HISTORY: The
F.I.S.T. (Flying Infantry Shock Trooper) is tasked by the U.S.
government with terminating Super-Criminals threats. Limited
success was the result of an initial run with a number of robot
versions prior to the Piloted F.I.S.T. Unit. The Robotic Units
required far too much initial expense, continued upkeep and oversight
to be selected for active duty. Currently, a number of these
units exist in service that have been kept operational until
successful completion of the Piloted Units. To date, only 1 operational
Piloted F.I.S.T. Unit has been deployed.
However, that Unit was destroyed along with its pilot in the battle occurring
when the Super-Criminal group Spades sieged the U.S. base running the
F.I.S.T. program. That base, too, was annihilated—the super scientists
responsible crushed under blocks of concrete. As expected, the government
has moved operations and begun anew, questing for results from the notes
left behind.
SUPER POWERS: F.I.S.T. armor allows
it's pilot to achieve super-human physical strength and endurance
with the upper limits unknown. The suit provides a considerable
amount of protection for the pilot and can deflect conventional
hand held-weapons. However, it was a direct hit from an air-to-surface
missile that destroyed the only operational F.I.S.T. unit. For
offense the unit can be equipped with a variety of wrist attachments.
The most common is a duel-linked firearm with ammunition equivalent
to that fired by an M60 and each wrist containing 150 rounds.
