Cody Travers (Earth-430)

Cody Travers, commonly just referred as Cody was originally a honored fighter of Metro City who since his childhood fought the heavely dangerous and criminalized city. He was later accused of a crime he did not commit by Poison. After escaping from prison, Cody tries to prove his innocence, while he was pursued by Stryker and Kabal, before they too joined him in order to preserve Cody's freedom.

Early Life
Cody was addicted to fighting. Since he was a child, and being a orphan, Cody had run more from the police then he could even count, but at the same time knew his life was dangerous. When he grew up, Cody meet a man named Guy, whom he became a close friend with. He began dating with the mayor of Metro City's daughter Jessica. When she was kidnapped by the Mad Gear Gang, Cody, Guy and her father, the mayor Haggar set out to rescue her. He eventually defeated the leader of Mad Gear, Belger and Cody then left Jessica. Soon after, the Mad Gear member Poison managed to framed him for a crime, and he was thrown in jail.

After spending years in jail, Cody became very apathetic, his attitude changing completely from when he was a hero. He also harbored resentment of the outside world, musing that he fought solely for the sake of the city and still ended up in jail despite his intentions.

Escaping
Months after his imprisonment, there was a prison riot and Cody did managed to escape. While out, Cody looked up at a familiar face that he hasn't seen for a while; Guy.

Guy wanted to get Cody back on track in his life, but Cody claimed that he was no hero and only lived for fighting these days. The two of them had a battle soon after their conversation, and once they cooled down, Guy accepted the fact that his friend had to live his own life. Guy asked if Cody would stay in Metro City but Cody said he still had traveling to do, and the two parted ways. Guy bid him farewell, realizing that deep down inside, Cody was still a good person.

Cody would later meet Rolento, a old foe, who wanted him to join his militant movement, but Cody refused. Guy would then be found by the top MCPD officers, the duo Stryker and Kabal, who wanted him back in prison. Cody fought against them but ultimately lost to their combined might. He found himself on prison again.

Armageddon and Death
Guy would later reveal the truth to Kabal and Stryker, that it was Poison who unjustly framed Cody, and made he lost track os his life. Guilty, the two allowed Travers to escape, and now, the four would hunt down all the members of the Mad Gear Gang, alongside a returning Haggar, who did always believe Cody was innocent, but could do nothing to prevent him being busted. Cody, alongside his allies, joined the Forces of Light in the final Battle of Armageddon, with the objective of saving the realms and destroying the Mad Gear, but he was killed alongside most of the combatants.
