<P ALIGN="Left">'''Once a brilliant physicist with a view for changing the world for the better, Malcolm Parton's life was changed forever when a freak accident caused him to be caught in a highly experimental particle collider mid-collision. Though he should have been killed, an unknown variable caused the hyper accelerated Power Particles to destroy and reconstruct Malcolm's body, merging with his physiology at a subatomic level. The process radically altered Mal, transforming him into a conduit to the metaphysical plane and granting him extraordinary superpowers in the process. Imbued with power beyond his wildest imagination, Mal vowed to use it responsibly in keeping with his pacifistic beliefs and became Captain Collider, the immeasurable Man of the Millennium!'''</P>

<div style="border: 0px solid rgb(6, 8, 7); height: 440px; overflow: auto;">

Mal was only twelve when a devastating earthquake hit San Francisco, trapping many of its citizens in dangerous situations. Mobilising with the rest of the city's fire department, his mother, Grace Parton, bravely bid her family farewell and set out to participate in rescue operations alongside local authorities and crimefighters. It was during these rescue operations that an electrical fire broke out in an office complex. With her crew at her side, Grace selflessly entered the burning building to save those still trapped within. As the rest of her team made their way out, however, she narrowly noticed a paraplegic woman trapped unconscious beneath her wheelchair and fallen debris. Risking her own life, Grave helped the woman out of the building, only barely managing to pass her off to a member of her crew before the floor underneath her gave out and she plummeted to her death. Grace Parton died saving innocent lives, and would be remembered as one of many heroes lost that day by the city of San Francisco

 

 

For a while, the loss of Grace left a noticeable rift in the Parton family. Gerald Parton sank deep into his work and became increasingly more reclusive, Francine Parton soon began to cut classes and outright skip school altogether, and Mal began to lose the spark of joy she had instilled in him over the years. It was only during the reading of her will, where she left a message imploring her family to remember that she died saving lives and that she wouldn't have had it any other way, that the broken family began to piece itself back together again. With his mother's message of selflessness and altruism still fresh in his mind, Mal became resolved to one day do her memory proud by using his gifts to make the world a better place.

With dreams of using science to improve the lives of people around him, Mal grew to become more and more enamoured with science. Before long, he found himself studying Particle Physics at one of the most prestigious specialised colleges in the country: Arcadia City University. It was during his studies that met the woman who would one day be love of his life, Vanessa Morello. A fellow student of Particle Physics at ACU, Vanessa's intelligence, beauty and warmness quickly drew the affections of Mal. Initially too shy to talk to her directly, he would spend his classes admiring her from afar and trying to gather up the courage to approach her.   

Mal increased his work hours and devotion to the Power Particle over the next year, even inventing a robotic assistant named '''[[QUARK]]''' to help reduce his workload. Eventually though, as if through sheer determination, his efforts bore fruit with the creation of the world's first Parton Collider -- a particle accelerator that he hoped would uncover the mystery behind the Power Particle through the collision of accelerated particle rays. On the precipice of finally proving the legitimacy behind his life's work and saving Vanessa from the claws of fate, Mal wasted no time in trying to put the grand machine to practice.

Within a week, the preparations for the initial activation of the Parton Collider had been made. An gallery of esteemed scientists, interested investors, Unlimited Dynamics board members and a few representatives of the media gathered to observe history in the making. With the weight of the world on his heavy shoulders, Mal started up the Parton Collider and watched with bated breath as it began to pull humanity into a new age in a brilliant flash of light.  

Almost too suddenly to comprehend the situation, the Parton Collider began to fluctuate wildly out of control, its collisions shaking the entire laboratory violently. As Mal hurried to find a solution to the problem, the audience and scientists were trapped in the lab by falling debris. Though he was initially unwilling to give up on his dreams, Mal quickly changed his mind on seeing the lives of others endangered and, in a bold act of heroism and redemption for his mistakes, he climbed to the upper level of the lab and attempted to hit the emergency shut down switch. As he slammed the button, however, the walkway he stood on gave way beneath him, sending him hurtling into the path of the Parton Collider's accelerated particle beams just as it fired off one final time. As the beams collided with him on either side, Mal Parton ceased to be, exploding in a flash of blinding light and leaving only an echoing scream in his wake. As the machine shut down due to his efforts, every person in the room watched in horror as the man behind it was disintegrated before their very eyes.

Roughly a month later, as Olivier Martin and QUARK oversaw the clean up of what was left of the late Mal's lab, the former lingered for a moment on the deactivated Parton Collider and ran a sentimental hand across its surface. As he reached a certain point, however, a jolt of electricity arced out and zapped his hand as he recoiled in pain, the Parton Collider reactivated itself seemingly of its own volition. Before anyone in the room could react, however, the machine collided two accelerated particle beams and, with an explosive shockwave of light and sound, a form assembled itself out of particles within the light. As the Parton Collider once again deactivated itself, the hulking form stumbled from its origin point. Though he was far more muscular and nude than he had been the day he 'died', the form was, without a doubt, the late Mal Parton.

Though Mal appeared to possess the same memories and basic physical features he had prior to falling into the Parton Collider and being atomised, his body had been completely altered during the reconstruction process. Going from a lean, brown-eyed 5'11" man, he was 'reborn' a 6'4 man with extremely dense musculature and glowing blue eyes matching the hue of the Parton Collider's particle beams, the sides of his hair unnaturally whitened. Dazed and confused by his recent 'reincarnation', Mal's first thoughts immediately went to Vanessa. Pulling on a lab coat and pushing past Olivier and QUARK, Mal ran out of the building and onto the streets so he could get to the hospital as quickly as possible.

As he emerged onto the streets of Arcadia, however, Mal's senses were overwhelmed by things he shouldn't have been capable of perceiving. The sounds of voices whispering and shouting from miles away boomed in his ears like loudspeakers. His vision wavered between clearly fixating on objects too distant to usually observe and seeing through solid surfaces as if they were made of glass. His nose caught whiffs of the lunch time rush in Chinatown several blocks away and the salt water of the sea on the coast of the town. In complete agony, Mal attempted to run towards the hospital to get away from it all, only to break the sound barrier and crash headfirst through a store window; and as he pushed himself up and attempted to jump back through the opening he had made, he propelled himself into the air and came crashing back down in a heap, beams of energy firing from his eyes and into the ground wildly. Whatever had happened to Mal between his being disintegrated and being reconstituted had changed him.

Mal confided in Olivier that he wanted to start using his powers for the good of mankind while still pursuing the full potential of the Power Particle. Though Olivier was initially reluctant, he believed that the best way to do both things was to 'come out' as a superhero, allowing him to become an identifiable public figure while still enabling him to pursue scientific inquiry as Mal Parton. Pondering the idea, Mal noted that, with his powers being as potentially vast as they were, he wanted to ensure that there would always be accountability for his actions. This would both ease public opinion of him and humanise presence. Ever the opportunist, Olivier suggested that Mal premiere as a corporate sponsored hero, a representative not just of Unlimited Dynamics' goal to usher in a better future, but also as a symbol of that future -- the way things could and should be.  

Using Unlimited Dynamics' test grounds to train and explore the potential of his powers, Mal developed his already known powers of super strength, durability, speed and sense while picking up others such as his various energy and radiation blasts and particle vision along the way. At the same time, QUARK worked on developing a more streamlined, mobile stabilisation suit and Olivier began to figure out how to 'sell' the would-be superhero. After months of preparation, all three parties came together and gave birth to a new breed of superhero.

In the next few weeks, the annual Arcadia City Science Expo was staged at the Wonderdome. It was here that Mal would make his debut after much preparation. As Unlimited Dynamics took the stage, so too did their new star player. In a star-studded introduction heralded by music and fireworks, Mal Parton revealed to the entire world that he was not only alive and well, but better than ever. Swooping in from on high with a flowing cape and glowing eyes, Mal premiered as the unstoppable Man of the Millennium: Captain Collider.

<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"Personally, I do like the name. Dr. Collider sounds kind of self-gratifying, when you think about it. Also, a little evil." - Captain Collider''</div></div>

In the coming months, Captain Collider went on to prove himself a hero worthy of his grandiose introduction. Flying high over Arcadia City, he devoted himself body and mind not only to fighting the various super criminals plaguing his home, but also to everyday criminals such as muggers, burglars and crime bosses. In addition, Captain Collider also contributed his powers and skill set to helping to further scientific inquiry both as his heroic alter-ego and as Mal Parton, promoting ideals of progress forward thinking, not violence. He has created a dome on the uppermost level of Unlmited Dynamics' HQ which serves as his base of operations and regularly allows civilians to approach him there with individual problems when not out on patrol or on some parallel world.

His first attempt to discourage Mal Parton from creating the Parton Collider involved employing his wife, Vanessa Morello, at Steel Industries and exposing her to unique radiation which made her terminally ill. Much to Steel's dismay, however, this only prompted Mal to speed up his work on the Parton Collider, creating it ahead of schedule. With few options present to him, Steel sabotaged the first activation of the Parton Collider with a Metaversial Jammer of a future Captain Collider's own design. Unfortunately, it was this Metaversial Jammer's presence that acted as the unknown variable in activating the connection between the Metaverse and the Parton Collider, giving birth to the Power Particle and reconstructing Mal Parton into Captain Collider. For a while, Steel believed his plan had worked, having seen the Parton Collider deconstruct Mal. When he resurfaced with superpowers and went public as Captain, however, the villain had no other choice but to kill him before he became too powerful. Inventing the identity of Blacksmith, Steel used his stabilised Power Particles to create a number of Captain Collider's most formidable foes -- The Amorphous Man, Lady Winter, Obelisk, Powerline and ADAM to name a few. He also outfitted local gangs and super criminals with technology specifically made to counter the hero. Much to his frustration, however, Captain Collider always managed to overcome the obstacles placed before him, even becoming stronger with each new challenge. For the five years, Blacksmith conspired to eliminate Captain Collider and, for five years, Captain Collider sought to uncover the villain's true identity. When he eventually did so, however, Blacksmith had prepared one final contingency plan to dispatch his foe once and for all.

Asserting that the destruction of the city would be bad for business, the super criminals volunteered to truce with their enemy to protect Arcadia. While the Renaissance Men called in additional help from Vito 'Cash' Cardellini, The Fissioneer, The Wild Ones, Blockhead and Powerline, Captain Collider activated the 'QUARK Defense Protocol', giving QUARK and Olivier Martin full control over a force of robotic drones to help protect the civilians and combat the A.D.A.M drones. Together, the fire-forged team, the police and the army united against their common enemy, destroying the A.D.A.M drones after a lengthy battle and saving Arcadia City.

Or so it seemed. Whilst the team of heroes and rogues had been protecting Arcadia City from the wave of A.D.A.Ms, Blacksmith had taken over Stonewall Penitentiary off the coast of Goldbrook to initiate the next step of his plan. Freeing some of the penitentiary's most dangerous prisoners, he offered each one a billion dollar reward for the head of Captain Collider and used a teleportation device to transport them directly to mainland Arcadia. With the likes of Obelisk, Lady Winter, the Amorphous Man, Doctor Creepy and the 3D Bandit now free, a second battle ensued between the combined forces of those protecting Arcadia City and the escaped convicts of Stonewall. During this fight, Captain Collider took the opportunity to pursue Blacksmith, chasing him to his safehouse and confronting him.  

Weakened to near death by the whole experience, Captain Collider took a moment to relax as the battle for Arcadia City came to an end. As he lay there, however, Captain Chemo arrived from the battle and entertained the notion of simply killing Captain Collider before he was vulnerable. Ultimately, though, the villain reluctantly opted to help the hero to his feet and decided that their truce was still in effect.  

<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"People can always surprise you. Always." - Captain Collider''</div></div>

Over the next few weeks, Captain Collider, the Renaissance Men, the gangs of Arcadia City and those rogues who had opted to help defend their home all banded together with volunteers and relief teams to rebuild the city in a record period of time, even managing to reconstruct and improve the Wonderdome. Though some of Stonewall's convicts had successfully escaped in the chaos of the Battle of Arcadia, the majority of them had been defeated by the combined efforts of its protectors and returned to their cells. For her part in the protection of Arcadia City and its subsequent reconstruction, Mayor Elizabeth Rhodes was elected for another term by a landslide vote. Unlimited Dynamics bought out Steel Industries and provided new jobs to all its employees, notably promoting Francine Parton to a high-level position as CFO of the new amalgamated Unlimited Enterprises. The QUARK Defense Protocol was developed further, acting as a contingency measure in the event of another city-wide event. Those villains who helped defend Arcadia City were given full pardons for their efforts and Blockhead became a new provisional member of the Renaissance Men (much to the Fissioneer's chagrin). Finally, the man behind Arcadia's darkest day, Max'ur Steel, was placed in a specially-made maximum security cell at Stonewall.

Though he '''initially believed them to be particles capable of granting powers to suit any situation,''' Captain Collider has recently discovered that '''Power Particles''' are, in fact, '''sub-atomic particles from another universe made manifest in our own.''' These particles serve as a link to the '''Metaverse -- an abstracted metaphysical dimension which governs the laws of physics across the entire Multiverse.''' Due to his accident, Captain Collider now exists as a '''conduit between our physical world and the Metaverse,''' granting him the power to '''manipulate physics in order to influence his own abilities and the world around him in extraordinary ways.''' As a result, Captain Collider has become '''a metahuman of extraordinary power and might''' with a  potential '''restrained only by his comparatively narrow perception of the true nature of the universe and his humanity.''' In addition to this, Captain Collider's '''devout belief in pacifism often stops him from using his abilities excessively or in overtly destructive ways,''' further limiting the development of what might otherwise be godlike power. Still, as time marches on, '''Captain Collider's understanding of his powers and their upper limits becomes increasingly more intricate and his view of existence as a whole threatens to change with it.'''  

*'''Superhuman Strength'''

*'''Invulnerability'''

The Power Particles surging through Captain Collider's structure generate an imperceptible bio-electric field around his body. This bio-electric field can be shared through contact, allowing the hero to exert tremendous strength and force by touch.  It also acts as a dermal barrier which makes him extremely resistant to harm. The strength bio-electric field can be manually increased and decreased to suit Captain Collider's needs, allowing him some control over his power level. Though the exact upper limits of the field have yet to be seen, Captain Collider was once able to lift a monument weighing in at roughly 1000 tons with some strain and notably pushed a small moon back into orbit to save a doomed planet. He is also nigh-invulnerable to the point where most physical attacks are incapable of even damaging his skin, let alone the flesh beneath. Given the source of his power, it is theoretically possible that Captain Collider's strength and invulnerability are limited only by the strain on his connection to the Metaverse, which may supply boundless energy to his bio-electric field.

*'''Flight'''

*'''Superhuman Speed'''

By accelerating his Power Particles at high speeds, Captain Collider is capable of propelling himself in any given direction. As a result, he can run at extreme speeds and achieve self-propelled flight. Though he has shown himself to be capable of moving his particles at the speed of light, he lacks the reflexes most high-level speedsters possess and, therefore, typically settles for supersonic speed in populated areas. He normally uses his powers to absorb the kinetic energy he releases when breaking the sound barrier in order to negate its damaging effects.

*'''EM Vision'''

*'''Telescopic Vision'''

*'''Microscopic Vision'''

By manipulating the Power Particles in his eyes and ears, Captain Collider is capable of enhancing or otherwise influencing his vision through application of 'filters' across the electromagnetic spectrum. This 'EM Vision', as he calls it, grants him X-Ray Vision, Infrared Vision, Night Vision, Ultraviolet Vision and the ability to perceive microwaves and radio waves. In addition to this, he can also convert the Power Particles in his eyes to take on the properties of electrons and positrons, which enables him to see at great distances and concentrate his sight on otherwise imperceptible objects in a manner similar to that of a powerful telescope or microscope.

*'''Accelerated Healing'''

*'''Superhuman Senses'''

*'''Superhuman Reflexes'''

*'''Superhuman Stamina'''

*'''Self-Sustenance'''

*'''Decelerated Aging'''

As a result of the radiation from the Power Particles making up most of his atomic structure, Captain Collider's natural human traits have also been boosted to superhuman levels. His body's natural healing abilities have been increased tenfold, allowing him to recover from any injuries he does receive significantly faster than the average man. His senses of sight, smell, hearing and taste have also been influenced, allowing him to hear at extreme variances of frequency, pitch and distance; register smells across great distances; perceive sights with added clarity and taste subtle flavours such as specific poisons or drugs. His reflexes have increased, though not to the standards of a speedster. He can additionally remain active for extensive periods of time without oxygen, food, water or rest and has shown evidence of significantly decelerated aging.

*'''Energy Generation'''

*'''Radiation Generation'''

*'''Collider Vision'''

*'''Radioactive Vision'''

By charging his Power Particles with various kinds of energy drawn from the Metaverse, Captain Collider is able to turn his body into a living battery and project any number of distinct energies from it. For the purposes of concentrating this projection in a controlled way, he usually expels it from his eyes or hands, the former of which typically manifests itself as concentrated (and sometimes imperceptible) beams of hyper accelerated energy -- 'Collider Vision'. Though the nature of the energy Captain Collider projects is usually either concussive or atomic, he can alter exactly what he projects whenever the situation calls for it. He can also similarly generate radiation, often expelling from his eyes or producing 'auras' around various parts of his body.

In addition to generating his own energy to charge Power Particles with, Captain Collider can also siphon off energy and radiation from other sources, absorbing and storing it within his Power Particles to temporarily increase their strength and efficacy. Though, like any battery, he has his bursting point, Captain Collider has shown that he is capable of absorbing almost any kind of energy or radiation in massive amounts rivaling -- or, sometimes, exceeding -- even the greatest power sources in the known universe.

By channeling the Metaverse's dominion over the laws of physics through his Power Particles, Captain Collider is able to manipulate matter on a sub-atomic level, altering the physical or elemental properties of any given structure to an almost limitless degree. Among other things, he has shown himself capable of shifting the matter state of different substances, atomically deconstructing and reconstructing substances, transmuting one form of matter into another, creating new elements and even completely dissociating subatomic bonds to disintegrate the subject of his manipulation. Despite the vast potential of this power, Captain Collider is seemingly incapable of manipulating the matter of living organisms.  

*'''Wormhole Creation'''

Recently, Captain Collider combined his matter manipulating powers with his time manipulating powers to gain the new ability to tear distinct wormholes in the space-time continuum. These wormholes -- or 'Metaversal Gateways' -- allow the hero to ride the cosmic leylines of the Metaverse to travel at faster-than-light speeds through space, 'jumping' from point A to point B by temporarily connecting two locations. Captain Collider is hesitant to open these 'gateways' outside of the vacuum of space, however, for risk of causing catastrophic damage to his surroundings. They are primarily used to expedite his cosmic and interdimensional adventures.

[[File:Daryl Collider.jpg|605px|right|thumb|<font color=#00000>"I can split an atom with my bare hands; imagine what I could do to you. Stand down."</font>]]

When Captain Collider's powers first began to manifest themselves, the difficulty he had controlling them gave him cause for concern. Theorising that, '''if he might wind up combusting into a black hole,''' Captain Collider constructed the '''Collider Stabilisation Suit.''' Made out of a patented protective material known as '''Omniflex,''' the Collider Stabilisation Suit is capable of both '''containing Captain Collider's fluctuating power levels and offering resistance to all manner of destructive elements, making its exceedingly durable.'''

When not operating as a superhero, Captain Collider usually uses his '''connection to the Metaverse to store its particles within it.''' From there, he can call upon it at will by '''infusing his hands with ionic energy and slamming his fists together, creating a flash that condenses the particles of his costume over him and atomises his civilian clothes (or vice versa).'''  

'''Super-Genius Level Intellect:''' Endowed with an IQ of 274, Captain Collider possesses a super-genius level of intelligence and a brilliant scientific mind. With intellect, Collider has ready access to an eidetic memory, a high capacity for academic progression and the uncanny ability to think faster and on a higher level of reasoning than most people, all of which make him well-suited to the mental toll of regularly and accurately using his powers. Truly, his mind is his most valuable asset.

'''Brilliant Physicist:''' With a PhD and years of specialisation in particle physics as well as additional doctorates in astrophysics, nanotechnology, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, robotics, quantum mechanics and theoretical physics, Captain Collider is arguably one of the world's foremost physicists, at times decades ahead of his peers in terms of innovation. His vast knowledge of physics is regularly applied to his crime-fighting and his expanding knowledge of the Metaverse as he makes leaps and bounds towards discovering the true nature of the multiverse at large.

'''Expert Chemist and Biologist:''' Though not as adept in either of these subjects as he is in physics, Captain Collider's knowledge of chemistry and biology is nothing to be sniffed at and he's usually able to put it to good use. Of particular note is his moderate level of study in biochemistry, genetics, metahuman science and xenobiology.

'''Personable, insightful, perceptive and generally earnest, Captain Collider is an affable and dependable person inside and out. A generous, gentle soul, he only wants happiness for as many people as possible and truly wants to see the good in everybody. In his mind, altruism is the human condition and the only reasonable way to ensure mankind's progression as a species. As such, he always goes out of his way to make sure everyone is treated fairly and with a modicum of decency, even the ones who may not deserve it.'''  

This all-loving personality is reflected in his pacifistic philosophy, which he always strives to maintain. To Captain Collider, violence in any case where violence is not strictly needed is the result of a failure by people to act as civilised creatures. That isn't to say he completely avoids violence, however, as he understands the necessity of it and readily takes up arms when he needs to. Responsibility and duty are very important to Captain Collider. He believes it is his responsibility as a person to use his powers and intellect for good and frowns upon anyone who doesn't. As such, he usually exercises extreme caution to make sure he never crosses any boundaries -- perhaps to a noticeable fault, as he can be rather hesitant to show force in all but the most pressing situations.  

'''A man of science, Captain Collider has a boundless curiosity when it comes to the subject and approaches any opportunity to expand his intellectual horizons with an overzealousness that contrasts with his usual sobriety. He has an almost unquenchable thirst for understanding how all things work. In addition, he usually confronts obstacles with the lateral mind of a scientist, preferring to take the thinking man's path. He holds knowledge and invention in great esteem and can hardly stop himself at expressing awe and excitement at some of the many marvels he stumbles upon in his adventures. He can even become enthralled to the point where he even enthusiastically compliments enemies on their death rays and giant robots while thwarting them. There is a dark side to this enthusiasm for science, however, as he can be single-minded in his pursuit of scientific progress to the point where he often neglects or becomes unaware of the social and emotional needs of the people in his life, and even disregards his own well-being. This behaviour has often caused others to view him as something of a mad scientist.

Though it's easy to get lost in Captain Collider's larger than life presence, the hero readily indulges in his humanity. He still conducts himself with the mannerisms of a meeker man: he sometimes shows a discernible level self-doubt and social insecurity, can be very self-effacing, embarrasses surprisingly easily and tends to take most people at face value, often responding sincerely to facetious remarks. Captain Collider is also prone to rattling off information, going off on lengthy tangents or complicated scientific explanations. Despite his genius he has a tendency to be absent-minded about more mundane things such as names and social plans. His pacifism, though admirable, can border on naivete, particularly when dealing with more morally grey scenarios. He is strongly devoted to his own personal beliefs and can become indignant when they're infringed upon -- especially when science is taken advantage of. Indeed, the burden of his powers and the constant challenges to his optimistic worldviews constantly weigh on him, making him brusque and irritable when it all gets to be too much. Likewise, the burden of responsibility he places on himself leads him to be very self-depreciating and prompts him to take on more duties than are necessary, such as taking the lead on missions and opting to engage the biggest threats. He is also an outspoken liberal who harbours an open distrust of certain government, corporate and military organisations.  

'''On a more personal note, Captain Collider loves people. He regularly tours the world on his college lecture circuits and frequently devotes time to attending public events or just helping many of the civilians he has met during his superheroics with various tasks. He has a fairly good sense of humour and rarely takes offense to the odd joke on his behalf -- though his own attempts at humour are often groan-inducing. Open-minded to the extreme, he's always willing to try new things. Despite his friendliness, however, Captain Collider is still very much an introvert and likes to spend time alone with his thoughts when he can. In romance, he has a tendency to be predictably awkward, considering his history. If he develops romantic feelings for a woman he rarely, if ever, makes the first move and usually keeps his affections to himself out of fear of rejection. It should be noted by any woman in his life, however, that they may have issues competing with his love of science and commitment to superheroics.'''

<font size=1px>Joshua Strom was once Mal Parton's brightest student and most outspoken advocate, despite his internship at Steel Industries. When Mal became Captain Collider, Strom made a failed attempt at replicating his accident, electrocuting himself while exposed to future Power Particles by Blacksmith. Despite his failure, the accident gave Strom an almost cosmic level of control over electricity. Though he attempted to use it to fight crime as the hero Powerline, his lack of responsibility quickly endangered lives. When confronted by Captain Collider, Strom lashed out in anger and the hero was forced to subdue him. Though Powerline still occasionally seeks his revenge, he also acts as the questionable protector of Verdant Coast.<br /></font>

<font size=1px>A fierce mixed martial artist known for his towering size and strength, Mason 'The Obelisk' King's career soon came to an end when a fight for the championship left him permanently crippled. Desperate to fight again, Mann turned to medical science and was soon infused with a mysterious Power Particle formula disguised as an experimental treatment. Transformed into a towering man of unbreakable stone, Obelisk stormed his former ring and almost beat many of its fighters to death before Captain Collider intervened. Now a full-fledged criminal, Obelisk sees defeating Captain Collider as the ultimate proof of his strength and nary lets an opportunity to fight him go by. He has recently developed the power to enhance his size exponentially.<br /></font>

<font size=1px>The socialite wife of a jewellery tycoon and a friend of Maxwell Steel, Jacqueline Frost lost the two most important things in the world to her when her husband's company went bankrupt: her wealth and her social status. Humiliated and shunned, Frost convinced a "reluctant" Steel to use his Power Particles to give her powers of her own. Gifted with potentially vast control over ice and heat, Frost became Lady Winter and sought to take back her jewels and wealth through force. Though she was thwarted by Captain Collider and divorced by her husband, Lady Winter has since developed a dangerous mastery over her powers and a growing detachment from humanity, seeking to rid the world of warmth so  that it may feel the same icy numbness she does.<br /></font>

'''Inspired By:''' Clayface (DC), Chemo (DC), Parasite (DC), Plasmus (DC), Muckman (TMNT), The Blob (1958)<br />

<font size=1px> Needing a weapon to challenge Captain Collider, Blacksmith used a canister of concentrated Power Particles on 0n someone no one would miss: the lonely Steel Industries janitor, Randall Pittman. Trapping Pittman in an experimentation chamber, Blacksmith secretly exposed him to the Power Particles, transforming him into a grotesque humanoid blob of highly acidic slime. After being tricked by Maxwell Steel into believing a cure for his condition lay with Captain Collider, this 'Amorphous Man' attacked the hero and very nearly defeated him. Nowadays, the Amorphous Man relentlessly pursues a cure for his 'illness', doing just about anything to get it. He has since learned to temporarily shapeshift, making him all the more formidable. <br /></font>

'''Members:''' Powerline, Obelisk, Lady Winter, Amorphous Man<br />

<font size=1px>Consisting of the first four metahumans empowered by Blacksmith through the use of his future Power Particles, the Power Company was formed as an early actualisation of the villain's master plan to kill Captain Collider, but disguised as a petty revenge gang to its other members. Convincing his unwitting pawns to put aside their differences to eliminate their shared enemy, Blacksmith finally revealed himself to Captain Collider with the team at his back and proceeded to lead them against the hero, defeating him and taking over Arcadia City. Through a combination of luck, wit and the help of his allies, Captain Collider was eventually able to recover from his loss and defeat the villains. It has been reassembled by its members with and without Blacksmith on several occasions before apparently disbanding completely.<br /></font>

<font size=1px>Accidentally brought forth onto our dimensional plane during one of Captain Collider's attempts to create a portal to another universe, the Antimatron is an interdimnesional warlord who leads an army of physiologically similar creatures known only as the Ravening Horde. Wielding a powerful cosmic staff capable of transforming matter into antimatter and manipulating that antimatter, the Antimatron sought only to completely annihilate all existence and was only defeated when she was driven back by Captain Collider and his allies. She has not made a return to our dimension since, and it is Captain Collider's hope that things stay that way. Unfortunately for him, however, the Antimatron's forces stand primed and ready for another attack.<br /></font>

<font size=1px>A twisted Mal Parton from a parallel universe, Patton Malvo was a physicist working on the ultimate weapon -- the Power Bomb -- when he was caught in its spontaneous detonation and infused with Power Particles. When Malvo reconstituted himself, he found that he had become a coduit to the metaverse and became Doctor Collider, reducing his world to ruins through misguided 'heroism'. When Malvo used his 'Malvo Portal' to uncover a world where a kind Captain Collider lived a happy life, he grew envious and travelled to his universe, plotting to kill and replace him. With the power to tap into the Metaverse in equal and opposite ways to Captain Collider, Doctor Collider is an unrepentant monster solely motivated by his hatred and envy.<br /></font>

<font size=1px>Brilliant and apathetic, Spencer Nguyen quickly grew bored with the tedium of his job as a chemical engineer and dissatisfied with his insulting pay grade. Deciding to introduce a change of pace to his life, Nguyen built his greatest creation yet -- the Alchemy Blasters. With his new weapons, Nguyen could project a plethora of dangerous chemicals and transmute any substance at will. Further outfitting himself with a protective bio-suit and helmet, Nguyen became Captain Chemo -- a methodical and ruthless super criminal who uses chemistry to get rich or thrill himself trying. And if he can also take out Captain Collider in the process, he sees no reason not to.</font><br>

<font size=1px>A renowned mathematician and quantum physicist with arguably the most brilliant mind of his generation, the ever eccentric Quentin Kepler's greatest invention came in the form of a hi-tech 'wand' capable of manipulating quantum mechanics on a minor level. The 'Quantum Wand' granted him limited reality manipulation through the use of quantum mathematical formulas fed into the device via a neurological link. Deciding that the ultimate test of his genius and technology would be to become the greatest criminal that ever lived, Kepler became the Mathmagician and began using his mastery of metaphysical mathematics to make unreality a reality.</font><br>

<font size=1px>Partially deafened as a child, Percival Carillon became a sonic engineer in the hopes that he could restore his hearing. When his employer fell in danger of being bought out by a competitor who would scrap his work, Carillon used his 'Crown Bell' -- a helmet capable of emitting and manipulating sound -- to scare the buyers away, haunting them with 'voices' and freak 'accidents'. When Captain Collider began to investigate, Carillon used his inventions to convince him he was going insane, but was found out and arrested. He now operates as the Bandmaster, a one-man band of crime using sonic technology to make Arcadia City march to the beat of his twisted drum.</font><br>

<font size=1px>A young and brash spectroscopist, Zachary Specter always had a mind to use his knowledge to break into the world of villainy like his late father once dreamed of. Using his father's old research with some of his own improvements and modifications, Specter invented the Psychedelic Kaleidoscope and the Technicolour Dreamsuit, a weapon and a suit which enabled him to manipulate and mimic visible light respectively. With his new powers, Specter became the Living Colour and started on a one man crime spree through Arcadia City which was only cut short by Captain Collider. Nowadays, the Living Colour seeks to make some rep and money any way he can, though his immaturity often means he isn't taken very seriously.</font><br>

<font size=1px>A mechanical engineer at Unlimited Dynamics, Kenneth Sculley constantly found himself being passed over for opportunities to study alien technology. Disgruntled, Sculley stole a high-access keycard and used it to pilfer a handful of alien tech to study at home. He soon stumbled upon a device which projected beams of cosmic energy capable of 'opening' or 'locking' any given target and creating portals. His mind flooding with possibilities, Sculley reverse engineered the device into a weapon called the 'Keygun' and became the Skeleton Key. As Skeleton Key, Sculley went on to steal anything that caught his eye and was even able to 'lock' Captain Collider in another dimension once. Though he has sinced joined the Renaissance Men, he remains something of a coward and the team's laughing stock.</font><br>

Believing themselves to be above common criminals, the 'Renaissance Men' prefer to use their intellect and coordination to get ahead. Nevertheless, their brilliant minds and technology make them a force to be reckoned with. Blockhead was admitted into the group on a provisional basis after the Battle of Arcadia.<br /></font>

These rings gave Cardellini enhanced strength, the ability to generate forcefields and project energy, and the power to subtly alter probability in his favour. Though they failed to defeat Captain Collider, Cardellini used his 'gift' to become kingpin, outfitting his gang with gear based on his rings to make his city a little less extraordinary.</font>
