Amalgam - Hour of X

Marauder

DC/Marvel Characters Used: Rogue and Ravager

Name: Anna-Marie Wilson

Alias: Marauder

Age: 21

Powers: Upon physical contact, Marauder steals the life force of anybody she touches. This severely weakens them, reduces the effectiveness of their own powers and weakens any invulnerabilities their power gives them. Marauder then temporarly possesses the powers of those she touched. This also copies emotions and memories, but for an even shorter timeframe.

She will eventually lose the newfound powers, memories and emotions as her victim recovers, with one exception; her father. Marauder permentantly has the powerset of Terminator; increased reflexes, stamina, agility, speed, strength and heightened mental acuity.

Weaknesses: Having the powerset of her father at all times also results in his emotions and memories being tangled with her own, resulting in occasional bouts of psychosis.

Borrowed powers only last ten minutes at most, and borrowed memories only last one minute.

Team Affiliation: Titan X formerly the Brotherhood

Personality: Passionate, Emotional, Rebellious, Affectionate, Impulsive

Appearance:


BRIEF Bio: Anna-Marie grew up in Mississipi, raised for the first few years of her life by her Cambodian mother. One day, when Anna-Marie was only four years old, her mother disappeared and she was discovered by neighbors. She was promptly put up for adoption and lived with the Wilson family. She grew up a troubled child who constantly butted heads with her strict mother and her distant father.

When she was only ten years old, she ran away from home and lived from City to City as a homeless runaway. She acquired the money and food she needed by pickpocketing and shoplifting. With no clues on the location of her mother, she nevertheless managed to track down her biological father, Slade Castle, who forbade her from following him as he wouldn't be able to take care of her. Hurt and dejected, Anna-Marie fell into young and angry, anarchic crowds.

It was in one of these gangs that she had her first boyfriend. But when they finally had their first kiss. Her boyfriend was put into a coma. It was then she discovered that she had just awakened a mutant ability that steals the life force of others. This quickly attracted the attention of the mutant Lady Mystique, who took the young confused mutant under her wing and trained her in martial arts.

With the new alias, 'Marauder', Anna-Marie was an active member of the Brotherhood of Mutants and helped execute many of their plans. Shequickly discovered that her touch didn't just steal life force, but also the powers of others, letting her temporarily use them as her own. It was not long in this life of terrorist activism that she crossed paths with her father, this time as foes. Something strange happened when she used her power on him; Her newly acquired powers of enhanced speed, strength, stamina and reflexes, did not go away. No matter how much time passed. It must be because they were related.

She naturally clashed with Titan X many times over the years but when she was twenty years old, she was finally captured. At first she was a prisoner, but an unintended sude effect of perminantly having her father's powers was that she would frequently have bouts of psychosis where his memories and personality would blur with hers. She begged Scott Grayson for help, and from there began her slow rehabilitation. She is still not quite trusted enough to be an active member of Titan X but it was quickly shown that she was a compassionate person with a strong sense of justice who wanted to help people. She was just angry and misguided.

Supporting cast/characters: Terminator (Punisher + Deathstroke), Lady Mystique (Lady Shiva + Mystique)

Amalgam Universe Notes: Anna-Marie also speaks Khmer and French in addition to English.

Madison was stationed at the entrance to the convention in plain clothes, taking note of everybody coming in or out of the convention center. Nobody fit the profile of those five pictures she saw. She heard the gunshot. Despite the distance from the entrance to the back of the parade, she could still hear the shot, which was quickly followed by the sounds of screaming. She took a look over at the stage. Powers seemed calm, so there was no reason to panic yet. But then she saw them. Robots, and a lot of them. Some were crawling along the ground like spiders. Others were flying. But they all had guns. Madison raised her watch to her mouth, and set the frequency to the 'Proximity-All' setting, which should allow it to get through to any Heroes inside the convention hall who were actually wearing watches.

"Attention, any Heroes inside the Johnstone Convention center. Robots incoming. Front doors. They're armed. Prepare to defend civilians and evacuate them to the fire escape."

Her safety net hopefully assured, Madison stretched out her arm, creating a steel wire barrier across the doors. This was unfortunately poorly planned out, as the flying robots flew over it and the spiders crawled lower under it, and bust through the doors. Damn it. This situation was too chaotic and changing too fast for Madison. She was used to saving single civilians, or search and rescue. She was usually on the scene after the bedlam was all over. Was this what the famous Heroes had to deal with all the time?! This stress and pressure?

She grit her teeth, and wrapped her steel wire around one of the flying robots, swinging it into another one. Both crumpled and went down. Huh? That felt a little too easy. Robots sent to attack a building fullof Heroes should surely be more advanced and armored than that, right? Suddenly her watch beeped to life again, and she heard Oracle's voice come through.

“Attention heroes, The primary target is not Hero Day events! It’s Hero One!”

So that's why the robots were so flimsy! This was a timewasting diversion designed to keep all the Heroes away from Hero One! Madison shot out her arm to grab a spider robot by one of its wierd legs, but suddenly the turreted gun on this back swivelled to her and open fire. She turned the front of her body into coiled wire as the bullets bounced off, but it still stung. wireframe let go and was being pushed backwards.

"Oh, so 'Oracle' is the hero name you decided to go with, huh? I like it! It's a cool name!" Replied Madison, taking another bite of her hot dog. She swallowed, then looks from Wiseman back to Oracle. "I don't think it'll be anything with too much pressure. It did seem urgent but he asked for anybody who was free, rather than requesting any of the experienced Heroes inside the convention specifically come help him. If he called us for something we absolutely cannot mess up, he sure went about it in a rather wierd way."

It was then that Oracle introduced the two of them to the mythical 'Jareth' she'd always talked about at the Academy. Or, she supposed, 'Terraformer'. Also a cool hero name. She shook his hand when offered, and was about to retort something playful like 'Oh? What did she say?' when she noticed Powers approaching in a suit and went silent as he stole her attention.

He threw a broken robot to the floor and explained the reason they'd been summoned. An espionage drone had been tailing Powers. There was a strong possibility somebody was planning something at the speech. They were here as additional security, to make sure nobody wil ill intent caused an incident or put people in danger. Powers initially suggested that due to her high mobility, to search from high. Madison had not brought her hero costume to change into. She didn't think she'd need it. She began thinking about how she'd go about doing that while at the same time listening to everybody else's input.

Wiseman, by analysing the drone, identified that the villians who were behind tailing Powers with the drone were the Fiendish Five. Madison had heard of them. They executed their plans together so this was unlikely to be Gholem working solo. She viewed the ICOSA files that had just appeared on her watch. What she was most focused on where their faces, and their powers. Holiday was a sniper and Jellyfish travelled by water, and the drones had hitherto only been observing Powers, lacking the ability to be a credible threat directly. If any of them were going to try to enter the convention directly to cause trouble up close, it would be Albino or Lady Blade.

Amuné used her own powers to tell them all something more alarming. The five were on the move. They were not afforded the luxury of prep time. There was yet more strategizing which was going over Madison's head. She was typically an incident responder, and didn't have much experience fighting villains directly. The others were either much more seasoned Heroes, or had abilities that helped them to contribute. Madison listened with a troubled expression on her face as she finished eating the hot dog. That's when Ardent said something to her. He said she blended in really well. Immediately, Madison knew how she could help out the best way.

"It would be really easy for somebody to sneak into the convention hall undetected today of all days if they wanted to. There aren't any drones around us right now so none of them will assume I'm a Hero, looking and dressing like this. I'll stay on the ground, station myself around the entrace and will discreetly alert you all if I spot anyone before trying to keep them busy."

Pia listened to the old man. Just more questions. No matter where they went, wjo they met or what they heard. It was just more questions. Pia wasn't confused by the old man's fear. Maybe it was better she kept moving qithout a break. The adreneline was keeping her moving forward. Keeping her focused and sane. She *wanted* to be allowed the luxury to snap. But she knew that would be the end. This man was a cautionary tale for what could happen to any of them if they stopped for long enough to allow themselves enough time to think.

The scientists were angry with them before they lost their memories, and now they're pleased. Pia assumed because of the abilities that had awakened. That was the difference she could think of. Were the scientists the ones responsible for the memory loss in the first place? For putting them in the pods? And was the old men like them? An experiment with his memories erased. His words regarding the haunting memories struck a chord with Pia.

"And, do you know what they did to us?" Pia added to A's questions.

Today was a fun day, and Madison had been glad to have the day off to enjoy the festivities. She'd seen the parade start and she'd followed it part of the way, but there was only so much fun to be had at the parade once the novelty had worn off, so she then entered the convention proper. Madison was in a long-sleeved t-shirt, a skirt, leggings and boots, and was wearing her hair in a ponytailand underneath a baseball cap. Her nails were also painted dark cherry red, and her accent was immediately identifiable as Californian. It was no surprise that she wasn't being recognisedas a Hero, even in the company of hardcore hero fans. After all, Wireframe was a hero who's athletic build, muscular arms and toned abdomen were constantly on display. She wore a mask, had long, flowing blonde hair and drove a motorbike. Even if Madison told people her identity, a good percentage of them wouldn't even believe her. She'd even seen a stall selling homemade merch of Wireframe among others, and even the vendor of that stall didn't recognise her. She was glad. She'd always stived to keep both lives separate so she could live an ordinary life out in public.

She had a fun morning visiting stalls, buying merch (including said Wireframe merch) and talking to Heros she looked up to at their own booths. She collected autographs of more than one of her childhood heroes. Today was truly the highlight of her month. As it approached lunchtime. She joined the queue for the food vendors, with a coffee in hand. She waited almost half an hourin the queue and was glad to have gotten here early as the queue behind her was getting even larger. When she was the third in line, her watch beeped, and she flicked her wrist to see the face as it buzzed to life.

"Attention, heroes. I need a group of you to assist me at the Johnstone Convention Center. If you are available, please come and meet behind the stage. You will be rewarded for your time."

Madison was never one to turn down requests.Even after one year in service, she was still a small-time Hero. She had a humble fanbase but rarely made the news, as she was more the type to assist in saving people from danger and general public assistance, than the exciting strong Heroes who beat up the bad guys and saved the day. Still, she was hungry, and almost ready to be served at the food vendor, so she didn't head straight to the stage.

By the time Madison arrived at the stage, three quarters of a hot dog in her hand, four other eager volunteers had already managed beat her there. She heard the tale end of the conversation. They were wondering why they'd been summoned. Madison wasn't sweating the details. She trusted that Hugo Powers wouldn't make them do something too unreasonable, if he hadn't hand-picked the Heroes. This wasn't a mission, just a favor. She recognised Blast, and she recognised the one in costume as the vigilante who'd joined H.E.R.O. recently. She also recognised another of the group.

"Amuné!" The new arrival exclaimed, beaming wide as she raised both hands in the air, keeping a gripof the hot dog. She could not look or sound more like a Valley girl if she tried. "It's been forever! How have you been?"

@Omega Man

Lady Mystique won't be Marauder's family but both Rogue and Ravager started out as villains, and Rogue was a villain under Mystique. It could also be who taught her how to fight
