    Whoah, no more Vorts? Don't worry, I just need a little time to think of something.

    In the mean time I will post the sencond STRYKER Max Cortez:

    As usual I couldn't decide what was better so I posted both versions. Oh and for some odd reason, his hands turned all black, don't know why.

    Max: Right
    Ian: Left




    Oh and the write up is unrelated to the picture in the sense that they're not the same situations.

    Max Cortez was a Spanish-born American who, like many people, migrated to Ark City at the age of eighteen with his two years younger brother Dominic. They quickly adapted to the city and joined a gang known as The Brotherhood. Their business was simple; steal cars, sell the parts, elude the cops, and maintain property from rival gangs. For several years, the business was good. Both Dominic and Max had grown a reputation for their seemingly natural talent at taking on the occasional gang raids. Their reputation had even grown some distaste among some members too. Two years after their initiation into the gang, Kaspar Ironside better known as "Hammer", was appointed the new leader of The Brotherhood. Hammer had grown jealous of the brothers, specifically Max. Just a couple weeks before Kaspar's promotion Max had met Valerie Ironside, Kaspar's sister and Max's future wife. Max's affairs in the gang were unknown to Valerie. In fact Valerie had no idea that Max was part of The Brotherhood, and Max liked it that way. Eventually Kaspar had found out about this and Max's involvement with The Brotherhood was exposed to Valerie. Nevertheless, Valerie remained with him. Kaspar had grown so much hatred towards Max, that he organized a 'special mission' for him for a buyer who would pay handsomely both the retriever and the seller. The mission was apparently simple, pick up a car from a warehouse. What Max was unaware of was that the warehouse was in the territory of a rival gang. He snuck into the warehouse easily and before he could get in the car and drive off with it, he found himself surrounded by men armed with weapons ranging from crowbars to iron chains. Though widely outmatched Max picked up the closest weapon he could find and put up quite a fight. Despite his efforts he was beat down and was tossed in an alley and left to die. Desperate for help Max crawled onto the sidewalk.
    There was no way Max could tell at that moment, but his entire life was about to change. On the sidewalk Max encountered a man named Anthony Charmichael. As the man stared down at him, Max got up on his knees pleading for help. The man helped him up and helped him walk to the man's nearby car. Max was taken to a part of the city out of bounds from the gang's control. Anthony explained how he was a man who recognizes special talents and helps people in need, and how he was the dignitary of an elite and secretive group of law enforcement known as The STRYKER Corp. Upon arriving at an unmarked skyscraper, Anthony gave Max to some ready doctors. Max would have resisted, if he hadn't lost the amounts of blood he did. A few months later Max's wounds were completely healed and he demanded an explanation from Anthony Charmichael. Charmichael explained that he wanted Max in his STRYKER program, where he would uphold justice in the city from forces of corruption and tyranny. With no place to go, the worry of his brother continually on his mind, and the want to see Valerie again, forced him to accept. Max was trained in many forms of martial arts and firearms and began studying multiple languages. Approximately a year and six months later, Max finally got the chance for revenge, although not encouraged by The Corps., where Kaspar had apparently gone too far and began to take over the other gangs thus a quarter of the city. The Corps. knew the Ark Tactical Command (regular law enforcement) would be down right useless if things expanded further. Charmichael assigned for Max and another STRYKER Agent named Ian Malcolms to take Kaspar down permanently. This partnership would be the start of a strong bond for them both.
    Max and Ian, made their way to Kaspar easily. Max confronted Kaspar declaring vengeance and was about to execute Kaspar when Valerie saw what was happening. Max stood in utter abasement, overjoyed to see her and lay down his weapon. Ian understood what was happening and put Kaspar in cuffs. Max embraced Valerie after so long missing her. Moments later Max met Dominic outside while about to take Kaspar off to jail. Dominic was speechless at the facts that; his brother lived, he came back, and took down Kaspar. Max had learned that Dominic had a death warrant on his head for challenging Kaspar's authority. He suggested that Dominic join the STRYKERS and they could be together. Instead Dominic decided to stay and repair The Brotherhood and resort to non-illegal business.
    Two months later Max and Valerie got married and had a child they named Barbara. To this day Max Cortez and Ian Malcolms work in The Corps. upholding justice and stability against forces of tyranny and destruction.

    You know, the black hands sort of suit the scene, like he's inspecting the body with gloves.

    Love everything about it aside from the clipping on the inside of his suit. But it's not that noticeable.
