| + | <hr> | ||
| + | <div style="text-indent:40px;">In the early months of living in Millennium City, Albert swiftly developed a fascination with superheroes, particularly those in powered armours; ordinary people wearing advanced personal weapons to take on super powered foes. After suffering dozens of random violent crimes in Westside, he made the decision that enough was enough, and began to plan his own suit of protective armour. Due to a severe lack of funds, Albert had to acquire scrap components from where ever he could. Taking household utilities (toasters, blow dryers, microwave ovens, etc.) and raw materials from numerous junk yards around town, garage sales, and what little he could get Gordon to buy him, he had just enough pieces to begin working by October of 2008. | ||
| + | </div><br> | ||
| + | <div style="text-indent:40px;">Initial work on the armour was slow, and physically exhausting for the frail boy. Despite this, he remained dedicated to the project, even occasionally blowing off college to work on it. Albert’s first powered armour was not what most people would have thought of when the term was said. It was little more than separate metal plates and Kevlar strapped to a leather jumpsuit, with some exposed, if slightly protected, wiring going between his electronic parts. The armour had only a few weapons, and no shielding. Nonetheless, Albert considered it ready for battle conditions on June 14, 2009, when he donned the suit, and captured a group of Cobra Lords attempting a bank heist. It was his first taste of superhuman power, and revenge for the countless times he had been at the receiving end of the beatings. | ||
| + | </div><br> | ||
| + | <div style="text-indent:40px;"> Albert immediately fell in love with the whole gig, and instead of stopping at street gangs, he quickly began targeting higher weight class foes, even striking a few superhuman villains alongside more prominent (and experienced) heroes, including his father, now dubbed Barricade. His early “career” in superheroics, however, came to a head when he started running into VIPER, and doing more solo-runs against organized criminal groups. One fateful early February morning, he heard that VIPER was trying to break into Harmon Labs in downtown on his police scanner. Without hesitation, Albert suited up and flew to the scene of the crime. Expecting the usual squad of ordinary mooks, Albert was massively caught off guard by the presence of the notorious VIPER-X. Albert was unprepared, and was beaten down with little effort by the much more powerful, and experienced, Dragon Branch super soldier, and was very nearly killed if not for the timely arrival of a group of other superheroes. | ||
| + | </div><br> | ||
| + | <div style="text-indent:40px;">After the battle, Albert took what little was left of his first suit of powered armour, and returned home. It would be over a year before he would return to the superhuman stage, his ego bruised, and his body physically shaken and battered by the horrifying encounter. | ||

| + | <hr> | ||
| + | <div style="text-indent:40px;">Albert worked tirelessly for the rest of 2010 on a new suit of armour. Unlike the first time, though, he didn’t simply settle for a scrap-yard Halloween costume. Taking his free time to design, build, and repair household electronics, he amassed a small fortune, which he put into purchasing high-grade raw materials for his next suit of armour. By late 2010, he had enough raw materials to make at least two full suits from scratch. Satisfied with material requirements being met, Albert once again took the time to design a new suit. | ||
| + | </div><br> | ||
| + | <div style="text-indent:40px;">The designing process for Albert’s new armour was far longer than the first. He spent hours at the drawing table, coming up with dozens of different builds, many of which were remarkably advanced, putting most small-time high tech types to shame- only to throw them away, because they weren’t good enough for him. Albert was adamant about building the absolute best he could with what his resources and knowledge allowed, so that a defeat like the one he suffered at the hands of Kevin Armstrong would ‘’never’’ happen again. By May of 2011, he had finally developed something he found suitable, and began building. Finishing in December of 2011, Albert announced his return to the superhuman world with flying to a small, local VIPER Nest he had discovered earlier that year, and (figuratively) wiping the facility off the map. It was at this moment that Albert officially declared war on the global terrorist organization, and would remain a significant thorn in their side all the way to the present day. | ||
| + | </div><br> | ||
| + | <div style="text-indent:40px;">Albert’s life since then had become increasingly complicated. While his new armour was far more powerful than his first, it likewise had a much higher maintenance cost, and he found that it was draining what little money Albert and Gordon had. To solve this problem, Albert took to, once again, working with household utilities and electronics, this time as a permanent business. He would later work on much more complicated, and profitable, projects, whisking Albert and Gordon out of the poverty line and a rundown rental apartment, to a high-rise (but still relatively cheap) apartment in Downtown Millennium City. | ||

| + | <hr> | ||
| + | <div style="text-indent:40px;">Before February of 2012, if someone were to tell Panzer magic existed, he would have written them off as a delusional fool. However, after a close encounter with Talisman (and being bailed by Witchcraft), Albert became curious to these strange mutants who had a plethora of abilities. He spent months examining mages in action, having sorcerers who were willing (which was painfully difficult, considering their own abrasiveness) to perform spells in controlled environments, and reading some of the tomes they had, Albert came to the irrational, but no less true, discovery: magic was real. These men and women were still baseline humans (mostly), and were calling upon an unknown force, supposedly weaved into the fabric of reality, to perform feats that should be impossible without metahumans powers. | ||
| + | </div><br> | ||
| + | <div style="text-indent:40px;">Albert became increasingly fascinated with the forces mages worked with, and between May and July, he experimented with spell casting. Like almost everything, Albert very quickly learned how to cast magic, from simple cantrips to complex rituals that took several minutes to cast, but had a profound effect; he knew enough to rival veteran mages who had spent decades gathering the knowledge to use magic. However, unlike them, Albert never used spells in anything other than observations. He had little interest in wielding this power in practical purposes; rather, he wanted to know what caused it. In late July, he discovered, at least partially, the source of magic, and was utterly disgusted and horrified. | ||
| + | </div><br> | ||
| + | <div style="text-indent:40px;">Magic came to the material plane through the Astral, a place where the Imaginal Realms lied, which in turn were dimensions where the most vile, evil creatures in all of creation that he had ever encountered resided. After questioning mages on this, he discovered they accepted, and even endorsed the presence and influence of these abominations on Earth, as they were a common source of power. Power. It always came down to power, when dealing with magic. Mages never seemed to care about how the world or their sorcery worked, just so long as they can create fireballs from “nothing,” they seemed content. Albert shelved his research on magic, vowing never to use it, and to ensure its influence on the world would remain a minimal one. He would occasionally bring it back up from time to time when new information arose, and would spend long periods of time working on a better way to fight it, but he never picked up a staff, wand, eldritch tome, or material reagent again. | ||

<hr> | <hr> | ||
| − | <div style="text-indent:40px;"> | + | <div style="text-indent:40px;">Albert is a very reclusive and secretive individual, preferring privacy in his own home to social interactions in town. When interacting with other people, he is prone to say things at inappropriate times, interrupt people while they’re talking, and being brutally honest with little regard for their feelings. He’s also frequently abrasive, and behaves with signs of extreme narcissism. Despite his often unfriendly demeanor, Albert legitimately cares about other people, and tries (on occasion) to keep his attitude in check. However, this usually does little to curb his ego, which he absolutely will flaunt at the slightest opportunity. |
| + | </div><br> | ||
| + | <div style="text-indent:40px;">In dire situations, such as super battles, Panzer is ruthless; he’s willing to do pretty much anything to defeat his opponents, short of killing them. His tactical approach to combat makes him an exceedingly difficult opponent, even for enemies of greater power, when compared to most other superheroes of the same weight class. Likewise, Panzer doesn’t believe in needless displays of raw power; if he can avoid taking a hit, no matter how small, or solve a problem without being grandiose in the process, he’ll typically take the actions necessary to do so. On the other hand, if theatrics ‘’are’’ an efficient method of solving a problem, he’ll be willing to use it. | ||
| + | </div><br> | ||
| + | <div style="text-indent:40px;">Panzer’s almost incessant obsession with efficiency and his own superiority stem from a low self-esteem. Being a largely mundane person (and even then, physically inferior by those standards) and surrounded by superhumans, Albert constantly feels like he’s lagging behind. His (according to himself) “unmatched” intelligence is literally the only thing he has over other people, and in the superhuman world, that rarely seems to mean much when trying to stand up to a person who can bench press a hundred tons, or conjure lightning storms with little more than a thought. Albert has convinced himself that, because he’s smarter than most everyone else, he should be able to surpass them physically as well. This is the driving force for his constant upgrades, tactical focus, and ironclad determination. | ||

Albert was swiftly led in by an attendant, who immediately left to boy to stand at the front of the office room, facing the two adults. His face was a deep red, and he glared directly forward, arms folded across his chest. He was very clearly pissed off. "Albert, why don't you explain to your father here what you did wrong." The boy's eyes met the reptile's, "Nothing. It was Charles' mistake, not mine." Gordon lowered his head slightly, "Albert." Young Wagner sighed, breaking eye contact, and his entire expression changed, "...I told him he should be strung up."

The Mark V
The Mark V is Albert's most recent design; a rebuild from the ground up, it incorporates an improved power source, new weapons, and for the first time ever, is a series of multiple armours.
Offensive Functions
Palm-mounted Tau Particle Beams: Palm-mounted particle accelerators that utilize Tau particles in a directed beam. These are his primary weapon of choice in combat, as they possess the widest variety of application. By adjustment of velocity, the beams can produce the kinetic impact and penetrating power of a 9mm pistol loaded with rubber bullets, to the destructive potential of a Gauss Gun. The maximum-power setting includes an explosive effect, making a very effective bunker buster weapon.
Chest-mounted Tau Particle Blaster: A much more powerful version of the Tau Beams, it cannot be sustained as a constant beam.
Plasma-Blade Sword: Very simply, a dragonite rod encased in super-heated plasma.
EMP Detonator: An internal electro-magnetic pulse emitter. A one-time-use device, this mechanism ionizes the air around him at a radius of six meters, instantly frying any unprotected electronics. As part of a safety feature, this includes the device that generates it.
Electric Discharge Unit: High voltage (maximum of 30 kV) electrical discharge capability. This can discharge at any point on the body, so long as physical contact is achieved.
Paralyzer Blasters: Two specialized blasters hidden within the fore-fingers that fire a paralyzing chemical agent at the target. The paralyzing effect can last from a few seconds (approx. 15) to several minutes (approx. 10). Level and time of effect are based on the dosage and size of the target,
Directed Sonic/Electromagnetic Wave: A device that fires sonic or electromagnetic pulses; it is built into a ring around the Tau Beam emitters.
Dimensional Disruptor: A specialized device that disrupts the flow of dimensional energies, suspiciously effective against mages, it is built into the gauntlets with the fingers used for aiming and frequency adjustment.
Defensive Functions
Personal Cover Shield: Basic energy shield, hypothetically capable of blocking nearly anything up to a direct nuclear blast.
Energy-Leech Shield: A unique energy shield that encompasses the armour, absorbing energy used to try and damage the armour to power the shield.
Structural Integrity Field: A "skin-tight" redundant shielding that completely encases the armour (as well as encasing the wearer underneath), capable of withstanding an enormous amount of punishment.
Internal Nanite Reassembly Unit: An internal repair function, allowing the systems of the armour to be repaired mid-battle, should any be taken offline.
Inertial Dampener/Life Support System: Provides protection from physical trauma to the pilot, as well as protection from hazardous environments. This allows the suit to be piloted in the vacuum of space or in the middle of a Radioactive Wasteland, at least for a period of time.
Force Field Expansion Module: A device that allows the expansion of the personal force field, as well as project it onto others.
Psionic Suppressor: A specialized defense that renders the wearer, or anyone within the projected field virtually immune to telepathic assault, as well as technopathy, and renders such powers suppressed.
Utilitarian
Mobility
Propulsion Jets: A pair of jet boosters at the soles of the boots and on the back of the breastplate, these projectors allow for flight up to speeds of ~3000 MPS (meters per second) for up to 168 hours, and can hypothetically maintain 700 KM/H indefinitely. These boots are also able to propel the armour through bursts into the air.
Teleporter: A built-in teleportation device, allowing instantaneous movement. Range: 1-2000 Meters. If teleporting from an outpost or Armoury, range extends to ~40000 Meters.
Other
Enhanced Strength: Physical strength enhanced due to armour robotics. Maximum Lifting Capacity: ~0.3 Metric Kilotons.
Sensor Array: A vast array of sensory equipment, allowing him to see in every possible light spectrum, detect countless energy signatures, a very sensitive heart beat sensor, etc.
Tractor Beam: Fitted into the tips of his fingers, the tractor beams can be used to grab, throw, or otherwise manipulate objects (including living things) of virtually any size and shape. Objects are frozen in place by a "skin-tight" force field the beam projects on targets.
Electro-Magnet: Built into the gauntlets, these gadgets allow the projection and manipulation of magnetic fields.
Gravitational Flux Generator: A system designed to manipulate and create gravity wells, it is spread across the arms.
Special
Jet Pack Module: Unique to the Outer Atmosphere/Deep Space Suit, the jet pack boosts armour speeds to acheive atmosphere escape velocity, and propel the armour through the void of space at several times the speed of sound.
Oxygen Tank Module: Unique to the Deep Sea Suit, this module adds an extra 48 hours of air.
Urban Defense Suit
The Urban Defense Suit (UDS) is a small, compact armour built for on-the-go immediate use in a crisis, such as when getting mugged. It has few, yet useful, functions:
Magnetic Lift Field & Compact Folding: The UDS has a very special function, the ability to fold itself into a backpack, and a magnetic lift to render it light enough to carry on a casual day.
Force Field "Armour Plates": Force fields projected above specific locations on the armour, these force fields function similarly to hard light armour, save for the fact they are invisible.
Personal Cover Shield: While identical to the designs in the other armours, the UDS's cover shield is mildly weaker due to an inferior power source.
Point-Blank Electric Discharge Unit
Drachen Mech
There are times when his main armour does not quite have the defenses for an operation, or he needs to hold a position for an extended period of time without any real break. This is where the really big gun comes in.
Offensive Functions
16.4x113mm Gatling Gauss Cannon: Main armament of the Drachen, with rapid fire capability, as well as the ability to alter the firing arc.
Shotgun Alt-Fire: A secondary barrel on the main cannon, functions as a shotgun.
Macro Missile Launcher: A pair of rocket launchers attached to the back.
Tau Particle Beam: Like the main armour, but attached to the left hand exclusively.
Micro Missile Launcher: A tiny rocket launcher on the left hand.
Ionized Particle Discharge Module: A charged ion field erruption from the mech.
Defensive Functions
Structural Integrity Fields & Plate Armour: Redundant external force fields, as well as more underneath the plate armour to protect internal circuitry and the pilot.
Energy Shield
Energy Leech Shield: Similar to main armour design, but slightly stronger due to superior power source.
Internal Circuitry Repair Nanites
Utilitarian
Jet Boots: While powerful, the jets do not allow sustained flight, as the mech is not designed for it. Instead, they allow short bursts for high jumping.
Superior Strength: Hydraulics allow for incredible amount of physical strength. Maximum Lifting Capacity (one hand): ~0.5 Metric Kilotons
Behemoth Battledroid
A 100 feet/30.48 meters tall dual-nuclear fission reactor powered giant robot designed to combat kaiju, dubbed the ‘Behemoth Battledroid’.
Offensive Functions
Macro Missile Salvo: An excess of rockets fired from both shoulders, a single salvo containing enough firepower to level a skyscraper.
Eye Laser: Built in conjunction with the ocular sensors, a high powered laser capable of cutting through solid Kendrium at 12 decimeters per second.
Drill Hands: The Battledroid's hands are capable of locking into a point, making it easier to penetrate the thick hide or armour of other colossal foes.
Defensive Functions
Custom Alloy & Kendrium Plate Armour: Very thick armour plating provides intense protection against damage.
Energy Deflection Shield: Same design as all others, but massively scaled up in size and power.
Utilitarian
Mobility
Jet Feet: Massive jets built into the soles allow for brief bursts of airborne travel. It can jump.
Other
Ultra Strength: Robotics, hydraulics, and magnetic fields allow the colossal construct to move about and fight. Maximum Lifting Capacity: 2.8 Metric Kilotons

Friends/Allies
Barricade [Gordon Wayne] (@Albert_Wanger)
Godfather, closest friend, and adoptive father. The extra-terrestrial ‘dragon’ has been around since the boy was born, and is the only person he trusts completely. He’s also the only one who can truly, completely control the boy.
Cannonade [Tarvanas Quartz] (@KalasEruthain)
Tarvanas is Gordon's partner, and therefore is seen as family to Albert as well. However, Tarry lacks much of the parental authority Gordon holds.
Cassandra Armstrong (@Miles_Prower12)
A long-time friend of the family, Armstrong is someone Albert trusts to be reliable on the battlefield, and supporting in times of struggle.

Albert’s entire life, since birth, has somehow been under the shadow of this global collection of madmen, whether directly or indirectly. Kidnapped and/or attacked without provocation numerous times by the organization, they’re at the top of his “to exterminate” list. He hates them to the utter core, and will do anything – anything – to make things hard for them, or completely destroy their efforts in any field.
Doctor Oskar Wagner
A mid-tier VIPER scientist and highly-skilled geneticist. He is Albert’s ultimate enemy. The boy pursues the monster relentlessly, and he is the defining reason for Albert’s hatred of VIPER in general.
Mages
Albert abhors magic. It has been a long-standing source of personal grief for the boy, and is the oldest source of evil on Earth. Albert is whole-heartedly convinced that it is wholly evil, regardless of where it comes from. Thanks to this viewpoint, he sees those who use magic as corrupt, narcissistic villains, or arrogant fools who simply think themselves above the rest of humanity because of the power they wield.

"You're a good kid, Al! Jus' need to show a little more restraint." - Cassandra Armstrong "He's a good kid...just wish he wouldn't annoy the officers around here so much" - PRIMUS Official Rayl Torien. (AKA Proud Patriot) "Al has a weeeeird homelife, what with the space dragons and the serious VIPER hate and the armor building and all. But I guess that makes sense since he's kind of weird. Might be the other way around though. It's hard to tell these days." - Nightfang | |||||||||

Tropes and Trivia
Tropes
It had to be done.
- Anti-Hero - slides between Type III and Type IV, depending on situations.
- Anti-Villain - at risk of becoming Type III.
- Powered Armour - Duh.
- Science Hero/Gadgeteer Genius/Teen Genius/The Smart Guy/You get the idea.
- The Determinator
- Badass Bookworm - Some martial training, but nothing spectacular. Also, see Powered Armour.
- Knight Templar Big Brother - Actively threatening his family in front of him is a VERY, VERY bad idea.
- Badass Family - He's a supergenius with powered armour, his surrogate father (and his subsequent boyfriend) is a space-dragon/kaiju. All under the same roof.
- Dangerously Genre Savvy - He has that wonderful gift known as common sense, and he isn't afraid to use it. He's also read the Evil Overlord's List.
- Mysterious Past - Subverted. He won't talk about it, because it sounds ridiculous and sue-ish to him, but his 'father' is more than willing to share.
- Awesome, but Impractical - He spends a lot of his free time designing some pretty weird gadgets that either wouldn't work, or there are much easier and less expensive means of going the same route.
- Awesome, Yet Practical - His weapons. They all work, and either make explosions, a laser light show, or both.
- Shoulders of Doom - His armour shoulder paldrons are actually pretty big. They also house his rockets.
- Walking Armoury - While not as many armaments onboard as previous models, his armour still houses several different weapons.
- More Dakka - The Drachen Mech.
- Humongous Mecha - Because the best solution to giant monsters is equally giant robots.
- No Kill Like Overkill - He does this every chance he gets. Why? Because it's fun. When he can't...
- Deadpan Snarker - He always has to have the last word. Always. Granted, he does have his moments...
- Jerk With A heart of Gold - He'll insult you, berate you, and probably even threaten you. But he'll also be one of the first to get between you and that very mean and evil person that really wants to kill you.
- Archnemesis Dad - His biological father is a very less than friendly geneticist in employ of VIPER.
Missing Mom
Nerves of Steel - Even to those that may frighten him, it is still very hard to illicit such a response from him.
The Chessmaster - And a decent one at that, for a "hero."
- Freeman For A Day Card - While this is largely owed to his tactical genius and the power of his armour, Albert has had his fair share of fighting marathons, and won most of them.
Trivia
- Panzer’s concept has been retconned several times before reaching what he is today. The current, and arguably final concept, came about with the thought of a heroic, underage Doctor Doom.
- Albert is aquaphobic and claustrophobic, making adventures into the deep underground, or out to sea, very difficult for him to join in on. Likewise, hydrokinetics and geokinetics utterly terrify him.
- Panzer secretly admires the technological prowess of Dr. Destroyer’s inventions, and frequently makes efforts to examine it whenever he gets the chance.
- Albert’s wealth is attained by selling non-military inventions to individuals, corporations, and the government.
- Panzer has, on more than one occasion, supported ARGENT on matters related to scientific discovery and technological advancement.
- While he would never admit it, and fights to avoid showing it, Albert is terrified of his family and friends, and suffers from a sense of inferiority around superhumans, despite what his armour can do.
