I think I and a few others are too old for this 'Jonas Brothers' phase.

@Lord Wraith

I was there for the Hansen brothers. Those were the cool boy band when I was growing up.

[Heathen]

Jonas Brothers were good, I give them that. But they were only formed so zaddy Nick Jonas can be where he is today. He was the Beyonce of the group.

@Blue Demon

See here's someone from my generation. Although I prefer to ignore the boy bands and pop princess of the nineties. Give me that dirty dirty grunge all day any day.

I've never felt so young at 20. I remember listening to it in middle school.

@King Kindred

@Lord Wraith

My dad listened to Hair Bands (Metallica, ACDC) and my mom was Pop bands (Beatles, Beach Boys)

I tend to listen to AWOLNATION and George Ezra.

SAIL!

Yeah... Styx did it better lol

[Avanhelsing]

I listen to classical music! Movie soundtracks and the like. Yes I know I'm a mutant.

[Blue Demon]

@Lord WraithThose are like, two different genre's. There's really no comparing them.

Anyways Muse is far better than Styx.

@Blue Demon

I honestly like them all anyways, I just like to poke fun at similar themes.

[Tyler]

Kate Bush.

[Shin Ghost Note]

My musical tastes go far and wide. I love Rap, Rock, Techno, yadda yadda yadda. Like the indie stuff, tho. Way more soul.



My song of the moment.

[Hillan]

Jonas Brothers were good, I give them that. But they were only formed so zaddy Nick Jonas can be where he is today. He was the Beyonce of the group.

@Heathen

There really is no denying that this song is good.

In terms of music, I really listen to everything there is. Not a huge fan of Opera or screamo, though. Have a hard time understanding what they're singing.

@Hillan

The only time Opera and Screamo will ever be put together.

@Lord Wraith

I'm no expert, but I've been told that the two aren't that different from each other in a 'how to do it' kind of way.
Well, Growling and singing Opera, rather.

[Heathen]

My music taste is very broad. I like anything that isn't country. Unless it's pop country like some Carrie Underwood songs or Taylor Swift pre-1989. I don't like the girl but her songs can get stuck in anyone's head.

Mars Balboa

| ALIAS: |

Alpha

| AGE: |

16

| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |

Alpha Zone: Mars is able to tap into a strange cosmic energy source known as the Alpha Zone, which grants him several abilities.

Alpha Body: His body is surrounded by a field of glowing red kinetic energy that increases his durability so he can take hits from opponents with super strength. Basically it grants him superhuman endurance and he can take a lot of punishment because of it. The amount of punishment he can withstand is like getting the crap beaten out of him by a superhuman with the strnegth to bend steel. It doesn't make him invincible and it will still hurt like hell, but it's his will that helps keep him going.

Alpha Fist: By channeling the Alpha Zone into into his fist he is able to create a blast of kinetic and concussive energy that makes his punches have more powerful and destructive impacts. With this power his fist can be powerful enough to punch through steel and blast apart concrete. It is not superhuman strnegth, but it imitates it in a way that has more destructive potential.

Alpha Speed: Mars is able have a big increase in speed and agility through the use of increasing his kinetic energy. His movement speed is around 200 MPH, but his max striking speed is mach 1.5.

Alpha Impact: This ability lets him use the Alpha Zone to hit opponents with his body with an incredible amount of force and smash through brick at maximum power. His main use of this for tackling and it works really well when a criminal tries to run.

Skills:
Super Athletic
Excellent Boxer
Awesome football player

Equipment: Aside from his boxing gloves he has no other equipment

| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |

The Alpha Zone while strong is not perfect and will run out of energy if used too carelessly. Also Mars is has no range attacks, which makes him vulnerable to distance fighters.

| SAMPLE POST: |

Mars and the rest of the defense members of his football team were huddled together getting ready for the start of the second half of the game. His school was up against their rival Kingsly High, and this was the championship game. For the first two quarters the teams were neck and neck, one being able to hold of the other from taking the lead. The defenses were pretty evenly matched and so were the offenses, but with this second half it was time for them to kick into overdrive and clench a victory over their opponents.

"Remember! We got each other backs! From the last quarter! To the last minute! To the last man! We fight! We fight!!!" he shouted and they shouted along with him, getting pumped up for the start of the second half. It wasn't too long after that the refs gave the signal to start the second half and it would be Kingsly's ball. The punting team took the field and Mars was among the blockers ready to intercept the kick returner when he caught the ball.

Their punter took several steps back and ran into the punt the football. The ball sailed for many yards before landing in between the 1 and 10 yard line. By that time Mars and the rest of defense were on the move to intercept kick returner. Mars saw the runner headed his way and he acted upon instincts. He charged forward and met the player for a big impact. His opponent was knocked off his feet and hit the ground rather hard. It was good thing that football players used padding otherwise their injuries would be far more severe.

The refs blew the whistle to stop the play and the kick return team left the field for the offense to come onto the field. Mars took his position as Middle Linebacker and waited for the for snap. He word 'hike' and the line of scrimmage exploded with motion as the defensive linemen met head on with the offensive linemen. Mars' keen eyes spotted the Quarterback hand the ball off to the Running Back and try to break through the line of scrimmage. Mars moved in quickly and tackled the Running Back, taking the player hard into the ground.

He got up and helped the Running Back to his feet when the refs blew the whistle for the play to stop. His fellow defensive players gave him pats on the back as he had managed to only give Kingsly High a gain of two yards. And for the rest of the fourth quarter their defense never let up and the offense managed to put more points up on the board giving them victory. His team was in huge celebration and many viewed him as the hero of the defense, but Mars knew that it was team sport.

That game got them a lot of hot girls and they became the envy of many nerds at their school. This had happened months before his encounter with a strange meteor that had crashed not too far from his house glowing a red color and gave off weird radiation. That incident changed his life and saw him attaining superhuman abilities that benefited his talent for boxing and football. About a year after these powers got him the attention of the staff at The Corrigan School for Advanced Learning and Development.

Mars was reluctant to leave his school and friends as well as his team, but his parents thought that it would be best to learn how to control his powers first and Mars reluctantly agreed to go the school and his first year wasn't too bad, he got into a couple of near fights and some students pissed him off, but nothing too bad. He was going to train as hard as ever to keep up his boxing and maintain his football skills.

| NOTES: |

Likes: Boxing, Football, video games, cheeseburgers, fries, soda and athletics.

Dislike: most academics, math, veggies, thugs, punks and wimps. He also hates the Metropolis Meteors and the San Francisco 49ers.
