Hunters and start a life with a family mirroring the life he started with his
version of Alicia.

## **History:**

Frank
West is an above-average student who volunteered for a series of experiments to
make the ultimate soldier. When the CEO of C-Industries tries to use the
experiment to make his own army of meta-humans the scientist tries to release
Frank. After a series of saves, Frank takes refuge in Michael’s garage then to
take refuge in an abandoned warehouse. Frank is sarcastic, with good leadership
skills; sometimes emotions get the better of him. Plagues by self-doubt that is
often hidden by humor. Despite fighting skills ends up mostly overpowering his
opponents with brute strength. In a world of human nukes and tanks, Infantry is
a lone soldier on the front lines never giving up even when he’s often overpowered but this hardly affects him when he uses his razor-sharp wit leading to
the downfall of bigger foes occasionally.

Frank
West started out his life normal. Living every day unaware of the secrets his
closest friend Michael was carrying or the idea of meta-humans, He was a very
reason/Explanatory guy. There was always an explanation for everything when
Alicia would go off on a crazy tangent. He would work with Alicia Hunters closely
in the School News Paper. He was very sarcastic but a person who would never
shy away from having a good time. Friendly, outgoing, and with strong morality
he was born into a family of crime fighters. His father is the well known
and legendary Detective James West, would be known for solving some of the most
difficult crimes. Detective James West a great caring father, loving husband,
and dedicated worker. Frank’s father is an amazing guy a man of few words. You
could always count of James West to say something clever, and witty as a
comeback. These qualities all inherent in Frank West. Frank and his father
among everyone else had a close relationship.

Frank
would volunteer himself in an experiment that would change his life forever. PROJECT:
SOLDIER, a top secret experiment a scientist jump started would be working with
Frank months before volunteering himself to test the soldier project. While the
project showed promise there were many that saw potential n what was being
planned. Funded by Vincent Adonis, the CEO played the experiment close to his
chest. The subject was set to be held and tested rigorously his strength,
speed, stamina, etc. The goals of the experiment were intended to make a
soldier one that was all around unstoppable. After the experiment was a success
Frank would come to a lab. Being set free by the scientist, after an
unethical call to make his mind a blank slate. Frank would manage to escape.
For months Frank

would fight against the criminals of the city. Saving lives,
Frank made a name for himself as a vigilante. Saving people and disappearing
Infantry would slowly make people aware he was around. Infantry in the early
days was avoiding returning home afraid that his family wouldn’t accept him,
eventually agents hired by Vincent made Frank feel that as long as he keeps his
distance from them they are safe. Vincent despite his involvement in the
project was kept in the dark about who the subject was. After the scientist set
Frank free refusing to take away Frank’s memories the doctor would be killed by
Vincent Adonis and the vigilante would be hunted. The Informa, for the most↵part,part was burned before the doctor’s death to prevent any duplication of the
project. While on his own as a vigilante Frank would save people and make an
old warehouse his home sleeping there. Michael Daversa and Christina DiBella
tried to track him down countless times landing them in dead ends.

Alicia Hunters
however would help the vigilante and become someone who he confided in. Alicia
helping him find leads and in some serious cases she would be the ultimate
ally. Alicia Hunters is a girl with a nose for news and journalism, the person
that inspired Michael into the role of investigative journalism. Alicia,
Michael, Frank and Sajjid are really close friends. Alicia is smart and
computer savvy and despite her lack of special abilities she has saved the team
and serves as a hub of information in the Warehouse and if she isn’t there she
is in the Ledger working on a story. Alicia despite her ties to Michael leaves
and works closely with Frank. Alicia prior to Sarah’s first account of Infantry
They had been speaking at the time it was not known that it was Frank her high
school best friend. Despite her reporter-like charm she decided to not tell
anyone of their working together in the middle of the night. Alicia has short
blonde hair wears glasses sometimes. She is a girl that knows her way around a computer.
Alicia knew Michael. Frank and Sajjid since they were children. Alicia had
prior to knowing Michael’s story had believed that there were people with
special abilities hiding in plain sight. Alicia has a romantic relationship
with Infantry one that is very complex.

With
the help of Alicia, The vigilante would help Alicia land stories that were a
reporters dream and solve various cases. Respecting their friendship she named
him Infantry and saw him as friend protecting his secret. Meanwhile Detective
West never giving up hope on his son would look and search going so far as to
ask The Outsider to help him find Frank or learn what happened to his son.
Infantry for years would keep a look out for his father protecting him from the
shadows. Infantry would save a girl Sarah DiBella, a cousin to Christina, and
friend of Michael’s. After the Infantry’s heroics in the city Michael and
Christina would be on the trail of Infantry. Meanwhile Sarah would try to find
leads on her own sparking a fire for journalism. Alicia would step back however
in helping with the story, due to her past connections to Infantry. Sarah and

Michael working on the story for the first time together they would try to

learn more about him. Infantry would save Michael and Sarah from agents hired
to detain Infantry and that were about to attempt at killing him. Infantry at
that moment pieces together the fact that Michael is the Outsider. After
discovering his identity Infantry would show up again and encounter with
Michael in the same alley where he saved Sarah. After their encounter Michael
would pull off the black mask and learn where Frank has been all this time. Infantry
clearing up past suspicions that he was not involved in the murders in the lab
or the other’s he was wanted for. Learning Vincent Adonis killed the doctor
Frank became enraged and would attack him in his mansion taking out security
and agents to get to him. Ready to go in for the kill Infantry would choose not
to kill him. After Frank would stay in Michael’s garage for a few weeks before
hacking into systems to make the warehouse belong to a mystery owner. Frank now
owning the warehouse would turn it into a base of operations inventing
countless security counter measures and defenses as well as tech and equipment
for his crusade. Frank however in secret would work on an underground basement
of the warehouse utilizing tunnels in the old abandoned sewer and subway lines.
Completing the warehouse to be the ultimate base of operations he would still
in trust Alicia to help him. Frank would also stay friends with Michael keeping
in touch and helping out in the city as Infantry.

With
things changing Frank began to go back to who he was but knew he couldn’t
return to the life he left behind. Frank fearing for the life of his family
would refuse to return home and try not to get them involved in the life he has
in him now. **Jack West**, Frank’s
younger brother would begin sneaking out to find the hero that inspired him
looking for answers Jack would believe that Frank is alive and Infantry could
help him. After his brother goes missing Jack looks for Frank and is eager to
find out where he is feeling deep down his brother may still be alive. Jack
when he first starts out is not a very well trained character in fact Frank
saves his life. Jack having taken self defense from his father a detective for
the NYPD, Jack worked into looking for what he could find and Frank tried to
keep him out of the fight. Jack eager to help and being stubborn leaps into the
action after he nearly dies, Frank promises he will train him and he will not
do anything until he sees fit. Jack actually leads Frank to coming back home.
Jack is very heavily inspired by Infantry and driven by the aspiration to be
like his older brother. Jack is still young and searching for his path and
believes that the hero work is the path he wants to take. Much like Frank, he
is sarcastic, and trained to be a good leader; sometimes letting emotions get
the better of him.

Jack
would catch Infantry and The Outsider’s attention after being hurt they would
bring him to the warehouse and save his life. There Jack would learn his hero
was his brother. Frank would face the issues of him leaving his home and being
Infantry. Jack would train with Frank and learn how to fight and become a vigilante
of his own. After a few months Frank would be convinced to go home to let his
parents know the truth that he is alive. But then would leave again Frank’s
father and Jack would be the only people to know the truth of him being
Infantry. Frank would time and again visit his family. While training his
younger brother he would deal with the frustration of Jack wanting to be out
there with him but for his safety was not allowing him. Jack would eventually
disobey orders and in turn save Frank’s life.

Years
later someone would begin to follow in Infantry’s footsteps making a repeat of
stopping similar crimes and similar incidents with Michael early on as
Infantry. Frank would be track down a girl **Susan**
Saunders **a subject from the Soldier project one that was working with**
Vincent Adonis. While working with Vincent Adonis she would have her memories
but would have a few issues with her memories overlapping what Infantry’s
memories are. She would have an encounter that would set things straight. After being experimented on to do the
experiment that made Infantry they decided to alter her and give most of
Frank’s past memories. Susan would work with Vincent Adonis to and be
manipulated into believing she was helping the right side. She would repeat the

same things that Infantry did

   in the first few weeks that he was around,

including saving Sarah. After she would destroy the warehouse where Project:
Soldier took place. Susan is an altered spitting image of Frank. She is
confident, spunky, smart and sarcastic, with a sexy side. She and Frank have
some undeniable chemistry. She however is not as much of an expert fighter and
is trained by Frank. Wants desperately to be called Arsenal but Frank and
others refuse. To most she is known as Infantry-girl, or Commander girl,
ignoring Frank’s request to not call her that. She is around Franks age they
both train and spar together Susan however operates moving city to city. Frank
has invented and created many gadgets and tech he uses to operate as Infantry.
Frank is one of the greatest heroes fighting the good fight alongside, and
keeping up with some of the most powerful heroes, standing against some of the
most deadliest and challenging threats.

He is above average his intellect is boosted due to
the serum. One
of Earth’s greatest heroes and ultimate soldier. Frank has his abilities
heightened. Frank faces many peculiar and odd predicaments. Frank attended
Staten Island High. He was born March 27,1994 in Orange County, New York. Frank
at times is the guy of optimism and the one that holds the Outcastes together.
Frank can be optimistic and at times very unpredictable. Frank eventually
learns of the Excalibur sword with words stating “only those who are worthy
shall wield the sword and gains unbelievable power”. The Excalibur power is
what leads to Frank’s Resurrection when Anthony and him die. Frank would take
on Anthony

Daversa when he was at his most powerful sacrifice his life and take
Anthony down in the process. Frank has designed and invented most of the
weapons and defenses for the warehouse. Frank has developed security and many
weapons. Frank is nice, sarcastic, compassionate, and optimistic at times. 90%
of the time he is correct and pursues being a hero and never hesitates to do
what he feels is right. Frank’s favorite subjects are math and physics. Frank
enjoys drawing, writing, and reading literature as well as inventing. Frank
patrols the streets of the city as Infantry, utilizing the symbol of an oval
because of its simplicity and the fact that it was engraved into the gun used
to kill the scientist Frank has very few love interests, Alicia Hunters being
one of them.

Frank is the heart beat of
the team. He has however made mistakes like any hero. Frank having serious encounters
with The Prankster. Frank would always be pushed to the limit by this enemy.
The only one to ever push him dangerously close to killing. The Sick Sadistic killer clown that rules the crime
world. With no special abilities, and just nothing but strategy and sadistic

imagination. He is a murderer, a sick man that uses fear intimidation, and the

element of surprise to kill anyone he feels like killing. No Alias, Nor a hint
of his past or his origin. He is a highly intelligent mastermind that gets into
your head and tries to get the better of you by making you cross the line.
Often wreaking more havoc than even some of the meta-humans they face he is a
deadly foe to cross paths with. A psychopath with a warped distorted comical
sense of humor. This a foe that typically has crossed the line to make others
cross the line. The Prankster usually deals with The Infantry but isn't  limited to him but goes after other people
such as Night Prowler, Outsider etc. A adversary that proves time and time
again that you need to expect the unexpected. Prankster has no remorse feels no
guilt but enjoys inflicted pain on others. After Infantry would seemingly kill
Prankster. Michael and Frank being put at odds isn’t something that is rare but
for the first time these friends would have a very strained relationship. After
Prankster’s return Frank would believe he was seeing illusions and feeling the
guilt from taking his life on the rooftop. Michael and Alicia would disprove
that however discovering a body was never found. They would revisit the events
that took place that night.

Prankster would take a girl and hold her hostage
making his way to the rooftop Infantry would make his way there leading to a
standoff. Frank would hold him close to the edge at gunpoint The Outsider
would try to defuse the situation. The girl would be killed after a gunshot to
the head Frank would unload a clip into Prankster as he falls over the ledge of
the rooftop. Michael would not be able to stop this in time and would blame
himself and Frank for crossing the line. They would go back to being the
friends they once were as Michael and Alicia would help pull him back.
