The Looks

Physically imposing, with faded medium-length hair and stubble. Sharp features on the face including a notable scar above the right eye from a gunshot wound. He looks his age, years of war have taken much of the vibrancy from his face, along with a permanent scowl. He is donned in an all black spec-ops uniform with a matching tactical vest. There is a distinct emblem on the left breast-side of his vest, a small white wolf which clearly carries some significance.

The Legacy

Personality: Remedy is a natural leader, who is constantly assessing whatever situation he finds himself in and commands other heroes on the battlefield as if they were his soldiers. He believes that strong teamwork can solve any problem, and because of this is fuelled by ruthless efficiency. Remedy possesses an alarming amount of cynicism as well as a cruelly dry wit, his presence is one that commands respect due to his combination of skill and humanity. Motivated by a deep and rooted hatred for evil, Remedy is often at odds with his own morality as his brutal methods of dispatching enemies have him wrestling his own position within the dichotomy of heroes and villains. Despite being willing to commit actions that could be perceived as "evil", Remedy insists he leans more to the hero side, as his sole goal is to eradicate evil by any means necessary.

History: Born in 1971 to Richard and Catherine Fisher, baby John Fisher was destined to fight from day one. After watching Way of the Dragon when he was 4 years old, John wanted to be the next Bruce Lee and begged his parents to take him to karate lessons. The young boy excelled in his classes and was recommended for one-on-one tutelage with the legendary practitioner Morio Higaonna at the age of 7 after earning his black belt. Moving to Japan, he earned his third dan at just 16, becoming the joint-youngest holder of the third dan rank in history.

Moving back to America, Fisher enlisted in the US military as his father had fallen ill, with his mother retired and him being an only child, it was Fisher's job to provide for his family. He thrived in the military, growing a strong respect for discipline and solving problems in high pressure situations. Despite not regularly gaining combat experience, John trained intensely every day, incorporating Krav Maga and knife play into his karate background, thus formulating a unique fighting style that he dubbed "BOMB" (Breaking Of Mind and Body). Whilst on patrol during Operation Desert Storm, Fisher's unit were hit with an insurgent ambush and all but three of the men (including Fisher) were dead. Refusing to panic, Fisher took advantage of his surroundings, quickly identifying the number of targets based on the relative quickness of his squad being wiped out. Fisher was aware that a sandstorm was rolling in, and quickly hid him and his remaining men under some dead bodies until the storm hit. Moving hard and fast once the storm had provided him with ample cover, Fisher proceeded to pick off the enemy one-by-one, snapping the limbs and slitting the throats of anything that moved.

After the storm had cleared, Fisher had saved his men and neutralised a huge threat. Upon being rescued by back-up, he felt an intense pain in his head and had realised he had been shot just above his right eye and passed out not long after. He miraculously survived his injury without any apparent permanent damage and was serving again within a matter of weeks. His incredible performance in the field led to a recommendation for a new covert unit designed to mould exceptional front line soldiers into a world class spec ops unit. Through rigorous field testing, the unit known as WOLF (Wetwork Operative Lethal Forces) became battle hardened, with John Fisher being the stand out.

However, the soldiers of WOLF had been lied to by their government. The missions they had been sent on were not sanctioned and officially didn't exist, during one such mission, the entire squad was assassinated by an elite unit that outnumbered them 5 to 1. The entire program had been a smokescreen for finding the ideal candidate for a super soldier experiment. John Fisher's life was spared and he was chemically enhanced over a period of 6 months, amplifying his already fine-tuned abilities, John also gained what one may deem as superpowers. The experiment's purpose was to create a superhero that would be accountable to the US military and would be used to hunt down both heroes and villains alike that were perceived as threats by the government.

Being sent on countless search and destroy missions, Fisher was constantly told that he was "a cure", but he secretly hated his country for betraying him. Plotting his revenge over a number of years between missions, Fisher was able eliminate everyone connected with his experiment, but in the process was now a man without a country or cause. In an attempt to flush him out of hiding, his parents were killed by the CIA, but he was totally off the grid.

Fisher now knew what he had to do, his purpose was to be a cure, a cure for the evil in the world, regardless of whose side they were on. Taking the name Remedy and wearing his WOLF squad's emblem to commemorate his fallen brothers, he decided to be a hero rather than the hero killer he was created to be. Altering his appearance with plastic surgery (but opting to keep the scar from being shot in the head as a reminder of what it means to be close to death) and severing all ties with those he knew and loved, he now operates as a fragile ally with the heroes of the world, hellbent on ending the scourge of villainy all around him. John Fisher is dead, only Remedy remains.
