Flyborgs:
Stockman's extensive research and experimentation with genetics has yielded quite a bit of
fruit. His most popular are his flyborgs. They are cybernetically enhanced mutant flies. Massively
reproducable, they have cybernetic mental controls, which he or another assigned user can utilize.
They can lift fifty times their body weight, or about 500 pounds (227 kg). They are small, making
them often a surprise to their foes, for they have strong enough exoskeletons that anything less
than an assault round will have trouble penetrating their natural armor.
Because they
have limited mental capacity, if the cybernetics are removed or disabled, they could be fodder for a
psychic, for they have almost no ability to resist. If they have no controller, and are given their
free will, they are primalistic, acting in a basic primalistic mode with a minimal ability to
speak.
They can fly about 40 mph, and given that they have gossamer wings, it is the weakest
part of their body.
Inventions:
As someone who is constantly pushing the envelope of discovery, Stockman is frequently seen
with a new robotic or genetic creation. Some of these are legitimate, and some of them are not, but
he can keep his enemies on their toes due to the radical creations that he may come up with to
counter his enemies.
M.o.u.s.e.r.s.:
Minefield Ordinance Unarming System Enhanced Robots. The mousers were designed by TCRI, the
military contract branch of StockGen. They can be set to automatic, filling a predetermined
function, or they can be remote controlled by a user. The advanced wireless connection makes them
able to even receive signals through large amounts of interference such as stone and metal.
Most mousers stand about one foot in heigh, and have jaws capable of producing over 3500 psi. They
were designed for the purpose of disposing of mines, and as such are incredibly durable. The
interior of their mouths can withstand that same amount of PSI, making them not only able to contain
the blast of most anti-personell mines, but also that of a shape charge or directional
explosive.
They are not invincible, as they can be more easily damaged and destroyed from
the outside, particularly at the neck and leg joints. They weigh approximately 9 lbs.
Mega Mousers: Mega Mousers are designed to contain significantly stronger amounts of explosives, and
are designed for situations where more significant threats may exist. Standing 9 feet in height and
weighing 1200 lbs, Their jaws have a psi of 90,000 PSI, able to contain significant C4 charge
explosions, though such might still destroy the mouser, it will protect anyone outside it's maw. In
addition, Megamousers are a remote arsenal, a dual purpose of being able to assist a military
operation with low yield seeker missiles, .50 caliber machine guns, and infrared sweepers.
Military Contracts:
Through his business with StockGen, Baxter has access to some military sensitive info, but of
course only as far as his contracts permit.
Staff:
What Stockman lacks in personality, he makes up for in paychecks. His staff often will stay
with him despite his lack of interpersonal skills because he offers solid benefits and very
competitive pay. Not to mention he usually has some sort of blackmail that can be enacted if they
ever tried to rat him out. That doesn't mean they are loyal to a person, but it means that he
definitely has manpower to carry out his plans.
Stockgen:
StockGen is a multi-national private enterprise that Baxter owns himself. There's no board
of directors to answer to. Just him. StockGen Tower is located in Midtown NYC, the headquarters for
all of Stockgen's business, and it also houses a good portion of the robotic engineering facilities.
In addition, there are laboratories scattered across the USA and the globe, with the highest
concentration of them being in the USA and in Europe. StockGen has several
departments:
Genetic Research
Reverse Engineering
Neuroscience
Robotic Engineering
and Design
Medical Robotic Design
Pharmaceutical Science
Military Research
Tcri:
Techno Cosmic Research Institute is a large technology firm that is a child company of StockGen.
It's focus is on Electronic and Robotic research, and is the birthplace of the MOUSERS and much of
the technology used in the Flyborgs. It has access to select government sensitive information (as
approved by staff for RP/TP purposes) as it usually the part of Stockman's resources taking part in
government research contracts for the military.
