Name: Dr. Hans Eisenbrecht, MD
Codename: Professor Primate
Age: Over 100.
Gender: Male
Place of Birth: Berlin
Affiliations: Berlin Cigar Club, US Military's Super Soldier program (2012-2014), Berlin University professor of Neurology (1960-2000), American Medical Association
Occupation: Surgeon
Appearance: A silverback gorilla walking on its hind legs, often wearing scrubs (gotta keep the operating theater sterile) or a tweed suit (a certain etiquette is expected of professors at a university).
Powers: He's in a gorilla body modified by an early draft of a super soldier serum, providing him with the strength and agility of a gorilla and surprising longevity .
Skills: A tremendously skilled neurosurgeon, as he was able to successfully transplant his brain into a genetically modified gorilla's body. He's also a fairly good shot.
Equipment/Resources: A taser (it's less lethal than most weapons) and field medic's kit. Given that his profession often deals with robots, this includes welding torches, as well as jars to maintain peoples' brains.
Weaknesses: Several Nazi scientists want him dead for defecting.
Psychological Profile: Dr. Hans Eisenbrecht suffers from Science-Related Memetic Disorder, often cackling madly as he experiments with a nerve lattice or observes an insulin-producing bacterium. He is, however, remarkably stable for a German scientist who worked in the 40's, and sticks to the Hippocratic oath as best he can. With over a century under his belt, he feels that he's experienced and will often give advice to younger team members.
Biography: Professor Primate, AKA Dr. Hans Eisenbrecht MD, is a German born in the late 1910's. He passed his classes with top marks, eventually attending medical school at the University of Berlin. However, as the years chugged on, he began to notice which way the tide was turning, and defected to America shortly before the second world war. Renowned as a neurosurgeon and geneticist, he was welcomed into the American scientific community, often being tapped to help treat wounded soldiers returning from abroad. After the war, he returned to Berlin to take up a teaching position at the university. He held this position for 40 years before deciding to retire.
However, in the wake of the Awakening, the American government approached the old think tanks and defecting scientists, hoping to create superpowered beings of their own as a defense against the supernatural. Enjoying the company, and as a way to thank the country that sheltered him during the war, Hans accepted. As human testing was deemed unsafe, this entailed working with numerous toxic and radioactive chemicals in order to test various formulas on gorillas. While some were more successful than others, a routine medical examination uncovered a malignant tumor in his stomach. Rather than lay down and die, Dr. Eisenbrecht decided to put his knowledge of the human (and now gorilla) neurology to work and stole one of the failed gorilla corpses- a circus ape named Bonzo that choked on a toilet paper roll. In the dead of night, he began the procedure that would give birth to... PROFESSOR PRIMATE!
This was rather a shock to the personnel at the lab, as not only had Hans managed to steal a gorilla corpse, but he was the first to successfully perform an interspecies brain transplant- let alone the first to manage to transplant their own brain, a feat that has earned him much renown in the medical world, and secured him a guaranteed position on any government projects involving surgery. With the dextrous hands of his gorilla body, he is able to perform astounding surgeries once again, and is now working with superheroes in an attempt to protect and heal those who save the world. However, that's not the only reason he's working with the League- a bunch of superpowered individuals with very little red tape to cut through provide better protection from mad scientists than Uncle Sam can.
