Eventually Furlong became Enforcer Pilot, flying a two-seater Enforcer Jet. Furlong, and his weapons system operator Jake Clawson, were among the first in the air to respond to an attack by the criminal known as Dark Kat. Furlong’s superior piloting abilities allowed him to keep pace with the elusive Fear Ship as it dangerously maneuvered in the skyline of Megakat City while all other pilots broke away. Dark Kat was set to bomb the newly constructed Enforcer Headquarters, but was narrowly stopped as Furlong set up Clawson to take a shot with an air-to-air missile.
The missile disabled the Fear Ship’s weapons, thwarting Dark Kat’s attack. As Furlong and Clawson prepared to fire a second time, Commander Feral caught up in his own jet, ordering the two to fall back, stating that he would handle Dark Kat from there. Furlong protested, saying he and Clawson had a target lock. Feral repeated his order, and Furlong reiterated their target lock. During their radio exchange, Feral’s jet collided with Furlong’s and Clawson’s, causing Furlong to lose control, forcing both occupants to eject. Their disabled aircraft plummeted out of the sky and into Enforcer Headquarters, completely destroying the upper levels. Feral’s jet was undamaged, but during the confusion, Dark Kat had escaped.
