Hero: Zero G

Real Name: Alexander "Alex" Power
Occupation: Student
Identity: Secret
Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record
Other Aliases: formerly Gee, Destroyer VI, Powerpak, and Powerhouse II
Place of Birth: Richmond, Virginia
Marital Status: Single
Known Relatives: James (father), Margaret (mother), Jack (brother), Julie, Katie (sisters), Roy Craig (grandfather)
Group Affiliation: Power Pack, (formerly) News Warriors
Base of Operations: Bainbridge Island, Washington
First Appearance: (as Gee) Power Pack #1, (as Destroyer) Power Pack #27, (as Powerpak) New Warriors Vol.1 #47, (as Powerhouse) New Warriors Vol.1 #64, (as Zero G) Power Pack: Peer Pressure #1

History: Alex Power is the oldest child of Dr. Jame Power, a physicist who was working for the United States government on a means of producing large quantities of energies cheaply through combining matter and anti-matter. (The subatomic particles composing anti-matter have opposite charges to those of the equivalent particles of matter itself. When matter contacts anti-matter, both are converted entirely into vast quantities of energies.)

An alien Kymellian named Aelfyre Whitemane (nicknamed "Whitey") learned of Power's discovery and intended to stop it. White mane knew that a device such as Power's would, despite Power's good intentions, trigger a chain reaction that would destroy the Earth. Moreover, he knew that Power's device was sought by alien Z'nrx, nicknamed "Snarks," who intended to use it to conquer inhabitedworlds.

Snarks captured Dr. Power and his wife Margaret, intending to force him to reveal the secret of his device, Whitemane saved the Powers' children, Alex, Julie, Jack, and Katie, from being captured, but he himself was fatally wounded in the process. Dying, Whitemane transferred a different one of his superhuman powers into each of the four Power children, and asked them to use their new abilities to save their world.

Alex received the power to control gravity, and called himself Gee after the common scientific abbreviation for gravitational force ("G"). The four children called themselves the Power Pack. Power Pack thwarted the Snarks, rescued their parents, and destroyed Dr. Power's dangerous matter/anti-matter converter, thereby saving the Earth from destruction. The four children have since continued to have adventures as Power Pack.

After many years, Alex believed it was too dangerous for Power Pack to be operating as super heroes, especially for the younger members Jack and Katie, and so he absorbed the powers of his siblings into himself as Powerhouse when he was contacted by the young hero team New Warriors. As Powerhouse, Alex shared many adventures with the Warriors, but ultimately returned the powers to his siblings. Retaining the gravity-control power, Alex renamed himself Zero-G and has returned to adventuring with his brother and sisters.

As Zero-G, Alex has control over gravity. This control is primarily centered on himself, but can extent to items or people he is in contact with. He usually uses this power to negate gravity's effects, but must rely on his siblings to provide momentum in order to fly. As Destroyer, Alex had Katie's energy absorption power. As Mass Master, Alex had Jack's density power. As Powerhouse, Alex had all of his siblings' powers.

Like his siblings, Alex possesses a costume of unstable molecules. When activated, these costumes are called from an extra-dimensional realm "Elsewhere" to replace their normal clothing.


Height: 5 ft. 1 in.
Weight: 93 lbs.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blond

Strength Level: Gee has the normal human strength of a boy of his age, height, and build, who engages in a normal amount of exercise for his age (mostly playing). By utilizing his anti-gravity power, Gee can lift (press) far more massive objects than he would otherwise be able to lift.

Known Superhuman Powers: Gee can negate the force of gravity on himself and on other living beings and objects through anti-gravitons. (Gravitons are subatomic particles which carry the force of gravitational attraction. Anti-gravitons are subatomic particles that are the counterparts to gravitons, but have an opposite charge.) In order to reduce the pull of gravity on an object or a living being other than himself, Gee must be in physical contact with object or being. When Gee uses his power small black rectangular marks often appear on his forearms and lower legs (or, if those portions of his body covered by clothing, on the parts of the parts of his clothing covering his forearms and lower leg) and sometimes on part of whatever object he is touching and using his power on. The limits of the amount of mass on which Gee can successfully use his power are not yet known. However, he has succeeded in negating the force of gravity on his father's matter/anti-matter converter, an enormous object weighing many tons, enough to carry it many stories above the Earth's surface.

Gee can control the extent to which he reduces the pull of gravity enough so that he can hover above the Earth's surface at the height he desires, and not simply keep on during upward into outer space. Apparently Gee can also increase the pull of gravity on himself through generating gravitons. In his first clash with the Snarks, Gee thus successfully resisted the pull of a Snarl tractor beam that had a force equivalent to six times Earth's gravity. However, as yet Gee has seldom used this power to increase the pull of gravity, and it is unclear whether he can use this power to increase the force of gravity on living beings and objects he touches.

Presumably as Gee grows older the extent of his powers and his mastery of them will increase. In addition, the members of the Power Pack can heal themselves by sharing their life forces with one another.

Paraphernalia: Gee often wears artificial wings under his arms which enable him to glide on wind currents when he uses his anti-gravity power on himself.

Gee wears a special costume made of unstable molecules created by the Kymellian smartship Friday. The costume can be invisible and intangible, but will materialize on Gee when he wills it to do so.


In Game Powers:
haven't really decided but either:
a) set a enemy to 0 gravity on keydown
or
b) enemy shooting you gets set to 0 gravity
with added effect, so it actually does something:
you guys can come up with ideas, maybe add in a forced jump so the player affected will float straight up. Maybe even set gravity high after a bit so when the player falls it hurts them...


Please don't add something lame like extra hp and ap and speed, this can be made into something fun.

Easy to make, but if you think about it, may be a bit over powerd. say if you go with option a and make them have zero gravity on key down and they float up, they then become easy targets as there is nothing they can do but float away, their accuracy would be pathetic so they cant even fight back, basically is just makes them into a turkey shoot.

Perhaps another method would be that, on key down he sets his own gravity to nothing? he can then fly off somwhere and press the key again to revert back to normal. could also use it to jump off a building somewhere, activate it and stop in mid air, perhaps to slow a rapid decent and save himself from hurting himself...

A good example of why this would be useful is superman, his low gravity is advantageous in some instances, but how many times have you been frustrated by wanting to get somewhere, but you float down gently only to be riddled with lots of tiny bullets?

Alternativly i could possibly make this hero with all 3 powers, and have cvars for which one you want, basically giving you 3 heros in one

0 grav for self on keydown + when enemy shoots you......hold keydown is 0 grav and realease normal so you could float to the top of a roof or so!

I saw that one reaper, but I thought maybe it was like the first version of dreadnaught, now there is another I gotta try

They will be in the air for all to see, plus their accuracy will be horrible. Basically it's just asking to die.
