Who is Vic Chalker?

Origin Professor Vic Chalker was intelligent enough to design and build a suit of armor, but things didn't work out so well. Disgusted at the actions of his cousin, Dick Chalker (Carnivore) Vic Chalker decided to rid the world of the scourge of mutant-kind. To this end, he designed “the most devastatingly destructive exoskeleton in the world.” Creation Vic Chalker first appeared in X-Factor issue 72 (1991) Major Story Arcs The Suit Unfortunately, he got his measurements wrong, and ended up with a suit of armor that he barely fit in, couldn't see out of, and couldn't even reach the hand controls. Undeterred, he dealt with this minor setback, and powered up his armor for the first time. It turned out to be so powerful that it drained it's power source within a few moments. Undaunted, the professor added enough batteries and generators to “power South Dakota.” Emerging triumphantly from his lab, he noticed it beginning to rain. As he wondered if he had weatherproofed the suit enough, the first few drops hit the suit and electrocuted him, leaving him a skeleton in a suit of armor. This did not go unnoticed, as Cannonball flew by moments later, wondering about the odd statue someone had.
