Challenges
Disliked and Shunned by Peers {There are some that do not take kindly to his careless demeanor.}
Blames Society and Others for His Situation {He feels that even though he ended Mad Gear through his selfless vigilantism and was heralded as a savior, as soon as he was wrongfully jailed for crimes he did not commit, he became disillusioned with being the hero that society wants. This is why he feels that his real home is a prison.}
Deadly Enemies: Mad Gear {The gang may be defunct, but the members that managed to get away scot-free without any sort of redemption will probably want his head.}
Deadly Enemies: Shadaloo {He has run afoul of M. Bison's villainous syndicate, especially during the Psycho Drive and BLECE events that were covered up by the World Warrior Tournaments.}
Haunted Past {As a child, he had to teach himself how to subside in the ghettos of Metro City. As an adult, his ex was kidnapped by one of the largest gangs to ever plague the East Coast...not to mention his fall from grace.}
Psychological: Love of the Fight {He went to jail for always starting brawls under the slightest provocation despite his connections with Mayor Mike Haggar and he looks obviously bored every time he fights (unless his opponent is actually worthy), presumably because he doesn't get any satisfaction out of fighting anymore and continues to do so only because he is simply addicted to it. It may well be that Cody didn't actually develop these tendencies until he was falsely convicted for them..}
Psychological: Apathy {He has developed a jaded worldview after spending time in prison.}
Prying Relatives, Friends, Associates: Guy {Cody's hard-lining ninja friend is almost always there to keep him in check, though this usually means that their arguments usually twist into bare-knuckle brawls. Despite their frequent battles, the two have no problem teaming up to achieve a common goal.}
Hatred Against Corrupt Police {Edi E. is one particularly nasty example of cops drunk with power and vice. After all, he was the man responsible for hauling him to prison. As such, he has an intense dislike of law enforcement officials that are in the pockets of criminals.}
Compulsion to Stick Up for Underdog {Deep down, past his bitterness, still shines the hero that protects the weak and destitute. He is not too keen on making it obvious, however.}

Biography
An American martial arts expert, specializing in knife fighting, Cody is a born street fighter who became known as the "Hero of Metro City" after rescuing his childhood sweetheart Jessica from the Mad Gear gang in Final Fight. However, he ended up becoming addicted to street fighting and was framed by old nemesis Edi E. for acts of assault committed by Poison. While in jail he breaks up with his girlfriend and most of his friends abandon him. He manages to escape during a jail riot. He appears again in Super Street Fighter IV on a quest to stop the threat that Seth possess to the world.
Cody's fighting style is street fighting in its "purest" form, and he proves to be a powerful opponent, even while restrained; his reason for keeping his handcuffs on is to make his fights more challenging, though he can take them off at any time. As such, Cody is one of three World Warriors (the others being Senjutsu hermit Oro and demonic combatant Akuma) who voluntarily handicap and restrain themselves.
In Final Fight, Cody is depicted as being a combative, reckless but ultimately positive and good-natured man, having a powerful sense of justice and love for Jessica. However, in his Street Fighter appearances, after breaking up with Jessica, losing touch with his friends and spending several years in prison, Cody has become extremely apathetic and aloof. He remains pugnacious as ever, occasionally breaking out of prison just to fight and relieve his boredom, and often maintains his generally dismissive air - a major exception being when he finds an opponent that can entertain him.
