[b]Abilities:[/b] 
[list]
Metallic Coat- Fergus is able to "learn" the properties of any metal he touches which allows him to coat himself in that metal. The effect is quick but isn't immediate, and the more metal that comes into contact with his skin, the faster he is able to produce them. However the effect isn't permanent, Fergus will "forget" after a period of time which causes his metal coat to crumble into dust and he will have to touch that metal again to regain his armor.

Enhanced Strength & Agility- To compensate for the weight of the metal, Fergus was granted superhuman strength and speed. He is able to dodge hits easier when not fully armored, but when he is fully coated, he's slowed slightly but better able to brush off hits depending on the metal. 

Metallic Claws and Sword- Fergus is an expert in close combat, besides punching with his metal fists, Fergus forms his nails into metal claws for quick cuts. He is also able to form a makeshift sword with his forearm given some time.

[b]Back Story:[/b] 
	Fergus was a champion martial artist and one of many to be recruited into the U.K.'s secret Project M.E.T.A.L(Men Enhance Their Appearance Lethally). Instead of creating weapons for soldiers, scientists decided to make the soldiers themselves the weapon. They created a serum that theoretically allowed humans to "learn" a certain metal, produce and control them through their bodies to form weapons of their own. This project came close to failing as all but one candidate managed to survive the serum. The rest could not control the production of the metal and turned their whole bodies into steel, worse are those who fail the final stage of controlling the metal and end up locking themselves in a prison of their own metallic body. 

	Fergus was the only one to survive the whole ordeal, and the scientists believe the key is in his genes. They trained him in armed combat, and any time they needed to assault a heavily fortified location they sent him, a one man army armed with nothing more than a chromium ball which allowed him to coat his hands almost instantly and his whole body after a while. He lead a relatively normal life with family and friends, but he is often cooped up in the lab when off duty for scientists to draw his blood to create the perfect serum. 

	However they never could produce the right serum, every time the test subjects would suffer like those who took the initial serum, and it was never found out how exactly did Fergus accepted the serum. Fergus also came to notice a side effect of using his powers, every time he sheds off the metal, his skin would grow anew, making him look as if he was as young as the first day he got his powers. Tired of watching innocents suffer for the dreams of some mad scientists and watching people around him grow old while he looks young, he single-handedly destroyed a maximum security laboratory and killed off all the scientists to stop the research from continuing. Knowing his capabilities, the government decided not to pursue him but kept him on constant surveillance. 

	Now Fergus never uses his powers, but he has always kept his chromium ball handy in case any trouble arises.
