Paramilitary Team Member Thomas Welling is a D.C. Comics fan, or he was before joining up for the hybridization process through Corona Corporation. 

Welling grew up watching the actor Tom Welling in the small screen version of Superman titled Smallville, and he felt an affinity for the superhero. In his mind, that's what he would become when he transformed from his ordinary self into his hybrid super solder persona. 

Welling even purchased a pair of black horn-rimmed glasses to complete the illusion.

Welling now bashes the face of anyone who suggests he has a connection to the show, to Superman, and especially to Tom Welling. His disappointment in his hybridized self has evolved into rage that he barely keeps contained.

Garik Shayk manages to contain Welling's rage when the hybrid goon decides to interrogate Garik's friend, John Carter, through undisguised torture. Welling ends us with his face mask crushed and his helmet shattered on the corner of an office filing cabinet.

We meet Thomas Welling for the first and only time in Book 7 of The Human-Hybrid Project, The Rage.

Paramilitary Team Member Kurt Rodgers is of German extraction.

Rodgers grew up with stories of his German forebears, although he was born and raised in Argentina. 

He was never told who in his family held high-ranking military office in the Nazi regime, but the atrocities of WWII were always brushed over lightly in his family's historical annals.

It was necessary, wasn't it? And besides, it was war. Move on.

Rodgers has always wanted to reclaim that level of pride, and the paramilitary upgrade is his path to that end.

In the Tower's basement conflict where Luis Rodrigo attempts to dominate Garik Shayk for revenge, Rodgers is brought down when John Carter freezes him with his DNA-enhanced ability to "ice" others with his wood frog blood.

We meet Kurt Rodgers for the first and only time in Book 7 of The Human-Hybrid Project, The Rage.

Paramilitary Team Member Callum Hockney goes by the diminutive Cal to his friends.

Hockney's supervisors normally reference him as Hockney, the name inscribed on his eagle-encrusted uniform.

Hockney may have chosen to volunteer for the upgrade given to the paramilitary team, and he doesn't regret the improvements to his body, but he is resentful that the helmet with the built-in mask he is forced to wear restricts his ability to demonstrate his superiority outside of being fully suited up.

Hockney is fully prepared to "get even" at every opportunity.

We meet Cal Hockney for the first and only time in Book 7 of The Human-Hybrid Project, The Rage.

Paramilitary Team Member Charlie Howard boasts a broad nose and a flat face.

HIs midnight skin gives him a forbidding appearance. Helmet on, helmet off, who can tell the difference?

Before joining up with Brace's paramilitary team, Howard was a boxer, nightclub bouncer, and general street ruffian. His life under Brace is a breeze in comparison.

Howard looks up to Rodrigo as his immediate superior. Whatever Rodrigo says, Howard is there. Of course, Rodrigo is giving orders Howard must follow, but even without that, to Howard, every word Rodrigo speaks is as good as an order in his mind.

To Howard, Rodrigo can do no wrong.

We meet Charlie Howard for the first and only time in Book 7 of The Human-Hybrid Project, The Rage.
