Personality: A very strong minded and noble kid. If he thinks something is wrong he flat out states it. He is outspoken about his believes and very open minded about everything. He understands that nothing is all gtood or all evil, you have to take them in stride, and do your best at what you can. Very modest and endearing he is kind to evryone but has a strong sense of justice and if you cross it, he can be scary. He refuses to use his powers to kill, only once has that happened and he accidently killed his parents, giving him a large amount of respect for life.

History: Both his parents were members of Project Perfection. He was genetically altered within the fetus to be raised as a mindless drone after birth. However his parents had a change of heart and escaped from the labrotories. He grew up living a relatively normal life except for the constant moving. He was always told that his parents work was the reason they had to move around alot. He travelled constantly being homeschooled between his mother and father. He was taught the basic highschool level courses and french and spanish langauges, due to the fact they where often in french and spanish speaking countries. His life went by relatively peaceful.

At age 11 he was travelling through China where his parents where currently working, his family was headed out for dinner at a resturuant when his father was mugged. His mother tried to call for help, but was struck from behind by another man. his father was shot down and for good measure they slit his,, mothers throat. Then finally they turned to him, the masked man raising the gun pulling the trigger. In his primal rage and fear his power finally activated. He had absolutely no control over his newly awakend power, which was in basically a beserker defense mode.

His power forced the bullet back in the chamber and started morping the mans gun. The gun split and sliced through the attackers necks. He fainted immediatly after the affects of his newly awakened powers draining him. a monk found him lying there and took him in raising him in the monastery. he was taught the six styles of martial arts the masters there taught. He eventually began to assert concious control over his powers. He hated one particular traing session the most, the waterfall with imported pirahnas. H has a chronic fear of fish to this day.

He finished his training at 17 and with the permission of the monk who had become his guardian he traveled back to america. He is currently homeless and looking for work while taking down criminals.

Powers: He has the ability to manipulate virtually every kind of metal in existence. He compress' the metal into several rings when not in use. He has generally about a ton of metal in each of his three rings. He can control the metals density, shape, and size with barely a thought. If he can imagine it he can make it with metal.
