Orange Man

The Orange Man was an assassin employed by William Laird, and thus served as an operative of the Free Spirit, a fanatical cult that believed that the next phase in human evolution would only be initiated by contact with extra-terrestrials.

The Orange Man dressed entirely in orange clothing, and had short red hair. He was sent to capture the woman known as Sparta when she was still locked up in an insane asylum, but failed after her doctor stabbed him in the chest with a syringe.

He somehow survived that encounter, and two years later, he was deployed to Mars to steal the Martian plaque. Though he managed to steal it, he killed Darius Chin, the assistant Mayor of Labyrinth City, in the process, which drew the attention of the Space Board. This ultimately led to a rematch between him and Sparta, who was now posing as a Space Board investigator.
