Henry Bendix was formerly the head of Stormwatch. After switching places with an alternate version of himself, he came back and became an enemy of The Authority, a team made of people he had once led. Edit
Origin
Henry
Bendix was born and raised in Maladyville, Mississippi. He father was an
alcoholic and would often abuse son and his girlfriends and there is some
belief he may have caused the deaths of more than one. Despite his age Henry
was very much a genesis. He was still a child when he thought of the human
enhancements he would use on his super agents such as the Midnighter and even
contact other dimensions. Henry kept a diary and it revealed that a group of
spider aliens called Weavers visited Henry showing him he would become a
villain, but if he changed things he could be a hero. Henry first attempted
this when he found his father about to harm his current girlfriend Delia. He
used an energy wepon he had built himself to kill his father saving Delia.Team One
Later in life Bendix would design implants that would allow him to control the “Think Tank” a weapon vehicle which he used to gain a spot on the anti-Daemonite Team One. However after their first mission the team disbanded. After the team disbanded Henry began to work for the government as an individual and at some point he met and fell in love with Rose Tattoo, she even left the Changers for him. Bendix would also become interested in the planets past and he contacted the Four and the Bleed. Bendix would later work with the U.N to form the SPB team Stormwatch and being placed as it’s leader the Weatherman. He was implanted with devices to allow him to control the Skywatch and it’s systems. Bendix would often switch between Jackson King and Christine Trelane as leader however this changed and Bendix would soon take a harsher, more strict role in his position.
Stormwatch
After Fire From Heaven Bendix fired many of the member, split the team up into sub groups and even recruited Jack Hawksmoor, Jenny Sparks and Rose Tattoo. He would punish America and Kaizen Gamorra for their actions against him and peace and even formed a secret team of Stormwatch members. The team was Apollo, Midnighter, Lamplight, Crow Jane, Amaze, Impetus and Stalker. He abandoned them when their first mission was a failure.
At some
point it was said that he was approached by an alternate version of himself due
to the fact that Bendixs are a rare and the search for anothers. The
alternate would go on to lead Stormwatch, but after he had caused the deaths of
the Changers he was killed by Jenny Sparks and he was thought to have gone
insane.
The Authority
The
original would travel the Bleed for some time returning after the Authority had
taken over America. Bendix decided to break the team up and remove them from
their place of power. Bendix plan began when he tricked Midnighter into leaving
the team by making him believe a future version of Apollo had come warning him
that he would become a evil dictator. He also tricked a group of former
American superheroes called the Sons of Liberty. They battled the Authority and
caused so much damage the team broke up.
Years
later Bendix had caused the death of the Doctor and imprisoned the new one,
however Jenny Quantum freed the Doctor and rebuilt the team.
Bendix, with Rose and a group of aliens attacked the Carrier having brainwashed
Midnighter to battle the team. He was able to defeat the team, but Jenny and
Engineer freed him and he killed Bendix.
Authority Prime
It was recently revealed that Bendix had fathered a son William. He was raised by his call girl mother who was paid by Bendix to take care of William alone. Jackson King needed William since many of Benidx’s systems and implant were designed to work for him and since William is his son and his spitting image he was recruited under the name Weatherman. William had been working hard to uncover some of his father’s more secret file and in doing so found the location of a secret bunker used by Bendix to produce many of his super heroes.
However as Stormwatch heads to Nevada to find the bunker the Authority arrives also claiming it and a fight begins. However Bendix programmed the bunker with an A.I version of himself that released an army of zombie cloned members of his secret Stormwatch team. He was even able to get rose Tattoo to rejoin him and produced a new body made with the powers of everyone in close proximity. William arrives and after being mortally wounded by the clones gets Rose to destroy it and the bunker was destroyed in the battle. Neither team found William, but later it was revealed that Henry had imprinted himself on his son’s younger and stronger body surviving the destruction.
