Re: [Supers] GURPS Unofficial Handbook to the Marvel Universe, Reboot Edition
and it seems I missed this one the first time around:
CASSIDY, BLACK TOM Real Name: Thomas Cassidy Occupation: Professional criminal, former soldier of fortune. Identity: Publicly known. Legal Status: Citizen of Ireland with a criminal record in many nations. Other Aliases: "Irish" (a nickname given to him by Cain Marko). Place of Birth: Cassidy Keep, Ireland. Marital Status: Single. Known Relatives: Parents, older brother, names unrevealed; Theresa Rourke (alias Bainsidhe, cousin). Group Affiliation: Occasional partner of the Juggernaut. Base of Operations: Mobile. History: Thomas Cassidy was the second son born to a lesser Irish noble house. Bored with the role of a wealthy gentleman of leisure, he left home at an early age (reports conflict over the age; both 16 and 18 have been mentioned), ultimately becoming a soldier of fortune in Africa. While there, he became friends with another mercenary by the name of Cain Marko. It is not known when he discovered his mutant abilities. After serving in a few campaigns in Africa's war-torn interior, Cassidy started committing crimes in Europe, more as a means of avoiding going home to boredom than from any real desire to obtain more wealth. More than once, he was deported back to Ireland. Seeking new frontiers (and barred from entering most of Europe), Black Tom traveled to New York City, where he encountered his old friend Marko, now transformed into the superhuman powerhouse Juggernaut, in a bar on the west side (see Juggernaut). The two then joined forces to take on the X-Men (see X-Men). While he was taken into custody, he soon escaped. His future plans are currently unknown. Height: 6'. Weight: 200 lbs. Eyes: Brown. Hair: Brown. Uniform: Black leather bodysuit with a large red symbol resembling a stylized bat or leather-winged humanoid on the chest, red gloves, red boots, red belt. Strength Level: Black Tom possesses the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in regular exercise. Known Superhuman Powers: Black Tom is a mutant who is able to produce intense bolts of energy from his body. To date, he has been observed producing both concussive force and intense heat. Normally, he channels his power through wooden objects; on one occasion, however, he was shown to be able to produce his energy without it, but this energy was much stronger and less controlled than normal. This has led the Beast to hypothesize that he uses the wood as a kind of resistor rather than a conductor (see Beast). Other Abilities: As a former soldier of fortune, Black Tom has received training in all modern conventional firearms and some unarmed combat. Weapons: Black Tom carries a wooden shillelagh, a three foot long staff or cane of Irish design. He has fooled many people into believing the shillelagh is a high-tech energy weapon, rather than a focus for his powers. Willow: He says he's enjoying being a gentleman of leisure. Buffy: "Gentleman of leisure." Isn't that just British for "unemployed"? – Buffy the Vampire Slayer #4.01 290 points Attributes: ST 11 [10]; DX 12 [40]; IQ 11 [20]; HT 11 [10].
