Fictional biography
Generation 1: As ominous as a storm cloud and as chilling as a winter breeze. Grim and gloomy -- always acts as if his best friend just became permanently inoperative. Binary-bonded to the Nebulan, Hi-Test, a thrill-seeking, over-achieving perfectionist, constantly striving to keep Dreadwind's morose mind on his evil work. Equipped with two thermal melters and two air-to-air missiles. Combines with Darkwing to form Dreadwing.
Timelines: Dreadwind has always had self confidence issues. Fortunately, Darkwing was there as his confidant and close friend. When Bludgeon assigned Dreadwind to Bugbite's crew he was unhappy to say the least. Now he spends most of his time whining of how no one likes him and that he is only there to serve as the crew's whipping bot, to anyone who will listen. What he lacks in self confidence he makes up with his fighting prowess. Once focused, Dreadwind is a formidable enemy both in the skies and on the ground.
