HISTORY 

Leo Morez grew up in a broken family. His father was a petty thief and his mother a prostitute. They were both crack addicts. Leo stole to feed his younger sister, Mathilda, who also suffered from lung disease. Leo was discovered stealing from the institute he attended and was sent to reformatory, leaving Mathilda alone with their parents. When Leo managed to escape and return home he found his sister dead. Their parents, drugged, had left her to die. Leo set fire to the apartment and left them to their fate. He traveled the country surviving as best he could until he came of age and enlisted in the Special Forces. He seemed like he had found his place in the world, but after a fight in which he almost killed a superior, he was expelled from the army. He returned to his old neighborhood and found it even worse than when he left. He decided to do something using the skills he had acquired as a military man and became a vigilante, The Black Cobra. He cleaned the streets of drugs, but filled the sidewalks with blood... In the end he was arrested and he went to jail. He soon escaped from prison, but something had changed inside him and he ended up becoming a gun for hire. 

POWERS & WEAPONS

His Black Cobra uniform is made of Kevlar with carbon fiber reinforcement, very resistant to small-caliber impacts. The suit also has a hidden needle in its wrist capable of injecting a neurotoxin similar to cobra venom.
