Crimson Cannon

From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe

A Praetorian Villain who traveled to Primal earth looking to pave the way for Emperor Cole got a large dose of reality when he was defeated by Phanto, Deadwringer and Rhinode. Cannon was an unbeatable and famous member of the Powers Division, unbeatable that is, until his arrival on Earth Prime. Instead of preparing the earth for Tyrant, he pledged himself to Phanto and his cause to bring "the end". Cole promised Crimson nothing in return for his loyalty, but Phanto promised him whatever he wanted. A city, a country, money... Crimson-Cannon is motivated solely by greed. Much like his Primal counterpart, Powerlaser.

After Phanto's defeat at the hands of The Infiltrators, Cannon recently decided to seek out and work with Powerlaser, acting as his secret "vanity" weapon.

His powers come from an ion reactor which takes the place of his heart. Crimson is made up of 85% ionic energy, and through careful manipulation and machinery, uses that energy as a deadly offensive weapon.
