Biography
Simon Phoenix
Phoenix became a wanted criminal responsible for many crimes like theft, kidnapping, robbery, and murder. He declared his own kingdom in South Central within Los Angeles, having all other street gangs, drug dealers and even some murderers under his control. In his last crime in 1996, he took over 30 bus passengers hostage for trespassing at his building, but when LAPD officer Sgt. John Spartan interfered, he set alight tanks of C4 and after a brief fight with Spartan, he was captured and taken away before the building was blown to pieces. Meanwhile, other cops have found the corpses of the hostages with Phoenix being found guilty of the murders and condemned. But he framed Spartan for not caring about the hostages and as a result of Spartan too was wrongly accused of killing the civilians, and the two were frozen in a cryogenic prison, remaining there for years. In 2032, 36 years later, society changed drastically, with San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles being merged in one large so-called utopia named San Angeles. Phoenix was released from his confinement with a rehabilitation program that gave him astounding new skills and extra strength to help him adapt to the future. He discovers this when he knows the password to release him from his cuffs, easily kills many workers at the cyro-prison, is familiar with futuristic technology and overpowers several SAPD officers. During this time, he sees a programme on a computer screen, telling him he has a job to kill a man by the name of Edgar Friendly. Unable to deal with a violent psychopath like Phoenix, the SAPD decides to revive Spartan who was responsible for Phoenix's apprehension back in the 20th Century in hopes of capturing him again. While stealing weaponry from a museum (as all weapons were now banned and the last of them were displayed there), Phoenix is both surprised and annoyed that Spartan has come back, but immediately knows the reason why.
