Jimi Stringer is a Hero from Hero Factory, and a member of the Alpha 1 Team.

Biography

Creation

Stringer was created at Hero Factory. He became a rookie Hero. Stringer also became a member of Alpha 1 with Preston Stormer, Von Ness, and Dunkan Bulk under the command of Thresher.

Stringer and Bulk arrested Toxic Reapa as he attempted to rob a museum with Jawblade, although the latter escaped. Stringer and Bulk talked about the Hero Factory getting its own prison someday.^[SM2]

Legion of Darkness

Stringer was sent with Stormer to go watch over a mining move after Stringer had seen the mission by Thresher on his Datapad. However, there was no move, but instead an ambush of reprogrammed mining robots prepared to attack the Heroes; however XT4 appeared and saved them, saying he was the new Hero for Alpha 1. As he was brought back to Hero Factory, XT4 quickly turned evil and escaped on a Drop Ship. Stormer and Stringer's Drop Ship stayed airborne while Von Ness and Bulk went down on Asteroid J-54, where XT4 was engineering a prison break. They became trapped between Black Phantom's scout ship and a mining freighter with its engines rigged to detonate by his two henchmen. Black Phantom contacted Stormer and informed him of the Legion of Darkness before Stringer sent the ship toward Black Phantom. The criminal's ship sped off and the explosion from the freighter knocked Stormer and Stringer out. Thresher saved them and brought them back to Hero Factory where it was announced Akiyama Makuro was closing the Hero Factory. Stringer, Bulk, and Von Ness left, but were recalled by Stormer. They arrived in time to stop Black Phantom and his legion from destroying Hero Factory, rescuing Thresher and Stormer. Despite Stringer, Bulk, and Von Ness being scheduled to use another freighter to go to the plants, the victory over the Legion caused Akiyama Makuro to decide to keep the Hero project and not scrap it, making the three Heroes choose to stay in the Hero Factory again instead.^[SM2]

Life as a veteran Hero

Thresher eventually retired and Von Ness deserted the Hero Factory,^{[Episode 4]} leaving Alpha 1 led by Stormer with Stringer and Bulk as the team's only consistent members.

Seven years ago, at one time, Stringer was dispatched to an old cargo freighter whose crew had gone in sleep mode. There, he was looking for Core Hunter, who was on the ship, but they were both attacked by an extremely powerful winged creature. Stringer learned that the creature is deaf, so it was immune to his Sonic Boom Weapon's sonic blasts. Stringer and Core Hunter were forced to band together to try and defeat it. Stringer adjusted his armor to use subsonics in order to adapt to fighting the creature. He and Core Hunter explored the crate that the creature came out of to learn about the creature. The creature found them again, so the two temporary allies went hiding, but they did not trust each other. Stringer shot at Core Hunter to use him as a missile against the creature, though Core Hunter recovered and the creature got angry and fought the two temporary allies again. When Core Hunter attacked it, the creature cried and Stringer realized it only wanted to escape, so Stringer stopped Core Hunter from continuing to attack the creature and explained his discovery. Stringer navigated the creature through the airlock system while Core Hunter controlled it; however, the villain left Stringer to die in space. The creature saved Stringer and threw him in Core Hunter's ship, and Core Hunter left in Stringer's. However, due to the Hero Factory tracking chip in Stringer's vehicle, the Hero Factory used the ship to take Core Hunter straight to Makuhero City, where he was jailed.^[SM1]

At one time, the Alpha 1 Team had a mission to investigate the disappearance of Almaak IV after being told of it by officials of Almaak V. Stringer noticed that the moon of Almaak IV had a normal orbit around nothing, and used this information to reveal that the planet was being cloaked by members of Almaak V's government. Almaak IV was uncloaked, and those behind the scheme were arrested by the Hero Factory.

A year before Mission: Von Nebula, Stringer, Stormer, and Bulk were assigned to fight off a villain named Cornelius Zo and his army of giant Tiger Ants that were destroying a city. Bulk drove the ants off by using a tank called the Crusher. There was also one time where they successfully captured a notorious space pirate.(Hero Factory FM)

The Alpha 1 Team recruited a division of three rookies, William Furno, Natalie Breez, and Mark Surge, and named it Rookie 1.

At one time, Stringer and the other members of the Alpha 1 Team chased fuel smugglers in the Faraday Belt. The team survived and completed the mission.(Hero Factory FM)

Stringer was interviewed by Mak Megahertz in his radio talk show called Hero Factory FM, in his segment called Mak in the Morning.

At one time, Bulk and Stringer arrived at the sixth planet of the Taygeta system to arrest XPlode and Rotor. However, the villains used a machine to drain them of their Hero Cores' energy. However, Rotor was frustrated with his and XPlode's plan, so he tried to defeat the Heroes immediately, but he unintentionally ruined the plan by exposing the device to the Heroes. Stringer destroyed the device. The Heroes arrested the villains and put them in a prison. However, Von Nebula sent Thunder to break the villains out.(Galaxy's Most Wanted - Evil to the Core )

At one time, Stringer met Corroder.^{[Episode 2]}

Rise of the Rookies

Trials of Furno

Stringer, along with Stormer, Bulk, and one of Alpha 1's new rookies, William Furno, was sent to guard a C-4000 shipment to Merak 9. However, the criminals XPlode and Rotor arrived and the team engaged them. Although they succeeded in protecting the explosives, both criminals escaped.^{[Episode 1]} The Heroes returned home.^[C1]

Core Crisis

After Stormer Furno, Natalie Breez, and Mark Surge fought XPlode and Rotor on Lemus 2, and then Furno captured Rotor,^{[Episode 1]} Stringer later went with Bulk and rookies Mark Surge and Natalie Breez to Lemus 2 to repair the damage caused by the battle.^{[Episode 2]} Stringer, Bulk, Surge, and Breez were called to Tantalus 5 to battle Corroder, who was attacking the construction site of Penitentiary 1331 there. While Breez evacuated the civilians, Stringer and the others held off the villain. During the battle, Corroder caused a pile of girders to fall, pinning Bulk beneath them. Stringer distracted Corroder while Surge attempted to free Bulk. Knowing that reinforcements would not arrive in time, Stringer suggested creating a Hero Cell, which Stormer, watching from Hero Factory, initially refused. However, they were forced to create one in order to survive. They were saved by Furno, and Corroder fled the scene.^{[C2][Episode 2]}

The Enemy Within

Returning to the Hero Factory after they encountered Meltdown, the rookies brought Stormer in infected with nanobots. The nanobots soon took over, and Stringer, Bulk, and Furno failed to stop Stormer from escaping the building. Stringer and the other Alpha 1 members went to find the cure for the nanobots on Lunar Tratix while Furno pursued Stormer. After encountering a Tratix Reptoid, the Heroes were able to find the cure, and returned to Makuhero City to administer it to Stormer.^{[Episode 3][C3]}

Von Nebula

Stringer and Bulk using particle separators

Stringer was called in with Bulk and Stormer to New Stellac City, where they encountered Thunder and Corroder. The rookie team arrived to aid them, at which point XPlode and Meltdown joined the fight. A black hole appeared over the city and stripped the Heroes of their weapons. Von Nebula revealed himself from within the vortex, and Stormer and Furno followed the criminal mastermind into it, leaving the other Heroes to deal with his underlings. Stringer and the other Heroes hid until the criminals ran out of ammunition and then retaliated. XPlode fired his Explosive Spikes as a last resort, but the Heroes survived using their new Particle Separators. Stringer and Bulk then wrapped the henchbots in metal bonds and, upon Stormer and Furno's return from the black hole, escorted them to Hero Factory.^{[Episode 4]}

It is unknown why Stringer was not with Stormer, Furno, Surge, and Breez when the four Heroes were fighting Fire Lord and his gang. Stringer was present when he was among many other Hero Factory Heroes and employees who witnessed Makuro was presenting the 2.0 Upgrade and introducing the first two Heroes were born with it, Julius Nex and Nathan Evo. Stringer and the other Hero Factory Heroes and employees were then present when Stormer, Furno, Breez, and Surge were showing their upgraded forms.^{[Episode 5]}

Stringer eventually got the 2.0 upgrade after it was perfected.^{[Episode 6]}

Savage Planet

Stringer in his 3.0 armor

In order to travel to the planet Quatros and assist their missing fellow Hero, Daniel Rocka, Stringer, Furno, Julius Nex, Bulk, and Stormer received new armor based on unique animals and abilities based on the attributes of the animals, as Stringer got armor based on a black bear and got the power of the black bear.

When the team approached the planet, Stringer playfully interrupted Nex by practicing a stealth move on him to surprise him when Nex was trying to boost every Hero's signal in the Drop Ship. Nex got annoyed by that, so he started a mock fight with Stringer. The five Heroes noticed that that the planet had changed in appearance. Upon landing, Stormer found an injured Rocka, who told him that Witch Doctor was responsible. Furno went after Witch Doctor, and Stringer and Nex went to catch up to him. The three then encountered a group of jungle animals under the control of the Witch Doctor, though they were soon called away. Alpha 1 eventually came across a teleportation bridge capable of taking them to the Witch Doctor's mining site, though the bridge could only take three at a time. Stormer put Furno and Rocka each in charge of a three Hero unit, and Stringer went with Furno and Nex on the longer way around. Along the way, they encountered a corrupted Scorpio and Waspix.^{[Episode 6]} They managed to free the Waspix from Witch Doctor's influence, but the Scorpio chased them all the way to the mining site. There, they rescued the other unit, which had been shrunk by the effects of the teleportation bridge, and restored them to size. Stringer freed the Raw-Jaw, Witch Doctor's Quaza miner, from his corrupted Quaza spike, and then began working with Bulk to liberate the Fangz hounds. Witch Doctor was eventually defeated and apprehended, and the Quaza was restored to the planet.^{[Episode 7]}

Since the mission was completed, Stringer has made Quatros his personal cause. He always volunteers to partol the sector to make sure the force field is intact and no miners or poachers have invaded Quatros. Stormer always encourages this, believing Heroes do best on missions they personally care about.^[FO:MSG]

Breakout

While Furno and Rocka were placing Voltix into a containment cell, the villain incited a mass breakout of the Hero Factory. Stringer, along with Furno, Rocka, Stormer, Surge, and Evo, attempted to quell the escape, but were all overpowered. As part of the recapture effort, Stringer was given an armor upgrade and upgraded Hero Cuffs, and assigned to recapture Voltix.

Stringer preparing to fight Voltix

Stringer tracked the villain to Tansari VI. A Hero Recon Team agent called "Omega" took him to the planet,(Omega Recon Reports) and Stringer came there with a Hero Pod.^{[Episode 9]} Stringer went to a power collection array, which Voltix was using to create a powerful electric for his own personal use. When Stringer found Voltix and noticed him stealing the power collection array's energy cells, Stringer tried to use his new Hero Cuffs to capture Voltix, but Voltix disabled them, preventing an automatic capture. When Voltix ran and Stringer chased after him, Stringer got lost in the thick mist that covered the area while dodging Voltix's electric attacks. Stringer inadvertently found his Hero Cuffs, but Voltix eventually gained the upper hand in their fight by using his Shooting Volt Blaster to absorb the power collection array's electricity-collecting pillars to try to disable Stringer by striking his Core.^{[Episode 8]} However, the effects of the attack were temporary, and Stringer used his Hero Core to reawaken himself. He removed Voltix's voltage booster switch on his back, but after Stringer accidentally tripped onto a power cell, Voltix got his switch back ans reattached it to his back. When Voltix tried to use the Blaster to blow up an energy cell to destroy Stringer, the energy cell exploded, and the others absorbed Voltix's power, rendering him powerless and his Shooting Bolt Blaster useless. This allowed Stringer to use the Hero Cuffs in a manual capture on Voltix. Then, Stringer removed Voltix's red wires from his head, making him unconscious. This allowed Stringer to pick up Voltix, finally recapturing him. However, Stringer was struggling to find his Hero Pod because of the mist.^{[Episode 9]}

Shortly after, he was assaulted by another escaped convict, Core Hunter, although Core Hunter was soon chased off by Bulk. Stringer eventually found his Hero Pod, and Omega took him back to the Hero Factory.(Omega Recon Reports)

Stringer discovered that the climactic battle with Black Phantom had already occurred, and that the Heroes were ultimately victorious.^{[Episode 9]} Stringer went to increase Hero Factory's Villain Storage's security measures, so a breakout would not happen again.^[FO:MSG]

The Doom Box

Stringer was recalled with the rest of Alpha 1 to stop Core Hunter from assembling the Doom Box. After reviewing Bulk's, Stormer's, and Stringer's mission logs, Alpha 1 was dispatched to probable locations of the Doom Box fragments. Surge and Stringer were sent by Stormer to the freighter where Stringer had battled Core Hunter right before his capture by Hero Factory, as the villain had supposedly hidden one of the fragments of the Doom Box in the ship's cargo hold. Stormer also explained that there was a possibility that the creature that Stringer and Core Hunter fought might have came back to make a nest there and would remember Stringer. Stringer recruited a group of security robots from the company that manages the ship graveyard to make sure Core Hunrer would not be able to get away. Navigating the ship, Stringer noticed that the Hero Factory sensors were jammed by Core Hunter, and then told the security robots to go explore the freighter's corridors. Stringer told Surge to scout ahead, too, but Surge insisted to come with him because it was too dangerous to fight Core Hunter alone, so Stringer brought him along. They were attacked by Core Hunter's mercenaries, who deactivated the security robots. Stringer felt outnumbered, so he told Surge to go to their Drop Ship and get help, despite Surge's protests. However, Bulk, Breez, Stormer, and Furno arrived, and Bulk saved Stringer. The six Heroes defeated the mercenaries and then all confronted Core Hunter at the freighter's cargo hold. Surge shocked Core Hunter, causing the villain to spasm and accidentally reform the Doom Box, but Arctur arrived, shattered it again, and teleported Core Hunter to the only place he could actually activate the Doom Box. Arctur explained that Core Hunter has to activate the Doom Box for it to be destroyed, as then the villain's Hero Core Remover Tool could absorb the energies.

The Heroes and Arctur then confronted Core Hunter at the Doom Box's forging site. Stormer manipulated Core Hunter into activating the Doom Box, causing Core Hunter to try to kill Stormer, but Arctur got in the way and got killed, instead. Right after Core Hunter activated the Doom Box, Breez used Core Hunter's weapon to absorb the Doom Box's energies. This ended the Doom Box's threat, but gave Core Hunter unlimited power. Core Hunter defeated Stringer and the other Heroes save Surge, who reflected the Doom Box's energy at Core Hunter. This caused the villain's body to fold in on itself, and he vanished. After the Heroes returned to Hero Factory, the Doom Box was locked away, and Stringer continued to round up villains.^[SM1]

Voltix got recaptured again.^[SM4] It is unknown if Stringer was the one to have recaptured Voltix this time.

Brain Attack

It was unknown what Stringer was doing when a swarm of Brains attacked Makuhero City.

Robot Rampage

At some point, when Evo's pet wolf-lizard got free and feasted on the delicate wiring of the Hero Factory's communication system, it tooks three days for Stringer to fix the communcation system. Bulk is aware of the situation.^{[SM3, p. 24]}

Stringer was sent to investigate the downed communications on Tranquis VII, in its only city called Tranquis, in a radio silence.^[SM4] Furno could not contact Stringer because of the radio silence. Stringer was not involved in Mission: Collision Course because of the mission.^[SM3] When Stringer arrived, he was attacked by a swarm of Brains, his Drop Ship was destroyed by them, and the Brains prevented him from using a space ship on the planet.

A week later, Stringer was forced to flee to a working communication tower and managed to send Furno a distress signal, telling him to get Stringer off-planet and the planet quarantined, before one of the Brains possessed him, interrupting and ending the call, causing Furno to notify Hero Factory about the situation.

Controlled by the leader of the swarm, Stringer became one of the only fully functioning robots as Tranquis VII's native robots have a partial resistance to the Brains. He noticed the natives' partial resistance, so he planned to get perfectly functioning pilots to help him and the whole swarm go to the Hero Factory. He had a hard time making the other Brain-possessed robots understand him for two hours. Stringer used a badly damaged hotel in Tranquis as his headquarters. When Bulk and Furno arrived, He and the other Brains captured their Drop Ship while he discovered its new chameleon function. Stringer tore out the wiring from the tower's communicating equipment to make it unable to contact anyone. He and twelve Brain-controlled robots then found, surrounded, and fought the two Heroes, but were interrupted by Karter and his team of security robots called S-12 units, saving the two Heroes, causing Stringer and the Brains to retreat. To ensure the success of his army, Stringer made a plan where he would contact Hero Factory to ask for more Heroes for backup, with the intent of turning them into a capable battle force that could take the whole army to the Hero Factory. Stringer told his several fellow Brain-possessed robots who were guarding the Drop Ship his plan. He contacted Stormer through the Drop Ship asking for more Heroes for backup. Stringer said to Stormer that there is a rebellion in Tranquis VII needed to be crushed by the Hero Factory. He then went to investigate Karter's faction. Stringer became aware of Karter's faction's secret underground laboratory complex under the city and weapons system called Project Sunstorm in the complex. Stringer planned to use the weapons system. Furno went to get him in the communications tower, but Stringer noticed him, so he used the tower's speakers to attack Furno, but Furno destroyed all but one of the speakers while Stringer used the last one to tell Furno that he wanted to talk to him. Stringer attacked Furno while Furno was climbing on the tower. When Furno reached to the roof of the tower, Stringer offered to make Furno a public face for the new empire of the Brains, but was turned down. Furno was able to overpower Stringer, and apprehended the controlled Hero with Stringer's cuffs. The Brain decided to force Stringer to commit suicide as a result, having him jump out of the tower. However, as Stringer was about to fall, he was saved by a tractor beam of the Drop Ship remotely controlled by Stormer, and Furno knocked the Brain off him.

Furno and the recuperated Stringer set up an electromagnetic pulse on the whole city while Stringer estimated that the electromagnetic pulse would shut down anything electronic for at least five or six hours.^{[SM4, p. 116]} After they set a timer for the electromagnetic pulse to 15 minutes, they arrived to the location of Project Sunstorm to stop the Brains, including one possessing Dumacc, from using the weapon. Stringer, Furno, Bulk, and Karter fought and quickly defeated many Brain-possessed security robots. After Bulk stopped Dumacc, and he had Stringer shut the weapon down. Stringer, Bulk, Furno, and Karter went to the safe room to avoid the electromagnetic pulse, which shut down all of the other robots in the city, preventing the Brains from controlling them. After the Brains were cleaned up from Tranquis, Stringer and his fellow Heroes went to the Hero Factory. A week later, he and Stormer discussed about the situation. Recognizing a conspiracy and somebody directing the Brains as distinct threats, Stormer decided to focus on the Brains, showing Stringer a new power source for Hero Cores.^[SM4]

Stringer was busy being debriefed on the Tranquis VII mission, and was not chosen for the guard assignment that resulted in four Alpha 1 members being accidentally sent to a parallel universe.^[SM5]

Invasion from Below

It is unknown what happened to Stringer, for he was not included in the team during Mission: Invasion From Below.

Alternate Universes

Reality 11275.6

Jimi Stringer was part of Alpha Team until it was defeated by Black Phantom. He was imprisoned in the Citadel, Von Nebula's crime syndicate. He is good friends with William Furno. Jimi managed to hide a communicator that Alpha Team used to use.

Recently, Jimi, William, and the other Heroes in the Citadel's prison had been freed by the Alpha Team of the prime universe. When the Brains invaded the Citadel seeking the prime universe Alpha Team, William wanted to go back to help the team fight the Brains and the Citadel, despite protests from Jimi and one of the former prisoners. Jimi gave the communicator to William, and Preston received the transmission, shocking Furno, Stringer, and their group of Heroes. The alternate universe's Alpha Team was reformed while joined with Stormer's group of Heroes who were hiding with him. The Heroes stormed the Citadel and helped the prime universe's Alpha Team fight against the Brains, and both teams defeated them.^[SM5]

Abilities and Traits

Jimi Stringer enjoys fighting for the Hero Factory cause, but is very laid-back, calm, and cool under pressure during missions. This attitude occasionally annoys his teammates, but helps him in dealing with the stressful situations they get into. Unlike the other members of the Alpha 1 Team, Stringer likes working with rookie Heroes,^[HFPM] as he is always happy to help them with their training.^[MtH] He sometimes makes jokes, even during a dangerous mission, though he can get serious in the mission.^[HiA] Stringer can get a little distracted sometimes, forget his gear in strange places, and lose track of time. He makes up for it by his ability to just take charge and get the job done. When things do not go as planned, other Heroes can always trust his ability to do what he has to do to get things under control. Bulk makes better speeches than Stringer.^[SM4] Stringer is fast to ask questions, even ones about Preston Stormer.^[FO:MSG] He has accomplished hundreds of important missions.^{[SM4, p. 99]}

Stringer has a passion for music,^[HFPM] and applies his casual, philosophical attitude about fighting toward lyric composition as well. He also likes to play music whenever he is on a trip in a Drop Ship.^{[SM2, p. 40]}

Stringer is a cunning strategist and an agile fighter.^[SM4] He was practicing his stealth moves during Mission: Savage Planet.^{[Episode 6]} He is also a master of sonic weaponry and a skilled musician. He is used to studying the different layers of a song, so he is always looking for the different layers of a situation, too. Even the smallest noise gets his attention.^[SM1] Stringer looks over and can use technology very well,^[SM3][SM4], and he is better at rigging communications towers than Furno, which was why Furno asked for his help in rigging a communications tower in Tranquis to create an electromagnetic pulse.^[SM4] He knows very well about Roboball techniques, and taught Furno them.^{[Episode 7]}

Stringer is close friends with Preston Stormer and Dunkan Bulk, and Stormer usually discusses with them on how to deal with difficult problems.^{[Episode 2][SM3][SM4]}

The Brain that possessed Stringer is conniving, and would be willing to sacrifice Stringer's life if he is stopped by the Heroes, even if it would mean costing the Brain's own life to do so. He was also manipulative, as he tried to convince Furno to be his swarm's representive that will convince people to obey them since the people respect Furno, but he refused.^[SM4]

Armor and Weapons

Stringer carried a Sonic Boom Weapon, which helped him use his love for music as a fighting style. He continued to use this weapon in his 2.0 form. He also had a jetpack.^{[Episode 3]} Stringer was given a Particle Separator from Nathaniel Zib. He was also implied to have given a pair of Anti-Gravity Thruster Rings.^{[Episode 4]} When Stringer was once a 1.0 Hero, he once made some adjustments to his 1.0 armor, where he could use subsonics, which was sound too low to be heard normally, and where the vibrations would be enough to be used to do some damage on the large deaf creature from the freighter.^[SM1]

Stringer was upgraded to a 2.0 form with the mass change initiated by the Hero Factory. He became slightly taller than his 1.0 form.

He was briefly upgraded to 3.0, with animal armor based on attributes of the black bear, as he gained the strength and endurance of the black bear.^[FO:MSG] He carried a triple-bladed bear claw, with a built-in plasma gun, which shoots blasts that look like the Sonic Boom Weapon's sonic blasts.^{[Episode 6][FO:MSG]}

After the mass breakout at Hero Factory, Stringer was given new armor specially designed to counter the criminal Voltix, including speakers called Sonic Speakers built into his armor, which are designed to disrupt the path and intensity of the villain's electric weapons. Stringer was also given a weapon called a Sonic Blaster. He is also equipped with a new set of Hero Cuffs, which can fly and seek out their target.
