Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Steve Parkhouse and Dave Gibbons are credited as the creators of the Freefall Warriors.
  • Character bios for the four members of the Freefall Warriors are included, although not all the details are covered in narrative material:
    • Cool Breeze: The latest development in bio-engineering from the laboratories of Intra-Venus Inc. But unknown to the executives of that company, an extra factor had been built into this android's genetic code — The "soul" factor!
    • Big Cat: The Free-Fall Warriors' maximum leader. Originally a mercenary flier, leader of the Hellcats flight — He's capricious, vicious and vindictive. One quality sets him apart from his human counterparts... He can see in the dark!
    • Machine Head: Originally human, massive implants transformed this operational high flier into one of the most devastating weapons in the Intra-Venus armoury — A dive fighter of Warworld!
    • Bruce: Product of the surgeon-sculptors of Rubicon, this shark-faced weirdo started life as a "sub-spacer," cruising the lower strata of subs-pace and pouncing on victims as they passed. In short, a pirate. Once wrecked on the planet Mahmoud and raised to deity status by stunned aborigines, he had bestowed upon him the gift (or curse) of invulnerability in battle. Seems to have held good so far.
  • This story introduces Cool Breeze and Big Cat before they formed the Freefall Warriors.
  • While not directly seen, Bobcat and Wildcat are in their Tigerfires and are named in A Cat Out of Hell.
