History

Tetsuo was born to parents too busy to deal with him. His father was a successful businessman, while his mother went shopping with her high-class friends. They had moved from Japan to the U.S. when Okazaki Inc made it big. Tetsuo was less than a year old. His parents' neglect left him with an empty feeling, and a lot of time on his hands. To pass the all that extra time, he took up martial arts and kendo, learning how to wield a traditional Japanese blade. But as he reached puberty, mutant abilities began to manifest themselves. Strength, speed, agility, enhanced senses, wall-crawling. Without his parents to help him deal with what he had become, Tetsuo went out among the rooftops of his home: Gothic City. He saw that not everyone had as cushy lives as he did; they suffered while his parents scraped every last penny from them. He saw how crime ruled the streets and heard of the vigilantes fighting against it. Tetsuo felt that the heroes were going about it all wrong. Sure, they hurt the criminals and left them for the police, but thanks to that, a lot of criminals went free due to inadmissible evidence. That was where Tetsuo got his idea. If he became one of those super heroes, the criminals would surely escape justice. So Tetsuo decided to become a villain. At least, to the common man. By making the gangs think that he was on their side, Tetsuo could get evidence on them that normal vigilantes would overlook. Setting that plan in action, Tetsuo's alter-ego was created; The Samurai Beetle. As far as the criminal element was concerned, The Samurai Beetle was a yakuza who wanted to hit it big in the U.S. What they wouldn't know was that he was taking them down from the inside.

Powers/Abilities

Superhuman Biology: Samurai Beetle possess strength, speed, and durability beyond that of a mere human. When under enough stress, he is able to lift up to twenty tons. His body is able to withstand extreme force, able to shrug off a collision with a bullet train. He also seems to have a sort of exo-skeleton, making him impervious to many types of damage such as stab wounds. He possesses endurance above and beyond what could be considered superior, able to perform tasks that would stagger an Olympic performer without breaking a sweat. He has also been known to recover from wounds rather quickly, although no faster than a very, very healthy human.

Enhanced Senses and Agility: Samurai Beetle has very good hearing, taste, sight, and smell; able to detect noises a few blocks away, and scents up to a mile away. His sight is sharp enough that he can see a person's muscles twitch and react to them instantly. Tetsuo has agility and flexibility rivaling that of even an Olympic gymnast.

Wall Crawling: Like his namesake, Samurai Beetle is able to cling to surfaces with his hands and feet.

Kendo: True to the "Samurai" part of his name, Samurai Beetle is a master of the Bokken, a wooden sword usually used for practice or sport. The bokken is blunt and hard, making it a perfect crime fighting tool.

Detective Skills: He may not be a master detective, but Samurai Beetle is able to figure things out by putting two -and-two together.
