PRT THREAT ASSESSMENT

Code Name: Sky Captain
Civilian Identity: Alfonso Payton (Case 53)
Affiliation: Independent Rogue

Power Classification:
- Tinker 8

Abilities:
- Specializes in armored warfare and fortification technology
- Creates super materials with unusual properties
- Constructs massive, mobile structures (e.g. "Iron Storm")

Assessment:
Sky Captain specializes in creating large-scale mobile fortresses with advanced weaponry.
His technology could potentially alter the balance of power in any area he operates.
While currently operating as a rogue, his capabilities make him a person of interest for both heroic and villainous recruitment.

Strengths:
- Ability to create and operate massive, flying structures
- Advanced armor and fortification technology
- "Super materials" with physics-defying properties
- Mobile base of operations ("Iron Storm")

Weaknesses:
- Standard tinker reliance on technology and creations
- Limited personal combat abilities outside of creations

Engagement Protocols:
1. Do not engage abord the Iron Storm if possible.
2. If engagement is necessary, target Sky Captain himself rather than his constructs.
3. Prepare for potentially massive collateral damage if conflict occurs.
4. Utilize Thinker support to analyze and find weaknesses in his technology.
5. Consider involving Dragon and other PRT tinkers for potential counter-measures against his tinker creations.

History:
- Appeared in New Jersey in the early 1990s as a Case 53
- Spent five years constructing the "Iron Storm"
- Recently arrived in Brockton Bay, motive unknown

Notes:
- Operates a tinker-for-hire business from his flying fortress
- Has at least two known associates: "Robo-girl" and "Roid Rage" (see respective files)
- Anthropomorphic canine appearance due to Case 53 status

Recommended Approach:
Given Sky Captain's neutral status and business-oriented approach, direct confrontation should be avoided.
Instead, focus on establishing a working relationship and monitoring his activities.
Priority should be placed on gathering more information about his creations, particularly the "Iron Storm,"
and assessing any potential impact on local and regional stability.

Director's Note:
I don't care what favors we have to pull. Get that thing out of Brockton Bay airspace.
