C.A.D.E.
Confront, Assess, Destroy, Extract
C.A.D.E., while he has no official name, is usually just reffered to as Cade by anyone around him. It's easier than saying each letter.
Info: Cade is human. Mostly. He wasn't born like all humans up to this point had been. No, he was created in a vat. Grown from cells, and engineered to be the most powerful human killing machine the world had ever seen. He was smarter, faster, stronger, and tougher than any human should ever be. He was a miracle of genetic engineering.
But that didn't matter. He was a weapon. C.A.D.E.'s job was to destroy, after all. It was a part of the acroynym.
Once released from his vat, they let him learn how to use his body, first. As soon as he could, he was put through incredibly rigerous training. It was so rigerous in fact, that any normal human would have been killed from the strain. But this boy excelled. That's right, boy. If they had made a man, he would have been too dangerous, and they might lose control.
He was taught gymnastics, swordsmanship, how to handle a gun... all the basic soldiering skills he'd ever need. But they avoided teaching him certain things, like computers, and how to interact with people. If he learned too much, he may rebel, and they weren't sure if they'd be able to contain him then.
But regardless, they armed him.
They gave him weapons. His armor is the most advanced powered suit ever created, another miracle of science. Using it, he could harness electricity. The hands and feet were capable of being magnetized, and the helmet had a whole suite of technology inside of it, unlike anything ever seen before. The armor itself could stop even the most powerful kinetic weaponry by itself, and it's revolutionary energy shielding could block most forms of energy-based attacks.
But the armor wasn't all they gave him. Far from it. They gave him two weapons. The first being obvious. An energy lance. While it is a cone in shape, it doesn't matter. It can still burn through any known material, with the exception of a rare few types of incredibly durable metals.
The second is his mind. They did well, far to well. He was smart, and cunning, but also incredibly destructive. He learned. But he didn't learn alone. He had a single person in the laboratory that he could call his friend.
One of the younger scientists, a prodigy in her own right really, and the leader of research in the project, didn't see Cade as a thing. She saw him as a young man, who was missing years of his life. She was the one who taught him, over time, what good and bad was. What was acceptable to people, and what was not. She was the one who aligned his moral compass.
She was also the one who began to cultivate his humanity, which the higher-ups didn't want. They wanted an obedient soldier, who could perform well in any situation. And while he did perform, these newer morals and humanitarian mindset prevented him from performing some actions. Actions he was recognizing as atrocities and war crimes.
So that scientist was removed from the scene. Not thinking that Cade's mind had developed enough to form attachments and emotions, they just had her killed in cold blood. But, to their error, they killed her right in front of a still contained Cade.
He didn't stay contained much longer. The young and artificial, yet fragile soul was immediately overwhelmed by grief and rage, and the fighter slaughtered everyone in the facility who was involved with the death of his only friend and teacher. And that was pretty much everyone. Of all twenty scientists and fifty soldiers or so, only five scientists survived. None of the soldiers did, since they tried to kill Cade.
Since then, however, there has been few reported sightings of Cade. And even those few sightings aren't concrete, as he was well-trained, and he leaves no solid evidence. He's a project on the run, and he knows it. He may never be able to stop fighting, but nobody can really predict what Cade's next move will be.
