objects),
Resistance to Molecular-level Damage (Can resist the effects of HF Blades while his nanomachines are active and hardened)
Regeneration (Can heal and attach his limbs together)

Defeated Jetstream Sam (Armstrong propelled the nanomachine hardened stump into Sam's right arm)
Easily broke Raiden's HF Blade with one hand and overpowered him in a brief struggle and brought him to his knees on rounds
- According to Dok, destroying a high-frequency blade with bare hands defies every core tenet of modern physics
Strong enough to makes lava erupt with a single-punch to the ground
Punched through and survived the explosion from EXCELSUS with no scratch
Held his own against Raiden (With the Murasama HF Blade)

Overconfident and a bit of a sadist
Armstrong will die if his nanotech-infused heart is destroyed
Nanomachine defenses do not react automatically (only when Armstrong is aware of the attack coming at him)
His nanomachines can run out of power (Kojima claims Jetstream Sam could have won their fight if he tried just tried holding out until Armstrong's nanomachines ran out of power) and require immense amounts of power to activate fully (He drained multiple heavily armed military-grade helicopters during his fight with Sam and Metal Gear Excelsus' remaining energy during his fight with Raiden)
Can get overconfident when he's certain he'll win.
