Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Grew Up... in the armed forces. Nathan Spencer began his military career in the United States military. Unfortunately, a grenade explosion robbed him of his left arm and a normal future.
Living... in Ascension City. The city is Spencer’s base of operations. He is even honored in Ascension City’s Avenue of Heroes for defeating a revived Adolf Hitler and rescuing legendary commando “Super” Joe Gibson. However, the city is also ground zero of the BioReign attack.
Profession... Bionic Commando. Thanks to the Tactical Arms and Security Committee, or TASC, Spencer was given an advanced robotic arm. His nickname “Rad” comes from his codename “Research and Development #1.” He is now a highly effective bionic commando.
Interests... mastering his bionic arm. Although Spencer was already the most proficient bionic commando, he still has a lot to learn in order to perfect his full capabilities. The arm’s guns and powerful grappling hook make it perfect for combat and locomotion. However, as he says, “It’s the man that counts, not the machine.”
Relationship Status... separated. Nathan’s wife has mysteriously gone missing, and he is determined to find her. Gibson knows something about it, but he won’t share anything with Spencer until the mission is complete.
Challenge... stopping BioReign. As bionic implants became more common, humanity eventually began to fear them. When anti-bionic hysteria was at a fever pitch, Spencer was falsely imprisoned for being a bionic terrorist. Now, to clear his name, he must stop whoever is really behind the deadly “BioReign” attacks.
Personality... despondent. With his wife missing, his arm mutilated, and his freedom in jeopardy, Spencer doesn’t feel quite so rad. And it’s hard to blame him.

For two years, your people have struggled against the relentless onslaught of invading forces. With your army reduced to a handful and your artillery depleted, further resistance seems impossible.

Combined with an arsenal of rapid-fire, armor-piercing, and heat-seeking weaponry, this will put the power of an entire army in the hands of one man... one carefully chosen soldier, who has what it takes to become a new breed of unstoppable commando... a Bionic Commando. And you are that soldier! Your mission will take you through the heavily-patrolled wilderness surrounding the enemy headquarters, and into the very heart of the fortress itself. Even to the most courageous soldier, it would seem an impossible challenge. But there has never been a soldier like the Bionic Commando!
