| − | + | When an insurgent sneak attack in Afghanistan’s Kandahar Province threatened to eliminate his entire platoon, Army First Lieutenant Carter Williams acted. Executing a daring maneuver, Carter directed his own vehicle to shield his troops from enemy fire as they were pursued through the village of Hidad. He saved sixteen lives and held off the enemy until rescue. But Carter, like many of the men and women in his command, did not leave unscathed: a rocket-propelled grenade left him grievously wounded, and led to his honorable discharge. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | For his service, Carter was promoted to Captain, and awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. Williams returned to American soil a bona fide war hero. But he returned with substantial nerve damage, and felt far from heroic. Like many of his fellow soldiers, Carter would never fight again. Now his fight was getting out from bed every morning, or writing a check. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | Dr. Jasper Helm, an ambitious, struggling inventor, was likewise without options. His latest and greatest achievement, the "ATHENA", an allegedly invincible suit of powered armor, had been repeatedly ignored by defense contractors. To make his mark on the world, Dr. Helm resorted to more extreme measures: he wouldn't just create armor, he would create a superhero. It would be the ultimate test of the ATHENA's capabilities. Helm sought a volunteer, and found Carter Williams. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | Initially, Carter was hesitant. What place did a wounded war veteran have next to the likes of Defender or Thundrax? Yet he could not ignore the potential: the ATHENA would allow Carter to move like he used to, and fight for his country once again. Additionally, Helm promised Carter the freedom to plan his own missions. Duty was calling, so Carter answered. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | Star-spangled and sealed within Dr. Helm’s experimental marvel, Carter became Captain Adamant, the “Unbreakable Man”. He pursues a new kind of service to his fellow man, delving into the strange and spectacular world of the superhero. He marches ever forward, ready to plant himself firmly in harm’s way for the betterment of humanity. Only this time, he's bulletproof. | |

| + | Captain Adamant towers over most men and women by a foot, and walks with heavy, metallic footsteps. Subtle, wavy patterns weave through the armor’s metal plates, which gleam faintly under direct light. The eyes of Helm’s invention shine with a white radiance, as does the five-pointed star in the armor’s chest piece. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Beneath the armor is a tall, fair skinned man in his late twenties who maintains his brown hair in a short, “high and tight” style. He possesses dark brown eyes, and a defined, square jawline, which is always clean shaven. He boasts well-defined muscles and excellent posture, and speaks with a rumbling baritone voice. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Throughout the right side of his body, former shrapnel wounds pepper and criss-cross his figure, while past burns darken Carter’s skin in mottled, warped patches. Luckily, Carter’s face escaped most the damage, sporting only a couple major shrapnel marks that interrupt his bottom lip and eyebrow. Under close inspection, a few spots on the right half of Carter’s face are marred by discoloration. | ||
| + | |||
| + | His outfits are frequently gray or green button-up shirts tucked into a pair of jeans. Regardless of the weather, he almost always elects to roll his sleeves up, and laces up in thick-sole work boots. Carter rarely accessorizes beyond a wristwatch, a single Adamantine ring, and the occasional pair of sunglasses. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Captain Adamant is a hard working member of the superhero community, eschewing frivolous pursuits for productive and practical ones. Carter approaches wearing the ADMNT as he would an assignment in the Army: with the utmost dedication. Objectives should be pursued with diligence, and orders ought to be obeyed. Donning the armor is no raucous adventure, nor is it some lofty, poetic pursuit. To him, it is as solemn a duty as being a soldier. Carter wishes everyone in the superhero community shared this view. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In both his personal and professional life, Carter approaches problems with a level head. He isn’t one to let emotions get in the way of achieving an objective. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way” is among Carter’s favorite aphorisms, and Captain Adamant is quick to remind his allies. Whether leading or following, the Unbreakable Man is a constant source of motivation, though some are not receptive to his matter-of-fact approach. | ||
| + | |||
| + | But Carter believes there is a time and place for everything and everyone, such that many are shocked when the hero is off-duty. He can be rather pleasant in social situations, and is always polite. He never fully sheds the air of seriousness, however, and it returns in force when facing rude, lazy, or unethical people in conversation. No matter the context, Carter isn’t one to open up about himself, or his feelings. | ||
