Codename: Bruise Brother
Real Name: Magnus Frendo
Origin: Mutant
Powers: Invulnerability / Super Strength
Magnus Frendo and his wife Felicity were a happy married and worked as Senior Reactor Operators at the country most prestigious nuclear power plant, Terra Volta. That was until the day the Freakshow decided to strip the plant of its technology and cause the reactor to go supercritical.
Magnus was able to stop the chain reaction and hold the Freakshow at bay until the New Guardians arrived to thwart their machinations, but they were not in time to stop the kidnapping of his wife. The memory still burns deep within his head.
You fool; you think that you can stop Dreck, you are just a gnat in my presence echoed over the PA system in containment. The Tank boss had Felicity draped over his shoulder like a rag doll. His whole being was taunt with a murderous rage.
Have your petty victory, I will keep this pretty bobble until next we meet, he bellowed. Before Magnus could react the boss was gone, winked out of existence.
Magnus sacrificed his life to stop the chain reaction, only to have his wife taken from him and his life burned away. A latent gene is what saved him and the city; an aberration in his DNA. The lethal dose of radiation coupled with the adrenaline brought on the metamorphosis and left Magnus as he is today, a hulking mass of muscle incapable of feeling pain. What was Magnus Frendo was incinerated the moment he entered containment, what is left is the Bruise Brother.
He stalks the streets for justice; he stalks the city for Felicity.
