Abilities and Powers

Trainwreck is a case 53 tinker who needed to build himself a body, lacking proper limbs of his own.<ref name="R1">Comment by Wildbow on Reddit</ref> He's a "crude tinker" who can work with scrap and develop something that works surprisingly well. His gear is fairly limited, but he can build it fast and he can build it with parts from a rusted old car<ref name="SB1">Comment by Wildbow on Spaccebattles</ref>. He ended up using several steam-powered sets of armor<ref name="list">Wildbow's Parahuman List</ref> when he operated as a cape.

History

Background

Trainwreck is a Case 53 - an amnesiac with physical alterations as well as powers, who woke up in a strange city with no memories.

Story Start

After the Undersiders led Armsmaster and Dauntless into a garage, Trickster teleported Armsmaster to Trainwreck. Trainwreck grabbed Armsmaster and slammed him against the hood of a car. Armsmaster managed to fight his way free where he fought against Trainwreck and Genesis until Trickster swapped out his Halberd for a car bumper. Trainwreck grabbed Armsmaster and started beating him against the car.<ref name ="6.7">Tangle 6.7</ref>

Trainwreck then dumped a bloody and beaten Armsmaster next to Dauntless. He then examined Armsmaster's Halberd before crushing it and dumping the remains over the fallen heroes.<ref name = "6.7"/>
