Nash Gorey - Powerhouse

This is VENOM agent Nash Gorey. Nicknamed the Goon, Nash uses his considerable genius, skills and talents as VENOM'S electronics and computer expert to maintain the group's vehicles, masks and other technology in proper working order as well as build and develop new weapons based on the stolen MASK technology plans developed by the late Andy Trakker.

 Nash VENOM’s surveillance expert and has considerable skills in computer hacking, gathering intel and compiling data which VENOM uses for gaining ultimate power and riches.

 Nash earned his nickname the Goon by being a bossy, unrepentant lackey who practically worships Miles Mayhem as a god. No matter what Mayhem says Nash considers it brilliant, agrees with it totally and follows any order given to him by Mayhem to the letter and without question. Nash will go out of his way to bully, lecture or berate other team members about following Mayhem’s orders and insists they should all be grateful to have Mayhem as their brilliant leader.

 Nash's constant bootlicking, pushy, arrogant demeanor and his insistence of trying to boss his teammates around causes the rest of VENOM , especially Bruno Sheppard, to have an intense hatred of Nash who seems to revel in pushing their buttons knowing Mayhem won’t let them kill him because his talents are too valuable to the team.

 Nash Gorey has the distinction among VENOM’s main agents to be the only one to ever successfully pose as a MASK agent and infiltrate the team as a mole on his first mission. Though the ruse was short lived and Nash didn’t learn any of the MASK agent’s secret identities his part of the mission was successful despite it’s ultimate defeat at the hands of MASK in the end.  

 Nash Gorey wears Powerhouse mask (formerly called Samson mask) which can envelope the wearer in an invisible sheath of energy that acts like a strength enhancing exoskeleton as well as an ultra thin force field which protects the wearer from physical injury as well as boost their strength to superhuman levels.

 At full charge Powerhouse can allow Nash Gory to lift 10 tons under optimal conditions. He has been shown throwing massive boulders, ripping armored doors off their hinges, shattering solid rock with his fists and hefting heavy machinery and vehicles with relative ease.   

 Nash Gorey pilots Outlaw a black 1985 Snake Oil Petroleum Freightliner cab-over oil tanker that converts into VENOM’s mobile command center. The strongest and most heavily armored vehicle in VENOM’s armory, Outlaw is the nerve center of any operation the team is on.

 Outlaw’s 5000 gallon tank shell itself folds open from the truck bed and becomes a vertical observation tower with twin high powered radar dishes that can track multiple targets as well as send  jamming signals to throw off enemy radar and targeting systems. Outlaw also contains sophisticated computer, scanning and observation equipment that can monitor, record and decode enemy communications.

 The tank shell conceals a multi-purpose self-propelled “Rattler Fire” howitzer that can fire a number of projectiles that range from lethal to non-lethal depending on what is needed.

 Outlaw’s pump and generator control panel slides open from the driver’s side of the truck frame to become a cockpit with a tilt up computer bank used to control Outlaw’s various weapons and surveillance systems when parked. Outlaw carries a portable high powered generator used to power its systems when on extended deployment or to boost its radar and surveillance systems range.

 Outlaw’s interior cab is a heavily armored turret that rises up when the armored steel cab shell flips forward and its roof flips open and becomes a ramp/scoop. The turret contains a high powered canon that fires a four prong steel grappling hook and cable used to snare vehicles which allows Outlaw’s powerful winch pull the vehicle into Outlaw’s scoop. The winch is powerful enough to pull a fully loaded armored car into its scoop.

 Despite its bulk Outlaw can travel at a top speed of 100 mph on an even grade but it’s speed is reduced to around 70 mph when it’s observation tower is raised.  All ten of Outlaw’s tires are bullet and puncture proof.
