Biography
Alistair was a colonel in the US Air Force. He further continued the Falcon Program Sam Wilson was once a member of. In 2016, he changed the direction of the program from wings to repulsars- aiming for a more Iron Man-like style. The result was a light armored suit with stabilizers that stuck out from the front of the armor and had jets on the back- complete with a round helmet. Alistair decided to test his design himself, however; during flight, the suit malfunctioned and crushed his spine. After he crashed, he was taken to a hospital where he was a candidate to be treated by Stephen Strange, however; Strange declined and Alistair was taken care of by a different doctor. Alistair now suffered from paralysis from the waist down.

 * Alistair took over Anvil after Billy Russo became Jigsaw.
