"This we'll defend."


Dedication. Loyalty. Resolve. These make a formidable person. Imbue that same person with invulnerability, and that person becomes a force to be reckoned with. Carter Williams is Captain Adamant, and he strives to be this person. A former soldier who wears a nigh-invincible suit of armor, Captain Adamant is a recent addition to the ranks of superheroes in Millennium City. The phrase "Iron Will" has seldom found a better personification. The press calls him the Unbreakable Man, and sensationalism notwithstanding, it's true.


But dedication, loyalty, and resolve are not always virtues...

The Story

The Truth

Powers
CapAdamantPowersBanner.jpg


Physical

Psychological

Appearance

  • Heroic Build - Take one look at Captain Adamant, and it shouldn't come as a surprise that he was a star halfback in college. What better candidate for a suit of invincible armor?
  • Hunk - Tall, well-built, and fit, Carter Williams is a manly man: candy for the eyes of women (though some find him to be a bit too tall) and sometimes a standard of comparison for his fellow men.

Personality

  • The Fettered - Captain Adamant believes there are callings higher than any one person, including, and especially, himself. The greater good comes before any one man or woman, and Captain Adamant will hold to his ideals in the face of any threat and any temptation.
  • The Reliable One - One of Carter's greatest traits is his loyalty and perseverance. This translates as being incredibly reliable. No matter the time or place, no matter the job, if called on, he will be there.
  • Nerves Of Steel - Captain Adamant never panics, and is remarkably hard to compromise emotionally. Training and a strong will allow him to remain calm, set aside his emotions and personal conflicts, in order to act under pressure.

Ethics

  • Lawful Good - No right is absolute, but each liberty must be protected. The balance between freedom and justice is one Captain Adamant strives for daily. To him, one cannot truly exist without the other.

Character & Motivations

  • Military Superhero - Captain Adamant is a soldier in a superhero's world. The two perspectives tend to clash, and even though Adamant thrills at realizing his childhood dream, he still can't help but see some of his peers as undisciplined at best, and dangerous at worst.
  • Married To The Job - Captain Adamant approaches being a superhero just like he did being a soldier: it's a full-time job. It comes before almost anything and everything, and it must be performed with the utmost seriousness and care.
  • All A Part Of The Job - And Carter wouldn't have it any other way. His "job" is dangerous and stressful. But it's all worth it in the end to serve his country and help his fellow man.
  • What You Are In The Dark - Captain Adamant won't compromise himself for anything or anyone. Pursuing his ideals has nothing to do with approval or personal gain.
  • Captain Patriotic - Though no sentient is beneath his protection, his homeland and its citizens are at the forefront of his attention. What kind of citizen would he be if he did not try to make America better?
  • Superhero Sobriquets - By joining Eternals, Inc., his media profile has grown, and with it, his list of nicknames. The most popular of them is "The Unbreakable Man." Around Eternals Tower, "Cap" and "Tin Man" are popular.

Combat & Skills

  • Heroic Resolve - When the chips are down, and others are in danger, Captain Adamant steps up. In the most dangerous of situations, the most dire of circumstances, Captain Adamant will succeed. There is no other alternative.
  • Let's Fight Like Gentlemen - There is a difference between outdoing your opponent, and outmaneuvering them. Captain Adamant believes that even war has rules, and views superheroism in much the same way. Adamant refuses to stoop to the level of his adversaries to defeat them.
  • Fights Like A Normal - Unlike other "tanks" who simply go in swinging, Adamant still uses his army training, employing "Modern Army Combatives".
  • Improvised Weapons - Captain Adamant usually sticks to his body in combat, but when the situation calls for it, he'll wield anything against an opponent. Dumpsters, lampposts, car doors, etc.
  • Logical Weaknesses - Most of Captain Adamant's weaknesses depend on his armor's limitations, as well as the limitations of being human. And just like most heroes, his values can be used against him.

Quirks

  • I'm Not A Hero I'm... - ...a (former) soldier. At heart, Carter is and always will be military. He doesn't project the air of a hero, and will avoid the press if at all possible.
  • Workaholic - Captain Adamant is completely devoted to the cause of helping others through his superhero alter ego. In fact, Carter almost spends more time as Captain Adamant than himself.

Background

  • Upbringing Makes The Hero - Carter, like all people, has been shaped by many forces in his life. His parents and the military are first among them, for instilling in him the virtues of hard work, duty, sacrifice, and decisive action.

Possessions

  • Powered Armor - The "Hardwear" armor is the crux of Captain Adamant's abilities, lending him Super Strength and Invulnerability, as well as improved movement.
  • Wall Of Weapons - Captain Adamant doesn't use firearms, but Carter Williams enjoys marksmanship, and likes to be prepared. Thus, his armory includes a small arsenal of guns, along with his armor.
  • Tragic Keepsake - During a mission in Africa to destroy a VIPER facility, Carter's friend, Lenny Marshall, died in combat. Lenny's wife insisted that he keep them.

  • Captain Adamant avoids the press, and generally stays away from talking about himself at length. Despite this, the press has taken note of him once or twice.
  • "Work hard, play hard." On the rare occasion he finally submits to some R&R, Carter can party with the best of them. He's not a great dancer, but he can drink with the best of them.
  • Musically, Carter loves anything electronic. House, trance, and drum & bass define his playlist, especially his training playlists.
  • Captain Adamant spends a lot of his time around Eternals Tower, when not on mission. When on mission, he can be found in Millennium City wherever he is needed.
  • Adamant seems fascinated by his peers and their powers, almost to an academic degree.
