[OOC] Titans: Unique Young Superheroes RP

[DrewVonAwesome]

This RP is a tribute to young heroes of the fictional world, Marvel, DC, or otherwise. Though keeping everything within a superhero style medium just for a solid overall theme. Comic book characters, cartoon characters, manga/anime characters, video game characters, even fictional book characters, if you can get them to fit into the superhero ideal, they're fair game. You can even change their details around to let them fit into the world better or in the sense of Marvel's Ultimate universe (minus nearly everyone getting killed in stupid story lines). The world this takes place in a mish-mash of the DC and Marvel universes. Gotham City is the capital of New Jersey, serving almost as New York City's darker counterpart, while Metropolis is located in Delaware. A beacon of modern know how with classic feel.

The goal is to have plenty of interacting between characters, so solo adventures are highly discouraged but not completely banned. The RP is set to take place during the fall of 2016.

TEAMS

The Avengers: SHIELD's pride and joy, the legendary superhero team that operates out of the Avengers Mansion in New York City. A team that has completely given up their private lives in the name of protecting the public, the team is beloved by the general public thanks to their routine good deeds and strong public image. Even if said public image has gained the ire of Daily Planet's CEO J. Jonah Jameson. The team have SHIELD not only providing them comfortable living conditions and pay, but help to clean up any damages the team inadvertently cause during battle.

Justice League: A group of superheroes who became privately funded through Wayne Industries CEO Bruce Wayne. With their headquarters both in a secret base in Washington DC, as well as a base located out in space. They operate in secret even to SHIELD with secret identities. Though SHEILD does label them as an illegal terrorist organization for this. They know the team has no ill intent, as they're just as beloved in many circles as The Avengers. Still Avengers members have been warned about interacting with this group of rouge heroes. Leading to seeing any interaction between the two very rare. Still the Justice League continue to do good work, though because they don't have the kind of backing the Avengers do, they are much more cautious about causing any destruction when they are at work.

Teen Titans: With the world's ever growing number of both super powered and non super powered heroes and villains alike. Things have picked up significantly for both Avengers and Justice League alike. However while The Avengers have SHIELD to help out the Justice League don't quite have the same luxury. Thus during an emergency meeting the team all got together and discussed ideas. From doubling the ranks to even putting Justice League teams on different countries. Soon the decision came to just form a new team of younger heroes that were cropping up around the world. Taking up responsibilities for overseeing the new initiative Batman had Nightwing visit and speak with various heroes who were deemed like possible prospects. It was a long process, some saying no, others not quite what they were made out to be. Finally though the team was determined and with a new based in San Francisco, modeled out of the remains of an abandoned warehouse and given the facade it still is. Project Teen Titans has now been deemed a go.

[knighthawk]

Full name:
Kurtis Wagner
Alias:
Nightcrawler
Brief Bio:
When Kurt Wagner was born, his mutancy was readily apparent, due to his blue fur, pointed ears, his strange extremities and his prehensile tail. His mother, Mystique found out that Magneto, whom she was working with at the time, had been genetically experimenting on him. She tried to leave but was pursued by Magneto and a pack of wolves. She accidentally dropped the baby into a river where he was found by Mr and Mrs Wagners. The Wagners loved Kurt, but understood that he could not walk freely in the outside world, as people would be horrified by his appearance. Eventually, the young mutant was discovered by Nightwing who knew a place a stealthy teleporter would fit in.

Abilities: (Powers, skills, training, and knowledge)

P,S,T,K

Teleportation:
He teleports by displacing himself into the Brimstone Dimension, traveling through it, and then returning to his own dimension at a certain distance from his point of departure. He consciously determines his point of return. The entire process occurs so quickly that Nightcrawler is unaware of being in the brimstone dimension at all. Nightcrawler guides himself through the brimstone dimension by an unconscious, natural direction-finding sense. Although Nightcrawler controls his teleportation ability with his conscious mind, his power to teleport is not psionic. Rather it is the result of an unknown biochemical/biophysical reaction which he triggers mentally. When he disappears in teleporting, Nightcrawler leaves behind smoke with a stench reminiscent of burning brimstone. This is a small portion of the atmosphere of the brimstone dimension that escapes while the aperture is open. His teleportation is invariably accompanied by the muffled sound of imploding air rushing to fill the vacuum left where Nightcrawler's body was. The longer the distance over which Nightcrawler teleports himself, the harder and more exhausting it is for him to make the teleportation "jump". It is easier for him to teleport between north and south (along Earth's magnetic field lines) than it is for him to teleport between east and west (against the magnetic lines). Under optimal conditions, teleporting only himself and his costume, Nightcrawler can displace himself a distance of about 2 miles east-to-west, and up to 3 miles north-to-south. Making a vertical teleportation upwards is difficult and dangerous. Nightcrawler has made a vertical teleportation "jump" of 2 miles by pushing himself to his physical limits. Nightcrawler's powers automatically displace liquids and gases when he arrives in the course of a teleportation. Nightcrawler's momentum is retained throughout the process of teleportation: he arrives with whatever amount of inertia he left with. For example, if he were falling from a great height, he could not teleport himself towards the ground in order to save himself; he would land with the same velocity that he teleported with. He can subtract this inertia by teleporting short distances upwards (as though taking two steps back for every one forward). As part of his power, Nightcrawler has also exhibited a limited ability to sense the teleportation of other beings. The limits to the mass that Nightcrawler can carry with him while teleporting, and the limits to the distance over which he can teleport himself with additional load is unknown. When he transports a passenger over even moderate distances, they both feel weakened and ill, to the point of exhaustion. Teleportation over further distances could be fatal. Through practice, Nightcrawler has increased the mass he can teleport with him.

Nightcrawler can use his powers offensively by grappling with an enemy and teleporting him or her in a series of rapid jumps. The strain of these "multiple ports" can exhaust foes without superhuman endurance while Nightcrawler remains strong enough to continue fighting.
Subconscious Spatial Awareness:
Nightcrawler has a very limited subconscious extrasensory ability that prevents him from teleporting himself so that his feet, for example, would materialize below the surface of the local ground. Because this ability is so limited, however, Nightcrawler will not teleport into any place that he cannot see or has not seen in the past. If Nightcrawler teleported himself into an unfamiliar area, he would run the risk of materializing partially or entirely within a solid object. If too much of his body materialized within a solid object, he would probably be killed.
Wall-Crawling:
Nightcrawler can stick to objects with the surface of his hands and feet. This enables him to scale surfaces.
Flexible Bone Structure:
Nightcrawler's bone structure allows him great flexibility. He can remain in a crouched position for a long time and perform contortionist type feats without causing any damage to his spine.
Camouflage:
He has limited abilities to blend into shadows, both as a result of his indigo fur and his connection to light-bending attributes of the dimension through which he teleports. This is also the explanation for why he constantly appears in shadow, even in direct light.
Prehensile Tail:
allowing him to grab onto objects with relative ease. His tail is strong enough to not only support his body weight but also lift an adult man completely off the ground, and is deft enough to fight with a sword or blunt object.
Night Vision:
Nightcrawler's always glowing eyes grant him a marked degree of heightened night vision as well.
Superhuman Agility:
Nightcrawler's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels beyond the human body's natural limits.
Superhuman Reflexes:
Nightcrawler's natural reaction time is enhanced to a level beyond the human body's natural limits.
Abilities
Master Acrobat:
Nightcrawler is an Olympic-class acrobat thanks to his flexible spine that allows him to perform contortionist-like feats and to go long periods in a semi-crouching position without injury.
Skilled Combatant:
He is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant and a master at fencing, which he can even perform with his tail, which is strong enough to support his entire body weight.
Aviator:
He has served as the team's pilot and, with Wolverine, has also been the mechanic of the X-Men's Blackbird jet for a long time.
Medic:
He has been the medic when no more qualified Titans were around to do so.
Strength level
Nightcrawler possesses above average strength of a man of his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise. At his peak, Nightcrawler can lift about 250 lbs.
Weaknesses
Despite Nightcrawler's superhuman powers, he is just as susceptible to disease and physical injury as any ordinary human. Also, because he is a neyaphem, angel's blood, which heals everyone else, hurts him, normally adding to whatever injury he received.

Personality:
He is a fun-loving and excitable personality. His superb swordfighting skill is Inspired by anime and Starwars (rather than the classical incarnations Errol Flynn influence)
He sees himself as a classical romantic at heart and hopes someday, someone will be able to look past his demonic appearance. Hell, lets be honest, he'd even be okay with some goth-wannabe who was only into his look just to be more dark.

Appearance: (Both picture and description would be preferred)
He can stand at a full five-nine but most often slips about in a five -six crouch and weighs in at a very athletic one-fifty.
Nightcrawler's physical mutation includes blue colored fur covering his body, two-toed feet and three-fingered hands, yellow eyes, pointed ears, fang-like canine teeth, and a prehensile tail. These features give him a demonic appearance.

aspirations when he becomes a member of the batman family

Takamachi Nanoha

Full name: Takamachi Nanoha

Alias: Nothing official, has been referred to as "The White Devil".

Brief Bio: Nanoha was a fairly ordinary young Japanese girl, until a mage who was temporarily a ferret found his way to her world, with a magical device called Raising Heart. Having always desired a deeper purpose, and to help people, Nanoha took up the device and became a magical girl herself, out to prevent the artifacts known as "Jewel Seeds" from wreaking havoc on Earth. It was during this time that she met Fate Testarossa, first her enemy, but now her very, very close friend. After the incident with the Jewel Seeds, Nanoha trained herself in magic further and further, in spite of her young age, until a later incident occurred. The Wolkenritter, magical beings used as gurdians by the dangerous magical tome The Book of Darkness, were draining magic in order to complete it. They believed this act would save their current master. The Book of Darkness was completely, and threatened the entire world, but due to the actions of Nanoha, Fate, the book's own Master(with the embodiment of the book), and the Wolkenritter, disaster was averted and the Book of Darkness's berserking defense program was destroyed. The incident gained national attention, and with collaboration from the TSAB(an administration working with intergalactic magical affairs) it was determined that Nanoha would spend some time with one of Earth's superhero teams, for young heroes for a time. Nanoha is fine with this as long as she could remain in contact with Fate and her other friends.

Abilities: Nanoha is a mage utilizing the Mid-Childan form of magic. This type of magic emphasizes nonlethal magical techniques, and in Nanoha's case a variable barrage of pink lasers. Nanoha's spells vary in their potency. There are spells such as "Axel Shooter", a spell creating varying numbers of pink "bullets" of magic which she can control as long as she can maintain focus on controlling them. Then there are more potent spells, such as Divine Buster, effectively a large beam of magic. Then there is her most powerful spell, Starlight Breaker, which gathers mana from the environment and from previously-cast spells into an immense ball which is then fired has a gigantic beam. Due to its nature, Starlight Breaker is only used towards the end of a fight, and only if necessary. Nanoha can cast binding spells to hold her opponent in place for spells with longer casting times, and is capable of flight using a spell known as Axel Fin. She also knows several defensive spells. Nanoha casts magic using Raising Heart, an Intelligent Device in the form of a staff which houses an advanced AI capable of thought and emotion. Its dormant form is a simple, small red orb, which responds to the activation phrase "Raising Heart, Please!" While Nanoha is Japanese, Raising Heart speaks in English, though there's no doubt that Nanoha has been supplied with a TSAB translator as she is working outside of Japan. Finally, Nanoha can conjure a "barrier jacket", a magical defense system in the form of a piece of clothing, which defends her from many nonmagical forms of harm. Bullets, and some other weapons, are of little use against her when her barrier jacket is active. Magical or more potent forms of harm, however, still can endanger her, though her barrier jacket can prevent lethal injury. All of Nanoha's spells are nonlethal, though they'll knock a target out cold, and physically she is a completely ordinary ten-year-old girl.

Personality: Nanoha is a kind, sweet-natured girl who always tries to understand everyone. Even if the road to understanding involved blowing them up with massive pink laser beams before they're willing to talk. Yes, Nanoha is very understanding, but even at her young age that doesn't stop her from realizing that some people won't listen until you make them stop fighting. She'll try to talk to her enemies first, but trying to talk to your enemies doesn't mean not defending yourself. She is protective of others and is a highly optimistic young girl, with a positive outlook on just about everything. She does not give up, even if it puts her in danger, and is very determined to be strong so she can help people better as demonstrated by her own intensive training. However, she is still a rather naive child and sometimes doesn't understand more adult subjects. Nanoha is dedicated to friendship, and especially that with Fate Testarossa. Nanoha's friendship with Fate is deep and highly affectionate, and the two girls are very close. Nanoha loves flying, and perhaps is somewhat too into her own firepower.

Appearance: "Starlight..."

Affiliations:
-The TSAB: The Time-space Administration Bureau, the TSAB is an organization operating off of the planet Mid-Childa, which can be compared to Earth's country of Japan with some European influences as well. The TSAB administrates worlds and is dedicated to the safety of civilians and the prevention of the abuse of magic. According to some sources they have something of a rivalry with the famed Green Lantern Corps. Specific individuals in the TSAB Nanoha is aligned with are Lindy Harlaown, Chrono Harlaown, and Yuuno Scrya.
-Fate Testarossa: Nanoha's closest friend and fellow mage, Fate shares a deeply affectionate friendship with Nanoha. Fate began as Nanoha's enemy, but this all changed and in the end they were allies and very close friends. They remain very close, Nanoha frequently contacting Fate, and even meeting her when it's possible for transport spells to be conducted covertly.
-Yagami Hayate and the Wolkenritter: Former master of the Book of Darkness, Hayate was simply a young girl suffering from physical disability, brought on by the book draining the life from her. She wasn't even aware of the Book of Darkness until the end, and helped the intelligent portion of it, Reinforce, as well as Nanoha and Fate and the TSAB, destroy its berserk defense program. The Wolkenritter are beings made of magic to defend the Book of Darkness and gather magic for it. They are the cool-tempered Signum, the fiery Vita, the friendly Shamal, and the guy-who-can-turn-into-a-dog stoic Zafira. The Wolkenritter currently work under TSAB jurisdiction.

[Metronome]

Name: James Buchanan Barnes
Alias: Captain America, The Winter Soldier, Bucky
Age: Technically somewhere in his 90s, maybe even 100s. But psychically speaking, he's around 28 or something.
Gender: Male

Affiliations:
Steve Rogers AKA Captain America (best friend)
Sam Wilson AKA The Falcon (Other best friend)
Natalia Romanov AKA Black Widow (Friend, Love interest)
The Avengers (Teammates)

Personality: James was standoffish to idea of training a bunch of kids. First off, he's not overly fond of kids. Second, he suffers from near crippling guilt over his actions in the past. However, Steve Rodgers and the rest of the Avengers (and SHIELD) had enough faith in the new Captain America, and encouraged him. So, begrudgingly, he agreed.

James holds most people at arms length, refusing to let himself get close. The few exceptions being the Avengers, who helped him through his rehab and whom he eventually fought beside. He's coarse, stoic, bullheaded, and maybe a little unsociable, but at the same time, he's patient and compassionate. He often means well, but he isn't sure how to interact with people anymore. It's clear that he's not too enthusiastic about being there, and the only reason he stays is because he's seeking some kind of redemption for the whole "Winter Soldier" thing.
However, after a few weeks at the base, (in between missions and mayhem), James finally starts to find that the kids are growing on him. He begins smiling more often, laughing at their jokes, and just finds himself in a better mood. One has to wonder, who's teaching who?

Abilities: (copy and pasted from the wiki page)

Having trained under Steve Rogers (the original Captain America in World War II) and others in the time leading up to World War II, "Bucky" Barnes is a master of hand-to-hand combat and martial arts, as well as being skilled in the use of military weapons such as firearms and grenades. He also used throwing knives on occasion and was a gifted advance scout. His time as the covert Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier helped to further hone his skills, making him the equal to his predecessor in combat skills and an expert assassin and spy. He is also fluent in many languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian, Latin, and Japanese. He can understand French.

Winter Soldier's left arm is a cybernetic prosthetic with superhuman strength and enhanced reaction time. The arm can function when not in contact with Barnes and can discharge bolts of electrical energy from its palm. The arm can discharge an EMP causing electronics to either shutdown or become useless. The use of Barnes' EMP is shown when Barnes uses it to shutdown a Nick Fury LMD and when he attempts to use it on Iron Man. The arm has a holographic function to disguise it as a flesh and blood arm.

As Captain America, he possesses the original, indestructible, vibranium alloy shield used by his predecessor, as well as a Kevlar/Nomex blend, shock-absorbing costume. He often carries several conventional weapons such as knives, guns - mostly a Colt 1911-A1 .45 and a P08 Luger - and grenades.

Other: Bucky isn't carrying Steve's shield anymore. When he came to the Titans, he insisted that Steve take it back so that he could fight with the Avengers. Besides, Bucky's always been more of a gun guy anyway.

He was recruited to help teach the Titans fighting and weapon skills. SHIELD was very avid about him doing this, mostly because they wanted someone they knew and trusted behinds the scenes of this new team to keep tabs.

Appearance:
Out of costume:

Bucky Barnes

In costume:

The New Captain America

History:

James lost his father early on in WW2. He was sort of adopted by the soldiers at Camp Lehigh as a mascot. There, at the age of 16, he was specially trained to be Steve Roger's sidekick. He fought alongside Captain America for a few years. All was fine and dandy until a mission went south. Captain American and Bucky found themselves of an experimental drone plane, armed with a bomb. The bomb exploded while they were trying to disarm it, sending Captain America into the North Atlantic to be deep frozen, and Bucky to god knows where.

Everyone presumed him dead when Captain America was found and unthawed. Little did they know that the Soviets had found Bucky first. He was revived, all memory of his past lost, and given a new arm. They 'reprogrammed' him to be their own personal Cold War assassin, the Winter Soldier. He was incredibly successful as he traveled all across the globe, committing assassinations and then disappearing like a ghost. However, because of his reprogrammed memories, he was unstable. To keep him from rebelling. The Soviets kept him in cryo freeze. This allowed him to live on for 70 years, while only aging a few.

It was 70 years later, after Captain America was thawed and brought back into action, that Bucky was discovered. While sent to assassinate the patriotic hero, Steve recognized his old best friend. SHIELD was eventually able to save him, bring back his old memories, and give him work to keep him busy. However, his identity had to be kept secret. The Winter Soldier's death was faked, so that no one would try to hunt him down. After Steve's supposed death after the events of the 'Civil War' , Bucky was talked into becoming Captain America. Only a select few SHIELD agents, and Avengers, know the true identity of this new Captain America, and if anyone else found out, they could all be in danger.

He's been Captain America few a couple years now.

[Metronome]

Full name: Artus
Alias: Still just Artus.
Age: 19 - physically
Gender: Male

Abilities: Artus possesses typical gargoyle abilities, including strength, speed, and agility greater than that of a human. When enraged, his eyes glow and his strength almost doubles. An enraged gargoyle, however, lacks good judgement skills. His wings are not built for sustained flight, however, he can use them to glide long distances. To do this, he must jump from a tall perch and use the wind to carry him. He can't take off from the ground.

His final ability is more like a weakness. Gargoyles are only active at night, as when the sun rises, they turn to stone. So every morning, Artus, too, hardens into stone. However, this stone forms allows him rest and healing from whatever wounds he received the night before. It could be life saving, if someone doesn't smash his stone form during the day. If his 'statue' is destroyed or maimed, he will not recover from it.

Personality: Artus is pretty non-conventional when it comes to gargoyles. He doesn't thrive on the traditions and celebrations of old times like many of his brethren do, but instead embraces the way of the future. Like his father was, Artus is pretty laid back, easy going, and friendly. He likes exploring human culture and mannerisms, often picked up a few of them himself. He's pretty optimistic and, overall, fairly typical of a guy his age.

However, he is still a gargoyle. Meaning, he has those defining personality traits of his species. He's very protective of those he calls family, and of humans in general. Gargoyles were created for the soul purpose of defending and protecting their human masters, thousands of years ago, and that instinct still remains in them. Although he's not too quick to anger, when he does get mad, it's nothing to laugh about. When enraged, gargoyles tend to loose themselves in a fit of anger. One that typically shies away from making lethal blows may snap a villain's neck for holding a gun on his friends.

Appearance: Artus stands at 6 feet even, and is still growing. His skin is a light greenish blue, and his eyes are golden brown. His hair, worn in a very modern mohawk, is jet black. Artus has a short mane of hair/fur that runs down his spin, ending at his tail. Artus can often be seen walking around in jeans, shorts, or other typical human attire. He has trouble getting shirts on over his wings, so he either just wears a tank top, or goes without. Wearing shoes, thanks to his large, clawed feet, is impossible.


Affiliations:
The Manhattan Clan - his family and gargoyle clan
Broadway - Father
Angela - Mother
Hudson - Grandfather, deceased

Notes: He really likes cooking and eating, but has a bad habit of not cleaning up after himself.

History:

Artus's egg was laid in 2008, and since gargoyle eggs are supposed to incubate for 10 years, he wasn't due to hatch until 2018. However, his egg, along with a few others, were stolen from his clan's hatchery by human scientists to be studied. They were too impatient to wait for the eggs to hatch, so they created a formula to speed the process up and force the hatchlings from their eggs early. This process sped up the hatchling's aging as well, making the infants grow into full adolescences in a matter of days. By the time the aging formula wore off, Artus and his hatchmates were physically around 12 years old.

They remained at the lab for a few more days, mostly confused and oblivious as to what was going on, until their clans tracked them down and managed to rescue them. Understandably angry, the hatchlings' parents laid waste to the lab. The children were taken back home to New York where their families began to deal with the consequence's of the humans' actions. Luckily, the children managed to grow up mostly normal.

Artus, despite having heard this story about the humans who forced him to age, was still fascinated by the creatures. His clan had been fighting crime in the dark streets of New York for years, despite the way humans may have treated them. They had many human allies. Artus wanted to push those slowly expanding boundaries between human and gargoyle. He watched the superhumans on TV and often thought about what it would be like to fight crime with them. When he caught wind of the Justice League making up a new, younger team, he jumped on it. After begging and pleading with his clan, he managed to convince them to let him go join the Teen Titans.

[knighthawk]

SO gargoyles age slower than humans (egypt/anubis episode) but he is accelerated aging, so will he have a human lifespan or even less?

[Metronome]

*shrug*

Does it matter?

[knighthawk]

Depends, if he matured to young adult in days, would he have only a few years to enjoy life like robin williams in Jack?

“It’s hero time!”

Name:
Benjamin Kirby Tennyson

Alias:
Ben 10

Brief Bio:

Ben was born in 2001 to Carl and Sandra Tennyson, a fairly normal couple in a fairly normal town. He lived near his cousins, Gwen and Ken Tennyson, as well as his loveable grandpa Max. He grew up a generally normal kid, completely and utterly the class clown, but still a fairly normal kid.

When the school year ended in 2011, Ben got blindsided by having a summer RV trip with his grandpa and cousin Gwen thrown on him. By ‘blindsided’ it was more ‘repeatedly told but kept forgetting’. Having made plans with his local friends of various shenanigans, Ben tried to plead his way out until he was told either he was going on the trip, or grounded for the whole summer.

Naturally Ben was in a very sour mood as the trip started. Refusing to have any of the fun things Max wanted to do. This infuriated Gwen which all came to a head when the three of them spent a night camping out in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin in Grandpa Max’s RV lovingly known as ‘The Rustbucket’. Gwen dragged Ben out to the forest where a screaming argument could clearly be heard for miles around. Finally Ben absolutely furious stomped away into the forest as Gwen went in the opposite direction. It took Ben a moment to finally cool off and realize he was completely lost.

In the skies above a sudden massive meteor shower coated the night sky in lights and motion. Gwen and Max tried to hurry up looking for Ben. Ben was in a panic, especially when an asteroid suddenly crash landed right near him. Knocking him off his feet and almost unconscious. When Ben came too, he hurried down into the crater the asteroid made. Finding at the bottom a strange wrist watch looking device. It seemed alien, glowing with some kind of energy that seemed to warm Ben to his core. Suddenly the device wrapped tightly around Ben’s left wrist. Infusing itself with Ben. When Gwen and Max finally found him, the device had turned Ben into a three foot tall alien, who promptly asked how the both of them grew so tall.

Ben found out that night a lot of things that blew his mind. Grandpa Max was former a plumber, something he knew already, but it was actually a secret organization designed to protect Earth from dangerous alien forces. It got even crazier when Gwen even ended up revealing that friends of Grandpa Max were teaching her magic. Finally the topper of it all was the wristwatch looking thing stuck on his arm. Max explained it was an alien device known simply as the Omnitrix. With it, the wearer can turn into any alien species that the wearer has contact with. It was a device that was deemed almost mythical in nature, something that held such power it could save entire species from extinction.

The three tried to continue their summer trip in peace, but quickly found themselves at odds with Vilgax. An alien overlord obsessed with taking the Omnitrix and using it to rule the galaxy. The three of them found themselves at odds with Vilgax repeatedly until finally with help from Max’s old allies in The Plumbers, Vilgax and his men were sent away for good.

Unfortunately for Ben, the real world suddenly came back into his life when the summer was over and it was back to the real world. Even still the experience had made him a more mature… to an extent at least… person. However Ben constantly found himself needing over the next few years to use the Omnitrix to help out in various problems that arose. When people asked him about the wristwatch. He’d panic and stammer a bad answer with his lack of skills in lying. Soon some years later people finally pieced the puzzle together that Ben Tennyson happened to be those aliens.

Ben worried about what he would do now that his normal life was completely over, but Grandpa Max had an old friend who owed him a favor. This all led to Ben getting an audience with the Justice League, and joining their new young heroes program in the Teen Titans.

Abilities:

Ben himself is a fairly healthy young man who is athletic, with backgrounds in baseball, soccer, and golf weirdly enough considering his spaz like behavior. However otherwise he’s just a normal guy. Ben’s biggest ability stem from the Omnitrix, an alien device strapped to his left wrist. With it, Ben can turn into a multitude of various alien creatures. Generally when activated Ben can stay in his alien form for 10 minutes, and have a five minute waiting period. But some aliens allow for more time and others less. Depending on how big they are and Ben’s own energy. If Ben comes into contact with any alien DNA the Omnitrix automatically saves it and stores it for later use. Any alien made with it having the black and green hourglass logo that the Omnitrix has on its chest or other such area. However, the watch can absorb the DNA of Mutants, Inhumans, Martians, Asgardians, Skrulls, Krees, Rannians, Thanagarians, and other species both humanoid and nonhumanoid. While Ben has numerous alien forms to choose from, he does have personal favorites…

•Brainstorm: Based on the Coluan race from the planet Colu, Brainstorm has incredible intelligence and can interface with electronics by extending quasi-biological cords from his fingertips. In this form, Ben has a green complexion and blonde hair.

•Heatblast: Bases on the species called Pyronite from the star Pyros. The transformation gives him a body composed of localized magma with a 'skin' of dark red charcoal. He gains the ability to toss balls of magma, immunity to heat based attacks, and the ability to shape some of his magma into stones by allowing it to rapidly cool.

•Riot: Composed of an organic sentient slime, Riot is a red form that is capable of reshaping itself for short periods of time. It is based on a species of Symbiotes (exact name unknown) that can attach themselves to hosts and amplify the hosts skills, abilities, and more, but at the cost of making the host become more aggressive. Once he is attached to a host, he can either allow them free will or dominate them

•Warhawk: Absorbed from the Thanagarian male Hawkman, Warhawk is capable of flight through the use of two large wings. He is unfeasibly strong and can fly at astounding speeds. He also has enhanced sight and vision.

•Water Hazard: Water Hazard's planet of origin and species is unknown. But he is a red-shelled alien capable of withstanding brutal blows and using impressive strength along with hydrokinesis and proficiency at swimming.

•Wildfire: Absorbed from the Tamaranian girl Starfire. In this form, Ben's skin tints into a shade of orange. He gains the ability to fly, blast bolts of energy out of his hands and eyes, super-strength, and immunity to many poisons as well as a resistance to energy based attacks.

•Wildmutt: Based on the species Vulpimancer from Vulpin, Wildmutt is an alien with the basic appearance of an orange reptilian canine, except he has a lack of eyes. However, he is capable of using an acute sense of smell and can detect heat signatures, which compensates for his technical blindness.

•XLR8: Based on a Kineceleran, from the planet Kinet. XLR8 is a black alien who can move at extraordinary speeds by 'skating' on the (literal) balls of his feet and a natural ability to manipulate friction. When he is running, a biological visor automatically covers his face. He has claws and a long tail that add to his appearance of an overall black and blue reptile.

•Ditto: The copy of a Splixson from the planet Hathor, Ditto turns Ben into a creature roughly the size of a human toddler. With, a black and white head, white face, along with black shoulders. One of the forms that Ben can use for much longer than others. Ben can with this form duplicate himself almost countless times. Each Ditto form operates independently, regardless of what the others want him to do. Though all will commonly work together for the common goal. They are also more flexible than a human, burrow into soft enough ground and out like a mole, and breathe underwater.

•Metacopy: During a visit to the Xavier School for the Gifted, when Ben ‘accidently’ bumped up against X-Men member Rouge. His Omnitrix stored her Homo Superior genetics into the machine. When activated Ben looks completely the same, only with black hair and a streak of white in the front middle of it. With it, having any physical contact with a mutant allows him to have the same mutant power. This doesn’t work quite like the aliens in that when the time’s up, he loses the mutant power he gained altogether, and can only have one or two at a time before they start getting haywire on him.

•Way Big: Of all of the alien forms Ben has in his arsenal. This particular form of the rare but very powerful To’kustar alien turns Ben into a toweringly large humanoid alien that is red and white toned, possessing superhuman strength and durability, shoot cosmic rays from his arms when formed in an L like fashion, and can create and manipulate cosmic storms. Which can be used in transportation or inhabitation. For Ben though, using this form causes a severe strain on him physically and mentally. Which leave him borderline unconscious whenever he transforms out of it, and generally can’t be in the form as long. Way Big is generally for him ONLY used in a last ditch effort.

Personality:

At his absolute worst, Ben can be considered overly cocky, constantly acts before thinking, stubborn, and if you ask his cousin Gwen, is probably very stupid. However Ben’s heart, bravery, and loyalty are second to very few. Ben generally prides himself on being a good friend to anyone willing to let him be. He has a deep fear of clowns that stems back to a stuffed clown toy named “Mr. Squishy” that kept giving him nightmares. Plus Ben above all other things loves smoothies, especially from Mr. Smoothy's, a small Northeastern chain, and pickles, with the brine and all.

Appearance:



Standing at 5’8 generally Ben has a pretty well kept body despite a… unique diet to say the least. He is athletically toned and generally when in his super hero work wears the clothes above. The coat, one he bought and detailed himself, has a light kevlar coating in it to dispense any impact on it, as well as sharp or small handgun sized blows.

Affiliation:

Gwen and Ken Tennyson - Cousins
Max Tennyson - Grandpa
The Plumbers - Allies

By the way why is Nightcrawler wearing a mask in that picture. His hardly that difficult to spot in a crowd with or without it....

The artist who drew the character was submitting for an amalgamation of dc/marvel Nightwing+Nightcrawler=Nightshadow. I think its one of those things that without the mask it looks too much like nightcrawlers costume so the iconic mask was added to balance the blend. Plus, if he gets an image inducer or the like, then it might be presumed that the blue is part of the costume. But yes, I agree the mask is silly. To quote from Green lantern [Carol Ferris: "You don't think I would recognize you because I can't see your cheekbones?"]

[clanjos]

Full name: Mobius
Brief Bio: In the distant Nebula M-87, known to its inhabitants as the Land of Light, there resides an enormous structure of crystal and alien metals. This is the Ultra Garrison, an ancient and eternal citadel that serves as the base of the Ultramen, a race of aliens distantly related to the Tokustar in the same way humans are related to bears.

The Ultra Garrison is a sort of precursor to the Green Lantern Corps, serving to protect the universe from tremendous threats- be they eldritch horrors, the tremendous wildlife of M-87, Trigonic Fiends, or Galactus himself. They have stood their vigil for as long as most civilizations can remember, led by the Father and Mother of Ultra.

Mobius is a recent recruit into the Space Rangers, the Ultra Garrison's field agents. He has floundered through basic training, but managed to pass. The Father of Ultra, however, decided that he is still lacking in certain qualities that anyone bearing the title of Ultraman must possess. In order to prove himself worthy of the Ultraman title, Mobius has been assigned to shadow Earth's young heroes and learn from their example.

Abilities:

Ultra Biology and Garrison Training

the Ultramen are a unique species, though similar to the Tokustar in many ways.
* Size- Being a young Ultra, Mobius is only about ten stories tall. However, using the Ultra Brace, he can change his size to a more average human height.
* Mobium Beam- Ultras, like the Tokustar, are capable of firing blasts of energy. The blast of an Ultra, however, throws in a sort of chemical chaff that varies in composition between individuals. Specifically, the "Mobium" in his blasts gives them a golden glow. Can also be used to form a shield.
* Hide- Ultras are from a planet with similarly sized wildlife that has sharp predatory instincts and horrific tempers. Because of this, they have developed thick, flexible hides that absorbs blows and negates a lot of damage.
* Telepathy- Ultras are natural telepaths, able to communicate with each other over interstellar distances. However, their telepathy is much less versatile on species with different neurochemistry, limiting it to creatures they know the location of.
* Atmosphere- Earth's atmosphere does not contain enough oxygen to support Ultras in their normal form. Because of this, Mobius can only stay in Ultra form on Earth for a few minutes at a time.
* Temperatures- Ultras are from a planet bombarded from all sides by light and cosmic rays, leaving it quite hot. Because of this, they are less affected by heat and fire, but sufficiently low temperatures can slow them down or send them into shock.
* Lifespan- Ultras have absurdly long lifespans, with the oldest members of their species recalling the formation of planets.

Equipment- the fruits of Ultra Science.

* Ultra Brace- A device given to all Space Rangers working for the Ultra Garrison, the Ultra Brace allows them to change into a member of a species suited to life on their assigned planet, as well as alter their size.
* Human Form- Mobius, through the Ultra Brace, can assume a human form. It's not based on any specific individual, but rather on a combination of facial features from humans that Ultras have dealt with over the years. Injuries sustained by one body will affect the other.

Personality: Ultras are allowed to choose their own soldier names- Mobius' friends Max and Galaxy named themselves for their potential and love of the stars respectively. Mobius chose his name because of the Mobius Strip. He's not quite sure why the strange shape appeals to him, but he finds it striking. As for behavior, Mobius is quite awkward. He's only been on Earth for a few days and is still getting the hang of the finer points of his human body's anatomy, and is honestly floored by human society and its lack of structure compared to the Ultra Garrison.

Appearance: Mobius's actual appearance, and his human form. The jacket is from a team of operatives called "GUTS" who have taken to supporting Ultraman Tiga. It's insulated for high-atmosphere travel, but Mobius seldom takes it off- Earth is freezing cold, after all.

Affiliations

Galaxy and Max- Mobius's friends and comrades. Went through basic training with him.
Ultraman Taro, Commanding officer and Mentor. In charge of training most new recruits, including Max, Galaxy, and Mobius.
Ultraman Tiga, Ultra assigned to Earth, mentor. The first Ultra to come to Earth over five thousand years ago, first sighted by humans when fighting Godzilla in New York.
The Father of Ultra- head of the Space Garrison, second most powerful of the Ultras. Has fought both Trigon and Galactus previously.
The Mother of Ultra- head of the Space Garrison's Silver Cross Science Corps, Father of Ultra's wife, third most powerful Ultra, and one of the most powerful healers in the universe.

Notes: Mebius was a Japanese approximation of Moebius, so yeah, ended up changing it to Mobius here.

Oh right um.

Full name: DLN-001 Rock Light

Alias: Mega Man

"Brief" Bio

Created by former military contractor Dr. Thomas Light for his Robot Master series as part of a pair of childlike robots designed to assist with domestic tasks and labwork, Rock was not originally meant to be the super fighting robot that he would eventually become. Unlike the other Robot Masters, Rock and Roll (named for Dr. Light's love of music) had no potential combat applications for their abilities, and thus they did not fall into the evil designs of their co-creator. Dr. Light's partner, a fellow roboticist named Dr. Albert Wily, had grown insanely jealous of the praise Dr. Light was recieving for the Robot Masters, praise that was not passed onto him; during their time as military contractors Wily had been fond dabbling in "unethical robotics experiments" of some kind, and thus his part in the Robot Master project was hushed down. Driven to the edge and wishing to show Light just who the real genius was, Wily reprogrammed the other six Robot Masters and attempted to use them in an insane attempt to at world conquest.

Unable to stand seeing his brothers used for such an unjust purpose, Rock begged Dr. Light to upgrade him for combat in order to save them and thwart Wily's evil schemes, and after some heavy thought and with much hesitation the good doctor finally agreed. With the upgrades complete, Rock was reborn as Mega Man, and with his new powers he defeated the rogue Robot Masters one by one before finally apprehending Wily. However, Wily soon broke out of captivity, aided by two experimental Robot Masters, and it wasn't long before Rock and the reprogrammed original six Robot Masters were able to defeat him again... But this time, Wily escaped, and set about building eight more Robot Masters with which to attempt his mad schemes at world domination and (more importantly) showing up Dr. Light once and for all. And again, Mega Man defeated him, leading him to run off into hiding once more.

But Dr. Wily wasn't the only one who was gunning for the Blue Bomber. Not long after defeating the mad scientist and gaining more and more acclaim as a hero, Rock accompanied Dr. Light to the Advanced Robotics Trade Show (ARTS) Convention, where the doctor was scheduled to take part in a debate about the future of robotics and artificial intelligence. Unfortunately for all involved, the ARTS Convention was targeted by the anti-robotics terrorist group known as the Emerald Spears, whose leader Xander Payne bore an insane grudge against all robots due to injuries sustained from Elec Man, one of the original six Robot Masters, during Wily's first attempt at supervillainy. With the help of Pharoah Man and Quake Woman, Robot Masters built by Dr. Light's old colleagues Dr. Cossack and Dr. Lalinde, Rock was able to disarm the bombs set by the Emerald Spears and ensure that all but Xander and a handful of other members of the Spears were arrested.

Now, Rock continues to fight for everlasting peace, even as the reknown of the Blue Bomber grows more and more. And somewhere, Dr. Wily is plotting another scheme and building more Robot Masters, and the day they face each other once more draws ever closer...

Abilities

As a robot, Rock is stronger than his appearance would suggest, possessing low levels of superhuman strength, and he does not tire out or get exhausted like humans do (he does, however, eventually run out of power and thus requires occassional E-Tanks to continue running). As he was created to assist Dr. Light in the lab, he is not only proficient in most household tasks but has at least a basic knowledge of science, especially robotics.

As Mega Man, his armour provides him with additional protection, as well as giving him access to his primary weapon, the Mega Buster. An energy cannon that can be formed from either of his hands, it fires bullets of highly compressed solar energy. By charging up the Mega Buster for a few seconds, Mega Man is able to fire out a larger, more powerful shot than normal. Despite technically being able to form it from both hands simultaneously, his body is not able to handle the strain of two Mega Busters at once, and thus in the event of him ever doing this it will lead to him being critically damage after the shot is fired. The Mega Buster has practically infinite charge, and will continue functioning as long as Rock has at least some battery life left.

His most notable ability, however, is the Variable Weapon System. Using this, he is able to "download" additional weapons from other robots. Usually this is limited to just the Robot Masters, although other sufficiently advanced robots (for example, the Vision or Red Tornado) could possibly work with it. The weapon varies depending on the traits of the robot he downloaded it from, but is always at least somewhat linked to their abilities. For example, copying the super strong construction robot Guts Man gives him the Super Arm, which vastly increases his strength, whilst copying the literally hotheaded waste management robot Fire Man gives him the burning Fire Storm weapon. Unlike the Mega Buster, each weapon he downloads has only a finite charge.

Personality: Due to being modeled after a child, Rock is generally innocent natured and energetic, possessing an inquisitive mind and a usually rather upbeat attitude. He possessed a strong sense of justice, and whilst he is generally pacifistic and dislikes violence he is more than willing to stand up for people in need even if he has to use force against force. Despite how advanced his AI is, Rock technically has no actually free will, and is ultimately bound to his programming. Most notably, he has Asimov's Three Laws coded into him, and is thus unable to bring a human to harm unless it is necessary to prevent other humans from coming to harm, and is incapable of intentionally attempting to kill humans. To him, the preservation of life is so important that he would even through himself into risk of critical damage in order to achieve it, and will not look kindly on those who treat do not respect the right to live. He is especially fond of his family, his "father" Dr. Light and his sister Roll, and will do whatever it takes to protect them from harm.

Appearance: Usually, Rock looks like just your average young boy, with messy brown hair and blue eyes. He's almost indistinguishable from a human, really; the only thing that really gives away his robotic nature are his feet, and those can easily be mistaken for unusual footwear. Whilst operating as the super fighting robot Mega Man, his armour consists of what looks like blue and cyan spandex, and a blue helmet. His primary weapon, the Mega Buster, can be generated from either of his hands.

Affiliations

Dr. Thomas Light: A world authority on robotics and artificial intelligence, and the genius scientist who built Rock and redesigned him into Mega Man. Rock and Dr. Light treat each other like father and son.

DLN-002 Roll Light: Rock's twin sister, like him she is a Robot Master designed for domestic tasks and labwork.

Dr. Light's Robot Masters: Cut Man, Guts Man, Bomb Man, Ice Man, Fire Man and Elec Man are all Robot Masters who were designed to perform various industrial or scientific purposes. Time Man and Oil Man were originally two experimental models. Despite all of them initially being reprogrammed by Dr. Wily to serve his evil purposes, once Mega Man defeated them they were restored to their original programming and functions, and occassionaly offer assistance to their brother when necessary.

Rush: Rock's robot dog, who sometimes assists him in the fight for everlasting peace.

Dr. Albert Wily: A former partner of Dr. Light, driven into supervillainy by an obsession to prove he possesses the superior intellect of the two. He serves as Mega Man's archnemesis, building his own evil Robot Masters to fight the Blue Bomber. Despite his rivalry with Dr. Light, he still respects his own partner; notably, he does not wish to see him dead, with the excuse that if he's dead he can't exactly gloat once he inevitably gets the better of him.

Wily's Robot Masters: Unlike the original set of Robot Masters, Metal Man, Air Man, Bubble Man, Quick Man, Crash Man, Flash Man, Heat Man and Wood Man were all designed primarily for combat; specifically, in an attempt to take down Mega Man, who Wily saw as the only obstacle between his plans to conquer the world and then rub it in Dr. Light's face.

DLN-000 Blues: Rock's older brother of sorts, the first Robot Master, created whilst Dr's Light and Wily were still military contractors. Rock has never met him, as Blues ran away from Light Labs for complicated reasons. He possesses an unstable power core, and Dr. Light sadly (yet incorrectly) believes that he has most likely ran out of power and deactivated by now.

Federal Agents Gilbert D. Stern and Roslyn Krantz: Two police officers who Rock first encountered shortly before Wily escaped from his first capture with the help of Time Man and Oil Man. Stern is your typical grizzled, cynical old cop, and possesses a distrust for modern technology, whilst Krantz is his younger, more idealistic and friendly partner.

LMN-001 Tempo ("Quake Woman"): The Robot Master creation of Dr. Lalinde, an old colleague of Dr. Light, and a good friend of Rock and Roll. Roll thinks that Tempo and Rock would make a cute couple, but the two would much rather prefer to just be friends.

Emerald Spears: An anti-robot terrorist group lead by Xander Payne, an ex-military recruit who lost an eye to Elec Man during Wily's initial attempt at world domination, leading him to develop an insane hatred of robots. They believe that technology (especially robotics and artificial intelligence) is advancing too quickly for humanity to keep up with it and, whilst they don't all share such extreme views as their leader, generally believe that anyone who is not with them is against them and thus feel little guilt for any civilian casualties that result from their activities.

Notes: I'm going to be playing Rock as though the Ra Moon arc has yet to happen, mostly because a worldwide shutdown of all electronics would not only be a really major event but would probably inadvertantly kill off several important background characters such as Tony Stark.

Also if I remember right that was part of the reason why Clanjos decided to use an Ultraman. XD

...Good that we have at least one girl on the team now, too, especially one as awesome as Nanoha.

Mainly to demonstrate what a twelve-year-old Iron Fist would wind up being.

Full name: Daniel "Danny" Rand-K'ai

Alias: The Immortal Iron Fist

Brief Bio:

Daniel Rand is the son of billionaire Wendell Rand-K'ai and his wife Heather Duncan-Rand. When Danny was only two years old he was taken on a trip with his parents to China. While mid-flight to their destination, something went terribly wrong with the Rands' plane, and as a result they crashed deep in the K'un-Lun mountains. Danny and his mother survived the crash, but were left wandering desperately in the freezing cold of the mountain range. Through either fate or sheer luck, Miranda and her son stumbled upon the eternal city of K'un-Lun during the rare period every ten years when it intersects with the mortal plane. Miranda was able to beg the Immortals that ruled over the city to take care of Danny before succumbing to exhaustion and hypothermia, and in respect for the woman's dying wish and the child's pitiful state they agreed.

Danny grew up among the Immortals of Kun-Lun, raised by the martial arts master Lei Kung the Thunderer, who tutored him in martial arts from almost the first day of his arrival. He tried his best to be happy, but isolation and bullying due to status as an outsider haunted him constantly. As a result Danny drove himself to excel in every way he could in order to prove the children of the Eternal City wrong. He would be the greatest warrior in K'un-Lun and protect everyone, he thought that at least would earn their respect.

This desire for recognition eventually led to a fateful decision. For all of his life in K'un-Lun, Danny had heard tales of the Dragon Shou-Lao the Undying who guarded his own blazing heart, and who was roused in times of need to defend the city. Even more glorious was the legend that whoever defeated the Dragon would be declared The Immortal Iron Fist, greatest warrior in all of K'un-Lun and master of great and mythical powers. Danny knew that if only he could prove himself to be the Iron Fist, others in K'un-Lun would finally accept him. He trained hard and diligently towards that goal, but impatience and pain burned in him, and nearly ten years to the day of his arrival as an infant, Danny hatched a clever scheme. He snuck out in the dark of night to the cave of Shou-Lao and crept up on the sleeping dragon, then attacked the great beast in its' sleep, grappling with it to cover the scar on its' hide through which legends said its' heart's chi kept it alive.

The dragon woke startled but already weakened, and despite its flailing attacks and the searing agony that burned forth from its scar Danny was able to hold on until its' life ran out. Then, Danny plunged his fists into Shou-Lao's molten heart again and again until his fists were infused by the unconscious dragon's Chi. Thus twelve-year-old Daniel Rand-Kai achieved through guile what he never could have through strength. When the lords of K'un-Lun found out what had happened they were furious beyond belief. Their guardian was dead and would take years to properly reincarnate, and the gift of its' power was in the hands of a boy who, regardless of his vast skill, was still an immature child.

At this point Yu-Ti, the August Personage in Jade, spoke out. According to him while it was true that Daniel was perhaps not ready for the Iron Fist, he had been able to withstand the heat of Shou-Lao's scar, something only a true heir to the title should be able to do. Besides which, as things stood the city had no guardian with Shou-Lao temporarily gone. With these things in mind it Yu-Ti and the Dragon Kings decided to give young Danny the title of Iron Fist. But as a lesson in humility, he was denied immortality and banished to Earth until such time as he proved himself truly worthy of the title and power bestowed on him.

Abilities:

Martial Arts: First and foremost, even for a twelve-year-old child Danny is still an incredibly skilled martial artist, having been trained by an immortal master of numerous martial arts of both K'un-Lun and Earth. While not yet a true master and a far cry from the level of skill that a true Iron Fist should possess, he is still highly skilled in all of K'un-Lun's martial arts and many of Earth's including Karate, Northern and Southern Shaolin styles of Kung Fu, Ninjutsu, Aikido, Jujitsu, and Karate. He is also skilled at using traditional martial arts weaponry of those styles.

Iron Fist Danny is able to perform the signature ability of the Immortal Iron Fist, focusing the Chi of Shou-Lao into his hand to make it temporarily invulnerable and capable of striking with massive concussive force. The Iron Fist can easily shatter stone and smash through steel and strikes opponents with superhuman force. The Chi of Shou Lao can also be focused through the Iron Fist for healing purposes whether to heal Danny or others, though this is not something that can generally be used in combat and it greatly tires Danny.

The Chi of Shou-Lao: Apart from just the Iron Fist, Danny's connection with the chi of the dragon Shou-Lao should allow him to achieve much greater feats, including temporarily giving him superhuman physical strength, speed, reflexes, senses, agility and durability, empowering weapons and projectiles with the fiery aspect of the Chi of Shou-Lao, and even stranger feats like manipulating different kinds of energy fields and weak telepathic abilities. As of yet Danny has learned none of these abilities.

Gymnastic ability : While not nearly the best around young Danny's training in K'un-Lun has made him an excellent acrobat and gymnast.

Bodily Control: As someone trained in the martial arts of K'un Lun Danny is capable of feats of mind-over-body including temporarily deadening his sense of pain and ignoring fatigue and exhaustion as well as slowing his breathing and heart-rate down to a fraction of average.

Near-Peak Physical Abilities: Due to his training in K'un-Lun Danny has nearly peak physical ability for a human twelve-year-old.

Some knowledge of magic: As part of his tutoring in K'un-Lun Danny has a very basic knowledge of, but absolutely no talent or ability for, magic.

Personality: Previously driven to succeed and prove himself beyond anything else, Danny's banishment from K'un-Lun has caused him to question himself and his abilities, and he's currently rather lost and confused. He desperately wants to earn the mantle of Iron Fist the right way and is somewhat ashamed of how he came by his powers, questioning if he's worthy of them. Although he might not admit it, he wants to make real friends and feel like he belongs equally desperately, a task made all the harder by the fact that he's almost completely unfamiliar with modern life on Earth. He still enjoys a good fight, but more in the hope of testing himself against others in a friendly manner than proving he's a superior martial artist. His banishment due to tricking his way into the title of Iron Fist has caused him to snap back into a rigid sense of honor and playing by the rules as well.

Appearance:

Keep in mind he has no knowledge of Earth's fashion. Also the eyes aren't red. Outside of costume Danny is a blond-haired blue eyed kid with short blond hair slightly on the short side. The Mark of Shou-Lao known as the Heart of the Dragon is burned into his chest, marking him as Iron Fist.

In-Costume Danny wears a variant of the traditional Green, Yellow and Black outfit of the Iron Fist.

Affiliations: Teen Titans, potentially Rand Inc.

Notes: Danny doesn't have anyone from K'un-lun listed under affiliations since he's currently banished until he proves himself worthy of truly being Iron Fist.

Only like 20% of it! I also really like Ultraman Mebius as a series. And maybe giggled at the idea of arm wrestling Ant Man for charity.
