==History==
 
==History==
In [[3066]], Higgins tore through the Arenas to win the [[Class V Champions|Class V championships]] and earn his nickname "Hurricane" from Solaris VII fight commentators. Thanks to his ''Colossus'' and his tactics, with his unconventional use of the arm shields to defend other sections of his 'Mech surprised his opponents. His first match during that 3066 championship was well remembered by the audience. Mike was paired against a [[Bromley Stables]] ''[[Cerberus (BattleMech)|Cerberus]]'' and his tactics stunned everybody. He weathered a storm of [[Gauss rifle]] fire by using its arm [[shield]] to degrade the heavy weapon's striking power, and closed the range, catching the ''Cerberus'' pilot unprepared for the return fire thanks to the ''Colossus''' additional range given by the 'Mechs' [[X-Pulse Lasers]]. He was able to land hit after hit and also exploit the relatively weak armor that protected its opponent's heavy weapon, blowing both arms from the Cerberus and stunning the MechWarrior with neural feedback.
