HISTORY

The origin of the artifact known as the Achilles Vest is pretty much unknown. What is known is that Hero Cruz, a middle class child in Metropolis, accidentally found a treasure trove of weapons assembled by the villainous Scavenger (II). Among the weapons secured was the Vest, which grants the wearer invulnerability. Hero stole the Vest and used his new superpower to join the intergalactic teen rave known as the Event Horizon. Soon, Hero became one of the founders of the Horizon sub-team known as the Ravers. When Scavenger eventually discovered that the Vest was missing, he attacked the Ravers. Encountering the Scavenger in his HQ, the Ravers defeated the villain (temporarily), and Hero abandoned the Achilles Vest in favour of an even more powerful weapon – the Hero Dial.
