"Brigade's here, so don't worry. Back away, and let me bring the hell down!"

- Brigade Rick Landau, AKA Brigade, is a cybernetically enhanced super-soldier who works as a mercenary. Initially a powerful member of several paramilitary organizations, Landau later nearly ended his career while working with COBRA, which is actually the cover-up name of the deadly organization HYDRA. An accident during a mission in the Middle-East when he's in the COBRA costed him both of his arms and nearly his whole life. However, unconsciously, HYDRA awakened Landau into the fearsome cyborg known as Brigade. However, he does not know that HYDRA is in fact COBRA, until HYDRA gets revealed. Later, Landau operates independently as a mercenary who works for those who are in need of help in military things, with a price.

Trivia

 * One of the aliases Brigade uses, "Jax Briggs", is a reference to a Mortal Kombat character with the same name. Although he took that name before his "humanization", after he got "humanized", he looks like Jax Briggs from MK himself.
