Half PintName - Alexandrovich Romanov
Alias - Plutonium
Age - Physically he is 15, but chronologically he is well over 80
Appearance - He dresses in very early twentieth century Russian attire, which includes a red fur coat and a black Ushanka with the Romanov royal family crest on the front. His pants are black wool and his footwear consists of black winter boots. Alexandrovich also wears snow-goggles and black fur gloves.
Personality - Alexandrovich is a boy out of time and still acts like a person from the very early 20th century. He is rather formal most of the time, but he is a huge monarchist thanks to his family being the once great rulers of Tsarist Russia. His family being killed helped fuel his dogmatic views other non-monarchist politics, and it is because of this that he hates communists with a burning passion, especially the Russian ones.
He has made several jokes about how he would be tempted to let a civilian die from a villain if he knew that they were a communist, but this has never happened yet and most think it is just his crude sense of humor. His political view is monarchist with a bit of authoritarianism mixed in. Alexandrovich has huge respect for law and order as well as divine authority. Even though he fervently disagrees with the representative republic system of the United States he does have grudging respect for America for being the enemies of Russian communists.
Alexandrovich is also fairly religious thanks to the royal family being heavily tied to the Russian Orthodox Church and he is a firm believer in God. There are three insults that he can't stand, insults to his family, country or religion.
What is definitely true is that he has royal temper and will make rash decisions if an enemy pisses him off enough. Insulting his family or country outside of the time it was communist will infuriate him and he will be prepared to get into a full blown argument. Despite these flaws to his character, Alexandrovich is very courageous and has a good sense of honor. He will never abandon his friends and comrades, and isn't afraid to face death. Alexandrovich is also rather smart and perceptive.
He does suffer from bouts of depression and emotional instability thanks to seeing his family die and the fact that he it is no longer in the world that he had been born into. This still doesn't stop from his using his powers to try and bring some good things back into the world. How he handles this huge change in his life and his current situation is that he believes that God has given him a second chance at life.
Gear (optional) - his goggles have inferred and night vision, as well as a tracking and targeting system.
Power/ability - Radiation Absorption: Alexandrovich can absorb all kinds of radiation even the radiation found in the sun's rays as well as the light that comes off of the moon. If there is a high amount of harmful radiation in the environment then he can absorb it into himself in order to clean the area of the contamination. This gives him a huge reservoir of radioactive energy, which he can draw upon. Finally absorbing radiation can speed up his bodies healing process and allows him to recover more quickly from non fatal wounds and also revitalizes his stamina and body strength, he technically doesn't even need to eat to live and keep up his strnegth.
Radiation Manipulation: This power allows him to manipulate the radioactive energy within himself and the environment around him. His main use of this power is to fire off blast of extremely hot radioactive energy.
Radioactive Flight: Alexandrovich is able to fly by using his manipulation of the radiation in light to bounce off of the particles in air and is capable of high speed flight. This ability works best when in direct sunlight and at night it is easier for him to levitate then actually fly since it will start to use up his own energy reserves of radiation.
Thermal Resistance: He has an extremely high resistance to heat and cold, which allows him to survive temperatures that would be deadly to normal humans.
Weakness - His main weakness is that if his energy reserves are depleted then his powers will become very weak and it takes several hours to get back up to near full power. The more energy he uses the more drained his reserves can become. Despite his healing capabilities, Alexandrovich is still vulnerable to being killed be basic human weapons such guns, swords and bombs. If he absorbs too much radioactive energy then he will experience great pain and it can overwhelm him. Even though it is not technically a weakness, the radiation in his body makes it dangerous for others to make physical contact with his skin for long periods of time and this has caused him to fear letting other get romantically involved with him.
Bio - Alexandrovich was born in 1906 to the Russian royal family the Romanovs, and from the moment he could remember he was always a bright and happy child. He honored his family and loved them dearly, it was part of his dream to make them proud and find a way to fix Russia's problems. The state of the nation was not a good one and he hoped to help change that and renew the bonds between monarchy and the people.
But things would go horribly when the revolution happened and the communist party took over his country. They hated the monarchy and wanted to see them gone forever. Alexandrovich was afraid and he wondered what would happen with them next since his cousins were being held prisoner. He then heard the terrible news of his cousin the Tsar and his family's death. This death pained him greatly since he had a close relationship with his distant cousins, especially princess Anastasia.
They soon came for Alexandrovich's family and they were forced to try and flee the country. But their attempt escape to one of the neighboring nations were hopeless when the Reds intercepted them near the border of Russia. His father decided to sacrifice himself in the hopes that his family might live and he ordered them to run while he and his body guards stayed to fight. Alexandrovich and his family tried to run, but they were shot near a frozen lake and were thrown into the freezing water.
The communist bastards didn't even kill them before they were tossed in the freezing water and just assumed that they would all drown. That's when a meteor of incredible size fell from the sky and struck the Russian wilderness. The meteor released an intense and strange radiation that killed the soldiers who had murdered his family, but Alexandrovich survived thanks to his dormant metagenes activating when the radiation hit the water and changed around his biology to absorb radiation.
With his new powers Alexandrovich was spared death and went into a hibernation sleep for many years. He was freed thanks to the shifting temperatures of the world's environments and he awoke to find himself in the 21st century. His wound was healed thanks to his body absorbing the radiation from the impact of the meteor and he hadn't expected to be still alive after experiencing the horrible sensation of drowning and freezing to death.
Upon learning that he was now in a different century and that the Russian royal family had been dead for decades, Alexandrovich was devastated by the reality of his life now. Everyone he knew was dead and he had no family anymore. His hate for the communists reached a new level and he was glad to see that the Russian soviets had fallen and were now a thing of the past.
Realizing that he also had incredible abilities, Alexandrovich sought out some people of this time period and equipped himself with some high-tech goggles and his personal costume, he became a hero by the name of Plutonium. It has now been a year since he awoke from his long slumber and he hopes to become a powerful enough hero to one start to wage a one man war against all forms of communism. The Justice League of country America eventually came to him with an offer to join a team of younger heroes and he was not very interested at first, but he did realize that he had a long way to go with learning how to fully control his power.
He eventually agreed to their offer and he left out his plan to one day wipe out communism in the world. No he would keep that secret to himself and reveal it when the time was right. Even though he was more used to being alone, a part of him that he didn't like to show too much wanted to find others to make friendships with. Alexandrovich just hopes that his comrades don't die like his family did and he would do whatever he could to make sure that horrible nightmare never happened again.
Notes - he loves meat and his favorite music is classical. Alexandrovich also is a big fan of animated film Anastasia because it is about his dead cousin who is alive in the film.
