Now that I've had my fun. Here's the Back-story as far as the concept for the villain Iron Lung is concerned. A veteran of the war, and a retired marine, (real name) is driven to a rage filled madness when he is told he will have to live the rest of his life confined in an iron lung if he wishes to live to see 50, In his unfathomable rage he builds an iron-lung-suit/apparatus that will keep him alive indefinitely, and still allow him to move around freely. upon completion of his life saving machine, he expects to feel triumphant and happy, But instead he feels the same claustrophobic feeling. He soon realizes that, even though he is mobile, he is still condemned to this metal demon the rest of his life. He slips into depression, and becomes suicidal, but he cannot bring himself to end his own life. He has spent so much time and effort into prolonging it. He struggles in his bottomless depression, not wanting to live, unable to kill himself. Soon He slowly begins to slip into madness. In his ever growing derision, (real name)'s sadness is happily Replaced with rage. In his madness he seeks revenge against this cruel, tasteless, uncaring world.
Three weeks later, Dr. Timothy Collins, the doctor who had sentenced (real name) to his Metal Hell, is found murdered. It had been two weeks since he had been reported missing. Dr. Collins legs had been broken due to blunt force trauma, and the Dr. had then been forced into a metal box roughly just large enough for the docter to sit in provided his legs had greater. . . flexibility than normally humanly possible. Dr. Collins was unconscious during the ordeal, waking up inside what soon became his metal coffin. The Coroner Estimates that he would have died in roughly 2.5 minutes had it not been for the small holes punched into the metal box that read "welcome to hell, take two breaths and expire in the morning". That was Iron Lungs First murder.
He has commited over 40 like murders since, all involving the victims being confined to very small spaces, and given a dwindling supply of air to breath. In every case he has etched/cut/engraved/or burned a message into the contraptions used to confine his victims. Some of the most notable ones, including the quote found at the Collins murder, include: "You need a little more Iron in your diet", "welcome to the 8th level of hell" and the infamous Fr. Wade Murder quote "Contritio, Denego, excessum", or Contrition, Denial, Death.
More to come on the origins and actions of the Suspect known as Iron Lung, including sketches and drawings, when Police can gather more information on him.
