Dead Ned

What they are saying

For eighteen months the armed bandit they called 'Dead Ned' was the terror of the private security services, robbing the armed transports and the vaults of the wealthy. During that time he was shot several times but seemed impossible to kill, earning him the comparison to bushranger Ned Kelly and something of a folk hero status as he never seriously hurt anyone and seemed impossible to catch or even to get reliable descriptions or security images.

That all went very wrong during a robbery where a bystander was killed and Dead Ned was eventually brought down, fatally wounded. Exposed as small time crim Glen Brewer, the legend seemed destined to fade away until rumours began to spread that Dead Ned was back...

But really....

Dane Brewer knew his big brother Glen was up to something but had no inkling of what. As a graff writer, Dane was happy to stay out of his brother's business if the favour was returned. After the funeral he kept digging for the truth and found out some of the story of betrayal and corruption. Taking up the mantle of Dead Ned, Dane and his closest friends will find out who is responsible for Glen's death.

Mashup Abilities

Like his legendary namesake, Dane has tapped into the power of The Hooded Bandit, the hero of the people who steals from the rich (and does not necessarily give to the poor). Various bandits, highwaymen and bushrangers have accessed these powers over the years which grants invulnerability to bullets (and arrows) and strange shroud around identity. Witnesses can never quite remember a face, security footage covered in shadows or interference.

Crime capers set against a background of urban corruption and organised crime. Crooked lawyer Seth Pheles has been consolidating power in the criminal underbelly under Su-Tek Private Security and arranging the death of Dead Ned was all part of a much bigger plan.
