[Character] Hive

[OctoberRaven]

200 + 150 Jamie Maddrox tribute.

 

Mike Rogers was 12 when he first realized he had mutant powers. He was able to shoot energy beams from his hand. Unfortunately his dad worked for the IHA, so he kept it secret. Last thing he wanted was to make his old man a laughing stock.

 

Then he realized his other power. Duplication. It was a typical "I wish I could be in two places at once" deal. Then, to his suprise, there was another him! It was awesome! Not only that, he found out he could see what his other self could see. While he did his best to keep it from his dad... he couldn't let this go to waste. One of him would go to school, the other would log time at the local arcade.

 

His best friend set him up on a blind date with Lisa Angelo when he was 17. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, but his dad didn't approve because she wasn't a Baptist. You know what, Mike said, forget him. On his 18th birthday, he moved into his own place.

 

He couldn't afford to keep living in his flat, even with his jobs at the Burger Shack and The Slurp-N-Gas. Then he realized... wait, why not rob a bank? He'd have a perfect alibi. While a masked clone grabbed some cash, he'd be at work or with Lisa. Perfect!

 

Problem is, despite his clone nearly getting captured, he got hooked on the thrill of stealing. So now he does it as often as he can. He doesn't go out of his way to hurt someone, though. He just wants some quick cash and that adrenaline rush. Besides, if he's wanted for murder, it'd be much harder to go out with Lisa. For this reason, he took up the identity of Hive, Duplicating Theif Extradordinaire!

Re: [Character] Hive

 

Very nice, I like the fact that he tried to use his powers for a more mundane approach to making money first. Working two jobs and a full time girlfriend, yeah need to be two, three places at once. He also has the new to crime kind of innocence to him.
