Changes: Curtis Metcalf (Earth M)

A genius scientist and poster-boy for Alva Industries, Curtis Metcalf was blamed for causing Dakota City's Big Bang by his own former boss, Edwin Alva. To protect himself, Curtis developed a suit of power armor to wear while he tried to clear his name and get vengeance on Alva as Hardware.
