Watch out for Patchie and his gang of Old School Death Metal fiends!
The Legend of Patchie...
Mortally wounded and losing his right eye during the Battle of Vestington, a young man named Peter Street was left clinging desperately to life. His attempt to defend the sacred Patches of Eternity, so that all could have access to their powers, had not gone well. Taken as a prisoner of war by the nefarious patch hoarding Plughead Legion, Peter was placed on life support so that information about the Patches of Eternity could be forcibly extracted from him once he regained consciousness. Unfortunately, his condition deteriorated, and it became obvious that the only choice was to pull the plug. Yet knowing that Peter still held vital information that could thread the needle on a future where the supremacy of the Plughead Legion was assured, Plughead Prime made a radical proposal to ensure his survival.

Taken as a prisoner of war by the nefarious patch hoarding Plughead Legion, Peter was placed on life support so that information about the Patches of Eternity could be forcibly extracted from him once he regained consciousness. Unfortunately, his condition deteriorated, and it became obvious that the only choice was to pull the plug. Yet knowing that Peter still held vital information that could thread the needle on a future where the supremacy of the Plughead Legion was assured, Plughead Prime made a radical proposal to ensure his survival. Peter’s veins were infused with
molten metal to kickstart his nervous system. Miraculously it worked! His flesh greyed and his nose burned off, rendering Peter unrecognizable, but the fabric of his mortal coil remained. No one could have anticipated how much stronger he was about to become. At the exact moment the metal was injected, the Patches of Eternity on Peter’s vest started to glow, weaving their life force into the essence of his being. With liquid metal now coursing through his bloodstream, he was transforming into something else entirely, something far more powerful. Peter was now gone… but Patchie was born!
