## History

Halberd leads his team to steal from the Arsenal, taking the desired technology and defeating the guards. As they are about to escape, they are confronted by Blaze, who defeats them with martial arts. Halberd shoots at one of the injured guards with a plasma beam from his power suit. Blaze blocks the beam with his fire powers, making the Port Town Gang realize that he is a neo-mutant. Before Ray can capture Halberd, the Arsenal explodes, giving the Port Town Gang the chance to escape.

Halberd gives the technology to Liev, becoming enraged when the lion only gives him half the payment because they were caught stealing it. Halberd protests, pointing out that Blaze is a neo-mutant. Annoyed, Halberd threatens Liev, who defeats him by smacking him across the face with a hammer, knocking him out.

Back in his headquarters, Halberd is in a bad mood, angry about his swollen face. He refuses to agree to Liev's conditions, desiring to beat the rest of the money out of him. After learning about Morales and his connection to the technology they stole, Halberd orders the Port Town Gang to suit up, intending to kidnap Morales to get the money out of Liev through blackmail.

The Port Town Gang successfully kidnaps Morales, but at the cost of Tang being captured by Natasha. Khali arrives and nearly defeats Boony, forcing Halberd to slice the train where they are fighting to force Khali to give up, unless the hostages are injured. As Khali struggles to hold the train, Halberd tries to kill him when he's at his most vulnerable.

Blaze arrives and stops Halberd by throwing his bike at him. Halberd gets enraged, but Boony calms him down by reminding him that they can beat Blaze with their new weapons. Halberd starts bragging, but he's surprised when Blaze defeats Boony with a single attack. Enraged, Halberd starts using his whips against Blaze, slicing across a bridge and part of the train. Blaze eventually wins the fight when he discovers that his powers allow him to burn hotter than Halberd's whips, making him resistant to them. Blaze defeats Halberd with a fire punch, defeating him.

Following his defeat, Halberd was arrested. Blaze tried to interrogate him, but he was unable to find him after that.
