Background

Shawn Crawford joined the FBI after graduating from Hudson City State in 1989. He loved his work as a field agent and was quite good at it, but during a rural manhunt one cold December night he mysteriously dissappeared. Shawn was engulfed by a mysterious fog and found himself transported fifty years into the past and granted amazing powers.

As a pre-war crimebuster, Protector worked with the FBI and a gang of teen volunteers called the Shield Brigade. When the US entered World War II, he was called in by the War Department as a founding member of the Forces of Liberty. During this time, Shawn fell deeply in love with teammate Roberta "Bobbi" Marshal, aka American Weapon. When the super soldier serum became unstable and caused Bobbi to become insane, it was Protector who was forced to kill her, rather than allow her to destroy America's prototype A-Bomb.

Heartbroken over what had happened, Protector decided to end it all at the rural cabin where he and Roberta had begun their romance. But before he could, the same mysterious fog that had transported him to the past reappeared and gathered him back to his native time. He has since joined the Golden Gate Guardians and resumed his career with the FBI.

Powers and Tactics

Crawford is a seasoned combat veteran. Between his experience fighting villains during World War II and his career as an FBI agent, he has a lot of combat experience. He prefers to use his fists in a fight, but has been known to try more unorthodox stunts when the need arises.

Protector is far stronger than a normal man and is impervious to small arms fire. The heaviest thing he was ever observed to lift was a German battle tank, which he overturned as it approached an Allied machine gun nest in 1943.

Personality/ Motivation

Life picked up Shawn Crawford, chewed him up and spit him out. He survived, but not unscared. He has a deep, personal loyalty to his country and a strong moral code. However, he is still torn by the death - which he caused - of his true love.
