As an UNTIL Agent, he uses the standard UNTIL equipment. Brandon Winters preferred weapon of choice is the U-KTF "Katie" Blaster Assault Rifle. The Assault Rifle is a variant on the U-CCC Blaster Rifle, but the U-KTF has automatic fire. The blasts are powerful enough to knock over a brick wall. Like other agents, he uses the standard sidearm, the U-SHL "Shellie" Blaster Pistol. The pistol fires a Pulson bolt that is able to make an average person fall to the ground. For tougher individuals, the Shellie needs a few more hits to get the job done. Tucked in his harness, he carries a UB-1 Battle Knife. In a combat situation the combat knife is Winters' last resort, no matter how big the opponent is. The agent can almost always be seen in his U-AS Basic Combat Uniform.
Experimental Devices
"Woah, B. Winty Wint, It looks like you're having some trouble over there..."
"Oh, shut up, Matthews! We are throwing a shell at your position. Take cover, Winters!"
―An excerpt from a secure UNTIL transmission. Operators Matthews and Smith initiating the Sky Hammer onto Agent Winters' opponent.
Winters' main objective is to field-test experimental weaponry for UNTIL's R&D branch. The equipment he must test are supposed to replace the current line of standard issue technology. Whether the new devices are good enough to be mass-produced remains to be seen. The prototypes Agent Winters has to test all come with their special perks but also have their flaws.
The U-XSAP Plasma Shotgun fires about 25 small shards of red-hot plasma per blast. This weapon is not to be used near civilians due to the high-risk chance of casualties. The purpose of this semi-automatic shotgun is to neutralize heavy armor and mechanical beings. The shotgun has a built in state-of-the-art coolant system, but it can easily overheat if the shots are not evenly spaced for about ten seconds.
For superhuman crowd-control, UNTIL scientists have made the ECW-4 "ElectroWeb" Grenade. Packed inside a small canister, the ElectroWeb is made up of sticky, tightly weaved, metallic fibers. Underneath the twisted fibers are copper wiring that carries an electric current. Tiny black generators run along the fibers and create a shock powerful enough to severely injure a normal human being. When the canister is thrown, the web entangles anyone within a 5 feet radius. The electric current almost immediately kicks in. There are two main drawbacks with this device. One, the shock only lasts for about 3 seconds. Two, it is noted that that the current can weaken the metallic fibers.
The X-UAS 2 "Sky Hammer" Unmanned Air Support Drone is a very expensive piece of technology, so it may never see actual combat use. Only two prototypes have been made. This version that Winters has, comes with a technologically advanced stealth-cloaking system. The Sky Hammer can reach speeds of 581 mph. It is operated by two people on the ground. It is mainly to be used as a recon drone, but the Sky Hammer has a heavy Pulson cannon attached to it and will provide aerial support when needed. UNTIL has been given special permission from PRIMUS to fly this drone in isolated areas inside the United States of America, and it is never to be used near cities.
Service Record
Sierra-Kilo
UNITED
In February of 2011, The idealistic Colonel Nathan Hayes was given permission by High Command to create a branch of experienced UNTIL Agents from different fields. It was UNITED (The United Nations' Infiltration, Tactics, and Enforcement Detachment). From early on, it was joked that UNITED was to be the UNITY for the Average Joe. Colonel Hayes had contacted a few of his most-wanted agents to meet him at UNTIL's Millennium City Headquarters to register their transfers into the database. Among those agents were Brandon Winters and Hound from Sierra-Kilo. The other three agents were nicknamed Laughter, Dead Eye, and Ranger Prime. An agent in UNITED was to be better than the average soldier. They were outfitted with various gadgets; their physical performance was rigorously tested. Elite men and women were not the only ones recruited. Superheroes, too, such as Gravitas and Ramiel Alexander were added onto the roster. In Colonel Hayes' eyes, UNITED had to be the best-of-the-best in order to match against more than just one Super-powered villain. The new division was to be perfect, able to deal with every international threat more efficiently than any other team UNTIL had seen before.
Colonel Hayes oversaw the entire division. He promoted Brandon Winters from Sergeant to Lieutenant and put him in charge of the field team. Hound continued to be Winters' right-hand man.
The division's very first combat experience had been declared a disaster. It was only a week after UNITED officially began when the heart of Millennium City had been attacked by paramilitary terrorists called the Red Legion. UNITED was the first to detect them, and once they quickly discovered just how dangerous the threat was, they called the local Superheroes for help. The Red Legion troops were heavily armed to take down Super-powered individuals. Winters led his team throughout the Downtown area. Him and his team, along with many superheroes, fought the insurgents from rooftop-to-rooftop and from street-to-street. The heroes were able to fend off the Red Legion but at a heavy price. The damage toll in downtown was high. Everyone wanted to know where this new villain group came from and how they were able to bypass security. Most importantly to UNTIL, it was a mark of a failure for UNITED: The branch of UNTIL that was carefully designed to keep threats contained with low death counts.
Because of the result of the Red Legion attack, the leaders of UNTIL had wanted to drop the project. Colonel Hayes fought hard to keep his division going, promising that UNITED would do better next Operation. Colonel Hayes bumped up the recruitment effort and stressed Winters to get the recruits ready for anything. The next big thing that Millennium City had to face was not the Red Legion, but the Bloodmoon of February 25th, 2011. Unfortunately, UNITED was only able to stay on the grid for two more months. Due to budget constraints from UNTIL, the branch was disbanded. This left all the men and women of UNITED to go their separate ways. Brandon Winters was once again assigned a desk job to help monitor the Respond and Protect channels.
Associates
Scorcher: Leading the team of five agents was his first big assignment after a year of service in UNTIL. Winters' Sierra-Kilo was seen as reckless in the eyes of High Command. They were an odd bunch of men that swore unwavering loyalty to their mission and to each other. Scorcher was the oddest. He was the heart and personality of Fireteam Sierra-Kilo. His strange fixation to blow things up led to an interesting philosophy that, to this day, Winters' still does not understand. Weird or not, Winters liked Scorcher, but they only rarely see each other now-a-days.
Agent Hound: He was the right-hand man of Winters during Sierra-Kilo and again in UNITED. Hound was trained as a Specialist and was the best unarmed-combat fighter Winters ever had to work with. After UNITED was decommissioned, the two agents were assigned to different objectives on different sides of the globe. Winters still keeps tabs with Hound every once in a while.
James Perkins: He was just a client to Winters. UNTIL wanted Winters to trade James Perkins ammunition for his technology. In turn, James became Winters' bodyguard, because James needed that ammo. It was not before long until they found out how much they had in common. Which is guns, guns, and more guns.
Thundrax: What's to say here? Winters looks up to the respected Canadian Superhero.

Tropes
Badass Beard - His goatee.
Ensign Newbie - After being promoted to sergeant, he was assigned with the weirdest group of underdogs to take their previous squad leader's place. This trope was played straight up until the resurrection of Sierra-Kilo, when Winters became more of a Sergeant Rock instead.
Insert Grenade Here - This has happened to him far too many times in Sierra-Kilo.
The Squad - Sierra-Kilo. Brandon Winters was The Leader, Hound was The Big Guy, Scorcher was the Demolitions Expert, Jericho, the Cold Sniper, and lastly, Private Gage played the New Meat.
