Group Affiliation: Metatech

Base of Operations: Long Island, NY

First Appearance: Gunfire #4 (August, 1994)

Powers: Marauder utilized a battlesuit that gave him superhuman strength and durability, and could be operated remotely. The suit flew using rocket boosters and used compression tech to shrink the suit for faster travel when operated remotely. The suit's gauntlets fired bullets and explosive shells.

History: (Gunfire #4) - Metatech, using technology from Van Horn Industries, designed the Maraud3 suit, piloted by Kagan with Halpern as his point man. The Perggia mob wanted Lt. Rivera dead for going after their criminal enterprise, and Marauder was hired for the hit. He located Rivera in the apartment of Andrew (Gunfire) Van Horn, who saved Rivera and damaged the suit using his power to turn inorganic matter into energy projectiles. Gunfire was furious that his father had dealings with Metatech, and located their facility on LI. Marauder was happy he'd showed up, saying he was planning on killing him anyway because of his interference on the hit. Rivera followed Gunfire, and after shooting Halpern in self-defense he shot the command center that operated the Marauder suit, activating its compression tech and crushing Kagan to death inside his suit.
