Character History

Most people think that James Harmon IV is just a shiftless womanizing playboy barely carrying on with the family business.

But in truth, James follows a long family line of heroes. His great-grandfather, James I, explored the wild jungles of Africa. His grandfather, James II, was a member of the famed Chicago Prohibition fighters known as "The Untouchables". His father, James III, served with distinction and honor in World War II and built the powerful defense contracting company known as Harmon Industries.

At first, James IV lived up to the hype of a silver-spoon playboy, much to his family's disappointment.

But then he witnessed first-hand the devastation caused by Doctor Destroyer in the Battle of Detroit. The deaths of thousands, the billions in destruction, the loss of friends and family members, and the shock and horror of it all left James asking what he could do about it.

Using the latest of his company's technology, he created a power-suit and called himself "Defender".
