Mister Twister is a robotic suit created by T.O. Morrow and Brom Stikk.
Physical appearance[]
Mister Twister is a heavily armored mechanized suit. Being of the same creator, the suit shares sensibilities with Red Tornado's design, notably the crimson red chassis and humanoid face-plate; however, that is where the similarities end. The suit is hulking in comparison, though surprisingly agile enough to dodge attacks. It manipulates whirlwinds using turbines located on either forearm, which connect to a larger contraption accenting the torso. To top it off, a tattered brown scarf around the neck adds stylish flair to design.
The interior operator enters and ejects from the cockpit via opening the torso.
History[]
2010[]
|
Along with T.O. Morrow, Brom Stikk created a powered suit capable of generating tornados and controlling the weather in a manner similar to Red Tornado. He wanted to wear the suit in an attempt to flush out and reprogram Red Tornado, but T.O. Morrow convinced him not to wear the suit himself. Instead, he developed a lifelike android replica of himself. This android traveled to Happy Harbor to find Red Tornado, and attacked the Happy Harbor Power Plant. He was interrupted by the Team, who soon assumed that he was Red Tornado testing them. They realized their mistake when Mister Twister was able to produce incredibly powerful weather phenomena including additional elemental manipulation.
Mister Twister engages the young heroes.
The Team eventually managed to defeat him through coordinated teamwork. They destroyed the suit and Miss Martian crushed the android replica of Brom Stikk under a rock.[2]
Abilities and equipment[]
The Mister Twister armor is capable of controlling and creating whirlwinds similar to Red Tornado. He can also generate electricity in the form of lightning.
