Alágbẹ̀dẹ aka "Blacksmith"
made in Factory of Heroes
Arẹmọ Ekeh knows he got lucky. Sure, he grew up poor. He attended prestigious universities like Oxford and MIT on scholarships, but he knows he only got the chance because he caught the eye of famous industrialist Michael Ibru, and was sponsored into the computer science program at Michael and Cecilia Ibru University as a part of its founding class in 2015, just a year before Michael died. When he returned to Nigeria (with several PhDs) in 2021, he leveraged his skill with technology (especially metallurgy and magnetics) to get investors, and has made Alágbẹ̀dẹ Industries into a high-tech powerhouse in short order.
Aremo spends a significant amount of his personal fortune on charity, philanthropy, and infrastructure, as well as funding the Protectors and supplying them with tech.
Sadly, he faces common human corruption that undermines his work, and the active interference of the billionaire supervillain called Kishi . . .
