Personality
Powers, Skills, and Attributes
Powers
Growth/Kaiju - Since his involvement with an unknown VIPER genetics project, Barricade has the unusual superpower of induced body expansion. Unlike most, his rate of growth is much slower than most metahumans with this ability, but his upper limits are much greater. So far, his maximum height is recorded at 100.63 meters, or 330 feet 2 inches.
Superhuman Strength - Barricade’s physical strength is of a staggering magnitude. Upper limits are unknown, but he is shown to be capable of lifting in great excess of 1 kiloton. According to observations, his strength increases as he grows larger.
Superhuman Durability - Like his strength, Barricade’s physical resilience is staggering. Ballistics small arms are completely ineffective; the smallest ballistics weapons shown to produce even light damage are armour penetrating or explosive tank shells. However, energy weapons remain a proficient weapon in fighting him.
Skills
Gourmet Cooking - Partially a result of the recipes he learned from his mother, and over a century of experimentation, Gordon is a very, very good chef, and treats his cooking with pride.
Hand-to-Hand Combat Training - Gordon received some training in unarmed combat from friends who served in the US Armed Forces, which he used extensively in his years as a superhero.
Mathematics - Almost ironically, Gordon learned much of his math skills from his son, Albert. While not exactly a genius with it, he knows enough to get by in the average American living conditions.
Attributes
Physical Strength - Gordon’s race is naturally stronger and tougher than humans, by a significant margin. Before his genetic tampering, Gordon could lift up to almost 3 metric tons unaided.
Physical Durability - Gordon’s race is naturally stronger and tougher than humans, by a significant margin. Before his genetic tampering, Gordon’s hide was virtually immune to most ballistic small arms.
Gliding -Gordon’s wings do not function to allow flight in the traditional sense, due to his weight. Rather, they allow him to glide for short distances, before gravity takes over and he falls like a rock.
Relationships
Lover
Cannonade [Tarvanas Quartz] (@KalasEurthain)
Tarry is a recent addition to Gordon’s life, the two Vorel’thoth not really having known each other for much longer than a year. Regardless, it was love at first sight, and the two have formed and maintained a strong bond ever since.
Friends/Allies
Panzer [Albert Wagner] (@Albert_Wanger)
Gordon’s adopted son, Albert means almost everything to the lizard, and he’ll do anything for the boy (within reason).
Cassandra Armstrong (@Miles_Prower12)
A close friend of the family, Cassandra is someone Gordon is always happy to see, and he considers her practically family.
Cognatus
A non-human support group and superhero group, Gordon threw his lot in with them almost immediately upon discovering them.
Enemies
VIPER
Gordon abhors VIPER, and is willing to take whatever chance he gets to see them all in chains, or dead. Preferably dead.
Doctor Oskar Wagner
The mid-tier VIPER geneticist has been a thorn in Gordon’s side for years, and he will do whatever it takes to see the man’s head on a pike.

Tropes and Trivia
Tropes
- Our Dragons Are Different – Dragons from SPACE!
- The Big Guy/Mighty Glacier/Super Strength
- KAIJU – One of the biggest, too; and while he certainly enjoys it, it does have its draw backs.
- Person of Mass Destruction – This is not an exaggeration. Every part of him is capable of untold collateral damage, even when unintentional.
- Godzilla Threshold – Related to the above. This is the only time he’ll be on the field, if it can be helped. He’s simply so powerful, it’s usually FAR safer to keep him out of the action until it is absolutely necessary.
- One Kaiju Nuke
- Daddy Dragon – Don’t fuck with his son or his partner in front of him. Just don’t.
- Action Dad – He’s been a superhero since the 1960s, and is still in the fight.
- Family Super Team – Barricade, Cannonade, and Panzer. God help anyone stupid enough to take them altogether.
- Gentle Giant – Despite his appearance, viciousness in combat and overall lack of care for the lives of villains, Gordon is a legitimately friendly individual and a gentleman. In many cases, he is considered pleasant to have around in social circles.
- Good Is Not Soft – Similar to his risk of collateral, Gordon isn’t someone you want going after street muggers, or raiding drug nests. He’s downright merciless, and isn’t afraid to get creative with his “prey.”
Trivia
- Barricade was created while I was playing around with the character creator. He was literally a spur-of-the-moment thing.
- Gordon’s favourite drink is mead. It takes very little for him to get drunk.
- Gordon has eaten at least one of every land animal on North America since the early 1800s, and most kinds of fish. His favourite is pork; he hates bear.
- Barricade has wandered the majority of the American continents, and has lived on the move for over a century. He knows a lot about camping, and surviving in the wilderness with minimal resources readily available as a result.
- Having been raised in the early 1800s, and later meeting humanity as a whole in the 1960s, Gordon knows next to nothing about electronics, constantly needing a guide to get him through some of the simplest gadgets around.
- Barricade dislikes shirts, finding them an unpleasant pain to get on around his wings, and itchy to wear. As such, he's very likely not to be wearing any when at home.
