thank you! he's going to be a lot of fun, i hope. cp time:
he's your classic oh no the dangerous thing exploded, now i have superpowers! story. except the explosion wasn't all that impressive. the exposure set off some latent mutant genes in himself and another coworker. a few days later he turned up to work completely metallic and got all huffy whenever someone pointed it out because you can't just ask people why they're metal, susan until hr finally dragged him in. he learned how his powers worked so his super strength, etc wouldn't cause any problems in the workplace and went right back to living his life as he always had. his attitude about the whole thing is basically "well, that's super science for you". he lives in the danger zone apartments with ~vinewhip et al, comes from a massive family with about half a billion sisters, is everyone's big brother, and absolutely useless as and ill-suited to be a hero.
he's the type to be running right along with them with like, stragglers on his back going step lively now, step lively in his most royal pronunciation because that's what americans listen to. he's probably let a few cars ping off him in his time, but that's as involved as he gets
