Mister Explosion

Mister Explosion (real name unknown) was one of the classic enemies of the Stormwatchers, who frequently fought him during their original run (1968-1972).

He resurfaces in 1993 upon hearing about the return of the Stormwatchers.

Origin
His rise is unknown. So are his real name and his date of birth. What is known is that he was from London due to his cockney accent.

As a villain
Mister Explosion was one of the Stormwatchers most famous villains. Mister Explosion wore a colorful, possibly campy costume back then. It is possible that Mister Explosion had some kind of connection to Korsakoff, as he refers to him as an "old friend" in the film. However, this might just be the villain's sense of humor.

He retired when the Stormwatchers did, in 1972. It is unknown what he did during the 21 year gap between then and the events of the film.

Sometime before August 1993, Mister Explosion was somehow involved in Project 17, the plan orchestrated by terrorist Muhammad al-Mualim and Francois LeBeau, who was also his old enemy Lionheart. It is unknown what his role in the plot was, but he somehow was involved in the murder of the Phantom Soldier A.K.A. Elias Bones.

Events of Stormwatchers
After the return of the Stormwatchers in 1993, Mister Explosion resurfaced as well (possibly under the command of Lionheart and al-Mualim), setting up his new lair in a warehouse in the south of New York City.

The Stormwatchers split into packs to invade the hideout (Eagle Eye on the roof, Strikeseeker and Lionheart through the main entrance), but none of them found him. It was Korsakoff who eventually found Explosion in the wooden shack round the back of the warehouse. He was sporting a brand new look: a lot more black, sunglasses etc. Explosion refused to give Korsakoff the information, but he was so intimidated by the terrifying vigilante, even after 21 years of not seeing him, that he gave him the name of one of the conspirators: Muhammad al-Mualim. Mister Explosion then shot himself in the head, afraid of being taken in to the authorities.

Personality
Mister Explosion was said to be a colorful villain that the Stormwatchers frequently clashed with. He, along with Master Galaxy and Raven, is considered a classic Stormwatchers enemy. In 1993, his new look is much more modern, less campy, cooler and much more acceptable in 90's fashion. He seems to have had a strange connection with Korsakoff, and calls him an old friend. Either Korsakoff was Mister Explosion's arch-nemesis in the Stormwatchers or they were allies before they became hero and villain, respectively.
