Martian Manhunted Redux

[Doppler]

My 350-point version of an alternate Martian Manhunter

 

Mr. Martian

 

Height: 6' 6" Hair: Bald

Weight: 220 lbs Eyes: Red

Appearance: Mr. Martian is approximately 6'6" and weighs approximately 220 lbs. His skin is green, his head is a funny pointed shape, and his eyes are bright red smoldering embers, He wears a cylindrical helmet on his head, and very little else. He wears red boots in the style of Captain America, red trunks with blue belt trim, and a V-shaped blue tabbard over his chest. Around his neck is a flowing red cape.

Background: In the late 1940s, Cc'Kk Kk'Xx fled his native planet in another solar system due to the tyrranical rule of the planet's government. Having viewed information tapes about the Earth and Adolph Hitler, he knew that Earthlings would not stand for such tyrrany, and decided to join them.

 

Unfortunately, his flying saucer crash-landed in the New Mexico desert. He was taken into custody by the U.S. Air Force and brought back to full health in due time. He was questioned at length, and in 1951, he was introduced to President Eisenhower, one of Cc'Kk's personal heroes (due to Eisenhower's role in WWII). He and the President hit it off right away, and the President asked him to serve the United States and the Free World.

 

Cc'Kk, now rechristened phontically as Chuck Cox (like many immigrants!), received the code name Mr. Martian, and served the government for many years as a special super-agent. The world at large did not know who he was, since he was mainly involved in black ops projects and the space race.

 

In 1974, right about the time of Watergate, Chuck retired from US Government service and took his pension. He struck off on his own, using the skills that he had learned from his years in the government. His first job was to establish a secret ID, which was fairly easy since he already had all the necessary documentation and a good pension from his first career. He only needed a disguise.

 

Thanks to an unnamed UNTIL scientist, he was treated in a special bath of nutrients and mutagens which allowed his to develop the power of disguise, and so he was able to blend into the general populace without causing terror and chaos. A side effect of this process was that he was now much more vulnerable to heat- and fire-based attacks. While he does not fear them like the more popular Green Alien Superhero, he is just as vulnerable.

 

During the 1977 Glax'xon space invasion, Chuck was an instrumental key to victory. While he was able to fight the Glax'xons telepathically, the native American magician, Shaman, was able to cast a spell which turned all their alien spaceships into giant soap bubbles!! Other heroes involed were lauded and congratulated. Only he, Gerald Ford, and a select group of generals knew that Mr. Martian was the greatest hero of them all that day.

 

Chuck now works as a private eye and security consultant, and keeps a weekend night shift in the Morgue of a local newspaper, in order to pick the brains of reporters and have access to the archives. He fights crime as Mr. Martian (a nickname he doesn't mind) while trying better to figure out human nature and having new experiences and advantures. He has no desire to go back to his homeworld, having adopted Humanity as his chosen people.

No Takers! How disappointing. Thank you for no input (which is in this case as good as some input) on this.

Hay Doppler. Don't get disapointed. It took time and coxing before someone poisted to my own Charterpaloza thread.
