Bruno Horgan was a weapons developer and rival of Stark Industries who began working for A.I.M., developing microwave radiation technology. He resided at his own base where the Proton Cannon was. One day, Iron Man attacked. The two had it out in a call as Horgan explained he had the better deal with A.I.M., which Stark did not agree with.
Melter is defeated
As Stark kept destroying more weapons, Melter got into his Melter Armor to defend the Proton Cannon. He performed counter maneuvers on Stark, distracting the latter enough to not see the missiles coming at him. However, Stark's power was too much for Melter, who was killed by a blast. Stark then went on to destroy the Proton Cannon.[2]
Horgan developed his own armor, which rivaled Iron Man's.
Superhuman Durability: Horgan's suit gave him slightly more durability, especially in his hands, which had a gauntlet.
Power Suit: Horgan's suit had many other powers such as a radio frequency and a gauntlet that could be powered, allowing him to have energy blasts.
Abilities[]
Genius-Level Intellect: Horgan's intelligence was very well-regarded. Although Iron Man believed it to be inferior to his own.
Master Engineer: Horgan built many weapons that were deemed effective, although they were sloppy. He built his own Melter Armor as well as the Proton Cannon.
Equipment[]
Melter Armor: Horgan wore a suit of armor he developed himself that gave him energy blasts.
