Arnold Prentice Arnold "Arnie" Prentice, a former firefighter, with the A.C.F.D., who helped rescue three people from Drake Towers after King Missile smashed into it in 2001. History A year after a tragic accident at Drake Towers, in which he lost his leg, Prentice visited his old fire station, like he did most Saturdays, when the young boy he rescued was there to meet him. Farrell wanted to thank him personally for saving him. Farrell's father gave him a ride home and naturally Farrell wanted to ask him questions, mostly, "Why he went back in?" after Farrell was rescued. Farrell responded because someone had to and it's better to be the trained professionals. Even in a world with super powerful heroes, they can't be there all the time to help citizens out of jams. Considering the people he rescued, he felt the price of losing his leg was worth it, and then some. After dropping Prentice off at a cemetery, the young boy was a bit confused. His father explained that the gravesites he was visiting, were for the men who sacrificed their lives to save Arnie. Footnotes The name Prentice is a reference to Rip Kirby artist John Prentice.
