Blaster (Colonel Neil McReady)

Colonel Neil McReady, also known as Blaster, is a supporting character in the Double Dragon animated series.

Colonel McReady moves back to Metro City upon his retirement after ten years of service. The Shadow Master creates a new designer drug called "Oblivion" and has Sickle and Trigger Happy distribute it in McReady's neighborhood. Trigger Happy also takes a neighborhood kid as hostage and the Shadow Master intends to use him as a guinea pig for an even more powerful drug called "Super Oblivion". McReady gets fed of the violence brought by the drug and arms himself with an experimental plasma blaster of his own design.

After finding where the Shadow Master has the kid, McReady bumps into Billy and Jimmy Lee in their "Double Dragon" forms, and after an initial misunderstanding, they fight together against the Shadow Warriors, rescue the kid and destroy the laboratory where Oblivion is being produced. The Lee brothers agree to make Colonel McReady a "Dragon Warrior" and he is code-named "Blaster".
