Gladiator

Powers:

Agelessness (s): after his strange transformation into a being of ever-increasing molecular density, Randy has effectively evolved out of human physiology (if not human anatomy) completely. Thanks to this new stage of life, Randy no longer has cellular activity, and as such, he can be assumed to be effectively ageless; he isn't immortal, but at the same time, he also has no eventual life span.

Body Armor (s): Randy's main power is his strange, ever-increasing density. 1.5 years after gaining his paranormal powers, he had become so dense that he sank into the ground, and was so resilient to injury that he could withstand direct nuclear assaults. This essentially translates into a +5 protection against physical assault, though this defense may have grown even stronger since then.

Invulnerability to Disease, Radiation, and Toxin Attacks (s): in addition to his impressive resistance to physical harm, an immunity to damage that basically makes him untouchable by any force on earth, Randy is also apparently immune to the harmful effects of radiation, disease, and poisons. This isn't due to his density so much as it is his effectively inorganic nature.

Life Support (s): due to the strange changes in Randy's physiology, he no longer experiences most of your standard physical processes. As such, in his words, he 'don't have to eat or go to the bathroom'. He also likely has no further need to breathe or drink water, and he definitely no longer needs to sleep. This should be considered an intensity 15 power.

Hindrances:

(none)

Skills:

Boxing (s): though his other skills are as of yet unknown, Randy definitely has the ability to use his body as an extremely deadly weapon. He can divide his total action score between two attacks, the last of which will occur as a contingent action in a given exchange.

Calling:

Guardian: despite his questionable actions and his caustic attitude, Randy envisions himself as the protector of the nation he loves: the United States of America! To this end, he will do anything, including combat the entire Soviet army, in order to ensure America's continued existence in the modern world.

Costume:

None. Randy has no costume, for he has taken to walking around in the nude. That's right, the nude. No clothing whatsoever.

Personality:

Randy's pretty dull. Not boring, as it were, but somewhat slow in nature. New ideas and concepts come slowly to him, and he got his notion of taking on the U.S.S.R. from a book he read. However, once he does come up with some idea, he pursues it with reckless abandon, regardless of the consequences.

Story:

Not too much is known about the background of one Randy Kellog. However, it is known that after the White Event, he changed - a lot. He began to grow heavier and heavier, though he stayed the same height. He also put on a whole lot of muscle after his change, turned a solid gray hue, and lost every last strand of bodily hair on his body. In short, he couldn't really pass for normal.

This didn't really bother him for a time, however, as he learned how to walk despite his ever increasing body weight, and basically got on as though his life was the same. Randy's attempt at normalcy ended after he read a book about the Soviet Union, a work of fiction that detailed a means of defeating the U.S.S.R. - mostly by toppling the main government in Moscow, and replacing it!

Randy became obsessed with this idea and, fueled by his own President's 'Evil Empire' propaganda, decided to act it out. To this end, he hijacked a Japanese freighter while it could still support his weight, and made his way to the Soviet Union. Once there, he latched onto a central Siberian rail line, and began to follow it to Moscow. However, the Soviet army disagreed with his notion.

As such, they threw troops at him, and tanks, and all manner of mechanized divisions, but all of these failed. At their wits' end, the Russians did what they thought they must: they dropped a nuclear bomb on Randy. The only problem was that by this time, his molecular density was high enough to shrug off even this deadly assault, marking him as immune to all earthly weapons!

However, as his actions caused world tensions to increase exponentially, Ken Connell, the Star Brand, appeared to investigate these strange nuclear detonations within the U.S.S.R., and came into conflict with Randy's plan. Trying to save the world, Ken attacked Randy, but Randy managed to blunt even the power of the Star Brand (at least, in Ken's hands). Mere brute force wasn't Ken's only trick, however.

Since he couldn't bludgeon Randy into submission, Ken picked Randy up and pitched him out into deep space, at a velocity near the speed of light. As he has yet to appear on earth since then, it is assumed that Randy continues his unintentional trip through the universe to this day, continually gaining density as he cannons through space at breakneck speeds...
