Vespula Sting has been sighted many times, starting from the winter of 2004. He openly talks with Public on his case matters, but never on personal points. The information we have on his beginnings is spotty at best, completely inaccurate at worst. The first confirmation or sighting of the Detective was in New Jersey, New Jersey. From this date onwards, his appearance in many drug ring busts and Organized Crime front raids became very commonplace to the New Jersey Police Department. Vespula's crimescene consulting for the New Jersey Police Department drew the eyes of several different sets of clients, some with losses in corporate crime.Opportunity Knocked, Accountant Answered
Vespula Sting's recent escapades have been anything but normal (if they ever were normal). Being ousted into a world of Meta-humans, crusading for Justice, Liberty and/or a thrill has made his life all the more dangerous. Vespula Sting contends with scientifically enhanced minds, mutated powerhouses of muscle, magically imbued sorcerers of terrible power, and every other average human striving for greatness through hard work and dedication. Suffice to say, he has finally made his way into the Heroic Community established on Earth.
The transition was hard. The change in situation was worse. Being a capable hand to hand combatant among normal men is of zero comfort working along side those that can crush vehicles under a whim. Neither is arriving to the correct conclusion after much debate and thought as the super genius you have currently agreed to help arrived at it nine minutes ago. The reality of Vespula's normalcy is a deafening notion, and also his most driving.
Vespula Sting, however, was not without a reputation. A detective by trade, an inspector at work - Vespula Sting moved to use what got him to the top. Not his 'power'. Not his brains. His resolve and pursuit for the truth, and nothing but. Hand in hand with his reputation and staying true to the skillset he has, he's become a member of Colosso's Eternals, Inc., working as an intelligence agent on the side. With his late nights and hard work paying off, Vespula Sting has become what he has sought most. One of the highest profile Detectives in the United States, and possibly the planet. Weather or not he can handle it, is a totally different problem.
Its not who you know, its what you know of who
Vespula Sting actively employs a suit, designed to look like a variety of bees and wasps, which also has the ability to refract light sources and become, for all intensive purposes, invisible to the naked eye. He calls it the Beesuit, which is aptly named. Currently, the Beesuit houses stealth systems, built in communications, a subdermal armor designed to stop fatal blows (up to a point), an intelligence system that guides the use of: Beerangs, in the field information requests, and vehicle control. Truly, if anything was to contribute to Vespula Sting the most, it would be his Beesuit.
Vespula Sting has access to several vehicles that he uses for a multitude of purposes. He currently has Three.
Vespula Sting's hoverbike, the Red Wasp. A powerful jet-bike, capable of breaking 190 MPH in the air, and more importantly... giving the Beeman some much needed firepower with twinlinked particle projection cannons, dual laser repeaters and full stealth capability.
Vespula Sting's riot vehicle. It was a gift from an arms-manufacturer for solving a case regarding their rigged to plummet stocks. A double turret ground-based anti-riot tank, it barely sees the light of day because of its contrast to Vespula's usual stealth operations.
Vespula Sting's long range jet, his primary use for transportation. Built to take a punch, equipped with two machine-guns loaded with rubberized pellets and flashbang rounds, its secondary use is a decoy in dangerous situations where Vespula Sting is exposed outdoors.
Numbers don't lie
Living as a man who dons a bee-themed suit to solve and fight crimes contributes to mental stress, or just takes an unique individual in the first place. Vespula Sting is a man of many diverse personality traits (while in the costume), that can be easily summed up.
Vespula Sting remarks on his self-image a lot. He regularly boasts about his good looks, intelligence, and overall superiority. This is intended as veiled sarcasm nearly all the time, however, Vespula Sting would have had to had the thought that either he is, or isn't, what he says in the first place for the thought to form.
Quips and puns abound, Vespula Sting's fieldwork is nearly always followed by witty banter, or better referred to as 'No thoughts censored'. The Beeman can often be found mocking current foes, reciting important points in a case to himself, referencing internet or general humor (referring to 'Jesus' as 'Beesus' constantly) and acting as if mysterious people are watching him and his comrades.
As with every human, Vespula Sting dislikes what he cannot answer or put an explanation to. The thought of a force that cannot be quantified by any known means (or rather, known to him) disturbs him. That does not deter him from persuing cases that have hints of magical influence, however.
Vespula Sting is inquisitive and curious down to his very core. Puzzles and mysteries greatly intrigue him. After all, that is why he has become a detective. However, this need of an tangled web of secrets borders on the obsessive compulsive. Without something for him to put his mind to, he becomes greatly agitated and hostile. Inactivity of the mind is something he has a great deal of trouble coping with.
Vespula Sting tosses Barbs with the best of them, only if those around him start chucking insults first, most of which circle back to his affection for Bees.
Vespula Sting, dealing with the game of information against terrorist organizations and supervillains alike, takes his secret identity quite seriously, and won't expose himself to possible danger unless the circumstances demand it.
Vespula Sting, for all intensive purposes... isn't widely known. Of course he is known to agencies such as PRIMUS, the FBI, CIA, and such because of his freelance information trading with them, but beyond that - nearly everyone on the street will ask "Who" and "Bee-what?"
High stakes and Adders
Vespula Sting is in the Spy game, on top of being a detective. In a world of superheroes and super-villains with the power to punch down buildings, the best defense is to leave no target - or aptly, not let your opponent know there is a target at all.A Man's Letters > A Man's Wallet
Vespula Sting's Allies
•The Frontiersmen - Vespula Sting is the Informationa and Control agent for the Frontiersmen. - Currently, anyways.
What you know over why you know it
Trivial things. Why a Beeman does what a Beeman does.
The Thing about Bees ...Yellowjackets, actually.
•Did you know... the word "Vespula" is a small social genus of northamerican wasps, commonly known as Yellowjackets? Therefore Vespula's name is technically incorrect as Yellowjackets do not own stingers but rather poisonious barbs, enabling repeated pierces or "stings".
•Did you know... assuming Yellowjackets consume nothing but nectar is silly? They actually adapted over the years to include powerful mandibles capable of tearing an insect apart to eat. This include honey-bees, which evolved to have a black and yellow coloring to mimic a Yellowjacket.
•Did you know... there is a Species of Wasp or Vespula in North America that reproduces by stinging a spider, paralyzing it, laying eggs in it's abdomen, flood it's neurons with a concoction that effectively mind controls said spider to weaving a egg with silk for it's parasites, is eaten from the inside out and has it's chitin act as an egg? Yes. Mind Control Bees are a real thing.
Rumor, Conjecture, Praise, Hate...What people say, really.
•A place to comment on a Bee.
"Vespula is a mentor to me. He's trained me and contributed to the betterment of myself. I owe a lot of success to him. Whether he knows it or not...whether he likes it or not...he's a hero to me, and a personal inspiration to always use my brain and be better. Thanks, bee man." - Stitch
"I met him three times, all of them i got impressed by his preparation on the matter we were to discuss or investigate... he even tossed completely useless info but he was sure that -nothing- was useless. Aside from his weirdness I believe he is one of the best I ever met, and i play this game from a long time." - Jericho
"Stingy don't like me, i know this. The reasons are many: my syllines, my powers he don't understand, my cat... i don't know why he refuse my help but i will never refuse his, i like his jokes and i am not even half of the hero he is" - Pulsar
"He does his job well." - Professor Smash
"Sting-Motion." - Stopmotion
