Lionel Strongfort

His origins are mysterious, but the man known as 'Lionel Strongfort' first appears as the strongman in a travelling Romany circus, where he would perform feats of strength during the day, and take on all comers in no-holds-barred prizefights in the evenings. He soon became the main draw card of the circus but left at the height of his fame to join the professional wrestling scene. He fights to promote the efficacy and superiority of his personal corporeal training mail-order course 'Strongfortism: Rigor+Vigor=Bigger'.

Strongfort Combination LockTaught by an ancient Tajik wrestling guru and adapted by his own knowledge of human physiognomy, the Strongfort Combination Lock is initiated by a simple hand grab. A swift series of twists and bends applies, in sequence, a finger, wrist, elbow and shoulder lock to the opponent. Finally, Strongfort reaches for the opponents free arm and folds it into the lock, leaving the opponent involuntarily maintaining the excruciating lock series on him or herself, and Strongfort free to attack at will.
