I love the old 1980s cartoon series MASK (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand). If you never heard of them they are a highly trained international special mission team that wage war against their polar opposites VENOM (the Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem), an international terrorist group dedicated to wealth and power by force. Both teams use illusion as their ultimate weapons in their goals and each team possess ordinary vehicles that can become high tech war machines.

If GI Joe and Transformers had a child, MASK would be it.

Miles Mayhem is the founder and leader of the mercenary terrorist group VENOM. A former Major in the United States Air Force, Miles was chosen by the PNA (Peaceful Nations Alliance) to help develop MASK with the Trakker brothers.

Resentful of his status in the group as an advisor and craving the wealth and power he could gain using the MASK technology, Mile betrayed the group, wiped out the original team including it's leader Joseph Trakker during their desert trials and stole half the plans for the MASK vehicles and helmets.

Unknown to Miles he had only stolen half the plans and the others were in the possession of Andy Trakker, whom he left for dead in a burning building. Andy was rescued by his older brother Matt who survived the desert ambush and was given the rest of the plans shortly before Andy succumbed to his wounds and died.

Because of this Miles Mayhem ironically created his own worst enemy Matt Trakker to forever hunt him down and foil his plans.

Codenamed Wolf, Mayhem has proven to be a ruthless and cold-blooded genius often going to great lengths and formulating complex schemes to gain vast amounts of wealth to finance his team as well as anyone who hires them.

Besides his lust for power Mayhem is obsessed with destroying MASK and finishing the job he started years ago. Miles also wears a modified version of his USAF uniform complete with his medals and rank on most missions to signify his leadership position which he feels commands the respect of others.

Miles Mayhem pilots Switchblade, a heavily armed fast attack helicopter that transforms into a fighter jet which is radar invisible. Switchblade can hover in "silent mode" when in helicopter mode and unlike standard helicopters it doesn't need a tail rotor to stabilize its flight.

Miles most often wears Viper mask, which can shoot high-pressure streams of a corrosive and poisonous acid that can eat through most materials it touches including most metals fabrics and flesh. The time it takes to dissolve said material depends on the thickness and density of the material. Most metals take minutes to melt while more delicate things like standard clothing and human flesh take seconds to burn through.

The Acid itself is highly poisonous and can sicken or kill a human if a significant amount makes it's way into the victim's bloodstream unless they get immediate medical attention and a special antidote developed by MASK is injected into the victim.

Miles Mayhem has coated his uniform and vehicle with a solvent that renders the acid harmless to it. Viper Mask can also shoot streams of this special solvent out as well to turn the acid into a base. For instance, if the mask is used to burn into a bank vault, the solvent can be shot out to stop the acid from eating through the rest of the door and making it safe for others to pass through the hole to get at it's contents.
Miles' uniform, mask and Switchblade are made of or treated with that solvent or made from materials immune to the effects of the acid.

Like his counterpart in MASK, Miles wants to always be ready for whatever the team and more importantly he may encounter on his campaigns of terror. Miles wears the most masks of any member of the team, many developed for special missions or tasks. Miles is also pilot and/or co-pilot of Outlaw, Venom's Revenge, Buzzard, Wolfbeast and Ratfang.
