Profile

Power Pack attack! It's been a while since anyone's heard that battle cry. But now, one-quarter of that famous foursome is back in action. Alex Power spends his days as a (slightly above) average high school student and his nights (after homework, natch) fighting for JUSTICE. Evil-doers, beware! (Part of) the Pack is back!

Description

Description:

Light hair and light eyes give this teenager a friendly and approachable vibe. The hair on his head is thick and full-bodied, blonde fringes often falling into clear, blue eyes. His face is pleasantly round, with a squarish chin, a slender nose, and an expressive pair of dark blonde eyebrows. Standing at an average height for his age, his build is similarly average, but it's clear he leaves an active and vigorous lifestyle.

History

History:

Alex Power is the firstborn of Margaret and James Power. A sister joined him a few years later, then a brother, then another sister. As a boy, he admired and took after his father who was a well-respected profesional in the scientific community. He and his siblings' lives changed forever when their father, who working for the United States government, built a machine that could produce a large amount of energies by combining matter and anti-matter.

An alien Kymellian named Aelfyre Whitemane learned his father's discovery and intended to stop it as he found out that the device was near identical to the one that destroyed his ancient homeplanet. And then there was another alien race, the Zn'rx, who planned to take this device, or the knowledge on how to construct it, and use it to conquer inhabited worlds. The Snarks kidnapped Alex's parents attempting to force Dr. Power to reveal the secret of his device. Whitemane was able to save the Powers children, including Alex, from being captured but was fatally injured in the process. Dying, the alien gave one of his powers to each of the four Power children and told them to use their new abilities to save their world.

Alex received the power to control gravity and took up the name Gee, and the four children called themselves the Power Pack. They defeated the Snarks, rescued their parents, and destroyed Dr. Power's dangerous matter/anti-matter converter, saving the Earth from destruction. The four children continued to have adventures as Power Pack, assisted by Whitemane's Kymellian Smartship, Friday.

Somewhere along the line, they hung their capes in favor of real life, school, and dating. But now Alex wants to establish himself as an individual, claiming the name 'Zero-G' and striking out as a solo hero.

Personality

Personality:

Alex is a confident and well adjusted teenager, friendly by nature and always willing to lend a hand. He's bright and handles the responsibility of being a superhero mindfully, but he can sometimes be far too serious for his age and on occasion have explosive tempers when someone (likely a good friend or family) does something he feels is wrong or irresponsible...but he's never afraid to apologize afterwards.

Abilities

Click to expand.

Gravitokinesis:
A gift from the Kymellian sorcerer Whitey, Alex has the ability to create fields of gravitons and anti-gravitons, theoretical subatomic particles that possess or counter gravitational attraction. These fields are more or less invisible but leave a footprint of minute, black particles over his arms or legs and the affected objects. They allow him to increase or decrease the weight of himself as well as other people or objects around him, and even control gravitational pull for direction. It is easier for him to be in contact with the person or object, but time and experience have matured his ability and his fields can extend around a city block, without strain.

This power can be broadly broken down into decreasing or increasing the effect of gravity. He can negate the gravity such that he can lift and move objects and landmasses weighing several tons, and increase it so that a person is suspended in a gravity field ten times that of Earth's. A tank could be as light as a feather while a broomstick might weigh as much as a treadmill.

By careful reduction of the gravity around him, he also can fly! Originally, he needed assistance for direction and speed, but nowadays he can hover and move at will by altering the gravitational pull of his body. His top speeds are capped at Julie's cruising speed. Brushing hypersonic speeds but not quite breaking the sound barrier.

Lastly and certainly least by Alex's estimation, he can increase the gravity on himself or a part of his body, and effectively deliver a heavy, super-gravitized blow. This was invented and coined "Super-G punch" by Jack.

Healing:

All of Power Pack have the ability to heal themselves by transferring life force, usually on a subconscious level. It works best when the four are united, but Alex has demonstrated his capability to access this on his own. At peak and with concentration, he heals at a highly increased rate and has an enhanced immunity to sickness; broken bones heal within a couple of hours and lacerations in a minute. Even without the others, he can still bounce back from injuries at half the rate of a normal person.

Skills

Click to expand.

Education:
Alex is a gifted student with an incredible work ethic. He consistently passes his classes with flying colors and already scored near-perfect on the SAT. He has a mind for numbers and shows particular talent with chemistry and biology.

Technology:

Complex coding, alien technology, super gadgets...Alex has a knack for computers. He has been piloting Friday (with help from him/her and his siblings) for years now.

Resources

Click to expand.

Fame:
During his years in the Power Pack, Alex established connections to all sorts of superheroes, scientists, mythical creatures, and alien ambassadors. The Pack is particularly well known in New York, where they're based, but they have literally fought and resolved intergalactic wars. Chances are you've heard of them.

Kymellian Costume:
Made with Kymellian tech and unstable molecules, this costume is unaffected by the negative effects of Alex's powers. With a simple command, it appears from and disappears into an extradimensional space, altering itself for specific necessities such as space travel or underwater adventures. It also contains a built-in communicator, a translator (containing Earth's languages and most alien tongues), and a pocket dimension with a capacity of storing about twelve cubic feet of space, provided the item can pass through the foot-long opening.

Smartship Friday:
Friday is a starship which is controlled by a computer system so advanced that it is effectively sentient, with a human-like personality. Friday acts as a well-meaning mentor and advisor to the Power Pack. She (or he, the Pack argue over the ship's gender to this day) has a limited ability to change shape. Mostly this is done to provide for needs and comfort. Friday is also able to travel through different environments including underwater.

The Pack:

The Powers are a super close-knit bunch and provide a solid emotional foundation for superhero business. Without his parents or his siblings, there's no way Alex could do the things he does, and despite everything, he knows he can count on them for support and vice versa. Always.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Bad Rep:
Because of the fame Alex obtained when he was younger as a member of the Power Pack, he's often associated with them to this day. This isn't always a bad thing, but truth be told, they were just a bunch of kids. Sometimes he just isn't taken seriously because of it.

Family:
Alex feels very responsible for his siblings, even as they approach adulthood, and especially so towards his parents. Sometimes his concern for his family clouds his judgement, and he will make rash decisions in order to protect them.

Pack Bond:
The Power Pack is a family affair, and the siblings have shared much in their lifetime. They share an origin, and have even swapped powers from time to time. Consequently, some of their secondary powers lessen when not in proximity to each other

Power Source:
The Kymellian race have the latent potential for superpowers, and those among them that master theirs are called Sorcerers (no relation to how earthlings think of magic or sorcery). This source can be unreliable and change hands just as easily as the dying Kymellian explorer Whitey gave his abilities to the Power children. An especially powerful Kymellian Sorcerer could strip Alex's powers from him (as he did to his siblings once) and technology that stimulates this process can, too.

Rogues' Gallery:
Every established hero has their set of villains, and the Power Pack was no different. Their enemies span from perfectly human schoolyard bullies to nasty corporations and on to the entirety of an alien race known as the Z'Narx.

Temper:

Alex is a smart kid, but he gets frustrated easily. Often this manifests in verbal outbursts and explosive (not literal) tempers that can be detrimental to the task at hand.
