When not on patrol, Bert has a shaved and shined head and no facial hair. He has an emaciated look, with good musculature under skin that ends up resembling sweaters in a vacuum bag. When he goes out to fight crime or perform espionage, Quicksilver wears a set of resistant black pants and a pair of black steel toed boots. He wears a black glove on his left hand, which helps keep the weighted punching hand intact when hitting something or someone hard. On his torso, he creates the alchemical symbol for mercury on his chest like an emblem with his mimicry powers so that it stands out in dark silver. Similarly he manipulates mercury to cover his lower face with something that resembles a mask of silver mercury and manipulates his eyes in the same way.

Age - 25

Brief Bio - Bert was raised and lived in a landlocked city surrounded by fields upon fields of crops. He worked at a law firm that specialized in environmental issues, and when a food corporation known for its use of GMOs set up shop at a local farm, he went out to snap some photos and see if anything was being done illegally. He was horrified to learn that they were using a good portion of their land as a landfill and a facility. In the pursuit of truth and justice, he slipped into the underground facility to find a complex in which there were a large number of seemingly different experiments being performed. When an alarm went off, he quickly darted into a room to hide, but ended up exposed to a variety of chemicals and energies in an experiment room, which lead to his powers. After draining through a floor grate, he reintegrated and woke up outside and naked -- and confused -- but soon learned the extent of his abilities and used to it pursue a combination of revenge and environmental justice. He came to Millennium City after hearing that the same corporation who was operating in his home city opened an office there.
