Here is another character I've been working on. He is based on a concept I saw in the "Hero System" section at the bottom of this site and Garrison Kane. I'd really like feedback on this, especially for his main powers as they are both a bit hard to make work within a reasonable stone count. I'd really like to get him down to 50w stones, but I'm already skimping in most areas to make it work without going overboard on disadvantages. I'm still working on the bio.
Name: Kirk Kinkaid / Squad

ABILITIES (13w)
----------------------------------
Intelligence 3
Strength 5
Agility 3
Speed 4
Durability 4
Health 4
Energy Pool 12
Recovery 6
*NOTES*
I really wanted a speed of 7 to be able to pull off the cool stunts like running up walls and on water. The Speed for initiative option would have also been a consideration. I also wanted a bit higher strength. But there just wasn't enough stones to go around.

Bio
-------------
Kirk spent two days in the hospital mostly as a safety precaution. Miracualously the young man had escpaed nearly unscathed. It wouldn't be for another six months before the true results of the incident would become known to him. Having spent the last two years since high school trying to break into the pro wrestling business he was beginning to lose hope. He was attending a tryout with one of the minor wrestling federations when a most unusual thing happened. His opponent irished whipped him into the ropes. As he bounced off he suffered a momerntary cramp in his left side. It only lasted a second, but the reason for it was quite clear and utterly amazing. an exact duplicate had emerged from his side and was now running next to him. They two twins stared at one another, so lost in their shock that they slammed into their equally stunned opponent. Panicing Kirk fled the ring and then the arena out into the Las Vegas desert.
Over time he learned that with but a thought he could create one or sometimes more duplicates of himself. Each of these duplicates took on one of his more prominent character traits like sarcasm, cockiness or courage. The duplicates maintained a mental link with him all of them acted as one individual. He pondered how best to use his newfound power. It was tempting to use his power to gain personal wealth, but in the end the goodness and desire to be a hero won out and he began fighting crime under the codename Binary - since usually he could only create a single duplicate.
His antics brought him to the attention of Weapon-X. Having existed long before he was born, the top secret organization had been experimenting on mutants since the early ninteen hundreds. Mistaking him for a true mutant they captured him after intensive study decided he would be the perfect test bed for their greatest experiment. Recently they had managed to create a type of liquid metal that under the right circumstances could reshape itself into various forms. First they remeoved much of his organic musclulature and replaced it with Muscle Plus a cybernetic muscle twice as strong as natural human muscle fibers. Then they implanted Reflex wiring, syntetic nerves that attached to his existing nervous system enhancing his agility and reflexes. After adding an adrenal boosting gland which increased his speed nearly tenfold, they were ready to add the liquid metal into the mix. They grafted the metal to his flesh on his arms, upper torso and shoulders and his upper thighs.
After some intial testing deemed the experiment a success they decided to further enhance his abilities. They injected a swarm of healing nano-bots into his blood granting him super endurance and the ability to heal at a highly accelerated rate. finally they implimented a targeting system into his left eye which would allow him to more precisely aim his liquid metal blasts, which had been a highly unexpected but welcome addition to the experiment. Wiping his memory and renaming him Sqad they then set him loose to wreak havok upon the world.
Unfortuantely even their brainwashing could not get rid of his hard coded desire to be a hero and soon creator and creation found themselves at odds. A few mnoths ago they decided to pull the plug on their little experiment and sent one of their best teams out to destroy him. The confronted him in what was once an abandoned facility once used to test time travel devices. during the battle one of the long dormant devices activates sending Squad and quite possibly -though he doesn't know for sure- his foes back through time into the present day.
Lost, confused and thus far alone he has already begun to make an ame for himself as a hot young hero.
