History
Joseph Heinkel, great grandson of the evil World War II 'Axis Force' Nazi codenamed "Hienkel', as well as the son of current GUARD Munitions Master, Heinrich Heinkel (code-named 'War Machine'), started his young life with the wrong crowd - The Arachnoknights.
The evil Arachnoknights recruited young talent fresh from colleges, Joseph being one such talent. His incredible knowledge of energy manipulation and weapons design (learned from his father) got him in as a chief engineer in the Arachnoknights.
A year later, he saw the weapons he was building were killing innocents, and not fighting a 'war against corruption' as he'd been told. He snuck out one night after sabotaging all of his weapons and designs.
Joseph was later picked up by GUARD and imprisoned for his deeds and associations. He hadn't killed or murdered anyone, but his illegal weapons manufacturing was enough to warrant at least 20 years of federal prison time. His father, Heinrich Heinkel. pleaded with GUARD's Director, Neal Norton, to prevent his son from becoming like his great grandfather. Director Norton put in an impassioned plea with the Department of Justice and arranged for a deal for Joseph - service with a new organization known as 'The Peacekeepers'; a national police force primarily to enforce the World Super-Powers Registration Act (WRSA). As such, the Peacekeepers couldn't place him in a 'direct' law enforcement position, however, they arranged it so that his primary duties would be to his strengths - weapons designing, which he would now do, in legal practices, under the supervision of the Peacekeepers leadership.
Today Joseph, now code-named "Centerfire", is a weapons-master in the heroic Peacekeepers. He has yet to meet his recently revived great grandfather, the psychotic Nazi killing machine known as Ernst Heinkel, who is now alive and well with Reichsland's newly reorganized super-powered group, Axis Force.
