The man who would become Flag-Smasher was the son of an ambassador. As such, he saw all of the war and violence in the world. He also saw the attempts to end the fights that were futile. After his father was killed by an angry mob, he decided to end war with the only language he felt was universal, violence. He became a pure anarchist, hating any form of government and seeking a one-world order. Flag-Smasher has a durable armor-suit, as well as goggles that are resistant to bright lights. He wields a mace as a weapon, but sometimes uses guns and flamethrowers.
