Franklin Carter is the vigilante known as, Nightbeast the Canine Cavalier. As the Nightbeast, Franklin has become known as one of the most deadliest persons on the face of the Earth, armed with a regenerative healing factor and savage claws and personality that make the average man crumble to his power. After abusing his parent's wealth and money to get by in life Franklin was sent to serve eight years in the military and learn about discipline and respect and during all of that Franklin left the military with a new mindset. After experiencing the death of his best friend, Clinton Bertinelli, Franklin's mutant powers activated and seeked revenge on Clinton's murderer. Following this Franklin returned home only to leave once again this time to travel the world and search for peace and find himself, this caused him to spend five years away from home and learn many different things such as martial arts, meditation, swordsmanship, and many more. Once he came home and stayed for good and adopted a night identity known as 'The Beast' and nearly became a savage killer like the rest of the scum in his fellow city, after Franklin finally calmed down he became more at ease with himself and the rest of thugs he would now put behind bars. Within the following years Franklin became acting CEO of his parent's companies Carter Technologies and Carter Enterprises eventually adopting the name and guise he was soon to uphold known as Nightbeast .




Background

Franklin Carter. Billionaire, philanthropist, playboy. Typical story, same cliches but Franklin wasn't always like this. Born and raised by Janice and Samson Carter, Franklin lived the typical life of young man who was the son of well-known billionaires and lived recklessly, caring only for himself. His father Samson eventually grew tired of this as he was constantly pulling strings and bailing Franklin out of jail after a late night of partying usually left him driving home under the influence and almost killing himself. His father Samson was also having a tough time run both his corporations Carter Enterprises and Carter Technologies and the more Franklin got himself into trouble, the more difficult this would become. So Samson signed Franklin up for the military as a way to teach him discipline and respect. While in the military Franklin befriended a man who was no younger then him named, Clinton and the two would become best friends and eventually blood brothers after a near-death experience for the both of them left them thinking they were about to die and always thought their friendship extended to the point to where they could be considered more then friends, but brothers.

Franklin and Clinton spent eight years in the military and they were finally ready to clear out their lockers and head home. This would be where things would take a turn for the worst as Clinton would overhear a conversation between an unknown associate and their bunker leader from the military school, Franklin would also follow after Clinton just to make sure he was safe as his sudden curiousness spooked him slightly. Clinton would make the foolish mistake of confronting them and get shot down after hearing something he wasn't supposed to hear and same would go for Franklin and the two would lay there in a pool of their own blood. Franklin's mutant healing factor would cause him to reawaken a short time after and track down the bunker leader and kill him using his new mutant retractable "claws" to exact revenge for the death of his best friend.

Franklin would go back home traumatized by the events of what happened back at the base and would brand himself as a freak and couldn't live with himself and the guilt that he not only killed someone but did it in the most animalistic way possible. Franklin's parents thought if the trauma was that much for him to endure they would just by him a ticket and send him on a five year long trip around the world, discovering new places and learning about different cultures and languages. This would also see Franklin learn several forms of martial arts, languages, and meditation as well as Chi manipulation and chakra realignment. Franklin's journey to "find himself" would in fact work and after spending five long years away from home Franklin would be back with a new spirit and attitude. With Franklin back in Millennium City the public eye would of course take notice and see to what Franklin's goals are after spending so many years away from home.

Franklin had no real goals but one to save his city. While he was away he saw the world for what it really was. Crime, Terror, Fear. Everything man either wishes to avoid or keep from ever happening. Franklin got tired of sitting around and watching as innocent people got hurt either for no reason because they were trying help and he wanted to put a stop to this. So every night he would throw on a grey thermal, some black cargo pants, some fingerless combat gloves, boots, and a thermal mask and would patrol the streets as "The Beast", a feral creature who left his victims clawed nearly to death and in a pool of their own blood. Franklin began striking fear into the criminals of Millennium City, having them be afraid the Beast and hope that he doesn't come out of his lair and set his sights on them. Franklin was invincible with his retractable claws and regenerative healing factor along with some of his military combat training and martial arts studies, he was not the one to be underestimated.

Franklin transformation from the Beast to the Nightbeast would come sometime after he took down the man known only as, Vein. Vein was a brute with a mask that supplied him with a cocktail of painkillers and anesthetics that basically made him immune to all forms of pain just as long as he kept the mask on. The Beast would stop Vein by finally removing the mask and saving all the people of Westside after he had planned to blow the entire district up after receiving word of culmination of a "death dragon" to lay waste to all of Westside and Millennium City in a heartbeat.

Within the next following months Franklin would be spiral into a plethora of events such as the death of his parents in a car crash and having to leave all the fortune and good wealth to Franklin. Franklin was not yet ready to endure or take on such responsibility at the time as he was in his late twenties and was approaching his early thirties soon. This caused other business to target Carter Enterprises and take full control of the Carter wealth for just themselves and Franklin was too late to keep this from ever happening he was broke and left penniless for the time being. Eventually Franklin would get lucky and regain full control of Carter Enterprises after the acting CEO, Michael Kingston had supposedly died in a ARGENT takeover during a public, live press conference. Franklin did in fact learn how to run his parent's company and live up to their expectations and by this point Franklin was already thirty years old.

In the next developing years Franklin discovered other things such as learning how to become a expert if not master level mechanic and inventor and discovered a hidden cavern beneath Carter Enterprises, this cavern would eventually become the Beast Lair after finally taking his namesake of the Nightbeast. Franklin also would start to develop new-age weaponry and gadgetry for his escapes as a vigilante superhero living in a starling city like Millennium City. Franklin would face the hardest of obstacles in his life such as his first Blood Moon where the necromancer, Takofanes would release a plague that would cause the dead to rise and make werewolves show up from out of the wood works and this would send Franklin's feral-like abilities into a frenzy and nearly kill his new secretary at that time, Candie. Franklin would eventually regain control of himself and reveal to Candie that as long as she promised she wouldn't tell anyone else, that he was in fact the Nightbeast. Candie wasn't that surprised as she already knew from the get-go and noticed things like his nails growing in length periodically, his so-called "fast healing" and enhanced sense of smell and hearing. She just wanted Franklin to reveal the "other him" to her whenever he felt comfortable. This eventually led to a small romantic relationship and the showing of his Beast Lair and wear he stores all his equipment.

After Blood Moon, Franklin would come across a case of a "feral child" ripping people to shreds. This child would eventually be Nightbeast's sidekick, Badger. His name was Michael Brock and he, like Franklin, was born with feral-like abilities too but when his parents found out they kicked him to the curb and sent him to live on the streets like the animal he was. Nightbeast eventually took him in and trained him to be his ward and adoptive son and it would further act as a front to maintain the two's secret identities of Nightbeast and Badger, though the two wouldn't stay together for long as Michael did leave the Lair to become his own hero but continued to use the Badger namesake. Michael still keeps in close contact with Franklin in case he is ever needed and Badger still does visit Millennium City from time-to-time but usually only whenever he can sense Nightbeast is going to need help on either a case or a new or old super-villain that may be on the rampage (again).

Next on the list of sidekicks was, Jacob Newman a.k.a Watchdog. He was only ten years old when he somehow discovered a nexus tunnel that led to the Beast Lair and it took a miracle for him to sneak past all the security with out setting off a single drone or gun turret. Jacob had a rough life with a dad that was in and out of jail and a mom who had to make money by prostituting herself out just to put food on the table. Jacob basically couldn't stand it anymore and he called the cops after his mom got drunk once again after another long night and he rain away, giving his mother a kiss on the forehead and hopping out the window and into the night himself. Jacob's dad wasn't always a bad man and he used to be a miner before turning to crime and being thrown in and out jail just because there was no other way to support his family. This must also explain how Jacob must of found a way into the Beast Lair as his dad must of taught him about underground tunnels during his time as a miner. Franklin looked into the small boy's eyes and saw that he had nothing left in his life with a mother that was a (possibly former now) prostitute and deadbeat crook of a father, Jacob needed a role model to look up to so Franklin took him in a trained him in self-defense and only a few forms of martial arts and had him be Nightbeast's eyes and ears as he was always put on monitor duty because Jacob was only thirteen by this point and still had a lot to learn, this is what gave birth to his codename of Watchdog. Jacob eventually got bored of monitor duty and decided to go through Nightbeast's computer and do a simple search on Rebecca Newman, Jacob's mother and found that she had in fact stopped prostituting and was recovering at a rehab center after having a small run-in with drugs and alcohol. Jacob decided to print out a map of where this rehab center was so he would in fact visit it and see his mother and he didn't tell Nightbeast too afraid to see if he would stop him if he had told him beforehand. Jacob arrived at the rehab center only to find that this was no rehab center but a secret terrorist hideout that was planning on firing an armed missile at Millennium City's Renaissance Center and Jacob had to disarm this bomb and get his mom out of the rehab center. This was also a trap as Jacob's own mother betrayed him and beat him with a 2x4 block of wood and set the missile's coordinates same as that of rehab center's, basically she was going to blow up the entire center with her and her son still inside. Nightbeast eventually found out where Jacob had went after checking the Lair's security camera system and seeing that Jacob was heading to a rehab center where his addict mother was supposedly at recovering from a drug and alcohol problem. It was at the same time Nightbeast had saw a missile be fired into the sky and land in the same location of where it was originally fired from and Nightbeast drove his Beastcycle faster towards the blast only to see that he was in fact too late and Jacob was dead. A few years later Jacob would resurface in his twenties alive and well with an artificial regenerative healing factor given to him by an unknown person and he was going to finally serve justice in his own way, by killing after seeing things like his own mother betray him and beat him like a dog after he was trying to save her live just set things a whole lot differently in Jacob's mind. Jacob's current whereabouts are unknown.

It was after Franklin developed H.E.C.T.O.R (Heuristically. Enhanced. Computer programmed. To. Obey and Research) who would act as his new eyes and ears as well as computer A.I butler. Now that Jacob was gone and he needed somebody to monitor him while he was out as Nightbeast facing the worse evils to ever rise from the city. Franklin was still sadened and heartbroken about what had happened to Jacob that he in fact didn't see it coming when he was attacked by a clan of ninjas calling themselves, The Guild of Shadows and was defeated and transported all the way to Japan. In Japan, Franklin was in for a big surprise as he was about to meet the leader of the Guild of Shadows, Vlad'os van Iliuzija and his seductive daughter, Tarian van Iliuzija. The Guild of Shadows has been around for centuries and they have been monitoring Franklin since the day he donned the all-black attire and was calling himself, The Beast, the Guild had basically take an interest to Nightbeast and what he was capable of and that wasn't just counting his healing factor and amazing claws too. Vad'os confronted Nightbeast with a proposition to lace his bones with a powerful super-metal and no longer rely on his Q-Metal laced gloves to acquire metallic claws. So Nightbeast took the risk and had his very bones laced with a metal known as, Verbatium and now gained unbreakable claws after having his bone marrow filled with the strange metal and he also acquired enhanced durability as well. Though Nightbeast's meeting with The Guild of Shadows and Iliuzija family went far beyond that after Vlad'os approached Franklin with that the only reason why he had his bone marrow filled with Verbatim was so that he could have a power heir to take up his position as Vlad'os was dying and needed someone to take up his mantle by making Franklin marry his daughter Tarian and take his last name of Iliuzija. To make matters worse the night before Franklin was approached with this information, he was seduced by Tarian and slept with her that night and she winded up turning up pregnant, later leading to the future birth of Tarian's baby boy, Sūnus žvėries - the Son of the Beast, or what Franklin would later name him, Calvin Carter. Franklin later left Japan and returned home after successfully defeating the Guild of Shadows and Vlad'os.

As mentioned before Nightbeast conceived with Tarian van Iliuzija and had a child named, Calvin. Calvin was born and raised by Tarian and with Guild of Shadows training making him a master of stealth, hand-to-hand combat, and swordsmanship. Calvin lived with his mother for about when he first started walking at 3 years old until he as 10 years old and he was dropped off at his father's house after Tarian thought he should get to know his father and learn from him a sense of responsibility. The meeting between the two wasn't a pleasant one but eventually Calvin began to slowly learn how to be a hero (sorta) and because of this he earned the name of K-9 and became Nightbeast's new and final sidekick.

Things would eventually start to calm down slightly for Nightbeast as no more major-level events would pop up for him. Franklin's best friend William Rhodes would be brought into the Nightbeast Family after his younger daughter was kidnapped and he took on the guise of a vigilante named, Shepard and he and Nightbeast went and saved her. Elsewhere through some connections she had in Canada, Tarian van Iliuzija - Daughter of Vlad'os van Iliuzija would send a blood sample she received from Franklin the night they conceived and tell the scientists there to use the sample to create the perfect clone of Franklin Carter a.k.a The Nightbeast. Sadly the scientists at the lab had only enough of the sample to create only a female clone and not a male one as Tarian wanted the clone to be male, once the clone was finished they needed to inject the egg into a female volunteer so that she could give birth to the clone. That female volunteer was the fellow woman who actually created the egg, Laurel McKinney.

Laurel spent the next several months caring for the clone in which she named, Samantha, but the lab codenamed her XK-9 as she was sent on black-op missions as a better way to "teach" her in how to use her new powers. Samantha was also a emotionally depressed teen once she turned 16 and started cutting herself with her own retractable talons, her own unique pair of claws. It was because of Samantha cutting herself that she left scars even her own healing factor couldn't repair, hinting at that Samantha's healing factor was emotionally-based. Samantha was also no even born with enhanced senses that were precisely accurate as her "father's" so she had to be given a special vial named, Stimuli 21 and this drug would cause Samantha to go into blind berserker-based rages whenever irritated. Samantha eventually escaped her imprisonment at "The Lab" and traveled to Millennium City to meet her "father" and form a new alliance with him and his Nightbeast Family as, XK-9.

This as far brings an end to Nightbeast's journey from wealthy playboy, to vigilante, to superhero. Now Franklin continues to protect his city as Nightbeast with the rest of the Family there to back him up and always willing to lend a hand. Even if its not in the nicest way possible but Franklin will willing admit that he doesn't care, just as long as justice is being served in some type of way, the criminals of Millennium City will learn to fear the night because Franklin IS the night, he IS a wild animal, he IS the Nightbeast.

Present Day

Franklin now runs CarterTech and Carter Enterprises while also serving time as the vigilante, Nightbeast. As crime in Millennium City continues to rise, the Nightbeast will always be there to protect the citizens using his Claws of Justice to deliver the smackdown the villains need in order to realize, "We Are Heroes, This is What We Do!"

Appearance and Personality

Frankpic.png

Franklin Carter is more times than not, described as a well-groomed and a handsome man. Franklin typically dresses in the most priciest and expensive suits and often seeing driving around in what would look to be the fastest and loudest cars this decade has to offer to a man of his extreme wealth. Franklin sports an unkempt hairstyle with a natural "dirty blonde" hair color with a rugged and sometimes described as "scruffy" in more recent prints of People's magazine, stubble. Franklin is given the typical and often cliched review of being a "douche-bag billionaire" often caring only for himself and no one else unless its another hot date he has his arm wrapped around either for the night or sometimes week, but thats only if the girl is lucky enough to get Franklin to like them long enough. Franklin is other times described as a drunk when it comes to partying usually spilling wine all over an expensive dress or often destroying a table from over-drinking. This of course is to cover his secret identity as the vigilante known as, Nightbeast.

As the Nightbeast Franklin becomes an all-new, all-different person. As Nightbeast Franklin wears a brown and black costume with a tan-ish trim and becomes completely feral. Usually when operating as Nightbeast, Franklin never holds back and never pulls his punches (or claws at least) and goes all beserk on his opponents and its because of this reason alone he is often targeted by the police and sometimes other terrorist organizations like VIPER. VIPER has it in for Nightbeast as they received an anonymous tip that Nightbeast possesses a healing factor that allows him to heal from most wounds in a matter of seconds. Its because of this VIPER and VIPER-affiliated assassins often come after Nightbeast because hes usually number one on most of their assassin's hit list. Other than that Nightbeast has become a feared individual in the criminal underworld as he has struck fear into most criminal's hearts just simply because of what he is capable of and what skills and equipment he hides beneath his belt half of the time. Nightbeast also has trust issues and trusts very little people that are outside of the "Nightbeast Family" as well as him being a determined fighter and always wishing to work on his own and by himself. This was probably a side effect after having most of his sidekicks leave the nest after going on their own to become their own crime-fighting heroes. The last thing there is to know about Franklin is that he is sometimes not really a team player after growing so used to being by himself when it came down to taking down a supervillain so when he is approached (or is every approached) with an opposition to work with a team or at least another team he usually storms off, thinking of them as "lightweights" and how they may slow him down.

The Iliuzijas and Guild of Shadows

The lab owned by Vlad'os van Iliuzija that gave Franklin his Verbatium skeleton

During the supposed "death" of his last sidekick, Watchdog, Nightbeast was left in a vulnerable state of mind easy enough to be apprehended by a group of ninjas named the, Guild of Shadows. The Guild of Shadows was controlled by a man known as Vlad'os van Iliuzija and he has lived for over a thousand years. It unknown when he found the Guild but he knows that they will always stay to loyal to him since he has lived for a long time and has seen everything there is the world could possibly throw at him. Nightbeast was captured by the Guild one night after successfully stopping a bank robbery and after calling it in to H.E.C.T.O.R he heard his communication feed with him cut off and no soon after he turns around he takes a blunt object to the head and knocks him out cold. Nightbeast would reawaken on a plane with his mask off and sitting in front of a woman named, Tarian. Tarian was the daughter of Vlad'os van Iliuzija but she did not tell him that right away and kept it a secret by telling Nightbeast that she was Vlad's bodyguard. Tarian and the Guild wanted to bring Nightbeast (now Franklin since they know his secret identity now) to Vlad'os because they saw great potential in Franklin, potential that would be great to Vlad'os and so they were flying Franklin to Japan to meet him, The Guild was working on a "case" in a Japan and were going to be sanctioned there for a few months as they are not originally stationed in Japan.

Franklin would later meet the Immortal Vlad'os van Iliuzija no soon after landing in Japan. Vlad'os would tell Franklin all about how he and the Guild have been monitoring Franklin's movements as a young man, to the street vigilante named "The Beast" and later, Naktinis Žvėris - "Night Beast". Franklin shows true raw power and skill as a warrior of justice and for that wishes to up the antee by making Franklin near-indestructible and lace his very skeleton with a supernatural metal Vlad'os has found and been guarding for centuries known as, Verbatium. With this metal laced to Franklin's bones it would make his durability level increase by ten-fold and make his very "claws" dense and unbreakable so he would no longer depend on the Q-Metal material he was using earlier in his crime-fighting career at that time. Franklin only agreed due to that he had no other choice since all communication back home was cut and he couldn't get himself a flight back to Millennium City, so he agreed and within the hour Franklin found himself strapped to a table and dunked into a vat of water while the Verbatium Application process was being initiated.
Franklin's x-rays shortly after the Verbatium Application process was finished

Shortly after the Verbatium Application, Franklin was left entirely weak for the rest of the afternoon as the Verbatium releases a toxin that could kill an ordinary human but for Franklin it only left him woozy and vulnerable. Tarian took full advantage of this and used the chance she had to seduce the hallucinated Franklin and have sex with him Franklin woke up the next day to have no real recollection of the night before but Tarian wasn't afraid to admit that she basically raped Franklin and had sex with him that night and explained how she just couldn't resist his "six pack" and for that her hormones went crazy and they just "did it". Franklin later stumbled out of the room while Tarian sat back down on the bed in a satin red robe and took a sip from her wine glass filled with what looked to be champagne. Franklin, too overwhelmed by what Tarian admitted about doing to him last night and the Verbatium poisoning still having some small effects on Franklin, Franklin overheard Vlad'os discuss to his right-hand man that the plan both him and Tarian had enacted was working. That was when Franklin confronted Vlad'os saying that he heard everything and questioned that the whole Tarian raping him and the whole Verbatium bonding thing was apart of some master plan. The truth was revealed in a sword fight between the two and Vlad'os revealed that he wanted an "heir" and a "cavalier" to stand alongside him as Vlad'os and the Guild slice down their enemies with a sword to their throat. Franklin - Naktinis Žvėris - "The Night Beast" could be Vlad'os "Canine Cavalier" while Franklin and Tarian's son would be the heir to take up Vlad'os throne once his time has come. Basically Vlad'os wanted to merge the Iliuzija and Carter bloodline together with Tarian's baby boy or girl as the future heir. Franklin over course would not allow this and would defeat Vlad'os in their sword fight and demand to be taken back home to Millennium City. Vlad'os later did agree to send Franklin back home but did say that this wasn't the last of him or the Guild of Shadows and expect the Guild to come back and haunt him and everyone he loves as he has made and enemy out of Vlad'os, Tarian, and The Guild.

Hideouts

The Beast('s) Lair

Cave.png
The Beast Lair, or simply called the Lair by Candi, is a cave-based hideout located beneath Carter Tower. The Lair is gigantic chasm that covers most of Millennium City and even has exits that lead to some of the city's outskirts. Franklin later re-purposed these chasms into a special hideout for him to work out of when going on his adventures as the Nightbeast, There are many different entrances into the Lair and the main one is a hidden elevator in the Carter Mansion located behind a bookcase. In the Lair lies many things ranging from the high-tech computer to the weapons cache and a series of vehicles Nightbeast will tend to use to chase enemies by either sky, land, or sea. There also lies a river that leads out to the ocean surrounding most of Millennium City, though the exit is concealed using a bunch of leaves and vines and a steel blast door which can only be opened via motion sensors that reside from the inside.


Carter Mansion

Cartermansion.png
While an obvious hideout the entire Carter Mansion located far on another island in Millennium City. The Mansion was outfitted with a top-notch, state-of-the-art security system made to combat typical petty intruders to highly trained mercenaries and assassins like the Guild of Shadows and the Nest of Snakes. The mansion is monitored by the all-seeing H.E.C.T.O.R artificial intelligence system and he usually greets guests upon them entering and passing through the front door, he is also connected to a security camera video feed which has cameras in every room to ensure that anyone in the house doesn't attempt to steal anything or find the secret entrance to the Beast Lair. The secret entrance to the Lair resides behind the typical bookshelf display and is activated by flipping up the head to a Albert Einstein bust on Franklin's desk in his personal study which is usually locked down by H.E.C.T.O.R to keep anyone from stumbling in there and risk finding out what Franklin does during his time when hes not playing the role of a spoiled billionaire playboy living in Millennium City.


The Dojo

2mrv40g.jpg
The Dojo is more of a sanctuary/training ground made for Franklin. The Dojo is connected to a separate cave in the Lair. The Dojo lacks any computer equipment, except an interface with H.E.C.T.O.R and some training equipment back from Franklin's training days as a "ninja" so-to-speak. This Dojo is also where Franklin trains his younger son, Calvin (K-9), Samantha (XK-9), Michael (Badger) and the rest of the Nightbeast Family. Franklin is a very paranoid individual and thinks supernatural powers aren't enough to combat some of their worse opponents and they need to be prepared for the day when their powers are ever nullified or can not be used.



The Pound

Mutations Store.jpg
The Pound is more of a hideout/super-prison built especially for Nightbeast, Warbeast, K-9, and XK-9. The Pound was made especially for people within the Nightbeast Family with regenerative healing factors and raw physical strength, it was created as a backup measure just in case one of the Family members succumbs to mind control or worse and Nightbeast can't stop them because of their healing factors. The Pound features a chamber of cells that are constantly emitting a chemical suited for nullifying healing factors and reducing the powers and or abilities of a person once their locked inside, Nightbeast also worked this chemical into a syringe which he carries on a daily basis. This was also made just in case Nightbeast ever loses his cool and needs to spend a night (or month) in the Pound to protect himself and the low-lifes out there he may kill.



The Sanctuary

199267.jpg
The Sanctuary is a special high-tech, heavily defensed hideout made to house the Nightbeast Family in times of a crisis. The Sanctuary was primarily made in case of the secret identities of the Family were ever found out and they would be compromised. The Sanctuary is located in an undisclosed location and houses numerous items ranging from high-tech weaponry and swords to military-grade weapons and food and clothing as well as a wing that houses most of the cars Nightbeast has driven throughout the years as well as sky-based vehicles like planes and helicopters and even sky-cycles. The Sanctuary is never used unless its in case of a "Family" emergency and even though he can't get drunk, this is the one place Nightbeast a.k.a Franklin Carter puts his one bottle of Scotch and a shot glass in case of a stressful moment too much for even him to handle gets to him and just punching bad guys in the face isn't enough.


Powers and Abilities

  • Superhuman Strength: His natural strength is augmented by the demand placed on his musculature due to the presence of over 50kg/100 pounds of Verbatium bonded on to his skeleton, which also removes the natural limitations of the human skeletal structure by allowing him to lift weights that would damage a human skeleton. Nightbeast has been depicted with sufficient strength to break steel chains, support the weight of a dozen men with one arm. Nightbeast's strength is enough to allow him to press just about 2-5 tons.

  • Superhuman Stamina: Nightbeast's mutant healing factor grants him high immunity against lactic acid and other fatigue toxins generated by his muscles during physical activity. Nightbeast can sustain himself at peak capacity for several days. His lung capacity is at peak human level enabling him to hold breath for 6 minutes under water, making his lungs as healthy as human's lungs can get.

  • Superhuman Speed: Nightbeast is able to move at low level superhuman speeds. He has attacked faster than the eye could follow.

  • Superhuman Agility: Nightbeast's agility, balance, flexibility, dexterity, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of an Olympic gold medalist. He has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats.

  • Superhuman Durability: Nightbeast has superhuman durability. Franklin's is incredibly dense, allowing him to survive brutal punches from Black Fang, Ripper, or Black Talon. His durability is also slightly enhanced when wearing the Bloodhound Armor. After having several pounds of Verbatium applied to his skeletal structure Franklin's new unbreakable bones further enhance his durability factor by extreme levels and can now survive being throw through several buildings.

  • Superhuman Reflexes: Franklin's reflexes are similarly enhanced, they are also superior to those possessed by the finest human specimen and are equal to the likes of the current Black Mask.

  • Superhuman Senses: Nightbeast possesses superhumanly acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals. He can see at far greater distances, with perfect clarity, than an ordinary human. He retains this same level of clarity even in near total darkness. His hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, allowing him to detect sounds ordinary humans couldn't hear at a greater distances, enough to hear a teardrop in another room that have thick walls with enough focus. He is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if they are well hidden. He can track a target by scent, even if the scent has been greatly eroded by time and weather factors, with an extraordinary degree of success.

  • Fear Sense: Nightbeast can use his keen sense of smell to detect fear due to chemical changes within a person's scent.

  • Disease Immunity: Franklin's highly efficient immune system, which is part of his accelerated healing factor, renders him immune against all known Earthly diseases and infections.

  • Contaminant Immunity: Nightbeast's natural healing also affords him the virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, except in massive doses.

  • Verbatium-laced Claws: Franklin has the mutant ability to grow his fingernails to resemble claws. Franklin's skeletal structure was altered when he was kidnapped by the Guild of Shadows and taken to Japan to meet Vlad'os van Iliuzija. Vlad gave Franklin unbreakable claws via a supernaturally-dense metal that was applied directly on to his bones while also giving him an enhanced durability factor. Franklin's claws are now unbreakable by any means necessary.

  • Regenerative Healing Factor: Franklin's primary mutant power is an accelerated healing process that enables him to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with far greater efficiency than an ordinary human. He can regenerate greatly damaged or destroyed tissue with few seconds. Franklin's accelerated healing powers have been commonly referred to as his mutant healing factor. The full extent and speed of Franklin's healing factor isn't known. He has been shown to fully heal from numerous gunshot wounds, severe burns covering most of his body, and regenerate missing eyes within a matter of seconds. Among the more extreme depictions of his accelerated healing factor involves him having his skin, muscles, and internal organs incinerated from his skeleton only to fully regenerate the tissue within minutes.

Skills

  • Genius-Level Intellect: Franklin is a polymath genius with a genius-level IQ and is probably the 6th smartest person in the world. He is said to possess an eidetic, or commonly known as "photographic" memory, although none can say for sure. He has been able to manage two companies with ease as well as break down super-materials like Viperium to learn its formula in order to re-craft his very own version of the metal.
    • Polymath: He has studied Biology, Technology, Mathematics, Physics, Mythology, Geography and History. During his five years away from home while he wasn't attending any schools per se, Franklin was learning with some of the best mentors, trainers, and teachers the world had to offer. Franklin spent those five years in foreign countries outside of America and away from the distractions his own home had to offer regarding celebrity scandals and tabloids. Franklin also dropped out of seven schools during his youth because he originally found the studies "too hard" and wasn't going to need them, but during his time away he learned all about the basic subjects taught to him in school. By the time he was 23 he had already learned Criminal Science, Forensic Sciences, Computer Sciences, Chemistry and Engineering and later in between ages 24 to 26 he learned all about Security Systems (which wasn't that hard to understand due to his military training), Biology, Physics, Advanced Chemistry, and Technology. Then lastly He had learned Forensic Sciences, Medical Sciences, Expanded Computer and Engineering Sciences.

  • Body Language Analysis: Franklin can intuitively read others' body language, allowing them to anticipate their actions and respond accordingly, often allowing the user to predict opponent's attacks.

  • Business Management: Franklin Carter has extensive skills and experience in business management, has thorough understanding of financial marketing and management and is often known as a example of successful industrialist and businessman, he can run two businesses from the ground-up and have little trouble keeping up with recent events that unfold within one of the two of them.

  • Chakra Augmentation/Manipulation/Meditation: Franklin spent some time in Japan where he met a fellow teacher who was a practitioner in Chi manipulation named, Wu Chikara. Wu taught Franklin how to relieve himself of stress, have better mental focus, and teach his body on how to heal faster. Wu knew there was indeed something different about Franklin that the healing part shouldn't be a problem for him (hinting that he must of sensed the presence of Franklin's latent healing factor), but did in fact teach him in how to harness Chi and turn what was his own life force into a living weapon per se. Franklin will sometimes use his Chakra training to further power his physical attacks, even if they do leave him drained time-after-time. Franklin is very much in fact still in contact with Wu and sometimes goes back down to Japan to meet him whenever he is ever feeling lost or needs some guidance.

  • Diplomatic Immunity: Carter Enterprises is a widely known organization and has companies across the globe, for this reason alone Franklin can travel anywhere he pleases without having government organizations like UNTIL stopping him. Carter Enterprises also has connections with some of the few most powerful companies the world over and is an international-based business. The fact alone that Franklin may have to leave Millennium to go on another business trip to go over to a foreign country allows him to base over most borders and not risk being chased by the border police. Carter Enterprises is also connected with UNTIL which monitors most threats around the globe so Franklin often takes advantage of this and usually uses it to keep a sharp eye on the Guild of Shadows, the Overlord, and sometimes the Nest of Snakes as well as The Iliuzijas.

  • Intense Military Training: Due to Franklin's forced eight years in the military he quickly adapted to the wartime he served while he was away from home. This alone gave shaped Franklin into who he is today by imbuing him with things like peak human conditioning and even strength far before his mutant powers even activated. His intense training over the past eight years allowed him to become a master if not expert or skilled at the following:
    • Expert Hacker: Franklin knows instinctively how to hack through difficult mainframes of information and bypass intensively difficult levels of online security. He can also hack the systems of incredibly complex devices and weapons to aid him in various situations.
    • Interrogation: Franklin is able to extract information from his opponents through various means, the use of the Bad Cop Technique involves the means of Intimidation, scaring them, inflicting pain, or psychically extracting the information.
    • Intimidation: There were times Franklin had to use intimidation as one way of gaining information. Franklin can invoke fear into the hearts of his victims either through the use of threats or menacing monotone voice he will use just to get what he needs.
    • Investigation: Franklin possesses unnaturally high skills in investigation and can uncover even the most elusive of secrets with enough effort.
    • Master of Disguise: He possesses remarkable prowess in disguise and acting that makes him able to easily blend in to society and the world around by developing different aliases, looks, and personality for each disguise he puts on or makes up.
    • Mechanical Aptitude: Proficient at combat driving. Has learned improved vehicle designs. Was trained and proficient in basic vehicles operations.
    • Surveillance Expert: He possesses great knowledge and skills of surveillance, able to spy on and map out areas with ease and gather intel.
    • Torture: Franklin demonstrate skills with torture devices, he can use them to make their targets break from the extreme pain and suffering, usually now ranging from using his claws, or threatening to break his victim's arm or hand or leg, or finally simply promising to either kill or break every bone in his victim's body until they finally give up.

  • Martial Arts Master: Taking up an interest in self-defense as a better way of being prepared for a fight, being the commonly known rich boy in school. Franklin has trained with some of the best martial artists the world has to offer, its undetermined how many he plans to uses but he still seeks to become the best there is, as he fears losing his mutant gifts and becoming powerless. So far Franklin has learned Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Kung Fu, Boxing, Jujitsu, Capoeira, Ninjitsu, Aikido, Eskrima, Chin Na, Wing Chun, Muau Thai, Krav Maga, Judo, Aikijujutsu, Hapkido, and Hebjitsu, a martial art created by VIPER which Franklin happened to learn after a brief battle with Mechaniste caused him to somehow remember it, hinting that Franklin might also possess photographic reflexes. Franklin most likely plans to learn more in the following years, but the main purpose is for because he likes to be prepared and after surprise attacks on him by organizations like VIPER and the Guild of Shadows has left him overly paranoid and sure to ready for the next time they hit him again. Especially if they ever catch him during a time hes not in costume.

  • Master Acrobat: Carter is proficient in gymnastics and acrobatics.

  • Master Inventor: Franklin can invent various devices with special properties when needed. He possesses engineering abilities and intellect that makes him a peer and has proven to be able to invent and create weaponry that rivals their engineering capabilities. Franklin can also duplicate practically any other technologies after learning how they work or by glancing at the designs.

  • Medical Intuition: Franklin has great medical knowledge, enabling him to easily treat others' injuries and create medicines. He can also cook up concoctions and remedies for ailments with nearly anything in one's environments.

  • Pressure Point Intuition/Paralysis: Nightbeast possesses immense knowledge of pressure points and nerve clusters, and can produce a variety of effects by striking said pressure points in just the right way, ranging from unconsciousness, paralysis, and even death. If Nightbeast chooses to paralyze his opponent, he can immobilize the target completely or partially, causing them to be left without movement and sensation. Making motor functions and muscle movement unavailable, the victim may freeze on the spot or crumple to the ground.

  • Expert Marksman: Franklin is an expert marksman. He is skilled with throwing projectile weapons, archery and firearms. He has been practicing such skills since the early days of his training and is capable of throwing almost anything in his hand into a weapon, this can range from knives, playing cards, toothpicks, lockpicks, keys, etc. This expert level of skill is unique to Franklin by default since he gathered some skill back during him and his dad would go on hunting trips together and later when he joined the military where his proficiency greatly increased over those past eight years. It is unknown now that his mutant powers activated, that his marksmanship has ever increased anymore now that he no longer uses many 'ranged' weaponry as he used to back in his past.

  • Master Stealth Artist: Carter's Ninjitsu training has made him a master at stealth and capable of breaching high security facilities without being detected.

  • Multilingual: Before doing his whole traveling around the world montage during his teenage years, Franklin took multiple foreign language classes so he can better understand the people of where he went and their native language. Franklin has learned Spanish, French, Latin, German, Japanese, English, Russian, Mandarin, Greek, Portuguese, Arabic and can speak them very fluently.

  • Skilled Swordsman: Franklin is also very proficient with a sword. He has beaten several skilled and expert swordsmen and women in a sword-fight. He can deflect an incoming bullet, arrow, knife, etc. with either a sword, staff, pole, anything that can qualify as a sword to Frank.

Equipment

  • Beastsuit: As Nightbeast, Franklin wears the Beastsuit, the armor was made specifically for if Franklin lost his powers he could survive almost anything til he gets to safety. The Beastsuit is composed of bulletproof padding that can even withstand laser rifle blasts. The suit is even environmentally-sealed using Plexiderm, a flexible alloy which can withstand extreme temperatures, an item of Nightbeast's own design and manufacturing. Finally the suit is fire and electric proof. The mask is composed in small part by lead, which shields Nightbeast's face from identification via x-rays. It has also an infrared viewer and auditory sensors. The mask is outfitted with security systems (aggravating gas, electric blasts, etc.) like the utility belt. The mask is also a transmitter-receiver. Although possessing a healing factor that can heal wounds in a matter of seconds the armor is like Franklin's "second skin" and keeps him alive if he ever lost his regenerative healing factor. The Beastsuit also keeps in-touch with H.E.C.T.O.R and monitors Franklin's vitals, constantly giving him updates on whats wrong with him if he sustains a serious injury during most fights.

  • Compressed 'Hard Light' Energy Shield: A gadget of his own design, Nightbeast carries with him a energy shield that is produced via his left wrist gauntlet. The shield was made for the finest things from blocking point blank laser fire to small missiles and medium range explosions. The shield also can absorb most kinds of elemental energy such as electrical ranging down to fire and ice, it also can be detached and used a weapon that can be thrown and have a ricochet effect bouncing off of enemies before finally redirecting itself towards Nightbeast via a homing mechanism built into the gauntlet. If the shield is ever broken it can be reconstructed through tiny, minuscule microbots that reshape the shield's hex plates back into its original form. Lastly the shield can be remote controlled from the right wrist gauntlet and take full control of the microbots telling them to 'steer' the shield in the direction Nightbeast wants it to go.

  • Corrosive Gel: A direct 'spin-off' from the Cryogenic Foam. The Corrosive Gel is self-explanatory as its main function is to simply melt through objects by secreting out a highly, fast acting acid from it's containment gun. Nightbeast carries at least three to four canisters of Corrosive Gel as it apparently runs out faster and a lot quicker than the Cryogenic Foam.

  • Cryogenic Foam: Nightbeast utilizes what he calls, "Cryogenic Foam" or "Freezing Gel/Foam" in short. This gadget was created through using his very own technologies found at CarterTech, it works by spraying the foam on a weak surface or even metals too strong for Nightbeast or the average superhuman bruiser can't get through. Once the foam is sprayed on it's desired surface it halts (stops) the molecules flowing through the object resulting in it to freeze over either in small or large patches, once it looks like its done the object is susceptible to breaking by a punch or kick, no matter how light or heavy. Nightbeast also has a habit of spraying the foam in his signature "night symbol".

  • Dog Tag Tracers: Franklin has developed a special array of pocket-sized tracer units which he simply calls "Dog Tags". The Dog Tags can go incognito and blend into whatever it initially comes into contact with by warping the light around it to make it become invisible. The tracers' signal is monitored by H.E.C.T.O.R through Franklin's gauntlet comm when hes out as Nightbeast. The Dog Tags can hold a signal for long amounts of time until they are ever taken off or destroyed either through electrical-based damage, electromagnetic pulses (EMPs), or simply being stepped on after they are initially discovered.

  • Plexiderm Microweave Mesh: The microweave robs incoming objects of their momentum; bullets do not ricochet off, but simply fall to the ground when they come in contact with the weave. Likewise, the Beast cannot be stabbed, however, the costume (and Beast) can be cut if the attacker slashes along the uniform's grain.

  • Gauntlets: The gauntlets that Franklin wears when patrolling as Nightbeast has a plethora of different functions. The gauntlets main purpose are for keeping in contact with the Beast Family via a built-in communication system and of course H.E.C.T.O.R. Inside the gauntlet is a mini computer linking to the Beastcomputer in the Beast Lair that is capable of summoning the Beastclaw, criminal files, maps and was able to locate anyone in Millennium City. They also harbor a prototype Molecular Transporter, which in other words allows Nightbeast to temporarily teleport via microbots also built into his suit but the Transporter is never used unless in extreme emergencies as the microbots will exert too much energy to teleport a full grown man and will be fried after the first initial use. Lastly The gauntlets are able to deflect direct sword-based attacks as the during his first meeting with the Guild of Shadows left him barely able to deflect their attacks as his previous gauntlets at the time weren't able to withstand taking a strike attack from a sword.

  • Holographic Decoy: This is compact disk that hides within Nightbeast's belt. Upon dropping against the ground the disk creates a convincing, realistic decoy of Nightbeast, confusing enemies and soon with the press of buttton the decoy can be armed to explode, knocking anyone within it's blast radius unconscious.

  • Investigator Mode: Connected via telemetry communication with the Beastcomputer in the Lair, Investigator Mode is a gadget in Nightbeast's mask that highlights usable objects and scenery. It can read heart beats, conditions, see through walls, and display skeletons, but it can re-wind a crime scene to see how the death/crime was committed via the Beastcomputer. However, the actual people in the crime scene (both the assailant and victim) lack detail, appearing instead only as nondescript holograms whose movements are estimated from environmental clues, meaning that it is not completely accurate. The downfall with the Investigator Mode is that it is capable of being jammed through electromagnetic interference and often times results in Nightbeast having to make "quick work" of the person with the jamming device so he can destroy it and be able to use Investigator Mode again.

  • Verbatium-laced Skeleton: Not part of Franklin's natural mutant attributes, Franklin's entire skeleton is laced with the rare, artificial, and virtually indestructible alloy known as Verbatium. As a result, Franklin's bones are virtually unbreakable. The presence of the Verbatium has further enhanced the already razor sharp edge of Franklin's claws. Aside from being practically indestructible, the claws are capable of cutting any solid material, with the known exception of Kendrium and Questionite. However, Nightbeast's ability to slice completely through a substance depends upon the thickness of the substance and the amount of force he can exert. The Verbatium also weights his blows, dramatically increasing the effectiveness of his punches and kicks.

  • Viperium Daggers: Viperium is an experimental light-weight super-metal created by VIPER for their body armor. Franklin managed to manufacture his own version of Viperium and incorporate it into the form of daggers he can use to cut through almost anything.

  • Questionite Bindings: Handcuffs made basically for containing and metahumans. Sometimes used on super-powered or normal everyday thugs and gangsters.

  • The Dog Whistle: This tiny microchip resides in the mouth piece of Nightbeast's mask. This was made by the redesigning of UNTIL's U-ELC Screech Owl Pistol and taking the special sonic sound chip and incorporating it into his mask. It is activated by reading the brain's neuro-electric pulse. Upon activation the chip pierces the eardrums of enemies within a 50 foot radius.

Plexiderm®

Metal tubes by hazza42-d314vuf.jpg

Plexiderm is a resilient metal that is vastly stronger than steel, but more malleable and cheaper than Questionite. Plexiderm is as durable as Questionite and other super-metals like Kendrium and Destrium while retaining the malleability to allow movement to be more free-flowing and non-restricting. Carter Technologies also distributes Plexiderm to groups like UNTIL and PRIMUS to aid in their production of cutting edge power armor for their lineage of Silver and Golden Avengers and other many agents.

Originally named Flexium, Franklin Carter accidentally created a new metal that is strong as both tungsten and steel but is able to keep its malleability. Because of this Franklin was quick to copyright it and now he legally owns the name and properties. Franklin only entrusts few to know the formula, treating it more like the legend of Mjolnir and only few who are 'worthy' are able to know the secret formula on how to make Plexiderm. Franklin has also utilizes in his Plexiderm element in his adventures as the feral, vigilante Nightbeast often using the metal in creation of most of his power armors, gadgets, suits, and vehicles. He also distributes Plexiderm to the rest of the Family as well. Most of the time to just re-enforce their costumes and personal tactical armors.


Armors

Every hero must prepare for an upcoming battle someway, somehow. Thats where Franklin's advanced IQ comes in! Franklin has been studying the superhumans of Millennium City and figures that its about time he take his crime-fighting career to the next level by building Power Armor, inspired by Harmon Labs breakthrough Holo-Hex Mark IV Power Armor as well as Warlord's he took that maybe he should build power armors of his own meant for very specific superhumans or locations, below is the following armors created so far.

ARMOR 002

Organicarmor.png

BIO-ORGANIC POWER ARMOR

Real Name: Bio-Armor MK 1
Powers/Abilities: Bio-Plasmic Blasts, Wrist Talons, Camouflage Mode, Pseudo-Organic Tendrils
Origin: Science
After taking a business trip to Canada to visit an ailing uncle, the place became overrun by an alien race known as the Roin'esh. Since "Nightbeast" was commonly said to work within Millennium City limits rendered me unable to change suits along with the fact most of Canada known that Franklin Carter was in town. The Roin'esh invasion did inspire me to make this sweet Bio-Armor, perfect for stealth and combat missions and it holds up pretty good due to it being made of Flexium.


ARMOR 003

[[File:|300px|center|]]

THE FAMILY CRUCIBLE WAR-SUIT

Real Name: The Family Crucible
Powers/Abilities: Pulson Particle Technology, Sonic Weaponry, Corrosive-Acidic Blasts, Kelvarite-Radiation Blasters
Origin: Science

Designed in case the Nightbeast Family ever grew to be too unstable or go rogue, Franklin designed what he called, The Family Crucible. The Crucible Warsuit takes all of the weaknesses the Family shares with one another and turns it into a weapon. Of course no one knows about this armor's existence and thats how Franklin likes it. He himself admits that he is in fact very paranoid and when that day comes when the Family were to go rogue. He already has a backup plan in mind.


ARMOR 004

Groundbuster.png

GRONDSMASHER POWER ARMOR

Real Name: Green Giant Armor
Powers/Abilities: Radiation Resistance, Flight, Energy Blasts, Enhanced Durability, Enhanced Strength
Origin: Science
This Armor was built for whenever I join a super-team of some sort and we all decide to take on the Not-So-Jolly-Green-Giant, Grond. This Armor isn't for defeating Grond its for offering enhanced resistance and durability from his immense strength, speed, and temper.


ARMOR 005

Monkeycrusher.png

QWIJIBOBASHER POWER ARMOR

Real Name: Monkey Buster Armor
Powers/Abilities: Plasma Blasts, Fission Vision, Flamethrowers, Jet Repulsors, Flight, Enhanced Strength, Speed, Durability, Plasma Cutters
Origin: Science
The Qwijibobasher Armor, or the Monkey Buster Armor as I like to call it was made specifically for combating the fire monkey himself, Qwijibo. This Armor uses plasma energy blasts and cutters which are way more powerful then Qwijibo's baseline fire attacks, although this armor may rarely be used its best to at least have it made for just in case I ever visit Monster Island.

Vitality Trench

Nightbeast's Vitality Trench in a separated cavern in the Beast Lair

The Vitality Trench is a well located within a cavern deeper within the Beast Lair. The Vitality Trench was discovered by a raid on the Beast Lair orchestrated by Vald'os van Iliuzija and carried out by his daughter, Tarian van Iliuzija and the Guild of Shadows. Tarian revealed that the Trench was discovered by her father centuries ago after saving a prince's life, but after the prince fell into the trench he died but his spirit remained trapped within the green contents of the Vitality Trench. It was how Tarian's father earned the name, "Vlad'os" as like "Vlad the Impaler", her father purposely killed people and took their life-force to remain young and strong for eons.

Nightbeast later did some more investigating into the Trench and discovered that it rejuvenated parts of the brain that were slowly deteriorating with a person's chronological age and enhanced back to near peak-human levels if not more than that. Further analysis by Vlad'os revealed that the lingering souls trapped within the Trench's contents are the source of the rejuvenation process as once they are exposed to organic material they immediately flow to it as they have been detached from their original bodies for quite some time. There is only two Vitality Trenches in the world and those two is the one in the Beast Lair and another in the Guild of Shadows undisclosed hideout.

Weaknesses

  • Animalistic Instincts: Nightbeast's mutant physiology gives him the attitude and characteristics of a feral animal. These instincts can be near-uncontrollable for him at times so one angered, annoyed, or even threatened he tends to respond with the strength of a bear and the deadliness of a wolf.

  • Attempted Spinal/or Brain Damage: Franklin stated that if any damage done to his brain or even his spinal cord could cause problems for his healing factor. The fact alone that his brain plays a major part in his healing process, if it is ever damaged even slightly his healing factor can be slowed and as for his spinal cord if that is ever damaged it could mean a slower healing of the damaged nerve cells.

  • Corrosive Acids: Due to how corrosive products can do constant damage, Franklin's healing factor will have a rough time healing from an injury that is consistently being eaten away at by the minute.

  • Kelvarite Exposure: Franklin's powers and healing factor act awry when he's around Kelvarite, the radioactive energy Kelvarite gives off. Whenever around this strange item his healing factor can begin to become unstable and won't heal him as quickly.

  • Magic: Magic seems to effect Franklin dearly, most likely due to that his powers are of mutant origin instead of the usual supernatural. For this reason alone, Franklin does his best to avoid magic at all costs.

  • Paranoia: Nightbeast refers to himself as being very paranoid, having to need a back-up plan for every situation if he can think of one. He shows example of this by making major modifications to his suit and casually swapping out his equipment and gear with each mission he goes on despite having metahuman abilities to help him take on the foes he usually faces. Though he does like to mention that its purely for whenever the time comes where he may lose his powers or they get taken away for a temporary amount of time.

  • Pulson Particles: Ironically, the strange energy that Franklin's own company takes interest in, is actually one of his weaknesses. Pulson Particles have a chance to burn right through Franklin's skin.

  • Verbatium-related Weaknesses:
    • Verbatium Poisoning: The chemical formula used to make Verbatium is highly toxic and poisonous, only Franklin's advanced healing factor is what's keeping him alive long enough to ward off the poisoning. Its effects are similar to that of cancer and begins to spread once it is given time, thankfully for Franklin he doesn't have to worry about this.

  • Vulnerable Senses/Sensory Overload: Franklin's only other "weakness" is the fact that his heightened senses can be taken advantage of. For instance, sonic weaponry can nearly kill him due to his heightened sense of hearing.
