Name: Knucklebones
Powers: Stone/EM
Origin: Science
Born the son of genteel hobos, Knucklebones was raised in the arts of the road. Learning the long con, short con, and fixing games of chance; skinning a mark so that they enjoyed it and came back. Knucklebones and his kin were no villains, they performed a valuable service: providing a safe place for the gullible to shed excess wealth without endangering themselves or others.
When a boxcar housing a top-secret government shipment was sabotaged and derailed, Knucklebones and his family were bathed in solutions meant for genetic experimentation. Though all would have survived, Knuckles alone was far enough away from the sabotage explosives to escape death.
Knucklebones found himself growing at an alarming rate, and at times able to stand as immovable as stone. His strength, now grown to immeasurable proportions, enables him to withstand crippling punishment, deal gargantuan blows, and leap across entire city blocks.
Learning that the scourge of the road, the Scumbums, were responsible for the botched hijacking attempt, Knucklebones vowed to wipe them from the face of the planet. Tracking the Scumbums across the country, he has followed them to Paragon City.
Now Knucklebones; rogue, scholar, con man, hero, rights the wrongs wherever the road takes him. Though he will never tire in his quest to avenge his family, woe be to any villains who cross his path. He squashes all evil with indiscriminate abandon, and foes tremble when they hear his name.
"Here comes Knucklebones!"
