Origin:
Davy Mitchell is an altered human, a young man who was exposed to bizarre energies thanks to the meddling of the diabolical Agent Axis. Not only was he not harmed by said exposure, but he'd gained fantastic powers that he used to fight evil as the Human Top!
Known Powers:
Whirlwind: Davy's main power is his ability to create a massive whirlwind about his body by spinning at extremely high speeds. He has this power at Remarkable (30) rank, which allows him to utilize the following effects:
* Tornado: the air around Davy, as mentioned above, is moving about at tremendous speeds, and anybody within the same area as Davy (while he's spinning) will take Remarkable (30) Blunt or Edged attack damage.
The damage type depends on whether or not stuff is flying around in his tornado (edged=stuff, blunt=no stuff). Furthermore, Davy can lift up to one ton of weight with this tornado (a Remarkable (30) amount of mass).
Furthermore, Davy can use his tornado to grapple opponents, keeping them suspended in the whirling air around him. This is a Remarkable (30) rank Grappling attack, but once a target is caught, it requires a Monstrous (75) Strength (or applicable power) FEAT roll to escape.
* Super Balance: Davy has developed an unbelievable sense of balance (kind of necessary when spinning at Remarkable (30) speeds). As such, he is effectively immune to the effects of dizziness or vertigo, even if induced by super powers.
* Armor: while the whirlwind is in place, Davy is effectively shielded from certain types of harm. He has Remarkable (30) resistance to physical attacks (BA, BT, EA, ET, Fo, or Sh) while spinning, as the wind blunts the force of incoming damage.
* Multiple Attacks: Davy's Fighting score is considered Amazing (50) for the purpose of multiple attacks while spinning, as he can make up to three melee attacks per turn while his Whirlwind power is active. In addition to the tornado effect, even!
Equipment:
(none)
Quirks:
(none)
Talents:
Botany: as a floral arranger and delivery guy, Davy would need a basic knowledge of plants in order to simply tell them apart. His Reason score concerning planty matters should be considered +1 CS compared to others of like intellect.
Martial Arts Type E: as fast as he was, Davy sort of had this martial art style by default, which boosted his initiative rolls by 1 every turn of combat (unless he rolled a 1, of course), assuming he was fighting in an unarmed fashion.
Trivia: Davy Mitchell was an avid baseball fan and often used quotes eluding to baseball, both in regular life and while working as the Human Top. As such, his Reason score (concerning any sort of baseball matter) should be considered +1 CS.
Contacts:
A member of the Kid Commandos, Davy Mitchell can readily rely upon his three team mates for help should he need it. Furthermore, being active as a high profile domestic super hero, he can likely request aid from his peers and the U.S. Military in a pinch.
Costume:
While active as the Human Top, Davy wore a somewhat simple costume. It consisted of green and black striped, stretch fabric trousers, a green and black striped stretch fabric shirt, the latter of which had a blue collar, green and black striped boots, and a blue belt.
Personality:
Though an avid baseball fan, Davy was an otherwise normal teenager who stumbled into the fantastic upon meeting the Invaders. He wielded his newfound abilities with aplomb, and was more than happy to do so in the service of his country - especially considering its enemies.

Story:
Little is known about Davy's history, save that he was an orphan who quite literally stumbled into the kidnapping of a then-critically wounded Toro from the Pacifica General Hospital. A witness to the hero's abduction by Agent Axis, Davy was also taken hostage by the fiend.
As it turned out, Agent Axis had several other captives as well, including Bucky and a Dr. Sabuki, whom he'd intended to perform a bizarre procedure to split him into his three component selves; the villain was in fact three separate Axis agents somehow merged into one.
Strapping Davy and Sabuki's daughter, Gwenny Lou, onto the equipment Dr. Sabuki was using, Agent Axis never got to see his plan bear fruit, as the injured Toro woke up and attacked almost immediately. In the ensuing fight, the equipment Davy and Gwenny Lou were strapped to exploded!
Instead of killing them outright, the bizarre energies released actually gave the two youths super-human powers. Davy himself gained the ability to spin his body at amazing speeds, a skill he decided would come in handy as a super-hero in his own right... the Human Top!
The four angry super-powered beings chased Agent Axis off, even though two of them were freshly empowered, and went about tracking him down. Finding him at the same War Relocation Camp Dr. Sabuki was abducted from, the four teenagers soundly trounced the man.
Of course, this 'Agent Axis' turned out to be Namor in disguise, who for some reason thought it would be prudent to use the identity as a good test of the youths' power and conviction. Of course, the Sub-Mariner said he 'only' used the amount of power that Agent Axis had access to.
Nonetheless proud that they managed to defeat the legendary hero, they decided to stick together... as the Kid Commandos! The quartet were mostly active domestically, fighting Nazi infiltrators, attending war bond rallies, and working hard to boost American morale.
Davy and his fellow Kid Commandos performed these duties for the remaining duration of the second World War.
