Biography
Larry Arnold grew up as one of many youths in the Los Angeles area involved in gang culture. As a young man he was acquainted with Raul "G-Wiz" Quentino, though they were members of different gangs.
As an adult, he had left the gang scene, but lived in the same impoverished neighborhoods. When Justin Hammer inflamed a gang war, Silver Sable's Wild Pack were dispatched to protect the civilian population, including Arnold's old friend Quentino. Arnold at first accused Quentino of selling out his roots to the establishment, but he was eventually convinced that intervening would help to save lives on every side. Arnold fought alongside the Wild Pack, facing down gang members and Hammer's mercenaries.
After Quentino was forced to retire from the Wild Pack due to his ongoing AIDS affliction, he personally recommended Arnold as a replacement member. Arnold agreed and joined the Wild Pack's primary strike team.
Powers and Abilities
Arnold was not a trained military agent. However, his life of gang violence gave him strong enough physical conditioning and combat instincts to work alongside professional mercenaries with no issue.
