General Morden

==Summary==
General Donald Morden is the main antagonist in the Metal Slug franchise and the head of the Rebel Army. Years ago, he was a general of the government forces. One day, a group of terrorists bombed Central Park, and among the victims there were Morden's wife and daughter. Eventually, it turned out that the Intelligence Agency could have prevented the terrorist attack, but did nothing due to an underestimation of the informations received. 
Full of rage and desperation, Morden suddenly disappeared. Nobody heard of him for years, until the day he showed up again, this time at the head of an army comprised of defective soldiers of the Regular Army, sympathizers all over the world and many others.
This coup d'etat would have been his revenge against the world's current leaders, and in a mere week the Government Forces were defeated and the major cities of the world fell into Morden's grip. When everything seemed lost, the Government deployed the Peregrine Falcons Squad and its top members, Marco Rossi and Tarma Roving, with the task of pinpointing the General and end the war. Eventually, after being defeated in various parts of the world, the Rebel Army and its general crumbled, and peace returned. 
However, it wasn't the end of Morden's ambition, as he has been able to rebuild his forces many times, even allying with aliens, a mega corporation and future soldiers, with the ultimate goal of conquering the whole world.

*Iron Sentinel: An enormous, heavily armored tank born from the collaboration between the Rebel Army and the Mars People. It comes with a huge cannon on the top that can fire rockets and various weapons on the side, which can fire small missiles or laser explosives. If the main cannon is destroyed, the Iron Sentinel reveals a huge rocket launcher. When fired, the giant rocket flies high up into the air, releasing damaging sparks in the meanwhile, and then crashes on the ground, causing an explosion. It has to be noted that the Iron Sentinel has been fought while sliding down a hill, therefore its performances were reduced by the unfavorable conditions of the fight.
