HistoryAt some point when the Black Rapier was young, he ingested a "vitali-serum" that dramatically altered his physiology. Alongside the rest of Honor Guard, he laid siege to the Skullcrushers' secret base in Ecuador. He coordinated between the team and the E.A.G.L.E. troops who were also on the scene. ("Mistakes") His engineering skills were put to use when he rebuilt Beautie after she was shattered by the Silver Brain's Sledgehamsters at some point. In 2015, after the Rapier retired from activity, Crackerjack stole the Rapier's remaining serum vials. Crackerjack did so as part of an effort to improve his own abilities, despite everyone he had talked to agreeing that such a feat would be impossible--the consensus being that it was a miracle the serum had worked for the Rapier, and it had only done so in part because of his youth at the time. PowersIt is implied that the Rapier's serum provided him with enhanced physical abilities, including increased reflexes and endurance, if not also slowed aging (at his retirement party, the Rapier states that he'd been active for 45 years). Equipment
