Background
He was the Original "Iron Chef French" in a popular cable show in Paragon City, but his career was terminated quickly when it was discovered that he was blackmailing the judges to 'fix' the competition. He tried to escape, taking several audience members hostage, but he was eventually caught and locked up for good.... so they thought! Now armed with his personal cutlery and cooking utensils, The Cast Iron Chef is cooking up trouble, ready to turn anyone in his way into chop suey!
Personality
Antoine enjoys fine dining. He can't help but be appalled at the thought of cooking with "George Foreman Grills" or having "canned soup" for dinner. But "Ze customer iz al-vays right" and he is willing to serve whatever they wish. He always gives it his all when preparing a meal and provides the best service he can give. The resourcefulness of this chef is uncanny! He can make an exceptional meal out of just about anything! All you've got are some leftover succotash, a bag of beef jerky, and some cheese curls? Not a problem! Antoine can whip up something amazing with virtually anything you throw at him. He's like the MacGuyver of Culinary Arts!
Combat
Antoine has a number of items up his sleeve when things get ugly around the Rogue Isles. First and foremost are his wide array of cutlery that come in various shapes and sizes. Antoine keeps all his knives razor sharp. He has a pouch of extremely powerful wasabi that he can toss at enemies to stun them. He also has a massively large pepper spray that he uses to blind his opponents.
Mutant Powers
Antoine was born with a mild mutation that gave him particularly strong sense of taste and smell. It's no wonder he grew up to become an excellent cook! The mutation also made him fairly resistant to cuts, burns, and other hazards in the kitchen. Such resistances help him in combat as well. Finally, the mutation granted him an acute focus that helps him concentrate while engaging in his profession. This 'will' of the mind also helps protect him from mental attacks and 'mezz effects.'
Invented Recipes
Antoine's collection of recipes is continually growing. He is constantly experimenting with new dishes every day. These are just a few of his latest concoctions:
Sushi a la Lusca
This was one of Antoine's specialties while he was still living in Paragon City. Part of its appeal is the fact that it is available only in very rare occasions. Antoine recommends serving this with a twist of lemon, accompanied by a glass of white wine.
"Serpents Sur Une Plaque" (Snakes on a Plate)
During his first few days in the Rogue Isles, Antoine has had to cut through many, many snakes! So it was natural for Antoine to perfect a very exotic, yet tender and tasty treat!
