Description City of Heroes character.

One of the very first characters I made back in 2004 was a hero named Air Force, whose real name was Dayton Wright. (Wright-Patt air force base is in Dayton, Ohio. See what I did there?)

On a parallel Earth accessed by Portal Corp, the hero Air Force encountered his evil doppelganger who stole the designs for his "smart fabric" flight suit and called himself Air Strike. After several battles, Air Force captured Air Strike and sent him to the Zig. (I did an AE series of missions and everything back in the day.) Both versions of Dayton Wright had daughters. Air Force's daughter Xenia grew up to become Air Speed (above) while Air Strike's daughter Zephyr became Air Raid.

I grew up in Dayton but spent part of my youth in Beavercreek, which is halfway between Dayton and Xenia. Hence Air Speed's name.

This second coming of CoH, which I never thought would happen, has let me revisit my legacy characters. Some have grown up, like Mighty Lad becoming Mighty Man, while the offspring of previous characters are coming to the fore as the next generation of young heroes, such as Bamboom following in the footsteps of his father, Boom-Boom the Panda.
