#8 of Defense Council Profiles

Ironsight was one of the earlier characters I created for this setting and he was originally a major antagonist for Stampede. As I added more characters, though, this world of heroes and villains had to go through some restructuring, much like United City itself. I hope you guys like handsome Javier even though he's a remorseless killer for hire~ :love:

The following felon is currently incarcerated in the United City high security correctional facility. Initial capture was orchestrated by Jason Barrows, AKA "Mighty Steel". This felon is considered to be extremely dangerous and should not be approached by any unauthorized personnel without level six clearance.

Known History: At the time of his initial capture, Javier Sandoval was operating as a mercenary under the pseudonym "Ironsight". He was hired by and was the top enforcer for the Moretti Syndicate for two years. When the Moretti Syndicate attempted to take control of the Riverside police force, Sandoval murdered Thomas Barrows, one of the only police officers to stand up to the syndicate's influence. This murder was ultimately the cause of Sandoval's downfall because Jason Barrows (AKA "Mighty Steel") sought revenge for his father's death and subdued Sandoval despite grievous bodily injuries sustained during their confrontation.

Javier Sandoval was born in Puerto Libre, Mexico. His childhood history is unknown, but he appears to have been motivated by a desire to grow stronger throughout his life. At age sixteen, he joined the People's Militia, a fascist paramilitary organization. It was there that he gained all of his combat expertise and weapon skills by repeatedly undergoing intensive training in each field until he had attained mastery in each and completely outclassed the other soldiers. It was this determination that singled him out for experimental gene therapy at age twenty by a Russian expatriate scientist named Doctor Irina Kharzin. It is unclear whether or not those in charge of the People's Militia were aware of the extent of the experiments Kharzin was performing while in their employ, however Sandoval revealed his superior intellect to Doctor Kharzin and assisted her in what she thought would be the creation of an army of super soldiers. Sandoval ultimately betrayed her and took the results of her experiments for himself.

Some reports state that Sandoval murdered Kharzin, however that information has never been corroborated by evidence. Regardless, Sandoval stole the perfected gene-altering serum and destroyed Kharzin's research laboratories before going AWOL from the People's Militia. Sandoval's name appeared sporadically in relation to various black markets and mercenary groups around the world for two years before dropping off of the map completely. However, at the same time Sandoval's name left the scene, the code name "Ironsight" surfaced for the first time. Further reports confirmed "Ironsight's" true identity and stories soon began to spread about a cold-hearted, unstoppable mercenary who never fails to kill a target. Sandoval built a solid reputation in just three years of mercenary work and that reputation led the Moretti Syndicate to seek out his services.

After his incarceration, Sandoval was very forthcoming with interrogators and freely offered up information about his origins and his abilities, for the most part, however, when topics shifted to his childhood, Sandoval immediately grew silent. When pressed further by interrogators, Sandoval politely and firmly requested that the interview end. When it did not end and an interrogator asked once more about Sandoval's youth, the felon leaped to his feet in rage and assaulted the interrogator, breaking four of the interrogator's bones despite the fact that both of Sandoval's hands were cuffed behind him.

Ability Details: While Sandoval does not possess any psychic or mind-altering powers, he is extremely intelligent and has an uncanny affinity for psychological manipulation. Despite this, he has never once attempted to escape in the thirty-six years that he has remained in custody. Even while in prison, Sandoval continues to exercise regularly and he has outstanding physical fitness for his age, though it is unclear how much of that fitness is a result of Kharzin's serum.

Sandoval enjoys showing off, and because of that, the research team was able to identify his natural talents and the primary abilities he has gained through Kharzin's experimentation. Sandoval's senses are greatly heightened. He can hear a literal pin drop within five hundred feet and he can see and read text printed in twelve point font on a piece of paper placed three-hundred and sixty feet from him. Further, he can identify the presence of substances in food or liquid with as miniscule as point zero one parts per million by scent including chemical preservatives, artificial flavors, sleeping agents, and deadly toxins. Due to his superior analytical skills, Sandoval is able to determine how objects and even some defender abilities operate by merely watching them. He is able to feel and identify moving objects by vibrations in the ground or floor within two hundred yards, but only if he is touching the ground or floor with bare flesh such as the palms of his hands or bare feet. He can also sense vibrations in the air within fifty yards. Further, his enhanced endurance allows him to maintain a sprint for nearly four minutes and hold his breath for nearly five minutes.

Sandoval has extremely fast reaction time. He only needs 0.002 seconds to react and can therefore dodge bullets fired from only ten feet away. Dodging something like a punch thrown by a normal individual is trivial to him. However, this reaction time depends on Sandoval's focus. If distracted, it is more difficult for him to avoid strikes and projectiles. He is proficient with nearly every type of man made weapon and can improvise weapons from everyday objects if needed. He is also a skilled hand-to-hand combatant and his increased reflexes make him just as deadly at close range as he is at long range. Lastly, Sandoval's body is impervious to normal flames, temperatures as low as -110 degrees fahrenheit, strikes of up to six thousand tons of force, bullets, and bladed weapons.

Psychologists on staff note that Sandoval shows no regret for the lives he has taken and he has described in great detail how pleasurable the hunt and execution of a target is for him. He suffers from a superiority complex and therefore has no qualms about using people for his own ends, much like he used Kharzin for her serum. He may be one of the few examples in the world of someone who is truly and completely without remorse. He is also a perfectionist at heart and is prone to fits of violent rage should any perceived failure anger or frustrate him. Sandoval is also something of a tactical genius and, despite his imprisonment, he has been almost pleased to offer tactical advice to the Defense Council when politely asked. He even enjoys friendly games of chess with Defense Council staff on occasion, though it is likely that he would become enraged should anyone ever manage to beat him at the game.

For the reasons above, the Defense Council analysis staff recommends that Javier Sandoval; AKA "Ironsight," be designated threat level Red and be placed in solitary confinement, under constant surveillance. Verbal contact with this criminal should be handled by authorized Defense Council personnel only with level six clearance or above.
