Description
Real Name: Paul Johnstone
Group: Brigade
First Appearance: Youngblood #2 June 1992

Paul Johnstone is a superhero bent on saving those who have wrongs forced upon them. He unofficially first appeared in Malibu Sun free promotional magazine (May, 1992).

Paul Johnstone grew up as a troubled youth in Harlem, New York. He avoided a life of crime due in part to the encouragement of a man named Richard Woodroe, who was originally assigned as a caseworker to Paul when he was caught stealing.

Eventually Paul became a lawyer and, beyond that, a district attorney. Dealing with various criminals, he eventually encountered a group of mobsters who put pressure on him for some undisclosed reasons. After Paul's refusal to back down from them, he ended up the target of an assault intended to serve as an example to others who got in the way of these mobsters. This incident culminated in his attackers injecting him with HIV-infected blood.

After the encounter, Johnstone was left uncertain regarding whether he had been infected or not. The attack had been made public and word of his possible infection spread through Johnstone's workplace, making it a very inhospitable environment to be in. Tensions between Johnstone and one of his co-workers led to an altercation between the two which landed Johnstone out of a job and in jail.

After he was released Paul received medical confirmation that he was HIV positive. He descended into a depression while in the hospital. During this time he resolved that he would use the rest of his time to dispense justice to individuals who preyed on innocent victims. One of his friends, a cop named Christina Reid, was also in the hospital and came to visit him. She informed Paul that she and a man named Carlton Sun had been developing an exo-skeleton suit of armor that could help aid him in accomplishing this task.
