Examples of his arsenal includes: [list] Explosive Boomerang: Detonates on contact, damage to all in one area. Razor Boomerang: A boomerang capable of cutting through bone and flesh when thrown correctly. [/list] Both of these designs are collapsible for easy concealment. [/indent] [color=a187be][b]Origin:[/b][/color] [indent]Migrating from Australia into the US at an early age, Fred's mother sent him away to baseball camp for his first summer in the country, in an attempt to get the boy to make friends and to take his mind off the move and her recent divorce. Sending Fred to the camp turned out to be a good decision, as he quickly grew to love the sport, joining his local team after discovering he had the arm to be a great pitcher. He soon began to dream of pitching for a major league team one day. Amazingly this dream seemed to come true, with Fred becoming a professional baseball player in the minor leagues after graduating high school, before entering the major leagues a few years later. However, it was during this time that Fred seemed to fall into a bad crowd, and after a while built up a considerable dept with a local loan-shark. In an effort to pay back his debts, Fred began taking bribes to lose games so that his loan-shark could bet on him. This plan backfired tremendously, however, with Fred getting caught out and suspended from playing baseball any more. His life fell apart after that, with Fred simply staying home all day and refusing to leave the house. That was when he was approached by the Secret Empire, an international criminal organization who felt that Fred had the potential to be of great use for them due to his world-class pitching skills. Due to his Australian heritage, they aptly named him Boomerang, equipping him with a costume, as well as a collection of razor-sharp boomerangs. After robbing a small bank in Brooklyn for the group, Fred wasn't happy with his cut, considering he had done the heavy lifting. Due to this, Fred gave an anonymous tip to the police on the group's location and had them arrested. Keeping the suit, Boomerang soon branched out on his own, performing a variety of minor robberies. He was soon confronted by the amazing Spider-Man, and after a short scuffle found himself behind bars. Fortunately for Fred, he soon found himself back on the streets due to the Court not finding the note left on his webbed-up body as sufficient evidence of his crimes. As such Boomerang was back in action. However, all he needed now was a decent job…[/indent] [h3][center][u][color=a187be]STORY INFO:[/color][/u][/center][/h3] [color=a187be][b]High Concept:[/b][/color] I want to tell the story of a henchman within the criminal underworld, and i feel like Fred Myers is the perfect choice to play the low-life scoundrel that lives such a life. I really like the idea of a low-level supervillain having interviews and encounters with New York's top dogs, and just struggling to find a job within such an odd market. [color=a187be][b]Motivation and Conflict:[/b][/color] Plain and simple, Fred Myers needs money, much like the rest of the costumed criminals that make up New York's underworld. Unfortunately, Fred certainly isn't the best at what he does and is quite gifted at getting himself into predicaments. He's low down in the food chain, yet he has his eyes on being one of New York's top dogs. [color=a187be][b]Notes:[/b][/color] [hider=NPCs][list] [*][color=a187be][b]Herman Schultz AKA Shocker:[/b][/color] Frequent foe of Spider-Man, Herman was Fred's cellmate during his most recent stay in the slammer. After getting out the two have stayed in touch, with Herman being one of Fred's only friends in the "business". [*][color=a187be][b]Phineas T. Mason AKA The Tinkerer:[/b][/color] An inventor who designs advanced weaponry for criminals, the Tinkerer runs an underground fix-it shop disguised as a radio repair shop. Fred is a regular customer of his and constantly goes to him to see if he's heard of any odd jobs going. [*][color=a187be][b]Anthony Davis AKA The Ringer:[/b][/color] Fred's self-proclaimed rival in the criminal business.

[b][color=a187be]Why [i]This[/i] Character?:[/color][/b] The Superior Foes of Spider-Man is one of my all-time favourite series and as such has given me a love for Boomerang. As such, i want to tell a story that pays homage to him! [b][color=a187be]What Can You Bring to the RPG?:[/color][/b]
