Background

FILE: PRE-INCIDENT

Dr. Thomas Payne is an Alumni of MIT University who studied Molecular Physics and graduated Summa Cum Laude with Honors in 2011. Not only was he the most brilliant mind in the entire school he was also the university's most prominent student athlete, Captain of the schools boxing team and a Qualifier for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Word got out to Viper that MIT just graduated one of the most brilliant Molecular scientists the world has ever seen with this in mind they then created a plot to kidnap him to assist with the progression of their Omicron and Draysha technologies. On the way to London with his teammates Marlen Esparza, Rau'Shee Warren, Joseph Diaz Jr., Queen Underwood, Jose Ramirez, Jamel Herring, Errol Spence Jr., Claressa Shields, Marcus Browne, Michael Hunter, Dominic Breazeale, and Thomas' replacement Terrell Gausha the plane was hijacked by Vipers Air Troopers. Though the plane safely landed in England later that day Viper still accomplished their mission of obtaining Thomas as well as deleting all records of his existence from all the computer systems in the world.

Since his kidnapping Dr. Payne has either been forced to lead or assist with the technologies at multiple Viper Nests such as the various ones in Canada, helping with the development in Pre-Cogs technology ,as well as the Nest located on Monster Island, were he has helped further the progression of the Draysha Venom as well as Omicron Tech. During his years in captivity Dr. Payne has been apart of the team of scientists directly involved with the development of Viper's Omicron technology, as well as fellow captive Doctor Park Lee-Wen from North Korea who with the state of the art lab provided by Viper has made all variants of VIPER's energy weapons - Photonic, Plasma, and Pulson, now deal significantly more damage in standard fire modes. He has also worked with the deranged Doctor Phillippe Moreau who is responsible for the Draysha Venom. Though he learned and improved many of his skills his time as a Captive was gruesome and in-humane which lead his to training hard every night to aid him with his plan to escape.

FILE: POST-INCIDENT

Two years have passed as Thomas slaved away in captivity, when on one faithful day UNTIL's Special Operations unit lead by their commander Kyle Eckhardt, happened to carry out a raid operation on the Vipers Nest in Monster's Island where Thomas was currently being held which resulted in the emancipation of Dr. Payne and a handful of other kidnapped scientists from the clutches of the diabolical Viper.
Upon his return to society Dr. Payne pledged that he will do everything in his power to prevent Viper and others like them from doing that to anyone ever again. As a result and with the help of Harmon Labs and its scientist and hours upon end of back breaking work they developed their own version of an Omicron suit with the knowledge he gained from his work with viper. After its completion they all decided that Thomas would be the best fit for piloting the suit due to his naturally reflexes and strength as a boxer and his science know-how. Now dawning the Omicron tech that drove The Ripper insane the immense strength was toned down a great deal so his mind would be able to handle the suit and have complete control. Dr. Thomas Payne now goes by the name OVERLOAD and continues to fight for........JUSTICE!!!

Endless nights were spent to perfect Viper's Omicron technology and after sacrificing some of the suits strength they finally gained a way to give the pilot full control leading to the final product.

Personality

FILE: PAYNE'S PSYCHE

Thomas is an intellectual who prefers to examine foes which he used during his boxing matches to find a weakness in his opponent while fighting them. He is often intrigued by the scientific implications of a problem, so much so that he almost forgets there is a problem in the first place. Thomas is an extremely likable fellow who keeps a pleasant smile on his face. However, he does occasionally lapse into depression over long-standing unsolved problems.Thomas suffered severe trauma inflicted by Viper during his time as their captive, and repressed it in his subconsciousness. Because Payne's mind is incredibly complex, the original trauma associated with the event is sometimes triggered during his exposure to the Omicron Suits injections but thankfully due to his intellect he can suppress it still giving him full control while dawning the Overload suit.

Equipment

FILE: OMICRON EXOSUIT

The Omicron suit was developed by Dr. Payne and a team of UNITY scientist based off the Omicron technology of Viper. It includes elastic electrofoam tights and an exoskeleton that injects Thomas' spine arms and legs to feed his body the classified chemicals involved with Omicron. The outside layer of the suit is comprised of a highly complex matrix of molecularly-aligned fully crystallized ultra high carbon iron/steel hybrid alloy enhanced by magnetic fields over layers of other ultra hyper alloys like titanium alloy and or tungsten/vanadium alloys reinforced with carbon nano-tubes creating a shell that is pliable, yet capable of amazingly high resilience and protection.

FILE: JET PACK H202-Z

The H202-Z can typically reach speeds in excess of Mach 10, however Overload has been recently depicted as able to reach orbital escape velocities (5 miles per second) and up to speeds that can outrun black holes. Use of the jet pack provides enough power to lift a load of about 500 tons (which comes in handy since Overload weights a tremendous amount when the suit is on).

Powers

FILE: TRANSFORMATION

Left: Omicron suit on, Right: Omicron suit off

The process by which Thomas transforms into Overload is the result of the chemical catalyst, Omicron inside his Omicron Exosuit enhancing his adrenal output. As in normal human beings, Payne's adrenal medulla secretes large amounts of adrenaline in time of fear, rage, or stress, which hormonally stimulates the heart rate, increases blood-sugar levels, and inhibits sensations of fatigue. Whereas the secretion heightens normal physical abilities in normal human beings, in Overload case it triggers (along with turning the suits Omicron trigger on)the complex chemical-extra-physical process that transforms his body into the bulky presence of Overload. The total time of transformation falls anywhere between seconds to five minutes, depending on the initial adrenaline surge and amount of Omicron used, which will be determined by the original stimulus. Soon after the transformation, the amount of adrenalin in Overload will return to more normal, reduced levels. When Overload transforms back into Dr. Payne, the excess muscle mass and energy is lost, presumably to the same place he derives it.

FILE: BOXING TRAINING

Training for the 2012 Olympics in the MIT boxing facility

Overload fits into a category of boxer called 'boxer-puncher', which is a hybrid style used to describe fighters who possess good all-around boxing/punching skills and capabilities. They possess the technical skill and grace of an out-boxer and also the devastating power of a slugger. Boxer-punchers usually do well against out-boxers, especially if they can match their speed and mobility. Their only downfall are the big sluggers because once again, it only takes one punch and the lights are out. This would depend on the boxer-puncher's defense, chin, and mobility. They make for interesting fights and throw a sense of the unknown into some. Where a boxer-puncher is matched up against an out-boxer, the fight is great because depending on the style the boxer-puncher tries to use in the fight. Boxer-punchers are often hard to categorize since they can either be closer in style to a slugger or a boxer.

FILE: SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH

Omicron suit gives Thomas Superhuman Strength

Overload possesses the capacity for virtually limitless physical strength. Overload's immeasurable strength is directly proportional to the level of chemicals the Omicron suit unleashes into Thomas' body. Thomas subconsciously restrains the suit's full potential because he quantifies and measures the external variables so that the suit would never make him loose control and hurt anyone. However, if the suppression of Payne's restrictions occurs, the suit itself can neutralize this limitation.






FILE: SUPERHUMAN DURABILITY

Overload's body possesses a high degree of resistance to physical injury. Overload has survived tremendous amount of punishment throughout his career. Overload's suit is impervious to conventional blades, Kendrium and Questionite being among the few metals that are capable of piercing his suit. Qverload was even able to excerpt Adhesive's and acid from his entire body without any injury. This invulnerability extends to the optic system since bullets, grenade shrapnel, arrows, and even enchanted blades do not penetrate nor damage it. Overload is able to withstand high caliber bullets, powerful energy blasts, pressures extremes, falls from orbital heights, maximized heat without blistering, maximized cold without freezing, and also powerful impacts. Overload has withstood several times the impact of ground zero nuclear explosions Phoenix's Nova Blast, with a maximum temperature of one million degrees Fahrenheit, and the crushing pressures of 100Gs without suffering any damage or harm. Overload was also capable to withstand a planet-devastating impact, a planet-shattering impact at point blank range. Overload's durability, much like his strength, is fueled by rushes of the chemicals the suit injects into Thomas.

FILE: SUPERHUMAN LEAPING ABILITY

Overload Leaping across downtown

Overload is able to use his highly developed leg muscles to leap great distances. As Overload receives more output from him suit, his strength increases considerably, which means he can jump farther than usual. Overload has transposed 1,000 miles with a single leap, and he jumped on top of the Mount Olympus from ground level, in a single leap. On more than one occasion, Overload has nearly jumped into the Earth's orbit. Overload also shows incredible precision with his ability to aim his jumps and landings. He grabbed missiles on multiple occasions and landed on islands barely visible from the height he fell from. Overload's super leap has also been measured as reaching 473 mph.

FILE: OMICRON ENERGY MANIPULATION

Overload unleashing Omicron molecules creating a shield

Overload possesses at least a limited ability to manipulate forms of energy, particularly Omicron radiation. Overload's body suit's like a "omicron battery" by creating and radiating omicron energy. Overload also generates massive amounts of omicron energy, and produced considerable quantity used to make shields. Overload has also shown the ability to redirect rays unleashed towards him. The extent that Overload controls his own omicron radiation, and extrinsic sources of omicron radiation, has yet to be established.

Weaknesses

FILE: ADRENALINE AND OMICRON SUPPRESSION

Adrenaline and Omicron inhibitors can be administered via syrings of kendrium and questionite, objectifying to revert the transformation into Overload. Amplified quantities can accomplish this purpose successfully.

FILE: KENDRIUM AND QUESTIONITE BLADES

They have been shown capable of piercing Overload's suit. However, as Overload's chemical input increases they become progressively more ineffective, reaching the stage they are completely inefficient to harm him.

FILE: GAS INHALATION

Great doses of gas can temporarily detain Overload. However, it's not an insurmountable obstacle, since Overload can dissipate the gas from his face with the activation of his gas mask.

FILE: STRENGTH INCREASING FACTOR

Overload normally doesn't achieve full strength in the first moments after his transformation. Unless there is a substantial and significant event that breaks Payne's restraints and triggers far superior amounts of adrenaline and Omicron chemicals in his circulatory system causing him to loose control.

FILE: MAGIC

Depending upon his state, and the power magnitude of the magic manipulator, this could be a potential threat. Also, Overload has been shown to be injured more easily by enchanted weapons than regular weapons.

FILE: EXTREME CONDITIONS

Finally, he can be hurt or even killed by cosmic entities or individuals with similar extraordinary level of power, and under some conditions be psychically manipulated by exceptionally powerful telepaths.
