| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Personality
Crusher is more or less your average reasonable guy, if a bit meek, he will laugh at jokes, make catcalls when other guys around him do, and drink, though since his omnicron treatment he's focused on being more tame because he's been prone to aggressive outbursts.
History
Mark O'Connor was born on February 6th 1981 in Ellsworth Maine to an electrical engineer and nurse, though smaller than most newborns he was healthy and well off, when he was six his sister was born and they bonded near instantly. While mark did not gain much girth growing up and had issues in school from bigger kids; his sister was there to support him if ever he got down. At 18 Mark graduated and had an odd career choice; he wanted to join VIPER. Though an evil organization the nests in Maine had been around for quite a while their propaganda recruitment got through to mark, a job? money? possibility to not be underweight and weak anymore? He ignored his family's discouragement and went to join despite their protest.
Darwinism SUCKS
Of course what was not mentioned to Mark was VIPER lived off of the strong survive off the weak, and all he had wanted to do was make his place in the organization and settle it at that, given his outlook and physicality he had issues keeping up and was given two choices in the end, volunteer for omnicron research or be signed off to Moreou's research base and probably end up one of his victims, he took the former quite eagerly.
Rage Pattern Baldness
Once fitted with his harness and chemical treatments mark soon gained mass and strength at a stupidly fast rate and was 50 times more efficient in combat, what wasn't mentioned to the man was aggressive behavior, eventual baldness, addiction to the chemicals his harness administered and "burnout". Seeing this would lead him nowhere, he left his base and made a deal with Primus. If he volunteered for his cybernetics to be researched and did community service heroics under watch, his crimes would be overlooked and he could be a proper citizen, later he took the name "crusher II" inspired by another hero who looked to viper to gain a foothold in such an demanding world.
The Destroyers
Fittingly Crusher had met with other heroes who had also taken the names of former heroes who fell in Detroit. He now works and communicates with them and finds belonging in the group.
Powers and Weaknesses
Inhuman Strength
As expected Crusher has an inhuman level of strength, able to lift five tons currently without assistance of panic muscles or his harness
Increased Mass
Crusher's skin and, sinew and, muscle have also grown freakishly thick, Primus has tested it's density and has only been able to penetrate his skin with explosives, or diamond cutting lasers.
Weak mind
Like any Brute, crusher is weak to Psionic attacks, though he has some training of resistance, that's not going to go far in a superhuman world
EMP
Omnicron tech, like any other electronic device is vulnerable to EMP devices, if struck by one crusher's strength fades, he suffers mood swings and blurred and static vision and will most likely panic.
Contacts
Friends
Amazing Grace: "Decent person, i like grace as a friend but...something about her isn't right, her kindness is past what you'd expect of anyone and it worries me"
Goblin: "Little weirdo and pervert but most down to earth person of who I know, kinda like...fratboy lite."
Nimbus: "On retrospect...Nimbus worries me more than grace, she snores randomly over the comms mid conversation sometimes and she's either narcoleptic or works really hard on the hero job, i'm starting to think the latter..."
Radion: "I don't even know what to makes of 'rads' nice, but she doesn't grasp alot about us humans, and has this...'thinking' tone and aura about her, and the fact she was made by destroyer and just waltzed out of no where, i can't help but feel in the back of my mind she's a spy; i'm not sure i trust her with my implants...
Shadowboxer: Real mysterious guy, never takes off his mask and looks like a street scrapper, and offers to train us in fighting, i'll pass on that, like i need him to tell me how to deck something when i've bent steel
Flechette: I never expected to see any other Ex-viper here, i hear she's a host for nanites, that creeps me out, that and she acts like an arsonist.
Firefight II: met him once, he's got military background and is....Average? i think he'd be a great friend
Enemies
Pretty much all of VIPER: Yeah they can't be happy mark left with several million in omicron implants
Triva
Eh...i got nothing.
