Fictional Character Biography
Alton Vibreaux was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Working as a seismologist and engineer, he fell into the San Andreas Fault during the test of his experimental apparatus, giving him superhuman powers. He sought vengeance on his employer Franklin Fortney, and battled James Rhodes as the second Iron Man. He battled Rhodes again, but was defeated by Tony Stark wearing the original Iron Man armor. Alongside the Griffin, he attempted an escape from the Vault, and encountered the Falcon and Nomad. Vibro caused a massive earthquake in Los Angeles, and battled the Avengers West Coast, and later battled the original Iron Man again.
Vibro was killed and resurrected by the Hand and joined an assault on the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier which resulted in its destruction.
Vibro is later recruited by Mandarin and Zeke Stane to join Iron Man's other enemies in a plot to take down Iron Man.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“A person of definite character and purpose who comprehends our way of thought is sure to exert power over us. He cannot altogether be resisted; because, if he understands us, he can make us understand him, through the word, the look, or other symbol, which both of us connect with the common sentiment or idea; and thus by communicating an impulse he can move the will.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
