Shockblast was the youngest member of the Detriot Police Department S.W.A.T. Team, and the holder of two citations for bravery when he signed up for, and was accepted by, the Joe Team. He was also a choir boy in the local church, a tenor. Every Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) team needs a 'Door-Kicker", he's the guy who crashes through the barricade first with all weapons blazing to find out how bad the situation really is. This requires an individual who is not only absolutely fearless, but once an entry point is breached, he must also be sharp-minded enough to instantly distinguish the enemy from the innocent bystanders. Ultimately, he calls the shots, whether to press the attack or retreat - usually in pure darkness and surrounded by smoke, gunfire, and explosions!
