Slapstick
Steve Harmon
Fighting: Good
Agility: Incredible
Strength: Good
Endurance: Incredible
Reason: Typical
Intuition: Good
Psyche: Excellent
Resources: Typical
Popularity: Good
Powers:
Slapstick's body is made of living, unstable molecules (dubbed Electroplasm by the Scientist Supreme of Dimension X) that render him practically indestructible. His gloves contain moleculat stabilizers that hold his body at a minimum of coherence. this form mimics his human shape, but exaggerates many actions due to it's elasticity and pliability. the special properties of this Electroplasm grant Slapstick the following;
-Invulnerability:Slapstick is composed of (Monsterous) material strength "Electroplasm". this doesn't give him Body Armor or perfect resistance to damage..it's just next-to-impossible to destroy him. the effects of attacks are temporary on Slapstick. if he's shot, his body is riddled with bullet holes. if blasted with a flame thrower, he's charred and smoking, but he keeps coming back for more. he ignores all battle effects except for stuns and slams, which occur as normal.
-Malleability/Elongation(Remarkable)
-Shapeshifting/Imitation(Remarkable)
both of the above are granted by his unstable body, though he usually does so subconsciously, and the effects only kick in for limited periods under certain situations, such as stretching to reach a bomb, bouncing upon impact, or his face changing to cartoonish imitations or caricatures.
-Energy Conservation:Slapstick is affected cosmetically only by Physical, Force or Energy attacks. However, if exposed to electricity, his body absorbs up to (Monsterous) amounts of electricity, and he gains a boost to his strength equal to the strength of the electrical attack.(max of Amazing). this lasts for 1-5 rounds, or can be sustained by continued contact with electricity. when boosted, he often expands to a 7' height with exaggerated muscles("Hero of the Beach" model)
Leaping:Slapstick's resilient musculature and unstable body allows him (Remarkable) rank leaping (roughly 30')
Running Speed:Slapstick can run at (Amazing) ground speed when running normally.
(not applicable at the moment(when panicked, he can attain (Unearthly)speeds for 1 round.
Talents/Abilities:
Trivia:C-, C-, and D-Grade SciFi and Horror movies; Martial Arts "S"(Unique: +2CS to fighting when resorting to tactics of comedy -eye poking, nose kissing, etc.);Smarmy Jokes; Weapons Specialist(Cartoon Mallet, +2 fighting when using mallet)
Equipment:
Each of Slapstick's gloves perform a specific function;
Left glove-this glove allows Steve to control his transformations to and from Slapstick, as well as maintaining his molecular cohesion in this form. without it, Steve is forced back to his human state.
Steve's stats are as follows when not transformed;
Fighting: Typical
Agility:Good
Strength: Typical
Endurance: Good
Reason: Typical
Intuition: Good
Psyche: Good
Right glove- this glove allows Slapstick to access 'Hammerspace', as it's sometimes called..a sub-spacial storage pocket in which nearly any object can be kept for easy and instant access. Slapstick activates this with a simple flick of his wrist, which would create the appearance of pulling objects from thin air.
-One of his more commonly kept and used objects is a rather oversized Cartoon Mallet;
(Remarkable)material strength and damage
Weaknesses:
When not transformed into Slapstick, Steve is as normal and vulnerable as any average person.
History:
Steve Harmon was born in a New Jersey hospital after his mother went through eighty-six hours of labor. A troublesome child, when his parents bought him an "indestructible toy truck" he used it to demolish his other toys. In school he would re-interpret his assignments to make them more enjoyable for himself, such as dressing in a costume to do a report on the movie Robot Monster.
One evening while walking home after detention (for having a medical school cadaver delivered to a faculty dinner), Steve was approached by a clown who informed him of a carnival visiting his town. Hoping to get revenge on Don Winston, who had told the teachers the cadaver was Steve's prank, Steve dressed as a clown and went to the carnival intending to embarrass Winston. However, when Steve witnessed the carnival's clowns kidnapping people and taking them through a dimensional portal in the funhouse mirrors, he grabbed a mallet and went in after them, but as the portal was closing, Steve's body was altered upon being stretched across roughly 3,741 dimensions.
When Steve awoke, he was imprisoned in a dungeon in Dimension X, with that dimension's former Scientist Supreme. The scientist explained to Steve what had happened to him and modified his gloves so that they would hold him together and let him become human again. The scientist prodded Steve, faking his own death in an effort to motivate Steve into fighting the Overlord of Dimension X. The Overlord was using a device called the Mediocritizer to take over the minds of the kidnapped people and when Steve arrived he tried to use it on him, but Steve would not conform. Steve broke the Mediocritizer, knocked the Overlord away and led the prisoners back to Earth, breaking the mirror behind them. Later, he and his friend Mike Peterson came up with the name Slapstick that Steve would use, not to fight crime, but to play cruel tricks on it.
Over the next several months, Steve/Slapstick would have several strange run-ins with villains that could only be described as bizzare, from his 'team-up' with Spider-Man against the Overkiller, a militant mutant hunter, motivated by the pre-empting of his nightly Wheel of Fortune fix by news coverage of the X-men, to his babysitting nightmare with diabolical boy genius Oliver Denton and his mechanical Teddy.
His most notable confrontation however, would be with the explosive force of destruction known as.....the Neutron Bum. exposed to a series of radioactive chemicals, the nameless bum literally exploded with rage in demand of a 50 cent cup of coffee. As other heroes began arriving at the scene, Slapstick met Speedball, Daredevil, and the Ghost Rider. Slapstick tried to explain that the Bum only wanted a cup of coffee but the heroes would not listen. As the New Warriors, the Fantastic Four, and the Avengers all showed up and formulated a plan of attack, Slapstick went to a coffee shop and bought a cup. He brought it to the Bum and as he enjoyed it, knocked him out.problem solved. where Earth's Mightiest Heroes dropped the ball, Slapstick picked it up and ran for the endzone...only to be punted clear across town by the Thing. He swore he'd be back.
