pop_trash_heroPhysical description (face, build, weight): According to official sources, 6'2, 380 lbs, I like the purple Kirby energy form so I'm keeping it. He still has pride in his action star good looks.
Age: Perpetually 22 due to his powers (which might have stunted his maturity a bit). Actual age is somewhere in his 40's.
PB: (If using one.) Alex Lundqvist
Abilities: Super strong, super tough, can fly. In his ionic form he's much more durable to the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." Overall, he loves kids, cartoons, and small animals and generally has a good heart. Money is not an issue, nor is rallying the public.
Weaknesses and flaws: Doesn't age, can't die, doesn't like it much. He has massive self-image issues he covers up with humor and rock star demeanor. Lots of fame makes for a double-edged sword and he's a little focused on the image heroes project. His biggest flaw and power really is that he's a very flawed, human guy who wears glamor well but it doesn't make him as happy as he thinks he should be. The public loves him, but has a hard time taking him seriously.
Character location/Home: LA. He says he's out there for his career. The truth is, I think something happened to make him want to be out there away from heroing, especially in a group setting. Giving Wanda and Vihz their space was also a likely factor.
Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero.
Relatives (living/dead?): Good question what happened to anyone except Wanda. I'm game for anything.
Backstory: Most of it I can skim over. Evil brother...listened to him and embezzled from his father's dying company...Baron Zemo...selling out the Avengers...turning the tables on Zemo...Ultron used him to make Vision...Recovered from death...fell in love with his "brother's" wife...He got into films and consoled himself with starlets...became a HUGE ego case...got better...Became a West Coast Avenger...had a cliff dropped on him...
From there I'd like to talk with Anna about what she's done with Wanda. Bottom line though is that Simon's heart and life never really left LA after the WCA break-up. He's never really forgiven Tony for making that vote official and more and more he drifted west and focused on solo work - hero-ing, charity and films.
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: He is in Hollywood and has been for a long time. The Defenders are out there. He's been resisting getting pulled back into day-to-day Avengers business, but the call back to duty will prove too strong.
What are you planning to do with this character? Making him a mentor figure to the Defenders whether they like it or not. I wouldn't mind him patching things up with the old school Avengers that I don't think he talks to as much anymore. I'm really curious to know what's up with him and Wanda especially since he won't tell me.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: Like Tony, I see him as sort of an on-call character/story support. I'm tempted to have him adopt a kid at some point or just repair damage his family has.
