History
In 1992, Frank Herbert, using the codename Decibel, was part of the super-team called Heavy Mettle alongside Skyraker, Riot and Menagerie, working under orders of Jason Temple to protect the G.A.T.E. International building. Decibel had constant tension with Skyraker due to his alien nature, leading Temple to search for a leader for the team.[2]
Shortly after, Heavy Mettle were tasked with stopping the hero called Supreme from murdering inmate Zachariah Grizlock, who was an essential asset for G.A.T.E. International. Decibel shot sonic energy at Supreme, but he realized Supreme was invulnerable, so he threw Supreme into the open so that the rest of the team could collaborate. When this failed as well, Decibel changed tactics, explaining to Supreme Grizlock had helped the entire nation and that their boss Temple could explain everything. Supreme agreed to visit G.A.T.E. International Headquarters for five minutes, which was more than enough for Temple to convince Supreme to join Heavy Mettle as field team leader.[3]Attributes
