Is he distantly related to Adam X the Extreme? Because that sounds like someone trying way to hard to make a character look cool.
So i read the wikipedia article on him. Created by Mark Millar? Well that explains a lot. Just look at all the powerups they have piled on him.
I was joking before, but now i would actualy enjoy seeing him get offed in an unceremoniously manner right at the start, because this character sounds perfect for that kind of thing to happen to him.
