Who is Riot?

Riot is an original member of Heavy Mettle and they were hired as muscle for Joe Silvermane's operations. Silvermane was selling high-tech weaponry from AIM to gang members and the New Warriors wanted to shut them down. A man named Dalton Beck was dating Turbo of the New Warriors and Musashi had no idea that Dalton was Firestrike , the leader of Heavy Mettle. Aegis got the name of the arms dealer that was supplying the gangs with the weapons but Heavy Mettle was waiting to ambush them when they arrived to the warehouse in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. Riot shot the warehouse floor with a concentrated soundwave blast that sent Speedball and Bolt into the water. Riot and the rest of Heavy Mettle was able to escape during their first encounter with the New Warriors. Turbo would discover that Dalton was really Firestrike and he decided to turn over a new leaf and tell the New Warriors who was the man behind the entire operation. Nova would disguise himself as Firestrike and meet the rest of Heavy Mettle at a warehouse in Brooklyn.
