Captain America Applicants should give an interesting and detailed bio on this icon.
Donald Blake/Thor: Blake was a gifted physicist, especially in the realms of ion energy. He was also in Norse mythology, his ethnic roots, to the point of obsession. Blake had come up with a powerful ion energy projector meant to simulate lightning storms, and possibly even cause storms in areas afflicted by drought. During one of it’s final test runs, the device malfunctioned. Blake, fearing, the malfunction could cause a huge explosion ran out from behind the safety area and tried to stop the device. Blake was inundated by ionic radiation. The result was that Donald Blake became very powerful and insane. He believes himself to be the God, Thor, and has the power to back it up. Using the remnants of the device, a sort of club-shaped object, he forged it into Mjolnir, his ‘magical’ hammer. As Thor, he took over a small, floating fortress that had been developed using Blake’s progress with ion technology. He has re-named the fortress Asgard Hall.
Blake was already an impressive 7’ feet tall, blonde, and bearded. Now he was full of several extra lbs of rippling muscle as well. Thor has enhanched strength, speed, and near invulnerability. Through his hammer, he can control storms and channel electricity, usually in the form of lightning, it also grants him the ability to fly. Blake has extensive experience with viking weaponry and warfare. He also tends to speak with Thous and Thys.
Brenda, “Brunnhilde” Blake/Valkyrie: She is the younger sister of Donald Blake/Thor. She was very interested in her brother’s work as a physicist. She was interested in the aspects of making herself have super powers with his research. This was especially the case after her brother was transformed into Thor. She worshiped heroes and wanted to become one herself. During an experiment, she used her brother’s old keycard and some contacts within the facility and managed to expose herself to the same kind of ion energy Donald Blake had been exposed to. However, she was a mutant. It gave her an odd power to see and “hold” dying/dead people’s souls or essences. She fashioned a sword that focuses her ion energy from a prototypical wing on a scale model. The blade is the wing and the handle is the energy focuser/engine. She calls the sword Dragon Fang. She later found a crystal that was meant to allow people, especially, telepaths to put their essences or their astral forms into a paradise-like environment, named Valhalla. She now uses this Crystal of Souls to store essences of those that have died that she deems heroic.
Valkyrie is very strong; her tissue and bone are several times as dense as the average human. This makes her have enhanced strength and durability. Though she is not immortal, she ages far more slowly than most humans. Valkyrie is immune to all terrestrial diseases and is resistant to most forms of injury. Her enhanced mutant physiology grants her superhuman levels of stamina. Valkyrie can perceive the approach of death, in the form of a "deathglow" surrounding a person's body. She doesn't know how death will come but she can tell that it is imminent. Valkyrie can transport herself and a dying or dead person’s essence to and from the realm of the Crystal of Souls. Valkyrie has had extensive training in sword fighting as well as unarmed combat and horseback riding. Using her feminine wiles, she also managed to steal a prototype of a white (ion energy) flying machine that resembles a motorcycle. She has dubbed it Aragorn.
She is only 19 yrs old. Amazonian-like build and stature, she is nearly 6’tall. Blonde hair. Valkyrie1Valkyrie 2
Tony Stark/Iron Man:
A Howard Hughes sort of character, a brilliant inventor, adventurer, multi-millionaire, and ladies man. He was rich and successful at a young age. He was especially good at designing ang building weapons for the U.S. Unfortunately, Tony realized at the age of 21 that he had a heart defect that could not be solved by normal modern medicine and that he suffered from a neural disease that affects his nervous system. He managed to come up with an exoskeleton suit that slows and repairs the damage to his neural tissue. A green 'goo' also protects his skin and gives his tissue nourishment while wearing the suit. He also incorporated an energy-device that allows his heart to work better than ever while he is wearing the suit. He must periodically wear the suit to prevent cardiac or neural failure. As he wore the suit, he realized that through the cybernetic links in his chest and at the base of his skull, he could control machines connected to the suit. To this end, he began working on a variety of suits that were armored and infused with weapon systems. Thus, the Iron Man armor was born. He originally meant to use this as a means to make money with military contracts.
However, the threat of the Mandarin changed that. He used the Iron Man armor to stop the Mandarin from sabotaging and taking over Stark Enterprises. Eventually, the Mandarin retaliated by murdering Tony's parents. This is what started Tony down the path of alcoholism.
Tony joined the the government because S.H.I.E.L.D. had bought controlling shares in Stark Enterprises and would only relinquish control if he used his armor to join them. Stark also gained security clearance to view many government projects as well as exclusive building/weapons/technology/etc contracts with the U.S. And, perhaps, most importantly, to get revenge for the murder of his parents.
He can be arrogant, but is a genius. He can be cruel or compassionate. He is an alcoholic. He is a bit independent despite being on the team.
Powers: Iron Man possesses powered armor that gives him superhuman strength and durability, flight, and an array of weapons. Iron Man's appearance and abilities are continually in flux as Stark modifies and upgrades his equipment. Iron Man's powers and abilities derive from the advanced powered armor that he wears. The armor has evolved from a bulky iron suit to a molecularly aligned matrix of crystallized iron enhanced by magnetic fields over layers of other metals like titanium, creating a shell that is pliable, yet capable of great resilience and protection. The suit grants him superhuman strength and flight capabilities, and is powered by a combination of solar converters, electrical batteries and an on-board generator that uses beta particle absorption as a fuel source. The suit is also able to convert nearby energy sources, such as heat or kinetic energy into electricity, or even drain electrical energy directly into the batteries for recharge. Tony also adds jet skates that are now so powerful Iron Man could skate forward towing an entire train behind him. Miniature panes can protect Iron Man's eyes when needed. In addition, the suit can be completely sealed for operations in vacuum or underwater, providing its own life support, and is shielded against radiation. Iron Man's standard offensive weapons have always been the repulsor rays that are fired from the palms of his gauntlets. Other weapons built into various incarnations of the armor include the uni-beam projector in its chest; pulse bolts that pick up kinetic energy along the way, so that they hit harder the further they have to travel; an electromagnetic pulse generator and an energy shield. Other capabilities include generation of ultra-freon, creating and manipulating of magnetic fields, sonic blasts and a holographic generator to create decoys.
Appearance: Tall, dark hair, handsome. Hair style and facial hair up to adopter. Dresses in fine suits. Around 30 yrs old.
Armor: may vary depending on type being used, but has a main, generic armor. Up to adopter. Here are some examples: UIM Movie IM silveryarmorgeneral armor
Bishop:
Sometime in the not too distant future, humans have taken over the world from mutants. Mutant antipathy is at its worst and mutants live in camps and reservations guarded by advanced sentinels. After a few years, however, there was a mutant rebellion, and mutants escaped this persecution. War raged across the planet between mutants and humans. Bishop grew up in this time, and every day was a fight for survival. He joined that era's X-Men and battled for the rights of mutants and for a peaceful coexistence, though he thought that the result was unlikely.
During his time with the X-Men, he learned of rumors of a traitor that precipitated the events that led to mutants' downfall and all out war.
During one skirmish, he tried to disarm a bomb and it exploded, literally throwing him back in time, partially because of his ability to absorb energy, including temporal energy. The explosion also killed all of his teammates, making him the last X-Man. He is now in A.M.(Alternate Marvel)'s present. Bishop has decided to use this as an opportunity to keep his future from happening. Unfortunately, the rumors were never very clear on the identity of the traitor, or if they were even true and the explosion damaged some of his memories.
Does he join the X-Men or is he a free agent (like Mainstream Marvel's Cable?)
Sometime later, when Bishop is much older, he is pushed into the far future where the name X-Men is associated with sin and is outlawed, punishable by instant death. Therefore, he takes a group of rebels against the tyranny of that power and names them "Askani", which in that era's language, means "outsider"
