Blade and ripsaw

Before Ripsaw ‘died’, They were really close buddies with Blade. After Blade lost his right arm in the original Nemesis fight, Ripsaw is the one who invented the prosthetic mechanical replacement. They bonded over their mutual sticky fingers and penchant for savage wordplay. Ripsaw always seemed to get along better with Phalanx personnel, but they were always loyal to each other first and foremost.
