##### *For Damon Bradley's future incarnation* *(see main article: Nomad Bradley).*

Damon Bradley is a character appearing in comics and novels created by Damon Avent (Khaliq Trevor X).

He, alongside his incarnations outside the titular characters are the main protagonists of the Rage Knights Red God series.

## History

A considerably average man who grew up in Queens Mane and was one of the primary sources behind the foundation of his alternate future counterpart and Hades' group of outcasts, whom would eventually become the Rage Knights. In his youth, his struggles with other students led to Bradley's need to understand humanity and create inventions and ideas to better serve not only his friends but humanity at large. In his tween years, he adventured alongside alternate future Damon and trained under the watchful eye of Hades. Alternate Future Damon made promises of a brighter future in which he would be able to create inventions more powerful than he and greatly harness his red magic powers, shortly before passing in their battle against the God of Ugliness, Kaozu. During his Indy Hill High school days, Bradley befriended fellow outcast students April Summers, Keido Murasaki and Juno Barone. A long and perilous journey would bond them together for life when Bradley and his friends became subject to a powerful perception magic in where they were framed for a murder of Keith Reiner by a disgraced police commander, Eustine James. These years saw a cultivation of Bradley utilizing many of his physical and red magic powers such as Wrath of Kyeung Wei Kho and Past Raid which used and relied heavily upon wielding the Rage Sword.

In his later years, Bradley had launched and successfully funded Brad-Dunn with the help of Hendrick Ollie. The two would grow to become not only business partners but also develop a father-son relationship, one that Bradley and his biological father, Frank Dunn lacked. This establishment of the company became a widespread success that garnered the likes of not only executives and the United States Military but also that of various antagonistic entities, this included forces of his past such as Krom and his society of Bullies as well as the Diseased, demonic entities born from the evils of human hearts.

Bradley's tireless work with Brad-Dunn put a strain on his personal family life. After marrying his teenage infatuation Cherri Smith-Bradley, he didn't focus much on her and their young child, Khaliq. This was the case when Cherri and Khaliq caught Bradley and Ollie using Brad-Dunn's studies and his own personal inventions to alter and affect his body even for the sole purposes of research, such as his height and experimenting with the genomes that would grant people with shrinking and growth. An experiment that would contained within the specialized growth formula simply called Height Serum. One day after ascending into the ancient demigod warrior of High Heaven Council known as the Infamous *Rage God*, he returned to Earth to discover that Cherri had been murdered by a Diseased.

Heartbroken and stricken with grief, Bradley altered his life's work. Slumped in studies after study, Brad-Dunn was no longer the focus of his work. Making Bradley choose to sell their family home, allow Khaliq to stay with Cherri's parents and he would hunt and scour the world to bring his late wife back, even by doing ruthless things to do so. This took a drastic toll on Bradley's physical and mental state, even playing a role in his development as a Rage God warrior of High Heaven.

Eventually after every effort, Bradley saw this as a lost cause, knowing that he couldn't bring the love of his life back and that his family would forever be changed. So he developed ways of utilizing the Rage God moniker to battle Diseased and help Brad-Dunn. Even with the help of Hameel and longtime friend Arietta Jacks whom had developed a prototype for the marksmen battle armor. A synthetic blend of crystalline fibers that could respond to the DNA properties of its' host. If the wearer died, the suit itself would also cease to be but also materialize once more if the user came back. This would be the armor Bradley would wear for a good majority of his life both before he left Earth for Aphrodite-Bushra's citadel and therein after as he became Nomad. The Marksmen became a staple of Bradley's attire and during his time as a sole inventor and one of the Rage Knights even, he spent hours creating and amplifying the marksmen battle armor originally created by Hameel Jacks for better improvements and for steadier developments. Most notably creating augmented forms of the armor to don an appearance similar to that of the Mysterious Stranger.

## Disaster Imperials Arc

Damon Bradley learns of the existence of Ceaser-Prime during an ambush attack by Sierra Burns during his and Ragorias' trip back from Saudi Arabia. During their time in old White Oaks Penitentiary system, Bradley defeats Burns and travels to Cymechria where he finds out more about the menacing leader of the Disaster Imperials themselves.

As each of Prime's members fall to his Rage Sword, Prime draws closer eventually showing up at Brad-Dunn itself to taunt Bradley into following him directly into Purgatory where he would begin extracting him into the Valerian Vi. During their battle, Prime reveals that he was in fact responsible for Cherri's death by using a Cymechrian Ore. So in exchange for her life, he would go calmly with prime. Bradley agrees, before blind-sighting Prime with a Reaper Crystal or *Devil's Rejection Tool*, which separates his soul from the remnants of Dark Prince. This draws out his power and crushes Ceaser-Prime internally, only giving Bradley a short window of time to escape inside the Mysterious Stranger suit as a vessel.

Ragorias rescues Cherri from the lens of Prime's ship, the Valerian Vi, with the help of Alexandria Washington and later on Earth, their entire group of friends hold a memorial commemorating the life of Damon Bradley.

## Mysterious Stranger

### *(see main article: Mysterious Stranger)*

One of Damon Bradley's greatest inventions following Cherri's untimely death at the hands of Ceaser-Prime and his minions was the moniker as the armored dark knight known as the enigmatic 'Mysterious Stranger' (a term he would randomly coin from his fascination with the cynical and misanthropic Mark Twain's short story). This warrior could travel through space and time at greater rates and increased his normal strength even as the God of Rage. Stranger would meet the alternate 'Future Damon' and even inspire him to follow his path to time traveling and meeting Hades eventually. As the Mysterious Stranger, Bradley even became an early mentor to *himself* even, he taught his teenage counterpart how to fight and become strong enough to outdo the forces of the government and many others. The suit would warp to random places occasionally and even susceptible to attacks from the clan of space-time continuum Diseased known as the Viruses of Time and it was personally considered unstable to both Bradley and Ragorias whom preferred he dismantle and scrap it.

One of the last times he would wield the Mysterious Stranger suit would be when he met Solstice, Plus and Minus. Their encounter would lead to Roy the Dismantler. Roy was under orders to seize and capture Damon Bradley for his tactical defeat of Ceaser-Prime but soon after, The Dismantler kills Plus. This angers Bradley into beating the alien in a blind rage before being carried away by president Lincoln and Solstice, where they believed High Heaven Council would be the only safe haven where he could freely travel to.

### 'God of Rage No More'

Continuing his last exploits as the Mysterious Stranger, Bradley realizes that he shouldn't have ever been the Rage God and denounces its title. Thinking that the Gods of High Heaven Council only wanted him for bloodshed and war. He vows to never become one again and under the proper tutelage of not only Buddha himself but Aphrodite and the Japanese Rage God, Hatchiman –– To renew himself as a warrior of light, a paladin (See: Nomad Bradley).

## Angry Gag Comics

In this non-canonical storyline, Damon Bradley has his usual powers and abilities (post-Phatismo fight) however the plots involve indirect stories that don't revolve around his evolution into Nomad Bradley. Such as tales in which he dons newer Marksmen EXO armors, such as the Women Worshipping Mark and his meeting characters that chronologically he never met during this time (i.e. Cait La Newland).

## Powers and Abilities

### Abilities

***Augmentation:*** Bradley is a master augmenter, much in thanks to his developer/weapons dealer and inventor background. As such, Damon Bradley is known in many stories for constructing powerful items and many forms of old inventions, weapons and clothing to aide him in not only battle but everyday travels, studies and objectives. His augmentation is considered beyond peak, as he was able to create items that, while not finished or known about, he would later come back and expand upon them. Sometimes simply just *turning them on,* for the purpose of having them add to his arsenal whenever battling adversaries. This augmentation trait includes additions to the Mysterious Stranger mantle and Marksmen EXO Armors.

***Energy projection***: a common power, Damon Bradley can project and shoot various forms of energy-based attacks that originate from his psyche, life force and own stamina. He performs these energy attacks with a pure manipulation of energy.

***Can Produce Forcefields:*** Bradley can perform various incarnations and variations of Light Forcefields, in doing so he can reflect himself and his many allies or friends from direct physical harm or magical-based attacks.

***Durability and invulnerability***. His Marksmen battle suit can withstand sheer pressure and dematerialize or materialize based on whatever climate or situation the user may be in. This includes brushes with death, in where the user can be completely obliterated while the marksmen armor regenerates with the user's injuries.

***Flight***: Since an adolescent, Damon Bradley was able to fly to great heights and travel greater distances, including briefly entering the solar system and intergalactic flight on some outer worlds. His powers extend enough to where he is eventually able to teleport and use forms of Godspeed in addition to standard flight ability.

***Healing Factor***: With his durability and invulnerability, Bradley can restore himself based on his own life force and after a certain amount of time has passed. Its power usually varies.

Damon Bradley's main weapon of choice has always been the Rage Sword. During his youth, the blade has increased in power and allowed him to even bend reality. Often using it to bend space and time and travel into the blades' own portable 'dimension' at will against such threats as the Psycho Parasite. Despite the blades' primary usage, Bradley uses various other swords (often ones he forged personally himself such as the 'Don't Meet' Weapons and The Japanese Hate You (which is more-so donned whenever he used the Mysterious Stranger mantle.)

### Known Attacks

* **Rage Destruction Wave**

The user shoots an explosive energy wave of red magic at the target. This is Bradley's main attack. It relies on the user's heart and life force powers to channel.

* **Exploding Raid**

The user hurls their weapon. Upon impact, the rage sword explodes into the target. It sometimes has alternate variations, such as Past Raid and Gun Raid. With Past Raid being the basic form of the attack.

* **Deformity Nukes**

A strangely named weapon developed by Brad-Dunn, only to be prototyped and reinvented by Damon Bradley later on. These weapons, when hit by the user creates an illusionary physical attack of the target becoming '*deformed*' and experiencing the treatment to go along with it. They then have 48 hours till the effects wear off, until then they cannot try to end their own lives, nor self-harm by any means.

The Deformity nukes vary in intensity and power, regular nukes can be shot at targets as additional projectiles without the use of any magics and spells enchanted into them.

* **Wrinkle Meteor** *(see full article: Indulka )*

(originally called, the *Indulka Comika*: *The Insult Comet*) Taught by the elders of Planet Oldan, this is a powerful comet formed from the debris and spacial dark matter that generates based on the amount of negativity channeled into it's summon. Depending on however many insults are generated at the user, the more powerful it eventually becomes. Considered an ace in the hole, Bradley has relied on it several times to defeat adversaries.

It gained it's odd nickname from how many times Bradley was told he "looks old" by classmates and many others in the past. Perturbed by the name-calling and judgements, Bradley figured he'd use it as the moniker for one of his most deadliest spells in his arsenal. Believing that whomever the target would be, they wouldn't feel it's trajectory coming due to "how silly the name sounded".

Bradley's different variations of the *Wrinkle Meteor* include:

 Double Wrinkle Meteor –– Potent in power, it casts the same Wrinkle Meteor casting twice. Usually if the first doesn't hit the target, the second does.

* ***Rage Zantetsuken:***A more physical sword attack, where the user angles their blade in a way that strikes the target using the dull side of their blade. It's more similar in approach to a Samurai attack more so than anything.
