Your Name: The Kid Lantern
Character Name: Fred L.
Character Alias: Fredzilla, will come up with a better codename eventually
Character Allignment: Neutral Good
Character Appearance:
Fred is a lean muscular young man with longish light brown hair and green eyes. He stands around six feet tall and is always seen wearing his toboggan caps. When on missions he wears a battle suit of red scales and black. When in kaiju form he stands between 100-175 feet tall but often leans down. His kaiju form resembles a red version of the Godzilla remake...
Characters Abilities: Fred has the ability to tap into the power of a giant red kaiju for enhanced strength, enhanced durability, and fire breath. He's also resistant to fire. The longer Fred taps into the power the more he begins to look like a reptile and begins showing scales, teeth, and the ridged body parts [mainly his forearms], however it isn't long after he actually becomes a giant kaiju if the need arises.
At regular human size Fred can tap into about a quarter of the kaiju's power. His strength gives him the ability to lift roughly 10,000 pounds [this weight is right around the weight of a 40' cargo container as well as a monster truck]. His durability at this size protects him from heavy fire arms, and he can even survive dropping out of a helicopter.
In kaiju form his strength level goes up with his size but still nowhere near the untapped limits of strength his comic counterpart shows. The monster's max lift here would be roughly 40,000 pounds [around the weight of a mobile home or a loaded greyhound bus]. His durability is mostly still the same however now explosives do less damage than before.
The fire breath and resistance to fire remains the same, just in kaiju form a fire breath would be much larger.
Character Weaknesses: Fred as well as the kaiju can both still be effected by flash grenades, sonics, energy/electrical attacks not including fire, mental attacks, as well as superior strength. This guy could probably take two or three Sentinels on in kaiju form, but four or more would neutralize the beast. He's also able to get sick just like anybody, and gas based grenades and attacks would also effect him the same.
Characters Skills: Fred likes to quote old action movies, and is a movie buff. He also comes from a rich family so he has access to many things others normally wouldn't have access to like private planes.
Origin Story: 🐲 🐲 🐲 🐲 Early Life
Fred's father was a scientist who earned his fortune reverse engineering technology from other worlds for the United States Army over the last several decades. For a time in the mid 90's he would work at trying to reproduce the Abraham Erskine Super-Soldier Serum used in creating Captain America. When the scientist thought he cracked the formula in '98 after the birth of his son months earlier, the US Army was quick to find a candidate.The formula used on Corporal Todd Ziller used a combination of mutant growth hormones, gamma enhancements, and other questionable technology. With his wife and infant son Fred at what was supposed to be the birth of the next Captain America, tragedy struck and what emerged from the transformation process was something of a monster not unlike Godzilla. The military seemingly took the beast down but not before it caused the deaths of several soldiers as well as Fred's mother. Nobody seemed to notice a drop of the creature's blood dripped in the young child's mouth.
After a troubled upbringing without his mother, all the money in the world couldn't have made Fred any less of a slacker and the complete opposite of his brilliant father while living life in Greenwich Village in lower Manhattan. He was an average student all the way through high school and insisted after the 6th grade his father put him in public school. He read a lot of comics and science fiction magazines, loved watching the Discovery Channel and the shows about aliens, ancient civilizations, and monsters. He was also a big fan of action films and anything with Godzilla. Without much effort and getting closer to his high school graduation Fred got into incredible shape and just chalked it up to being mellow and easy going.

Shortly after graduating, Fred got his own apartment in Brooklyn. Living in the Sheepshead Bay area by the ocean near the community college, Fred continued to live a life without want until noticing scales coming up on his skin off and on for several days. He discovered his strength when rearranging his apartment and lifting his fridge by accident with one hand. His fire breath came sometime after when he was in his marjuana phase and early on he thought he was just tripping out. That was until he caused fire damage to three floors of his apartment complex. After several hundreds of thousands of dollars went into the reconstruction Fred realized what he thought was his destiny: becoming a superhero.
When a strange creature came up from the ground splitting concrete and asphault and putting evening traffic to a halt, Fred went into action in a sleeveless hoodie throwing heavy debris at the creature in an attempt to knock it out. More and more scales came up on Fred's bare arms and he noticed other things happening to his skin and muscles as well as his teeth. The fire would eventually ignite within him and a large red kaiju like creature emerged where the teen millionaire once stood. The young would be hero defeated the monster, but not before the military caught wind of what had happened.
Believing Todd Ziller's body had somehow been reanimated, the US Army reached out to Fred's father who was already putting the pieces together. After Fred went into hiding for several weeks staying with ex girlfriends and stoner friends from school, his father and the military came for him.
🐲 🐲 🐲 🐲 2016 - Big Hero
After training with the US military for a couple years in both the United States and Japan, Fred was finally given some downtime and moved back to his apartment in Brooklyn. He was a little quieter, still funny when he felt the need, and still very much a slacker. He longed for the days of being a real superhero, having his own arch enemies, and a secret HQ... but for now he had to make due with being an agent on call for the US Military. He was a bit bummed he wasn't in town to help fight against Galactus, but hopes one day to tussle with the likes of Goliath should he ever escape custody or an off the grid Sentinel. Fred also applied and was accepted to the Kingsborough Community College across the Bay where he's majoring in English as well as acting as the school mascot. Fred has also taken to doing as much charity work as he can squeeze in volunteering at the Salvation Army as well as other projects.
"It's called recycling. One pair lasts me four days. I go front, I go back, I go inside out, then I go front and back."
