Out of costume, Marcel is an exemplar of sprinter fitness, standing at 5'8. His light green eyes stand out against his dark skin, his face angular with well looked after Cornrows atop his head. His choice of clothing is usually that of button up shirts and pants, rocking the bis-casual look.
+
Field interactions with the vigilante "Adapto" have shown him to be a to-the-point character with a sort of unaware smugness which Silver Avenger Liam Heckler described as "somewhat aggravating" to work with. This is perhaps not an unearned trait, as his assistance in crisis' has proven to be invaluable - see the Collier Incident in California. Registered hero -- noted that Adapto had a rather volatile mood, displaying mood swings but with a self-awareness of their occurence, leading to them being somewhat more restrained but still evident, and occasional lapses into a dangerous apathy.  
  
−
As Adapto, Marcel's appearance takes a rather drastic change. His arms and legs reveal their cybernetic nature, the arms somewhat disproportional in comparison to the rest of his body. His eyes change from the green on white to an intense black, only glowing red pupils remain. From his eyes comes the red HUD that remains on while he heroes it up. Adapto's costume is mostly blues and grey/silver.
+
He appears content to allow law enforcement and sanctioned individuals handle the end result of situations, and has shown to at the very least not leap to lethal solutions to problems involving sentient beings. For these reasons, PRIMUS considers vigilante "Adapto" an acceptable partner to work with, although threat assessment is ongoing.

Marcel is without a doubt an optimist. Nothing can keep him down for long, even maintaining his jolly outlook when in a fight. He melds in well with social circles of all types when he is at school, one of the 'popular' kids who branches out. From sports to the science crew, you'll be hard pressed to find someone who does not enjoy having Marcel around at Grace Memorial. While friendly, he is definitely overly confident in himself. Years of praise and his ability to excel and seemingly anything have pampered his ego. While large, it can take a step back when a situation requires it, especially while acting as Adapto.

Born in April 1994, Marcel is the younger sibling his brother, Tyrone, born in '88. He has had a rather normal childhood, up until recently. He was pressured by his father to do well academically and felt the need to excel physically due to his brother, who had proven to be adept at most forms of sport. Marcel delivered on both fronts, to say the least. Picking up sprinting and football when he was 9 and proving he was a very quick learner, he was on track to becoming the successful man his father wished him to be.
+
Adapto appears to have put extensive work into maintaining the secrecy of his background and funding, making it difficult for PRIMUS to acquire adequate and reliable information. Investigation ongoing.
−
 
+
−
Age 14, Marcel is caught in an explosion inside of his fathers car workshop. His arms, legs and back are the worst hit, heated metal cutting through his arms at high speeds, a pole ramming through his thigh and the other leg caught by the fire along with his back, Marcel should have died in the fire. His brother, however, braved the hazards and retrieved Marcel from the ruined workshop. Marcel was rushed to hospital and his father fell into despair. Over the next few months, Marcel's father toiled endlessly to help his son, eventually constructing what would be the base for Marcel's cybernetics in the future. What came next was a year of rehabilitation for the now-cyborg Marcel. This was where Marcel decided that normality was out of the window. At age 16, he could run faster, jump higher and punch harder than any boy his age, thanks to his cybernetics. He wanted to become a hero.
+
−
 
+
−
Of course his father did not approve, having been a hero once upon a time but he did help Marcel towards his goal. Opening a business aimed towards household cybernetics, Marcel's father created the limbs he would be using in the future while teaching his son about cybernetics. Two years later, Marcel ventured out into the world of heroes, calling himself Adapto. No matter what the situation threw at him, he felt he could over come it.

='''''<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #606096">Exploits and Activity</div>'''''=
+
−
*'''Renegades vs Punks- ''' Operating on a solo basis up until this point, Adapto teamed up with several other teen heroes, among them [[Devil Ray]], [[Soldier Boy]], [[Velocity II]] and [[Wavegirl]]. They fought a group of young criminals and emerged mostly victorious, a bank being destroyed in the process.
+
−
 
+
−
*'''The Young Renegades- ''' Not too long after the bank incident, Marcel is phoned by [[Soldier Boy]] regarding some sort of group. Marcel is then given the Young Renegades communication frequency.
+
−
 
+
−
*'''Don't Diss Destroyer- ''' It is no secret that Marcel sees Dr. Destroyer as a sort of idol in regards to his technology, but during the recent Destroid invasion Marcel got a bit -too- curious about Dr. Destroyer for his own good. Attempting to track the teleportation frequency for the Destroids, Marcel is tracked himself by automated systems. The building his father owns is seiged by Destroids and Marcel almost killed, were it not for the help of [[Velocity II]] and [[Wavegirl]] who saved him. Although brutally beaten, this did not stop Marcel from admiring Destroyer's work. Over the next day, he observed and analysed the Destroid remains before disposing of them.
+
−
 
+
−
*'''Adapto vs The Armourer- ''' With the relative calm following the end of the invasion, Adapto took this chance to build and study. This time of quiet was broken, as the HomCyb building came under attack by a colossal power armor. Blowing its way to the experimental cybernetics section, it took what it came for and began to leave. Outside waited Adapto. They exchanged introductions, the power armored man calling himself 'Armourer' and they fought. The Armourer suit was vastly more powerful than Adapto's limbs, nearly beating Adapto to a pulp before Marcel finally managed to find an opening to take back what was stolen. Moments later, Marcel's father appeared with a rather large weapon, firing an arc of energy at the Armourer, causing it to retreat. Two times in two months the building had been attacked.
+
−
 
+
−
*'''Armiger Showdown- ''' Weeks after the Armourer incident, limps now upgraded, Adapto intercepted a police transmission. The Armiger Company is a nation-wide armament manufacturer and a rival business to Home Cybernetics. Its Millennium City building had been attacked by a single man and bombs had been placed. Despite the history of Armiger with Adapto's father, he moved in ahead of the authorities. The whole situation seemed off from the second Adapto entered the building. Not a soul inside, everything clean. No one had been there since yesterday. It was not long before Adapto encountered the first trap. Remote detonations went off behind Adapto, sealing off the exit, small explosions rocking the lobby. Adapto was trapped in the Armiger building, the windows having been sealed long before he arrived. For hours, Adapto went through each level of the large skyscraper, avoiding rather quirky explosive traps and timed puzzles. Adapto was not out of his element though. This was a battle of mind rather than brawn, and that is what he was best at. Navigating the entire building until he reached the roof, he saw his quarry. A man with a monstrous mask, dressed with a green hood and tights. Exchanging taunts, they fought. Adapto had the strength edge, but his enemy had the skill and range advantage, unloading his sub-machine gun at Adapto, a few shots skipping his cybernetics, and one grazing his flesh. When Adapto gained the upper hand, his enemy was not unprepared. Explosions rocked the ground below Adapto, the roof falling through into the floor below it. Adapto looked up, his enemy standing on some sort of rocket glider. The technology was familiar to him. Armiger tech. The unknown terrorist fled, leaving Adapto to return the ground floor. This was not over.
+
−
 
+
−
*'''Tiny Adventure- ''' Adapto was taken into the Microverse and held captive until the [[Young Renegades]], with the help of Adapto's AI, entered and saved him.
+
−
 
+
−
*'''Grim Situation- ''' Similar to the much earlier bank incident, Adapto responded to a supposed bank robbery along side [[Victory]], [[Wavegirl]] and [[Powerbolt]]. They arrived to only initially find the villain-in-training, Black Spot, in front of the bank. After a brief explanation as to what the situation was, her fellow budding villains known as Monster and Thunderstruck appeared. The Renegades fought the three, Adapto taking on Monster alongside Victory, before the fight came to an end as Powerbolt nearly loses control, brought back a safe level with the help of Thunderstruck. The groups parted on calmer terms.

−
*'''Genius:''' Adapto's ability to simply think of something and then make it is absurd. While his vast (and growing) intelligence is the corner stone of his character, it has proven to come with its own set of problems.
+
*'''Genius:''' Formerly tentative. Proven after more in depth interaction with vigilante Adapto. Displays an aptitude towards long-term planning and strategy, but specializes in multiversal superscience and cybernetics - see Collier Incident.
  
−
*'''Judo:''' When Marcel first became Adapto, he had no clue how to fight other than to swing his fists. On the advice of [[Whisper (Amelia Hawkins)]], he took up some martial arts class, mainly Judo due to its flexibility. He's still very much an amateur, but his cybernetics helps compensate a little.
+
*'''Adaptive Fighting:''' Movements in close combat imply a base in boxing and judo, but for the most part it appears improvised. Suspected computer assistance with deciding movements.  
  
−
*'''Boxing:''' Using Judo as a mostly defensive way of fighting, he uses boxing as his offensive. His father, using his combat skills during his time as a hero, teaches Adapto how to punch peoples teeth out every now and then.
+
*'''Sovereign of his Body:''' Cybernetics have displayed degrees of immunity to technopathy.
−
 
+
−
*'''Adaptive Fighting:''' He does not stick to using just Judo and boxing as his ways of fighting. He'll rather willingly go off routine in order to fight an enemy, using moves that generally are just off the top of his head rather than part of any martial art. It's what he does best.
+

−
*'''Extensive Cybernetics:''' Adapto's body is roughly 50% cybernetic, allowing him to move faster and hit harder than the average person. His eyes are also cybernetic, linked with the AI 'gifted to him by a friend of his father'. The AI, Aristotle, analyses the combat situations Adapto finds himself in and readies plans for possible improvements to his cybernetics.
+
*'''Extensive Cybernetics:''' Evident. Exact details and capabilities unknown, but they have displayed immense strength, speed and durability while also capable of high-powered energy emission.
 +
 
 +
*'''Charge Cannisters:''' Adapto carries cannisters that contain a glowing blue liquid. Upon inserting into the pack on his back (which seems to act as a connecting point for his cybernetics), the effectiveness of his cybernetics increases greatly for a short period of time. This includes general capabilities (strength & speed) and energy capabilities (blasts etcetera). When the effect fades, Adapto's limbs are left at 50% less effectiveness of their usual effectiveness for a period of time.

−
*'''Aristotle:''' Adapto's pride and joy. Aristotle is a hyper-intelligent AI with semi-sentience. Aristotle is actually much more sentient that it lets on, but it would never allow his maker to know such. Aristotle is by all means Adapto's partner when it comes to his projects. Its 'prime directive' is to analyse combat data and develop upgrades for Adapto's limbs. Aristotle is a bit rude, according to the accounts of those who have met it. As to how Adapto managed to make such an advanced AI is a secret.
 
  
−
*'''The Ultra Mass Atom Displacter (The UMAD):'''Utilizing the power of the Atomica particle discovered in the 70s, the UMAD acts as a transportation device to the Microverse. The UMAD was one of Adapto's first major accomplishments of science, creating a 'door' to another universe. However, it has been shown that the UMAD can be manipulated to activate from the other side of this door.
+
Investigation ongoing

−
*'''Shanker & Quaker:''' They are the Tiny Robotic Ongoing Naggers (TRONs) and they make sure to liver up to the title. The small, mischievous robots were Adapto's first attempts at dabbling in AI and robotics. While mostly harmless, their names do give insight into their functions. Shanker is equipped with a wrist mounted vibro-blade, roughly the size of a combat knife and Quaker can create tiny earthquakes with its arm attachments. Adapto treats them as they act, like small children. He often has them shut down unless he needs extra (tiny) hands around the workshop.
+
−
 
+
−
*'''The Ultragate:''' When Adapto was given the challenge by his teammates to work out the blueprints to an incredibly advanced piece of technology, he rose to it. Days of studying, trial and error revealed the blueprints to be the plans to a teleporter of some kind. Over the course of two days, Adapto did his best to replicate the blueprints with what he had, succeeding with a bit of help from Riptide, All-Star and Greymist Wanderer. The Ultragate cannot yet teleport anything, but it is a work in progress.
+
−
 
+
−
*'''The God Forge:''' A large room under Adapto's workshop. It is dedicated to testing and pushing limits. The God Forge is able to recreate the temperatures within a volcano and Siberian winter nights, increase/lower gravity and test strength with hundreds of weight options.

−
*'''Just a Man:''' While his cybernetics do give him an edge, Marcel is only a boy at the end of the day, born from a human mother and father. He can be hurt just like any other.  
+
As is the case with many supergenius metahumans, investigation is ongoing as to Adapto's threat level. While he has not displayed any intent to go rogue, the potential is there. Tentatively rated as a state-level threat.
  
−
*'''EMP:''' Marcel's cybernetics, while partially shielded to disruption, are not absolutely protected from electromagnetic weaponry. A strong enough pulse can disable his vision and movement.  
+
*'''Just a Man:''' Adapto is a human past the cybernetics. Keep this in mind.  
  
−
*'''Overwhelming Intelligence:''' It's what separates him from his team mates and most other heroes, his brain. Unfortunately for Marcel, his great intelligence and knowledge results in him often feeling incredibly alienated. All he can do is try to remain 'normal'.
+
*'''Emotionally Unstable:''' Noted above in section 1. Mood is turbulent at best, possibly bipolar? Investigation ongoing.
  
−
*'''His Back-'''* Oddly enough, despite how advanced his cybernetic limbs are, the exoskeleton that runs up his spine is vulnerable to damage. Should be it severely damaged, Adapto loses use of his entire cybernetics system, eyes included.  
+
*'''His Back:''' Tentative. Cybernetics appear to be "centred" around a hub on his back.

It is unknown who is behind the Armourer suit, but what an obvious fact is that the suit its self is no joke. Eight foot tall with the displayed ability to lift hundreds of tons along with an array of missile and laser weaponry and seemingly invulnerable, the Armourer suit is designed to be a one man army. The Armourer uses his power to attack arms companies, military bases and frontier technology companies all in order to add to his seemingly never ending greed in regards to weaponry and technology. The Armourer has taken a liking to Adapto and his limbs, targeting Adapto and his father various times.

Personality

Field interactions with the vigilante "Adapto" have shown him to be a to-the-point character with a sort of unaware smugness which Silver Avenger Liam Heckler described as "somewhat aggravating" to work with. This is perhaps not an unearned trait, as his assistance in crisis' has proven to be invaluable - see the Collier Incident in California. Registered hero -- noted that Adapto had a rather volatile mood, displaying mood swings but with a self-awareness of their occurence, leading to them being somewhat more restrained but still evident, and occasional lapses into a dangerous apathy.

He appears content to allow law enforcement and sanctioned individuals handle the end result of situations, and has shown to at the very least not leap to lethal solutions to problems involving sentient beings. For these reasons, PRIMUS considers vigilante "Adapto" an acceptable partner to work with, although threat assessment is ongoing.

Background

Adapto appears to have put extensive work into maintaining the secrecy of his background and funding, making it difficult for PRIMUS to acquire adequate and reliable information. Investigation ongoing.

Skills

  • Genius: Formerly tentative. Proven after more in depth interaction with vigilante Adapto. Displays an aptitude towards long-term planning and strategy, but specializes in multiversal superscience and cybernetics - see Collier Incident.
  • Adaptive Fighting: Movements in close combat imply a base in boxing and judo, but for the most part it appears improvised. Suspected computer assistance with deciding movements.
  • Sovereign of his Body: Cybernetics have displayed degrees of immunity to technopathy.

Equipment

  • Extensive Cybernetics: Evident. Exact details and capabilities unknown, but they have displayed immense strength, speed and durability while also capable of high-powered energy emission.
  • Charge Cannisters: Adapto carries cannisters that contain a glowing blue liquid. Upon inserting into the pack on his back (which seems to act as a connecting point for his cybernetics), the effectiveness of his cybernetics increases greatly for a short period of time. This includes general capabilities (strength & speed) and energy capabilities (blasts etcetera). When the effect fades, Adapto's limbs are left at 50% less effectiveness of their usual effectiveness for a period of time.

Inventions

Investigation ongoing

Weaknesses

As is the case with many supergenius metahumans, investigation is ongoing as to Adapto's threat level. While he has not displayed any intent to go rogue, the potential is there. Tentatively rated as a state-level threat.

  • Just a Man: Adapto is a human past the cybernetics. Keep this in mind.
  • Emotionally Unstable: Noted above in section 1. Mood is turbulent at best, possibly bipolar? Investigation ongoing.
  • His Back: Tentative. Cybernetics appear to be "centred" around a hub on his back.

Allies and Enemies

Allies

  • Devil Ray - "I don't know about Ray. He seemed like a nice enough guy starting out. Odd, yes, but nice. The whole thing with his dad changed him, understandably too. I hope being a villain does not run in the Right blood."
  • Wavegirl - "Wavegirl is nice. I have a lot of confidence that she's going to be a great person when she gets older...heck, she already is one in my book. She needs to ditch that Chad guy for good, though. It's weird."
  • Victory - "Victory's like the sister I never had, I guess. I pick fun at her a lot, but that's because I trust her to dish it back with no hard feelings. It's mean for me to say this, but she's the closest thing to my equal on the Renegades. In a completely different field, sure, but there's overlap there. We can talk about things."
  • Soldier Boy - "I like to think of Soldier Boy as my best friend. I'm unsure if the feeling is mutual, but it's hard to tell anything with Alex that isn't 'discontent', 'normal' and 'slightly amused'. Still, he has had my back, so I've got his. Homies help homies."
  • Powerbolt - "She had issues, but she seems to be moving on. A rising star in the hero community as well. I'm glad life's getting better for her, and I hope it stays that way."
  • All-Star - "We went through some stuff. We were cool. Sucks."
  • Power Play - "Power Play is weird. Not superhero weird, but just normal weird. It seems like he's just a guy who gets pulled into our stuff, but genuinely wants to help out. Because of that, I'm fine with him being around. Better someone who wants to fight the good fight to the best of their ability, you know? I'm sure he'll get better at it, anyway."
  • Star Sentry - "Vaishara is...I don't know. She's great. Patient to the point of putting up with my faults, but supportive as well. Lets just leave it at that."
  • Star & Ace - "I don't know Star as well as I do Ace. My experiences of Star so far have been annoying, at best. I get along really well with Ace, though. She seems to get me, you know? That's usually a lot to ask from people, so I'm glad she's my friend."


Enemies

  • Paley the Watch Man: Adapto has been involved in various situations with the low-tier time manipulator known as "Paley". A thief, Paley's abilities supposedly allow him to reverse the observable flow of time by 5.23 seconds and retain memory of the deleted 5.23 seconds.



Opinions about Adapto

"Adapto has a big brain and a bigger ego. He's a good guy at heart, though." - Victory

"Dude. Blender Arms. Bad. Ass. 'Nuff said. Also he should totally build robot boxers." - Quick Shrike

"Marcel's a great guy, knows what he's doing, even when no one else does. I'm pretty sure he likes it that way, too." - Soldier Boy

"Marcel puts so much of himself into his work. While an admirable trait, I cannot help but be concerned for his well being sometimes. - Wavegirl

"I'm not convinced Marcel isn't makin' up half the crap he talks about most of the time, but it's hard to deny the fact he's smart as Hell, even if he is." - Blink

"The kid's cool and sharp with a good head on his shoulders. I should know; I was in it." - All-Star

"Though I have yet to meet him personally. I have read several of his articles in magazines and I cannot help but respect and admire him." - Stegoboy

RP Hooks

  • Are you part of the superscience community? It is possible you have heard of Adapto! He occasionally writes articles for superscience journals on the areas of cybernetics and multiversal physics.
