This Character, Tom, is some hero I made oh so long ago. A little history of him: I was little and played with the smaller G.I. Joes and my dad and I (well I’d ask my dad) would take them apart by unscrewing the small screw in the back of the action figures. We would then mismatch and interchange pieces to create a total different figure. I, one day, myself took apart two G.I. Joes and swapped heads and then added a cowboy hat to him. Thus I created my first action hero ever, Tom I called him. I always made him the badass and nearly untouchable, the goto man for any adventure my little mind could conjure up. As I grew up and still played with action figures to live out epic action movies through my toys, I started giving tom a back story. He was a special rank in the military and probably the most heroic and best solider in the USA. He was a legend and fear among enemies and a privilege to see to allies. One day, Tom was in an abandoned house for a mission to recover a top secret device used for chemical terrorism, but was lead into a trap by his own team. An explosion meant to kill Tom caused severe burns and chemical effect of his skin slowly becoming dissolved. Luckily, he was found and put into a chamber to stay alive. The top of the line in the Government and Top Secret projects, a company called Fringe Corp., created a nano suit used to create super soldiers, but i was yet to be tested. It was altered to fit Tom and used to release a chemical compound to slowly heal tom overtime. It was a success and Tom became a super solider who became more of a legend. I have yet to add a more convincing and cool back story for him. But that is what my young mind created.
Later, I grew into the 12inch G.I. Joes with a friend of mine. Once again I modded more figures and created a 12inch version of my hero, Tom.
Anyway, today, I felt like creating him on here, since I grew out of playing with action figures haha.
