Name: Nathan Hommes (Alias: Powderkeg)
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Power Level: Mid-Tier High
Timeline: Modern
Appearance: Nathan has a slight athletic build. He wears a dark purple turtleneck sweater and black dress pants when he is out of uniform. As Powderkeg, he wears a black leather jacket, black motorcycle goggles and black jeans that are frayed and worn. He is also wearing a black shirt that has a blood red picture of an old fashioned push-box detonator.
Personality: There are two sides to Nathan’s personality. The other members of Baker’s Dozen call them the “Dud Powderkeg” and the “Lit Powderkeg”
Dud Powderkeg: This is Nathan’s true personality. Nathan is very polite, calm, rational, and a pacifist to the extreme. Nathan tires not to say anything that is even remotely offensive, and won’t resort to violence, even if it means to stop violence.
Lit Powderkeg: All of the rage, violence and hatred Nathan has avoided all his life given a mind and soul of it’s own. The Lit Powderkeg frequently takes control over Nathan. Lit is rude, crude, foul, sadistic and gruesome. In short, Lit Powderkeg is violence incarnate. Oddly, the two get along. Noone can figure out why.
History: Nathan was raised by two hippies, who pounded the importance of pacifism into his head since he could walk. Throughout life, Nathan was a frequent victim of other kids, having been picked on in almost every way. Nathan never got angry, he never bothered to fight back, he just took his anger and shoved it aside. This continued on into adulthood, where Nathan was frequently victim to con artists and muggers, whom he literally just gave his money to. Finally, after a day full of these events, Nathan was walking home when a bank robbery took place and a shooting broke out. Nathan looked over and saw the innocents that fell victim to the crime. Finally, something in the very back of his mind caved in. All restraint and control over Nathan’s mind shattered. His anger, taking a mind of it’s own after over 33 years of neglect, broke from its shackles. Nathan had become something inhuman.
Nathan woke up the next day without any knowledge on what happened. It was only until he read the paper that he found out that he had detained the gunmen singlehandedly, all the while taking several wounds that should have killed him. Nathan was hailed as a hero, but had no clue what had come over him. Since that event, his hold on his rage has weakened severely, and the it seems to come over him frequently. Eventually Nathan managed to stay conscious while this was happening, even managing to converse with his enraged self.
Nathan was found by the Swinger and Cookie, who were following rumours of a man who was said to “become the devil himself when his anger is unleashed”. Swinger and Cookie were highly skeptical when they first met Nathan, as he was acting like his normal self. It was only three days later, after Swinger had unknowingly insulted him several times (237 times, to be exact) and after Cookie had accidentally spilt hot coffee all over Nathan that the Lit Powderkeg was revealed to him. Since then, Nathan has joined Swinger and Cookie’s entourage. He is considered the “brute” member of the team.
Powers: Pyrokenesis: Powderkeg has total control over fire.
Immunities: Powderkeg can sustain far more than a human can, almost fifteen times as much damage. He is immune to fire and explosive attacks.
Explosion: Powderkeg can create explosive blasts anywhere, he is immune to these, so he can very well blow himself up as a kamikaze attack and still keep fighting.
Strength: While he doesn’t have speed, Powderkeg does have immense strength, about fifteen times a human’s.
Weapons: None
Weakness: Powderkeg’s powers are only active when he is the Lit Powderkeg, and sometimes he is not available when he’s needed. He is purely offense oriented.
