The Wolverines thought David Wayne was too scrawny to pilot a mech. They laughed in his face, telling him he needed more muscle and, hell, maybe a mustache to be worthy.

Now, as the mastermind behind Raven, Inc., he's built a team of outcasts, innovators, and fearless pilots willing to defy the impossible.
