History:
Jack Taggert served in the U.S. military, and became involved in testing the Firepower armor, a battlesuit created by Edwin Cord for use as a weapon against out-of-control superheroes and crowds. Taggert was chosen to wear the suit, and after extensive testing his first assignment was to defeat Iron Man, who had become an outlaw during the so-called Armor Wars, a crusade by Tony Stark to neutralize all suits of battlearmor that had been designed using technology stolen from him by Spymaster. After a long battle in the Arizona desert, Firepower defeated Iron Man, destroying his suit with a small nuclear device called the Terminax.
But Stark survived and rebuilt his suit. Firepower, at the behest of Edwin Cord, went rogue and attacked Stark Industries in an effort to bring ruin on Tony Stark. Stark finally confronted Firepower in his new battlearmor and defeated him, destroying the suit. However, Taggert survived, and his whereabouts, not to mention the future of any new models of the Firepower armor, are unknown.
