Goes by: John, Talbot, Sir John
Code name(s)/Alias(es): Woden
Affiliation: Himself
Gender: Male
Age/Birth date: 45.
Place of birth: The Talbot estate outside of Manchester, England
Height: 6'1" (naturally), 6'4" (in Svalinn armor)
Weight: 175 lbs (naturally), 350 lbs (in Svalinn armor)
Hair: White
Eyes: Right eye is blue, the left eye is a mechanical prosthesis with a blinking red light for a pupil.
Education: Has several PhDs from Cambridge and expertise in several dozen other scientific fields.
Occupation: Scientist, supervillain
Family: A dead mother and a father on life-support. A dozen or so first and second cousins scattered across the UK, Europe, and North America and an elderly Uncle in New Zealand.
Criminal record/citizenship: Formerly British citizen, now wanted criminal world wide.
Personality: His personality is like fire and ice, with one half cold, calculating, and unfailingly analytical and the other half passionate, vindictive, and melodramatic.
Powers: Originally powerless, Woden created (using samples of blood from Mister Magnificent charged with the hero's power) a serum that he consumed. The serum which he called the Idunn serum (after the Norse Goddess who tended to the Golden Apples of myth) unlocked his innate power to control reality with his thoughts, allowing him to unconsciously enhance his body according to his expectations of the serum's properties. The serum also turned his hair stark white.
Powers granted by the Idunn Serum:
-Biological Immortality, resistance to disease and poisons, and improved regenerative abilities.
-Superhuman strength: Woden can lift far in excess of 100,000 tons without strain. He can also run at speeds approaching half the speed of sound and hurtle across vast distances with single leaps
-Vastly improved durability: Woden's muscle, bone, skin, and epithelial cells are all highly resilient to virtually all forms of harm.
-Nigh-unlimited stamina
-Improved reflexes
Gear:
-Mechanical eye which offers the following benefits:
--Thirty different modes of vision
--Audio/video recording
--A constant stream of data sent directly to Woden's brain.
--A compact supercomputer fused with Woden's brain that vastly boosts his already impressive mental faculties and coordinates his technology
--Vastly enhanced reflexes
-Svalinn armor: An incredibly advanced suit of silver-white armor made from an intricate complex of talbotinum nano-cells. The suit also includes a cape weaved from fine threads made from talbotinum nano-cells, meaning it has only slightly less durability than the armor.
--Added protection: the Svalinn armor projects a dual layered force field around Woden (one that hugs his form and another that forms a bubble of sorts) that can stand up to tremendous punishment. Additionally the environment within the shield is under the armor's regulation and is warded against all but the most powerful psychic infiltration attempts.
--Inertia generation: When activated this feature means that forces that would ordinarily send Woden rocketing away scarcely budge him.
--Increased strength, the exact magnitude of the increase is unknown but with the armor Woden is at least 10 times as strong if not more. For comparison purposes an ordinary human wearing the Svalinn was able to lift and lob 18 ton dump trucks as if they were baseballs, so the increase is likely vast.
--Gravity manipulation and flight (Mach 500 in atmosphere and much greater out of atmosphere)
--Energy projection: the prime nodes are located in the palms of the gauntlets and can release devestating blue-white energy blasts that can be modulated to impart concussive force, heat, or both at once. The destructive potential of a hand blast can be tuned to destroy one person without harming someone standing next to them at the most precise or to wipe out a major city at the highest setting. Woden can also create mini nodes around the surface of the armor to release omnidirectional waves of energy.
-Gungnir: Named after the mythical spear of Odin, Gungnir is made from talbotinum
--Has a blade precise and sharp enough to cleave molecular bonds.
--When thrown by Woden it can deliver a pure kinetic impact that may shatter mountains and cause earthquakes. If enhanced by an energy pocket the effect becomes vastly more cataclysmic.
--Hologram projection: Woden can project life-like holograms over vast distances, complete with sounds. Some of them even have programs with limited AI and some can manifest as hard light constructs, though their stability decreases in proportion to greater range.
--Energy manipulation: Woden can attune it to absorb ambient energy from a number of sources and convert said energy into other forms.
--Energy projection: Gungnir can project destructive power as beams, blasts, or waves to much greater potency than with the Svalinn's nodes. With Gungnir Woden has vaporized Saturnian moons with single bursts while on another occasion firing a beam so precise that it was able to discretely remove an incipient cancerous tumor located in a hero's brain without damaging any surrounding tissue.
--Teleportation: Gungnir allows Woden to teleport instantly to any location he knows of.
--Weather manipulation: Gungnir can manipulate meteorological phenomena on a global scale, to the point that Woden once utilized it to temporarily quell Jupiter's storms.
-Nanites: Woden can release a swarm of nanites that respond to his thoughts. These nanites can hijack pieces of technology, can be used to assault enemies internally, and can be used to rapidly assemble equipment that Woden needs in a pinch.
Weaknesses:
-Arrogance
Other: Likes Southern Rock.
