SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT
Bio:
Warblade is Reno Bryce, a green-haired artist. In his youth, Reno's parents were killed by the alien Daemonites. Reno survived and swore vengeance, dedicating his life to the martial arts to avenge them.
CyberData
He was kidnapped by the organization known as Cyberdata, brain-washed and transformed in a member of their strike team, the S.H.O.C.s. His teammate Misery used her powers to make him think that he was in love with her and quickly changed the focus of her manipulations to Ripclaw. She was revealed to be a traitor and Warblade killed her. After this, Ripclaw attacked Reno, thinking that he was the traitor and almost killed him.
WildC.A.T.s: Covert Action Teams
Reno was found bleeding in Gamorra by Jacob Marlowe. He was saved by Jacob, and joined his Daemonite hunting team, the WildC.A.T.s. Like many of the WildC.A.T.s, Reno turned out to be half human and half Kherubim, a race of aliens that had fought the Daemonites for millennia. Warblade met Ripclaw (at this time a member of Cyberforce) again and after some fighting between their teams and Ripclaw's realization that Misery was a traitor, they became friends.
During his time with the WildC.A.T.s, Reno fought Pike, a half human, half Kherubim assassin. During a Native American ritual, Pike had taken the drug peyote and had a vision of himself killing a WildC.A.T.s member, a goal he would dedicate the rest of his life to. Their first fight ended indecisive.
Reno went with the WildC.A.T.s to Khera, home of the Kherubim, where he met other shapeshifters like himself. He became an apprentice to the ancient shapeshifter Lord Proteus of the Shaper's Guild and learned many new ways to use his powers. Great was his disappointment when fellow WildC.A.T.s members Voodoo and Spartan uncovered the darker side of Kheran society. The WildC.A.T.s left Khera soon afterwards and returned home.
Back home, Reno stayed with the team and began a relationship with Jules, Emp's assistant. Soon afterward the team disbanded following the apparent death of their teammate Zealot.
Wildcats
Reno retired and focused on his art. Pike hadn't forgotten his vision though. He attempted to kill Warblade and managed to disperse Warblade's molecules with an explosion that killed also Reno's girlfriend. Reno was able to literally pull himself back together and wanted revenge. He tracked Pike to Sarajevo, where they fought again. This time Warblade won and he killed Pike and added the final insult to the dying Pike: even if Pike had killed Warblade, he would have failed his quest, because the WildC.A.T.s had been disbanded for months.
The Razor's Edge
Afterward he fell into a state of depression, that eventually led to the loss of his powers and his hands. After a little soul searching, some violent confrontations that almost led to his death, and an experimental drug given to him by the scientist responsible for suppressing his alien genes, he regained his powers.
Wildcats: Nemesis
Reno returned to New York City and retired as a superhero. He became a full-time artist again, though he still met up with his teammate Grifter from time to time. He was forced to use his powers again during one of his expositions, when the Kherubim Brotherhood of the Blade turned a large part of New York's population into bloodthirsty creatures.
Captain Atom: Armageddon
He appeared again during the Captain Atom: Armageddon briefly, before the new Void entity Nikola Hanssen rebooted the Wildstorm Universe into WorldStorm.
World's End
After the world was destroyed by the clones of the High the Halo building became the only location that still had power due to it's batteries that last forever. After the building was attacked by Majestic he asked a few of the team if they wanted to come with him to Hawaii. Warblade was asked but he refused Majestic's offer. After the team came back from a failed attempt at creating oasis's all over the planet they found that Defile and the Daemonites had come to L.A. and wanted to take it over. Of course the team fought back, but Warblade was badly injured by Defile during the fight. However he turned himself into a sword that Maul used to stab Defile and the team struck up a treaty with the Daemonites.
Later the whole team did actually go to Hawaii but this was actually a rescue mission to get back Backlash and Nemesis from Majestic.
