Costumed Personality: As 'The Tiger', Marvin is less brazen than his boxing persona, and he uses his prowess in the ring to aid him in his crimefighting escapades. He is callous and calculated, and often does not speak while the mask is on. Civilian Personality: Cocky, pompous, arrogant, conceited. Hayes ring persona takes after boxing legends of old, and even outside of the ring he behaves like a celebrity. Super Abilities: High Class Metahuman -Skills: Fast hands: Hayes' boxing training combined with his metahuman conditioning serve to make his hands blindingly quick. -Powers: Perfect Equilibrium: There is a reason Hayes has never been knocked off of his feet in a fight--inside the ring or otherwise, his nigh-indefeasible balance. Marvin can maintain his balance with any contortion of the body, regardless of how awkward or unnatural it may be. MMA: He is training to become a mixed martial artist. Powers: Regenerative Durability: Much of Hayes livability is thanks to his extreme healing abilities which allow him to heal normal wounds in several seconds. He can withstand standard caliber gunfire and continue fighting. Mortal wounds can kill him depending on how severe they are. All-Around Low Superhuman Physical Condition: Marvin;s physical condition is low superhuman level. He is strong enough to lift above nine hundred pounds overhead, can run at a maximum of 40mph, etc. Superhuman Inteligence: More than just a fighter, Hayes has studied engineering for a great portion of his life. His metahuman gene has increased his above-average intelligence to great heights. Decelerated Aging: He ages much slower than normal. Every five chronological years is as one biological year to him. -Gadgets: The Suit: Though still a proto-type, Hayes' costume is a mesh-weave kevlar laced with titanium alloy to provide additional protection against projectiles (namely bullets). Currently, Hayes is researching ways to implement kinetic-dispersion technologies into the suit. For now, the costume serves as an extremely lightweight and flexible alternative to his earlier and much more weighty rendition. -Weapons: None. Civilian Occupation: Professional boxer Biography--------- Character History/Origin: Born in Detroit, Marvin grew up in a lower middle class section of the city. He was not one who had to fight his way through hordes of gangs and unsavory kids to get to and fro to school. As the middle child of four, he and his siblings always had what they needed save having to share the same pair of socks a few times. In school, he hardly got in trouble and he spent much of his time studying; he took a particular interest in mathematics and engineering and soon began building and creating all kinds of tech. It was not until he got into an altercation with boys several years his senior that his interest in boxing piqued. After being jumped, Marvin began frequenting boxing gyms all over New York. For his size, Hayes excelled in training, but he was small. Unlike many of his peers, Hayes did not grow exponentially while in the throes of puberty. At 5'6 and 190 pounds, and lacking the requisite reflexes and footwork to turn professional, Hayes' boxing aspirations were all but dashed. By the time he was 20, he had grown two inches and put on five pounds. Hayes kept training and gradually he improved--both his footwork and his speed had gotten sharper over the eight years in which he had been training. It was not until his twenty fourth birthday and several amateur fights and later 10 professional fights that his life would change and his dreams become more than gleeful wishes. November 3rd, 2019; the title fight. "Miraculous" Marvin Hayes faces "The Demon of DC" Christopher Ives. (This is where he will begin in the RP.) Optional information ---------- Nemesis: None yet.
