SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT
Bio:
Foster McClane was born in South-Central Australia, a hard country that bred hard men. He grew up strong, arrogant, racist and sexist in a society that not only accepted such attitudes, but prized them. Being recruited into StormWatch meant having to work with men and women from all over the world on a more or less equal level, which required adjustments that were difficult for him to make. As Flashpoint, he was in the running to lead the original StormWatch Prime, but his hot-headedness got in the way of his ambition and the position fell to Battalion (Jackson King).

Flashpoint, along with his teammates Nautika and Sunburst, was believed dead by SkyWatch after a disasterous mission to Kuwait. He was in fact held captive by Deathtrap in his penthouse fortress on Gamorra Island. During that time, he threw in his lot with Deathtrap and the MERCs, becoming a double agent. Also during their imprisonment, the Daemonite Lord Defile brainwashed the prisoners to spy on StormWatch.

During the Fire From Heaven event, Flashpoint came clean about his betrayal and attempted to kill Jackson King. He failed and King killed him.

Flashpoint was one of the many SPBs held captive for years in one of four cryogenic prisons owned by the criminal matsermind TAO. The details behind Flashpoint's apparent resurrection are unknown. Just prior to the Armageddon, all of prisons were located and the prisoners freed. Flashpoint's current whereabouts and activities are unknown.
