 Johnny Alpha
I said my name was Johnny Alpha, and they accepted me into their ranks.
As well as his natural abilities, Johnny uses the weapons available to all Strontium Dogs - a blaster (Westinghouse variable-cartridge blaster in his case), electro-nux (electrified knuckle duster), time bombs and dimension bombs, beam polariser (capable of drawing energy beams from blaster weapons to it), and a short range teleporter.
Johnny comes from around the year 2178 A.D. His closest friends are Wulf Sternhammer (until his death), Middenface McNulty (who he served with during the mutant revolt years before), and the Gronk (a timid alien healer who eats metal).
