History: Jonathan Riker was a brilliant student in the disciplines of quantum physics and cybernetics. However, Riker became bored with science and turned his attentions to the field of law. He graduated in the top five in his class at Loyola Law University. As a result of his brilliant mind, Riker excelled in prosecuting cases. He was offered a position as Deputy DA if he could convict a known drug lord known as Trinidad. Riker jumped at the chance to prove himself. Utilizing his keen intellect, Riker successfully prosecuted Trinidad and had him sentenced to life in prison. Trinidad swore revenge on Riker, and ordered an execution style hit on Riker and those involved in his prosecution.

At a victory celebration that was being held at Riker’s Lakefront home, a bomb was planted and detonated. Everyone at the party was killed, except for Riker. Riker, stricken with pain and the guilt of losing his friends as a result of his prosecutory skills, went into hiding. He discovered that the U.S. army was testing a new Space Mining Suit developed by Dr. Marcus Lereaux. Because of the current energy crisis, Riker was able to disable the alarm system where the suit was being stored, and stole the suit. Riker took refuge in the sewer system beneath the city of New Orleans and redesigned the suit into a type of high tech battle armor, equipped with electro-blades that extended from the elbows. Riker also developed a series of mechanical bee’s that would work on gathering information and maintenance of his new lair known as the Hive. Riker then assumed the name of B-Sting and soon became the city’s newest crime-fighter. Immediately, B-Sting went after Trinidad’s operations and shut them down in a vicious assault.
