CHARACTER INFORMATION
-
Donyell Taylor is the product of a one
night stand between his unnamed mother and Daryl Taylor, father of Dwayne
Taylor. Daryl Taylor was a rich business man who had turned the inheritance
from the deaths of his parents into a hundred times the amount he was given.
With it he set up charitable foundations like the Taylor Foundation. Daryl
had been married to Dwayne's mother Melody since they were 18 years old.
Daryl met Donyell's mother while at the bar in the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago.
Daryl paid Donyell's mother a check worth six figures to keep quiet of
their affair after she revealed she was pregnant. Donyell resented Dwayne
for having the money and the family he never had. Dwayne resented the notion
that his life was somehow any better because he barely remembered his parents
who were murdered by Silhouette's father Andrew Chord. Donyell took the
name Bandit and began targeting Night Thrasher's old foes to prove he was
superior to Dwayne. Dwayne would later endure a severe beating at Bandit's
hands.[2] Later wanting a rematch, Bandit abducts Silhouette keeping her
tied to a chair under blinding lights in order to lure Dwayne into a confrontation,
but Dwayne wins the rematch.[3] Donyell begins sleeping with Silhouette
soon afterwards. When Night Thrasher, Silhouette, and various other members
of the New Warriors are sent back in time Donyell joins Hindsight Lad,
Sprocket, and his father's killer Andrew Chord in creating a new team of
New Warriors to save the originals. The team consisted of Bandit, Hindsight
Lad, Turbo, Darkhawk, Dagger, and Powerpax. Donyell later comes to terms
with his half-brother, finding common ground during their battle against
the Sphinx when the Warriors were returned to the proper time period.
