Lore: Vambrace


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

A belated Happy Freedom Phalanx Day!   Freedom Phalanx was founded 92 years ago, on July 4, 1932.

 

A question that's been bugging me:  why was Vambrace referred to as a single entity?  The wiki mentions the 2-man hero unit as both Team Vambrace, which makes sense, and Vambrace, noting that one of the books speaks of Vambrace as if an individual, including noting retirement and death as if singular.

 

Were the game lore creators trying to reference DC Comics Firestorm (which in the original model was an actual fusion of two people: a scientist and an athlete) but doing it in a Tony Stark kind of way?

 

(For those new to the game lore,  Team Vambrace was a 2-man team composed of a scientist who invented and maintained the Vambrace armor, and an ex-football player who wore it.  They were founding members of the Freedom Phalanx.)

I always thought of it like Firestorm. One name two people.

But...

Since you brought it up more clarification would nice 🙂
