Russell Storm carries more kinetic energy than most vehicles he drives. Military automation removed him from the Corps; the Calamity gave the storm somewhere useful to break. He earned Whirlwind in one night and has been moving ever since.
Civilian transport work could not absorb a Marine trained for constant pressure. Supervisors described him as a storm with paperwork attached.
His duel with Firestorm in a burning house proved the difference between speed and control. Whirlwind won the exchange; Firestorm escaped bleeding and angry.
Disorient first, slide through the firing lane, and enter melee from an angle that keeps the opponent turning. If the mission is extraction, the vehicle always matters more than the duel.
