History
Tony Valdez, a skateboarding champ who loses his parents one day in an "accident". In truth, they've been attacked by other skateboarders wearing a headpiece that controls their actions, and supercharges their bodies to give them maximum speed, agility, and strength. Unfortunately, it also usually ends with the people under control having their hearts burst from the overexertion. Tony himself happens to get assaulted by the same crew of possessed skateboarders, who leave him a wreck, without much future use for his legs. With the the help of new technology, some developed by his father's company before his death, Tony has nanorobots injected into his bloodstream in order to walk again. It is only with the help of this new technology that Valdez is able to regain his mobility and also gain superhuman abilities as a side effect. Assuming a new identity, The Condor, Tony plans to right wrongs when he can, starting with those responsible for the death of his parents. But it turns out the technology that give him his powers is connected to the death of his parents. With new powers at his disposal, Valdez fights off the zombie threat and discovers more about the murderer of his parents and the villain Taipan.
