Name: Paul Norbert Ebersol Occupation: Criminal inventor Identity: Secret
Other Aliases: Fixer Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with
a criminal record Place of Birth: Dayton, Ohio Group Affiliation: Thunderbolts Base of Operations: Mt. Charteris First Appearance: STRANGE TALES #141
History: Norbert Ebersol was a child prodigy
with such great mechanical aptitude that he took apart
and repaired an alarm clock at age 3. By 10, he had built
a small electric automobile; by 13, a relatively complex
robotic arm -- both from readily available spare parts.
Dropping out of high school due to lack of interest, Ebersol
was fired from a number of jobs because of his air of
superiority and unorthodox approach to simple tasks. Seeking
a challenge, he turned to the planning and execution of
technologically assisted crimes. He found that such activities
not only stimulated his intellect, but provided him with
new raw materials to create even more advanced technological
devices.
When most of Earth's heroes, including the Avengers and
Fantastic Four, seemingly died battling Onslaught, Ebersol
joined forces with Baron Zemo. To gain the trust of the
populace, the villains led the world to believe they were
new heroes known as the Thunderbolts. During a battle
with the Elements of Doom, Techno was cut down. However,
his consciousness downloaded into his Tech-Pac and survived,
and he re-emerged in a robotic body of his own design.
Zemo's
deception ultimately failed. But while his teammates chose
to become legitimate heroes, Techno remained a villain.
When the Thunderbolts created a base at Mt. Charteris,
he stole in and subdued its caretaker, Ogre. He then assumed
Ogre's identity and presented himself as such to the Thunderbolts.
Height: Variable Weight: Variable Eyes: Red Hair: None
Known Superhuman Powers: Techno can mentally control
his robotic body, capable of assuming virtually any form
-- from blast cannons to piledrivers, even a space station.
To take on larger shapes, Techno absorbs mass from other
mechanical materials nearby. His body also can morph into
forms that appear completely organic, as with his assumed
guise of Thunderbolt machinesmith Ogre.
