Background

Jimmy "James" Tyler was born in Detroit, Michigan as an anti-social outcast who was often treated like a bug always getting stepped on. In high school he had troubles with getting dates, making friends, and being extremely gullible. After school Jimmy would always go home in City Center where he lives with his 45-year old grandma, Alicia James. She was getting up in age and Jimmy always made sure he was there to look out for her; he thought him and his grandmas as both "widows" since Alicia's husband died of lung cancer and Jimmy's dad never seen him a day he was born. So the only woman he had in his life was his grandma.

Appearance

As James Tyler: James stands a height of 5 feet 5 inches. He wears his hair in a sloppy, unkempt design and he can often be spotted wearing his favorite short-sleeve green dress shirt with a white long-sleeve thermal underneath.

As Bugg: When James is spotted as Bugg he is an inch higher standing at 5 feet 6 inches and is wearing his notable brown and orange costume with long 3 inch antennas spouting from the top of his mask with green two-way mirror eye lenses.

A much more cleaned up and stylish Jimmy

Personality

Bugg as an empowered superhuman is very confident and cocky about the things hes capable of and can be very immature at times. He is both sarcastic and a wise-cracking superhero with a knack to always piss of opponents in hopes of them messing up and cause themselves to do the dumbest things, but his smart-mouth can be a bit harsh and actually cause himself to let his guard down and make him vulnerable to surprise attacks. When Bugg is in his civilian identity of James Tyler he acts often shy and sometimes a little sarcastic to further separate his personality as Bugg and keep people from making the assumption that James is actually Bugg (primarily due to a spike of YouTube showcasing Bugg and how jokey and smart-mouthed he is).

Bugg: Point of Origin

The media is always talking about seeing aliens, crop circles, and "little green men" everywhere, but this alien was NO joke! One day the nice sunny afternoon went from light to dark and it started raining fire. Alien spaceships then started popping up all over the city and landing in the surrounding neighborhoods, The Champions reported it was the alien race, The Qularr and they were looking for something having "scavengers" search nearby buildings and streets. Jimmy happened to be walking home from school when this was all going down, a force field went up trapping the Qularr in one place but sadly civilians were trapped inside the field with the Qularr. Jimmy didn't know what to do but hide so he ducked into a nearby alley.

Jimmy ducked inside they alley and hid behind a dumpster hoping that he would be safe from the invading aliens. Jimmy was so scared that apparently he didn't feel a "Firebug" land on the back of his neck its giant needle-like horn and jabbed it inside Jimmy's neck injecting him with a poison that caused him to pass out. Jimmy's unconscious body was retrieved by the Logistical Emergency Assistance Foundation (LEAF) and was taken to one of their makeshift clinics where he quickly recovered and got well again. Jimmy was transported back home to his Aunt Alicia and they were told to stay indoors until this invasion is over. After a whole 24 hours The Champions made a public service announcement saying that the Qularr are retreating and Earth is safe. Everyone cheered so loud it could be heard from outside everyone except Jimmy whose neck started to feel like it was set on fire.

Becoming a School Journalist

James Tyler A.K.A Bugg, has been through a lot in his new career as a costumed crime-fighter and has been coming up with a lot of poor excuses for why he seems to disappear when a fight between Bugg and another super-powered foe unfolds. James has decided to become a journalist for his school, James knew that even though a school journalist usually prints articles about school-related topics like sports, clubs, etc. but recently James' school at Westside High has promoted that the kids may print articles relating to superhuman activity as long as they remain monitored by law-enforcement of any kind, that was James thought that being a journalist can make a perfect cover-up for his strange disappearances.

James and the rest of students have thought of the winged avenger known as, Bugg as the school's hero and protector and luck James he seemed to be a perfect fit for reporting any of his actions with superhumans due to him being always being a "Bugboy". James immediately accepted the position being that it would easy for him to report Bugg's latest activities in Millennium City (being that James is actually the masked insect, Bugg). That was when James became a school journalist, reporting super-powered activities in Millennium City especially those caused/or prevented by Bugg.

New Suit

Bugg has made his mark in the world by getting tiny articles and pictures in recent issues of SuperWorld! magazine and in the Westside High school newspaper. James Tyler A.K.A Bugg overheard many students and friends say its time for Bugg to change his costume saying his old one looks: "ugly" James refused to let these comments get to him and continued to wear the old outdated suit his first appeared in.

James one day heard a ARGENT roaming the parking lot of Dynamic Labs stealing weapons and equipment, suiting up James now Bugg springs into action and fends off the ARGENT agents. Bugg is outnumbered and outgunned but refuses to be defeated and uses his insectile powers and fire manipulation to defeat all the ARGENT agents however a Cyborg corners Bugg and ambushes him with gunfire and explosives which completely obliterates Bugg's costume, he manages to deactivate the Cyborg and flee the scene before the cops come and realizes that he really is gonna need a new suit.

Bugg: A Blast From the Past!

On a warm Saturday afternoon, James Tyler a.k.a Bugg is enjoying a usual fly around Millennium City as The Insectile Bugg and so far everything seems to be going great; no homework, no school, no problems or crimes to stop, just a relaxing fly through Millennium City. Elsewhere in the year 2026, an adult version, 26 year old version of Bugg has beaten his nemesis, Halloween yet again and prepares to turn him in to the police so he can be put back under lock and key, but Halloween has grown tired of constantly losing to Bugg many times and now plans to stop this once and for all by traveling back in time to Bugg's teenage years and plans on killing him prior to him even getting his insect powers and within a matter of seconds a giant flash goes off and Halloween disappears.

Halloween lands in the year 2014, but realizes that the stolen time traveling device he stole from the crazed mechanic, Juryrig sent him back in time but sent him back to when James had already acquired his powers and became Bugg, but it no longer matters as long as Bugg is erased from today's timeline he will cease to exist in the future. Back in 2026 adult Bugg gets some help from Juryrig to use his time portal to send him back to 2014 and stop Halloween from killing his younger self, its only a matter of time before Juryrig hot-wires his time portal and has it set for 2014 and ready for older Bugg to use. Later Younger Bugg is then knocked out of the sky and falls down near a construction site where he meets face-to-face with his older self and after taking a few minutes to hear the older version of him out they later team-up to stop Future Halloween while the Mad Bomber himself eyes the two's conversation from a nearby rooftop and then sets out to find the Younger Halloween and team-up with him to make it a fair fight.

Future Halloween and Younger Halloween soon come to an agreement to help each other take out the Buggs and then set course for a battle royale in Downtown, Millennium City. The four Future and Current versions of the heroes and villains go toe-to-toe and wind up destroying half of downtown, nearly blowing up the mall shopping center but Future and Current Bugg eventually wind and put Current Halloween back in prison and Past Halloween back under arrest and ready to be sent back to the future along with Future Bugg, using the stolen Time Mini-Disk that Future Halloween stole Older Bugg and Halloween go back to their timeline while a suspicious being watches from the shadows as a new insectoid character's fable is unraveled from the Bugg-Verse after our strange-but-unique visitors return back home.

A Critter Emerges

Upon the future versions of Bugg and Halloween return back to the future, Bugg starts receiving psychic flashes of another girl around his age with the same powers as him and this "flashes" are giving Bugg annoying and painful headaches so painful that he visits Dr. Silverback and he diagnoses that Bugg's "Bugg-Sense" is auto-attuning itself with someone with a similar power set as him after performing an x-ray of Bugg's brain it was realized that it would always activate at the same time when he would receive his psychic visions.

This was when Bugg learned that he can use his Bugg-Sense as a radar and pinpoint the exact location of where this other "bugg" was. He or she was being held captive by ARGENT in a special containment facility which Bugg fought through single-handedly and freed the subject known as, "Critter" whose real name was Celina Patterson and she didn't take it too kindly being locked up for over a since the Qularr Invasion. Bugg had finally realized that Dr. Silverback was right and he was able to realize she possessed Qularr powers as well and she was way faster then him and was able to keep up with him when it came to hand-to-hand fighting. Bugg eventually came to reason with Celina and revealed himself to her as James Tyler and she winds up feeling a strong attraction to him and she doesn't know why except for the fact of thanking him by planting a sloppy, wet french kiss on him.

James and Celina then start dating and Celina goes over her powers and finds out her abilities are far more superior to James and she could potentially be the next Bugg if James every grows tired of the mantle. James and Celina then debut as the duo team named, Bugg and Critter and this sprung media fire across many tabloids and newspapers. Celina eventually starts attending the same school as James and reveals that she was abducted by the Qularr during the whole invasion and was experimented on to the point where she developed powers and escaped but was eventually recaptured, this time by ARGENT and put in a superhuman prison where she took more time to learn how to use her powers and remained there for about a year until James recently freed her and thanks him. This then starts a new age of justice for the two lovebirds that have now come to be known as, Bugg and Critter.

Powers and Abilities

• Superhuman Strength: Jimmy's insect physiology allows him to lift up to 10 tons and throw things that are quite bigger then him with ease.

• Superhuman Speed: Not at fast as a speedster but Jimmy can run at a the pace of that of an Olympic track runner.

• Superhuman Agility: Quite rare in Qularr history, Jimmy has the agility of a cat making him quite untouchable.

• Superhuman Durability: Bugg's durability is probably the best thing about him. Bugg is capable of being thrown through a wall and walk it off likes its nothing. He once took a punch from the Omicron-powered Ripper and barely had his ribs broken as well as walked it off with only a minor bruise which healed in about 24 hours.

• Superhuman Stamina: As a side-effect of the Firebug venom, Bugg can physically exert himself for a full 24 hours until fatigue from certain toxins and poisons begin to set in.

• Superhuman Flexibility: Bugg's flexibility rivals that of a gymnast's. He can achieve and pose imaginable and even squeeze through the tightest of spaces, except those that only a mouse can fit through.

• Superhuman Equilibrium: Bugg possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow. He has developed a unique fighting style that made full use of his agility, strength, and equilibrium.

• Superhuman Leaping Ability: Much like a grasshopper, Bugg can jump at tremendous heights. This is done by Bugg using his power of Superhuman Strength to push against the ground and perform and mighty leap.

• Form of the Insect: Bugg has developed a unique fighting by combining his superhuman strength, agility, equilibrium to best his opponents in hand-to-hand combat. He has bested Shinryoku, Master of the Burning Chi technique by using his unique fighting style thus thanks to the intelligent mind of Shinryoku he named it, Form of the Insect.

• Fire Manipulation: After being stung by the Firebug in the alley that day gave Jimmy the ability to control fire. Bend it, Project it, and Control it

• Flight: With the help of his retractable wings, Jimmy can fly at supersonic speeds.

• Wall-Crawling: Jimmy has little prick-like spikes on the palms of his hands which allow him to crawl on walls. But this requires complete concentration or he could fall.

• Regenerative Healing Factor: Jimmy's new powers allow him to heal at a super fast rate, he can heal from bullet wounds in under 2 seconds. He has difficulty regenerating from plasma and particle-based damage, but other than that Bugg can heal from wounds within 24 hours.

• Enhanced Hearing: Jimmy has expert hearing since the Qularr lack the perfect eyesight to see everything but using their advanced hearing as substitutes. Bugg's hearing is so great he can hear through solid concrete walls to hear the cry of a restrained woman as displayed on one crime patrol with Wheelman.

• Retractable Claws: Much like a cat Jimmy has retractable claws which he uses as an offense weapon.

• Hyper-Vision: For when his danger-sense is on the fritz. Bugg possesses a "Hyper-Vision" that allows him to slow down time (through his eyes) and quickly evade attacks. The only limitation is someone, or the attacker has to be in front of Bugg in order for this power to work, but due to Bugg's enhanced hearing he is capable of turning around quick if an attack came from behind.

• Bugg-Sense: Bugg possesses a danger-sense that allows him to evade danger in a matter of seconds. Tiny hairs cover his body and when they sense a threat they send an impulse to Bugg's brain telling him to dodge that surprise attack.

• Genius-level Intellect: James is very smart for being only 15 years old. As Bugg, James has created the "Bugbots" accidentally by just playing around with some components he found in his grandma's basement and he has also enhanced the effects of the Hex-Shield by also making it extremely resilient against missiles and energy blasts.

• Accelerated Metabolism: Bugg being that he is a hybrid between human and Qularr he possesses an Accelerated Metabolism that makes him immune to strange pheromones, toxins, and poisons and if not immune, at least renders him un-phased by certain toxins until fatigue begins to set it.

• Understanding Qularr Knowledge and Language: Seeing how Bugg is half Qularr now he can understand all Qularr knowledge such as their weaponry and understand and speak their fellow language.

Former Power(s)

• Symbiotic Exoskeleton: Jimmy also has a retractable exoskeleton which enables him to be invulnerable against bullets and lasers, but not completely invulnerable. Recently lost this power due to low blood sugar making it incapable of ever creating the exoskeleton again.

Weaknesses

• Insecticides: Ironically possessing the physiology of an insect has its disadvantages. One is that Jimmy is vulnerable to pesticides like RAID! this can severely weaken him and possibly kill him. Since most people wouldn't expect this as a weakness its unknown to most and never worries about a villain armed with a can of bug spray on them

• Qularr-Cide: Thanks to Bugg's half-Qularr DNA he is vulnerable to this special chemical that is hazardous to the Qularr.

• Secret Identity: One of Bugg's TRUE weaknesses. Bugg wears a full mask for reason as much as he love to wear a cowl for when a lovely lady were to lay a smooch across his lips, he can't. If his identity were to be revealed he would be devastated. His friends and family would know who he was and he was blamed responsible for the death of a friend's parents.

• Lack in Self-Confidence: Bugg maybe willing to help and protect others but secretly his true weakness is lack in self-confidence believing that he doesn't have a place in the hero world considering that most adults would say the same.
  

  

  Bugg using his Stick'em Powers to walk up a wall

• Power-Dampeners: Power-Dampeners can completely/or temporarily dampen Bugg's alien DNA and leaving only the dormant human gene alive and active, rendering him powerless for the time being.

• Plasma and Particle Damage: Bugg's healing factor works at tremendous rates but when he is faced with laser swords or any use of plasma/and or particle attacks, it takes Bugg awhile to heal from these attacks. When he was first sliced with a laser sword of a VIPER agent it took 15-20 minutes for Bugg to heal from the attack since it left his skin boiling and blistering from the attack.

Equipment

• Set of Qularr Energy Pistols: Jimmy has a pair of Qularr Energy Pistols his keeps in a desk in his Grandma's basement. He rarely uses them due to vowing never carry or use a gun of any kind. Unless COMPLETELY necessary.

• Bugg Antennae: The Antennae on Bugg's cowl aren't just for design purposes but they have special psychic inhibitors which block off the use of mind control and hypnosis of most psychics and mentalists, these were built shortly after Bugg's run-in with PSI which left him with massive headaches and migraines he soon healed from.

• Cell Phone: Mainly used to keep in touch at home or with allies of any kind.

• Camera: Just in case an investigation comes up Jimmy carries a miniature camera in his utility belt.

• Bugbots: The Bugbots are a recent addition to Bugg's arsenal. These miniture heroes may be small but carry alot of firepower. They also monitor crime after hacking into the MCPD databases and now inform Bugg of crimes in progress through an earpiece built into his mask cowl.

• Camcorder: When out of costume, James Tyler carries a camcorder for any sorts of investigations that requires him to be "heroic" without the use of a insect-themed brown and tan costume.

• Holo-Hex "Honeycomb" Shield: Bugg recently acquired an energy shield from a crate of VIPER weaponry in Westside. The shield is labeled and branded as "Holo-Hex" Energy Shield, which Bugg often calls the "Honeycomb" shield, due to it being composed of 12 or more holographic hexagons.

• Insect Armor: Bugg's Insect Armor was a gift from Franklin Carter after a battle with The Bull left his costume in shreds (again). Franklin provided Bugg a Flexium body-armored suit that would make him more resilient to small caliber bullets, lasers, and most kinds of physical damage as well as providing the armor a holographic wing pack for whenever Bugg can't use or loses his organic ones. The armor also, surprisingly, offers the same levels of durability as Bugg's Symbiotic Exoskeleton back when he still had it.

What can I say? I'm a genius - Bugg with his newly created Bugbots, Thorax (left) and Antennae (right)

The Sky Buggy

On a Tuesday night January 15th 2014, Bugg receives a call from PRIMUS that now is his time to prove himself as a superhero and is given permission to go to Monster Island. Monster Island is the "savage land" of man-animal hybrids that roam the plains of special island thats located not far from Asia, their creator is no other than Dr. Moreau, a mad-man that infuses human DNA into animal test subjects and thus causes the creation of many monstrosities that need to be contained, the alien race known as the Qularr have also been camping out north of the island on an isolated beach where they work on their flea-shaped ships and start working on numerous experiments and devices. Bugg is given a special PRIMUS-issue "Grav-Bike" that he can use for quick transportation which is faster than his "bug wings". The bike is outfitted with a cloaking device, missiles, and force fields. With this bike Bugg can always be on the prowl and vigilante ready to get to a crime in a speed of light.
