## Appearance

### **Physical Description**

Tony is in similar shape to his father was. He's got a well-toned and super athletic physique paired with fair skin and a small scar under his eye from a childhood accident . His hair is practically shaved and his face is clean-shave. His eyes are blazing blue and shine with years worth of anger.

### **Civilian Appearance**

Before he'd been apprehended by one of the "heroes" in Red Haven, Tony kept up with some of his civilian appearances. During these moments, he tended to wear business suits with dress shoes quite regularly. Now he's forced to wear an orange jumpsuit went he's not on a mission for the SSA Dark.

### **Mission Wear**

During his missions, Tony dons his father's old Avenger costume. The same old black, nanofibre suit with black gloves, boots, and the utility belt. The biggest ateration to the costume was what Tony did to the cowl:working infradred goggles into the cowl, changing the eyes on the cowl to red in the process, and dying the 'A' onthe forehead blood red (with Caponi's blood of course.

## Personality

Tony has more rage and less control over it than his father did. His craving for vengeance culled his sense of reason and led him to kill Caponi in retribution for the death of his father just months after his murder. Tony wasn't afraid of the consequences of his actions because the consequences are afraid of him.

Tony managed to bring to attention the brutal way he handled criminals in Red Haven and was soon reffered to by the police and the media as a "murderous copycat of a hero" and the "Dark Avenger."

People were terrified to stand against him but were true enought to their standards to acknowledge that Tony was no hero. He was a psychopath that needed to be taken down!

## History

All his life, Tony just wanted to be like his father. A classic tale of father is they boy's hero; however, Tony believed that one day, the mantle would be his. To his dismay, his father had a sidekick set to inherit the mantle rather than him. This led him to begin training in order to prove he was better than the sidekick of The Avenger. He believed that he should have been Kismet, that the mantle of Avenger would one day be his and no one else's.

His anger drove his existence and spite became his all consuming force that danged false promises of glory in front of him. Then, many, oh so many, years later, the unthinkable happened. The Avenger was killed! His killer? None other than the known archenemy himself, Leonardo Caponi! Consumed by the promise of vengeance and the lack of his father's former sidekick to carry on the mantle, Tony finally got his wish! He was Avenger, him and no one else! And he wanted veangeance for the death of his father. There was nothing, no one, to stop him form taking it.

It was only a couple months after the death of his father that he finally got his chance to get his vengeance on the man who took his father. Tony got more than justice for his father, he got cold-blooded vengeance against Leonardo Caponi! At the hands of the son of The Avenger, the life of the king of crime, and the legacy of Howard Wayne, was snuffed out.
