Captain Collider
American
Once a brilliant but frail physicist with understandable self-esteem issues, Herschel Quark's life was changed forever when a freak accident caused him to fall into a highly experimental particle collider mid-collision. Though he should have been killed by all accounts, an unknown variable caused the hyper accelerated particles to destroy and reconstruct Herschel's body, merging with his physiology at a subatomic level. The result was a radically altered Herschel, capable of crudely manipulating the very particles that make up the universe itself. Imbued with power beyond his wildest imagination, Herschel vowed to use it responsibly in keeping with his pacifistic beliefs and became Captain Collider, the immeasurable Man of Molecules!
A gentle, reserved soul at heart, Captain Collider considers himself a scientist and human being first and a superhero second, always prioritising thought and diplomacy over unnecessary violence and confrontation. Though his levelheadedness may make him a hero among heroes, however, his idealistic pacifism occasionally borders on naivete. Still, with the potential for absolute power constantly present within him, Captain Collider strives every day to ensure it doesn't corrupt him absolutely.
