Background:
Elijah Maximilian Burns was once an employee at a top secret facility who contributed to the birth of an artificial intelligence and the primary engineer behind it's stolen prosthetic body. During this period of time however, Burn had a daughter who was dying of cancer, and was convinced by the AI for him to allow her to be downloaded into the AI itself to save her as he was taken advantage of during his time of grief and desperation. He accomplished this, in truth not saving his daughter but making a copy of her, before she died.
With the AI having been tampered with, years of research shunned, it was then sought to wipe the AI. Burns would not allow this, taking the AI and transferring it and the echo of his daughter into an artificial machine, M. The machine with one other person it downloaded into itself. left the facility. With his daughter safe, Burns himself fled, and locked himself into a lab. He found within this lab, conveintly, everything he would need to alter himself. courtesy of the AI he helped escape. Courtesy of the AI whom had escaped, Burns had for days of being locked within the secure lab, undergone drastic augmentations through a number of complex proceses. In the end, he had altered himself into something that could no longer be considered human anymore, something to be considered a cyborg or artificial lifeform. An organic and inorgnic being with a precisely engineered body, a cyborg of altered and augmented flesh. Using this new body based on various weapons and experiments throughout the facility, Burns managed to escape.
Having spent much time alone, Burns managed to regain his mental sanity and fortitude, now with his own goals and purposes, he moves about the earth searching and picking up the pieces the now destroyed machine left behind.
Powers and Abilities
Burns is a highly advanced full body prosthesis cyborg with access to numerous machines and features which aid him in combat. His foreign physiology gives his body alone numerous superhuman abilities and can be considered itself, a weapon when Dr. Burns uses it as so. His abilities being a result of his computer like mind, his body's vast physical capabilities, his nanotechnology and array of weapons and tools.
However, with each great capability comes energy. Often times, Burns must opt to forgoe some weapons and abilities to conserve energy.
Artificial Physiology
One of Burn's most powerful tools is of course, his "hypermind." Which is much more capable then that of a normal human. Burns' nervous system instead of using chemical and electrical synapses most organisms use, or electrical circuitry Burns uses light. This gives him a brain and mind much more powerful then a majority of beings. Giving Burns near lightspeed thinking at the most optimal of functioning.
His optically based nervously makes him completely immune to EMPs. In fact, Burns is very capable of drawing energy from electrical and electromagnetic energy based attacks.
Burns though considered a cyborg is very different from what most people would consider a machine. His body is most entirel composed of carbon, the same material that composes graphite, diamond, carbon dioxide waste and the very fundamental basis of natural earthly life, hence the term "Carbon based life form" for earthly organisms. Though Burns is a machine, he does not even have trace amounts of metals within himself. He has artificial "cell" like structures throughout his body, even located in inorganic components and features artificial muscle composed of an extremely strong carbon nanotube composite. This substance is engineered from the atomic scale and even has a cell-like structure that allows burns much of the luxuries of control fjinesse and harnessing energy cells can provide. Combined with a tensile strength in the range of 290-300 GPA, burn's muscle is extremely capable and durable. Combined with graphene reinforced joints and skin, and diamondoid bones, and Burn is remarkably durable for a being made of conventional materials . Generally Burn's body is very durable to blunt impacts. However sufficiently powerful large weapons such as artillery and sufficiently sharp or forceful "near indestructible/indestructible" items can harm him.
Incorporated into his body are even organs which serve a variety of purposes such as carrying different types of fuels, manufacturing and processing materials and a variety of other functions. Burns even has what functions as "blood" in the form of respirocytes. Which store much more oxygen then regular blood does and allows for him to gain energy from oxygen as normal organisms do. Incorporated further are various other machines from the nanoscale to macro scale, both factories and dissemblers capable of both destroying and creating most whatever Burns could desire. Quantum dots are incoprorated with said technology to even shift and move Burn's internal organs or even form it's own organs to fufill various purposes within Burn's body.. With complete control of his bodily functions, Burns is essentially, immortal in concerns to age. As long as he has energy of some sort to power himself, he will not die of natural means and could survive in a vaccum environment for perpetual periods of time, though he would have to rely on energy recieved from the stars and that is allocated about the area.
in addition, Burns has two graphene based blades mounted on the forearms, with controllable edges, optional vibration and the ability to channel electricity and other types of plasma at the cost of additional power. These blades that often come at the cost of strength and drastically reduce Burn's power however allow him to be able to clash with Adamantium and such substances, as well as deflect many other energy based attacks.
More power....
A large note of burns' abilities, and a sort of price, is simply how much energy he needs to keep going. To accmoplish tremendous feats of energy, burns needs tremendous amounts of energy. However...
If Burns has access to large amounts of power, such as tapping into a city's worth of energy....
Applications
Hypermind: Being gifted before his augmentation, Burns is even more menally capable now, able to think, react and process things at a much greater scale then he could before. He excels a multi-tasking and at solving equations, though less linear problems often take him slightly more time. His mind functions partially like a supercomputer for tasks that it is good for, and partially like an accelerated human for tasks humans are good at. Essentially being ah hybrid mind that links the advantages and disadvantages of the two, and allows them to work in conjuction to make Burns' mental aspect exceed in nearly possible aspect.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Has up to lightspeed reflexes and nigh instant reaction at times. To the point that everything, including him, appears to be standing still.
- Nervous system control: Used to regulate his strength, speed and vital functions to his liking. Helping burns manage energy well.
- Technopathy: Burns can integrate with anything on a network. Nearly Nothing short of perfect Quantum Encryption will halt burns hacking if the device is on a network. If the device is not on a network, then burns cannot hack it. However, he can put things on a network using often quantum dots and nanotech,
- Investigative identification: Used with EM sight, Burns can deduct things about an opponent based on his knowledge and his eyes. Burns can often learn his opponents abilities by simply looking at them, able to tell their durability, and abnormalities or odd physiologies that would give one away as a metahuman.
- Quantum Encryption: Burns uses this to make his mind essentially, unhackable to machines. He himself warps the coding using his very conciousness. Making this encrpytion seemingly unbreakable unless Burns shuts it off.
- Psi Encyption: The structure of Burn's mind does not match that of human and does not function the same way. Most psionics find themselves unable to control many of the functions of Burn's mind, which he seems to control himself. His mind is not navigatable by even experienced telepathes who are bombarded with other languages, binary code gibberish, as well as warped images of whatever burns desires or chooses himself. Other parts of his brain are simply not human enough to give off psionic waves. Burns is detectable, but rather "Faint" making him difficult to detect and particularly to pinpoint.
- Virtual Reality: This is a reality within Burn's mind that he and others integrated into his "network" can enter. Here, Burns runs simulations and even reviews and relives previous events constructed from what he gathered from all observed data. As well construct and fathom sequencs of the future.
Superhuman senses: Burns has senses tuned to the situation.
- Touch: Can make his skin sensitive enough to feel the slightest of vibrations and even feel nanoscale events, down to the size of molecules.
- Taste: Burns can taste, and can tune his tongue to taste for a wide variety of substance. Such as poisons.
- Smell: Burn's ability to smell is roughly on pare with that of an elephant. Burns able to smell water from twelve miles away.
- Hearing: Highly accute. Burns can hear for hundreds miles, able to hear a butterfly flapping it's wings from thousands of feet away. He can also hear frequencies inaudible to humans and some animals.
- Eyesight: In addition to his EM vision that lets him see through most surfaces, burns can
Energy Absorption- Can absorb all types of EM energy easily, barring gamma rays, as well as heat and kinetic energy. Heat and kinetic energy, though he can absorb energy from them, still can harm him as he does so if sufficiently hot or hard enough. Naturally, Burns often evades being punched by exceedingly strong opponents.
Electromagnetism Manipulation
- Electromagnetic Radiation Projection: Burn's eyes use quantum dots and as such, can act as tunable lasers.
- EM Sight: Can see the entire electromagnetic spectrum full ectromagnetic spectrum.
- Electricity manipulation: Can absorb and manipulate electricity. Often times, no matter how hot the electricity maybe, electrity that would ionize most things into plasma, gets caught in a superconducting loop. Further fueling burn's power. He can project lightning and ionize the air into plasma, often causing large explosions to repell foes. He can also project lightning, but prefers not to due to it's wastefulness, the unreliability of projecting lightning and the additional processes required to harm it.
- Magnetism Manipulaton: Through the Indra drones, Burns can precisely manipulate magnetism. Otherwise, he can only generate intense magnetic fields that simply either push away, bring in or deflect charged particles and magnetic objects. However, with his indra drones present. He can generate magnetic fields precise enough to guide electricity, deflect plasma, electricity and particle weapons. Ironically. This is ineffective against conventional lead, which is not magnetic.
Arc Blades
A versatile set of blades used for differen types of enemies.
- Can be non energized with a monoatomic graphene or diamondoid edge to cleave through ordinary steel like butter, and concrete like air.
- Can emit vibrations to vibrate substances at their resonant frequency and thusly weaken said substance
- Can be electrified
- Can be amplified with a magnetic bottle containing plasma along the blade, hence helping it cut through things. Temperatures can reach 200 million degrees Farenheit briefly. However, it takes tremendous energy to wield this. Just holding it for a minute can make burns fall back on emergency power.
- Blade can channel electromagnetic energy if coated in quantum dots and cause the air to ionize into plasma, cause an explosion, a projected lasers, helping the blade cuts things much mor easily with the addition to a laser fired into the target that does not contact te blade, allowing the bldes to cut through things larger then their length.
- Can be coated in dissembler bots when not coated in plasma or vibrated. This plain molecularly sharp blade can then use it's cutting ability to infect organic and inorganic foes alike. This can be used to devour foes for energy, or alter them from the inside. Or break down their bodies after death. For those with healing factors, the nanites will very much, either keep eating them until their healing factor runs out or simply perpetually feed off them and gain endless material for burns to use.
- Nanobombs can be placed on the blade. This explosive substance will in itself, move into the opponent's wounds and explode, creating often grevious wounds.
- The blades in their plain configuration can be made to siphon or extra energy from superpowered opponents.
Man Made Demi God
Superhuman Strength- Burns often preserves his strength and keeps it in the range of 50 tons lifting. However, he strikes with hundreds of tons of force. However, at Burn's Maximum power output, his strength is on the verge of hundreds of Kilotons, to the point that he can lift 750,000 tons without straining himself. Enough for him to be able to lift building sized objects, if said objects weren't too weak to be lifted. If Burns finds a strong enough surface, he can literally throw around giant monsters and rip some super beings apart.
Superhuman Speed- This is Burn's most Energy consuming ability, but also most rewarding. Generally, burn's movemen speed is around 200 miles per hour. And can go as high as somewhere around Mach 4 in bursts. With his combat speed able to go as far as mach 8+. However, Buns has difficulty moving at high speed on such surfaces as sand and he has trouble turning when he does this. He also encounters problems with atmospheric friction at such speeds. Such excessive heating can be both a hindrance and a weapon.
Striking power- Burn's strength, speed and durability give him immense striking power in the range of upper megajoules to even the gigajoule range. Being hit by him tends to be like like being struck by a bullet like projectile at that point. Opponents unable to withstand these forces are sometimes vaporized by a single punch or simply punched through. At more extreme speeds, his fist will literally light ablaze with plasma from atmospheric friction and additionally burn and sear through opponents. Usually, against more powerful flows, they are simply sent hurdling back considerable distances.
Superhuman Durability: Burns is generally exceedingly durable. Being composed of a variety of advanced carbon based substances.
- Vs Blunt High resistance. Burns can get punched through buildings at a time and emerge relatively unscathed.
- Vs Blades- Only extremely hard diamond hard and above substanes can mar him. Adamantium and Indestrutible blades do harm him, but require superhuman force or extreme sharpness for extensive damage.
- Vs Guns: Small arms do functionally no damage. Larger weapon like anti tank weapons, artillery and tank weapon can cause some damage to him. .50 Cals and explosives can annoy him and take out the eyes.
- Vs Magic: Varies. Some magic has no effect on him. Other types of magic can harm burns more than one would think
- Vs Radiation Too much radiation harms Burns
- Vs Electromagnetic energy- Burns is generally durable or immune to such an attack if he knows i is coming, which he often does. Making this most ineffective for use against him.
- Vs Plasma: Burn's body tends to insolate from plasma, leading to it being inefficient at harming him.
- Vs Electricity: Practically immune. Can channel virtually unlimited amounts of it.
- Vs Heat: Burns can tolerate the surface temperature of the sun without much trouble.
- Vs Chemical: Highly chemical intert surface. Requires heat often times to work.
Superhuman Agility- Burns is surprisingly agile for one of his size. It allows him to manuevre easily as well as dance around, and confuse his opponents at times.
Adhension: Can adhere to surfaces and thusly stick to them, like a spider. The attractive force is tunable, depending on how much energy is put into it.
Nanotech
Nanotechnology is a broad field of technology, which is defined as the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale. Ineed, this is one of Burn's abilities.
Ichor- Sometimes called "Nanoblood", this "fluid " is capable of performing several different types of tasks. Nanomachines in general can always exist outside of burns, performing various duties as burns so pleases.
- Healing: Burns heals at a rate that varies in accordance to the amount of energy he has allocated to this task. However, without sufficient energy due to having used it up, or allocating it elsewhere (Like say, Strength) Burns healing can be potent enough for him to reform from a single cell, though this takes time and often occurs elsewhere. High speed healing will usually lower Burns' speed signifigantly, but, it can come to the point where he becomes very difficult to harm. With most wounds healing very well and attempts to sever body parts met with him often holding himself together with his quantum dots, able to pull his body apart and even survive some damage to the head.
- Construct Creation: Nanofactories, given energy and materials, can construct virtually any anything that can be created from elements contained on the periodic table. It is not difficult for Burns to construct a ten pound diamond out o a person's materials.
- Dissembler Swarm: A swarm of devouring nanobots used to break down matter so that burns may feed on it. Excels at breaking down organic matter, but requires more energy to break down inorganic matter, it being difficult for it to do without Burns being there to provide the machines with a power source.
- Infect: Can infect one like a disease, and get into the nervous system, hence it being able to mind control indviduals as well as disable powers.
Indra Drones- ElectriciDrones that Burns integrates into combat. They are capable of flight, and incoporate magnetic bottle technology. They are highly durablle and even have blades to cut opponents. Capable of manipulating electromagnetim, they can suspend it midair and lift things in ways similiar to telekinesis....
Often painfully
As well as project and manipulate electromagnetic energy.
Stormrouters- Graphene based vaccum spheres burns controls with his mind. These less personal drones are used by Burns to control the weather and absorb electromagnetic energy a the way up in the earth's atmosphere. This can be used for large scale Electromagnetic radiation manipulation. Allowing Burns to cause energy to flow to him, giving him "Max power" and allowing him to summon lightning to strike his foes, if he wishes,
Omni-Matter- Quantum dots. It is in essence programmable matter made from semiconductors arranged into nanocrystals. Able to take on the properties of any matter. However, has a weaker bonding energy then ordinary matter,at 0.0025 that of regular matter. Which would mean that at best burns could make it as strong as a moderately high grade steel. When the equivilent conventional matter would be over a thousand times stronger.
- Cloaking: The material can rearrange itself in a way so as to deflect lightwaves around him. Hence able to cloak burns not only from light, but from any frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum.
- Telekinesis: Of sorts. Not technically telekinesis, but, by putting quantum dots in a fog like or water like form, he can will it to move and manipulate things. The scale of this is completely dependent on the amount of material and most importantly energy available.
- Construct creation: Burns can create various constucts for his own purposes. Practically anything the bonding strength allows can be created. Only limited by energy for movement and for material for production (most any semi-conductor will do.) Burns can create tools, new bodies, often create directed energy weapons on sizes as small as the molecular scale, will entire cities into existence if he desires or even extend his own senses by creating outer pairs of eyes or even clouds of dust that allow him to feel things outside of his own body and relay data back to him. The only limits is the bonding energy, Burn's own knowledge and imagination and the inability to produce effects that operate outside of much of established conventional physics (Anything magical, vibranium, adamantium, etc....)
Skills
Omni-disciplinary scientist
Burns' enhancement towards his mind gave him a learning capacity far beyond that of most humans. He is relatively well versed and familiar in nearly every field of science and engineering, having some knowledge of all of them. His intellect is as such as to even understand some alien technology. While some of it is simply beyond his comprehension, Burns has arguably come up with technology that is more advanced than that of some aliens.
However, Burns has not mastered every field of technology, despite his extensive knowledge, but, fields he had previously known and that are of relevance to him. Indeed, Burns is a highly accomplished Material scientist, a Biomedical Engineer, geneticist, neurologist, pharmascist and has extensive knowledge of biomimetics and bionics, A field of creating machines and technology based off of or created from biology. This can show in Burns own body, as even inorganic components of his body can and often do have cells. He created his body virtually on his own, channeling his mind through an AI and directing it to create his own body.
Indeed, from his own blood and from ambient materials Burns has stated that he can indeed create both non-sentient and sentient life from soil, much like a plant, and with time spawn into a being of wholly his own construction, just as easily as how he could create a machine. Usually however, it is difficult to tell what is a "machine" and what isn't.
Fighting styles
After Burns augmented his mind, he has spent a large amount of time in virtual reality, training himself and analyzing others. He has come to spend years in virtual reality combining fighting styles and adapting it to his own body. With increased learning capacity, Burns can copy most any move he is physically capable of performing after only seeing it once. It is impossible for Burns to know and download every style of fighting, and even when he does download styles, he must create them himself, adapting his own unique fighting styles to himself.
As such, Burns usually functions under several modes, with each fighting Style serving different purposes for different situations and different times, each with it;s own fabricated martial art. It is a general rule of thumb to always absorb energy from others that they may give off.
Brutus: Fighting style with roots in western and chinese boxing, Muay Thai, Wing-Chun Kung Fu, Jeet-kun do, Taikwondo, German longsword fencing, Krav Manga, Brazillian Jujitsu, Staff fighting and general street fighting. Focused on power, amplifying Burns strength, speed and Van Der Waals adhesion. While sacraficing use of the Arc blades, Indra drones and having any sort of healing factor. Burns combat speed becomes hypersonic with high powered striking. The combination of Burns able to efficently channel proper technique with the power of body to make mulit megajoule punches, blows ranging from the thousands to hundreds of thousands, as well as the occassional megaton range strikes. His blows usually knock people away signifigant distances in this state. Often punching through objects as if he was a giant bullet or if they are durable enough to withstand the impact, toppling or shifting them. Speed is combined with agility and controlled in such a way as to not go so fast as to not be able to change direction, but to still confuse and overwhelm his opponents. Agility is often used for control of movement and to both surprise and confuse his opponents.
Another key trait is the grappling aspect of this style, often using superior leverage to overcome enemies who may be larger then Burns, or simply using his size and mass skillfully in order to exploit his opponents usually smaller size and lesser weight, as well as combining this with his adhesion abilities to create nearly unbreakable grapples. However, with Burns strength, it is not uncommon for him to simply rip weaker opponents apart with his bare hands or simply tear through whatever may be in his way.
This fighting style also excels in the use of weapons, either improvised or stolen from the enemy. Indeed, he an expert weapons user. Often picking up giant street signs, lamp posts, and large car parts to be used as weapons. He can also throw things with high precision, with small objects often propelled to supersonic speeds.
The style lacks much in the range of defense, often simply having a quantum dot field for energy absorption and cloaking. Though the cloak can be easily disrupted by any physical impact.
Duelist: Arc blade centric, self made style. Strength significantly decreases, all the way down to around 25 tons. Speed becoming up to just below the speed of sound for strikes and around 225 miles per hour in bursts for movement. Plasma is used to repell materials from the blade, allowing them to clash with otherwise indestructible materials, often making a forceful burst in the direction of the blade upon impact or flash ionizing the air, often causing the blades to ionize upon impact. Speed is the basis here, with Burns seeking to cut vital areas and adjust the edge of necessary, like for say, an unnecessary opponent.
Parasite: The energy draining style, and one of the most "dirty." Burns uses this style to feed from his opponents, often using the blades in an unpowered manner. Often around normal speed and high conservative, this style often seeks to use Burns blade in an unpowered mode or grapples in order to allow the man to simply eat his opponents alive using nanomachines coated along the blades to absorb enemies matter and energy, as well as having a cloud of his own "blood" floating about him at all times. Upon entering it, enemies find themselves beginning to be automatically broken down. Strength on this can vary from 25-500 tons depending on level of strength, with high speed attacks limited to vital and finishing strikes. Basis of this style seems to be in a variety of styles of shaolin kung fu and this style's goal seems to be to render the opponent as vulnerable as possible, with Burns often sending the cloud about to consume ambient materials containing energy of some kind, being particularly keen on utilizing pressure points.
Overcharge: Used for primarily healing. A defensive highly power consuming style that require continuous support from a an external source of energy, sin which Burn's healing will often become so potent that one must use an attack that completely scatters him in order to actually do lasting harm to him. Even cutting through him with magical or adamatine objects results in him healing at such a rate as for wounds to recover before his body is fully sealed. Sealing itself as the blade passes through.
Burns becomes more willing to put himself in harms way during this, often using brief bursts of speed. In this mode when fully charged, he can use his drones, blade, speed and full strength all at once. Often siphoning power from ambient fuel or using stormrouters to continously beam him energy.
Deus: A style that is informal and self taught. This style revolves less around the body and more around using nanobots and programmable matter to simply exert Burns' will on the environment. This is done through a combination of using dissemblers and constructors in Burn's blood to consume ambient (often living) matter to gain workable material as well as energy. Very frequently used in forests, where there are an abandunance of trees. In cities, usualy, this requires a power plant of some kind to accomplish and also feeds off chemical materials often used for waste in sewers. In exchange, Quantum dots are capable of essentially functioning as telekinesis on a very high scale. Indeed, if Burns can often build power over time, with preparation, he can become of such power to bowl over cities at time.
The instantly rearrangable structure of quantum dots allows him to make whatever object he wishes to at will. Unlike nano-technology. Which makes permeneant alteration to ordinary matter and must take some time (sometimes minutes) to arrange the environment.
Burns physical strength during this is often at only 25 tons. With the movement of the body being akin to that of a human. However, in this mode, usually there is enough quantum dots for burns to lift himself and use the ocean of devices to propell himself through similiar to flight.
