Night Thrasher is an intense young man who has vowed to make all criminals pay for what they do. He has a temper that sometimes gets away from him when he is fighting. Night Thrasher has trouble relating to the other New Warriors. They feel that he is too pushy, and they are getting tired of his berserk rages.
History:
Little is known of Dwayne Taylor’s life before he became Night Thrasher. His parents were apparently very rich when they were killed by criminals for some as yet unexplained reason. Dwayne’s guardians, Chord (an intelligent man who has a military background) and Tai (an older oriental woman with martial arts skills) support Dwayne’s vow to make all criminals pay for their actions.
Dwayne trained himself to be a skilled fighter before he began his career. On his first outing he met Midnight’s Fire and his sister, Silhouette. These two were taking out criminals by gaining their confidence and then busting them. Giving his name as Night Thrasher, Dwayne joined them on their crusade.
One night, while Silhouette was infiltrating a gun-running operation, the police accidentally came upon them. Scared that the police were fixing to shoot his sister, Midnight’s Fire started to throw a blade at them. Dwayne stopped him before he had a chance to throw it, and a gun battle erupted. Silhouette was hit and badly injured in the spine. Dwayne, who had fallen in love with Silhouette, was heartbroken, as was Midnight’s Fire. Midnight swore to get revenge on Dwayne someday.
Dwayne left them, believing that Silhouette was dead. Realizing that he needed more of an edge, Dwayne trained even harder and used his parents’ money to create his armor and weapons. He then decided to create a special team so he would have some backup. He recruited Marvel Boy, Kid Nova, and Firestar. They were also joined by Speedball and Namorita, and became the New Warriors.
Soon after they formed the team, Midnight’s Fire made an appearance and tried to frame Dwayne with the murder of two policemen. In a final battle with Midnight’s Fire, Dwayne overcame his fear of his nemesis and beat him in a battle. Dwayne then discovered that Silhouette was still alive but crippled. She renounced her brother’s actions and turned him in to the police.
Since then Night Thrasher and the New Warriors have successfully battled a number of super villains.
Dwayne has a lot of trouble interacting with the other New Warriors, and anybody else, for that matter. He is a good strategic leader, but he lacks the warmth that a trusted leader needs to command loyalty from his people.
