History
Boone was one of the founders of the super-team Brigade alongside Lethal, Battlestone and Kayo. When Stone ditched him, Boone developed a grudge and set out to work on his own.[2]
In 1993, Boone infiltrated a hi-tech facility guided via radio by an associate code-named Hacker. Once Boone defeated the last of the facility’s security guards, he turned to find Battlestone standing with Hacker, looking for help.[1] It took some effort, but Boone was convinced to hear Battlestone out. He took him and Hacker back to the Los Angeles branch of G.A.T.E. International, where he explained Brigade was under attack by Bloodstrike, a top-secret strike force led by his brother Cabbot Stone who were acting under orders of Washington to take down Brigade. Bloodstrike had already murdered one of their members, Stasis, and captured Kayo and Seahawk. Boone questioned why he should help Battlestone considering he had ran out on him, but Stone said he was trying to make the best out of a bad situation.[3]
After thinking it over, Boone agreed to join Brigade, because Stone was one of the only friends he had. Immediately afterwards, they were assaulted by Bloodstrike, but the fight was interrupted by the appearance of Brigade member Coldsnap, whose powers had malfunctioned and caused his body to mutate into a enormous ice monster.[4] Coldsnap took on Bloodstrike, giving Battlestone, Boone, and Thermal time to regroup. The two teams battled until Shogun blasted Coldsnap through a wall, revealing Stasis’s body in a resurrection chamber in the next room. Cabbot was enraged and vowed to stop Stasis's resurrection. Just then, Lethal and Seahawk teleported in.[5]
Boone engaged Bloodstrike member Fourplay, but was frozen in place by the powers of another Bloodstrike member, Tag. Fortunately, Tag was stunned by the arrival of two Brigade members, Kayo and Martin Grant. Meanwhile, Battlestone and Cabbot argued and beat the crap out of each other until Battlestone told Cabbot to leave Brigade alone or else he would expose Project: Born Again to the public. Finally, Cabbot told Battlestone to kill him, but Battlestone refused, saying letting him live was even worse, and left with Brigade. Brigade flew away in their jet, and Battlestone warned the team that Bloodstrike would come after them again, but letting them go sent a message to the puppet masters controlling their strings.[6]
