## Summary

Blade is the leader of the teenage superhero team The Immortals. His team was erroneously led to believe that This City Fights Back was a villain team and had duped the teenage Leaping Kid into working for them and made an effort to rescue him.

## History

Robert McConley grew up in an abusive home environment and ran away at an early age once his powers developed. He became friends with Jason Monroe (Zapper). Tough McConley is a couple years older, he is very similar in personality and hardships, and the two formed a unique bond.

The two looked out for one another as much as possible living on the streets. After an incident with the police they were finally found and convinced to join the Omni Men or be given to federal authorities and (they believed) drafted into a black ops group. The two begrudgingly decided to go the superhero route. McConley and Monroe frequently clashed with the adults in the Omni Men, especially Everman, and ultimately left to form their own team, The Immortals.

### Encounter with This City Fights Back

In 2012 Man of God, a superhero from Century City, approached them because he feared that Leaping Kid was being exploited by This City Fights Back, based on his fears that they were working for the Italian Mafia in that city.

As a result The Immortals agreed to help Man of God face This City Fights Back, leading to a skirmish in Century City. The fight was brutal, but was ultimately aborted when the two teams were able to communicate and learn that they were unknowingly being manipulated by the mob and that Leaping Kid was there of his own will and not being exploited by his teammates.

### Alien Invasion

During the Xythonian invasion in 2013 Blade and the Immortals did their best to help defend Amsterdam City. The government eventually approached him and asked him to join a team to go into space and attack the Xyhtonian flagship because in his metal form he was immune to the vacuum of space. He agreed and along with The Professor, Paladin, Squire, Changeling, Union Jack and the villain mercenary Red Menace he was sent into space to attack the flagship.

The attack proved a crucial distraction to the head of the invading aliens that allowed The Sentinels the time they needed to save the day.

## Physical Abilities
