Rebel (a.k.a. Connor O"Reilly)- Engineer and former colleague of Anthony Stark, the Stanford graduate blamed the initial failure of his start-up company in 1994 to pressures by the mutant community and an overinvasive federal government. His unwillingness to follow basic safety and labor codes earned him the nickname "Rebel" by federal prosecutors. Financially and publicly humiliated by legal investigations, O'Reilly, with his assisstant Abner Ronald Jenkins went underground, along with his files on armor-weaponry. In 1995, he worked with several major right-wing militia groups in an effort to gain fundung for several projects, including the bombing of the Federal Building in Dallas, Texas (1996) and the raid on the federal armory in Arlington, Virginia (1997). In 1998, he earned international underground fame after creating the illegal website Sapient Deathmatch, wherein mutants would fight illegal cage matches against men in armor. By 2000, according to SHIELD and INTERPOL reports, O'Reilly had been actively selling armor-based weapons to right-wing militias in Latveria, Wakanda, Myanmar, Germany, Spain, Nigeria, and Indonesia. In 2001, he helped form the Underground Human Reisistance (UHR) which has developed a new threat, along with his active network of sale of armor-weapons.
Based on research by Dr. Henry Prm, M.D. and Dr. Kavitra Rao, M.D., he has created a new "genome weapon", which effectively nullifies a mutant's powers with either passive spray, an active injection, or vapor gas emission, often spread in the form of a small explosive. Effectively, many militia members have called this the "poor man's Seninel", and have sold this weapon on the black market. Despite challenges by the FCC, the formula for the genome weapon is easily displayed on the Internet. The effectiveness of the weapon is based solely on the purity and refinement of the weapon. Some can temporarily disable powers for under 12 hours, while other can permanently shut off the subject's powers....
