Downside (Traitor Black Gives In!)

General Downside was a member of the World Army in 2068.

He was one of the highest ranking officers present in London when the Mysterons recreated their city on Mars, as well as hundreds of others across Earth, and resumed their conflict against humanity following six months of inactivity, during which time Spectrum had been disbanded due to the apparent conclusion of the war. G Company was the first to respond and attempt to attack the Mysteron establishment in London, though they quickly reported back to headquarters that they desperately needed help due to the Mysterons taking over their men and using them against the other soldiers. Upon receiving this information, somebody else suggested sending in the Second Battalion but General Downside quickly vetoed this idea, instead telling the Electrode Rifle Brigade to move in and attempt to stop all mysterionised soldiers from leaving. From the field, he told World President T.J. Younger and the World Security Council over video link that the situation was "hopeless". He stated his men were not trained to fight Mysterons, deeming the battle to be a job for Spectrum. Commander Shore agreed with Downside and Younger concurred soon afterwards, with the President immediately making the arrangements necessary to reform the organisation and recall its former personnel from their new posts in order to deal with the crisis.
