- Tom was a brilliant inventor who lived in Shopton, New York, with his father, Barton Swift. Like his father, Tom had a genius for mechanical engineering, and from an early age, he began building things like boats and motorcycles. Soon, he graduated to building more advanced technology, such as his air ship, The Red Cloud. Eventually, he began building vehicles and devices of his own design, far more advanced than anything existing at the time. Tom held numerous patents, and he was constantly forced to protect his newest inventions from unscrupulous souls who wished to steal them. Tom's primary nemesis was Andy Foger.

Eventually, he began building vehicles and devices of his own design, far more advanced than anything existing at the time. Tom held numerous patents, and he was constantly forced to protect his newest inventions from unscrupulous souls who wished to steal them. Tom's primary nemesis was Andy Foger. Tom travelled the world (and under it), often looking for treasures, and experienced many fantastic adventures along the way. His airship, the Red Cloud crashed in the Arctic and was later replaced by the smaller dirigible called "The Black Hawk," a larger one called "The Falcon," and a long range one called "The Flyer." He also built the fast monoplanes, "The Butterfly," "The Humming-Bird," and "The Lark" (in that order), as well as a glider called "The Vulture." During World War I, he supplied the United States government and its allies with a variety of weapons, including a giant cannon, an aerial warship and a powerful tank. Perhaps his most famous invention was the electric rifle which was a weapon that projected a powerful electrical charge, capable of destroying a small hut.
