Tower

Name: Eric B.
Codename: Tower
Classification: Hero
Location:
Boston, MA
Nationality: American
Group Affiliation / Status:
1) Boston Brawlers / Active
2) Mighty Markmen / Associate
Age: 25
Height: 6'1'' (normal), ~150' (maximum)
Weight: 200lbs (normal), ~4000lbs (maximum)
Archetype: Tanker
Origin: Science
Powers: Eric was hired as an accountant for the construction company renovating Dr. Henry Pym's Boston laboratories. While walking through the construction site one day he accidently stepped on a discarded vial inadvertantly innoculating himself with Dr. Pym's famous Pym Particles. The size-changing particles have given Eric the ability to greatly increase his height and size at will. The maximum height he has been able to achieve is that of a 15-story building, hence the codename Tower. Tower's weight, strength and durability all increase proportionally to his height making him extremely strong and somewhat resistant to damage at near-maximum height. Tower must increase his height cautiously because increasing his height too quickly or attempting to grow too tall makes him light-headed and puts him at risk of passing out. Tower must also be careful because his sense of balance becomes more disturbed as his height increases. Falling at maximum height can obviously cause considerable damage to himself and others. Tower is able to use the particles to return to his regular size but not to shrink in size below his regular height.

Excellent. Its good to finally meet 'Tower', as I've not had the pleasure of meeting Eric in person. As we spoke of recently Mark, I am looking forward to collectively coming up with our rally cry. When do you think you'll have that feature up and looking for suggestions?

Well, it is a pretty BIG deal to meet a guy like tower. Look for the Mighty Markmen Battlecry Contest early in the new year. My best one so far..."On your mark!" - that's why we need a contest!

'On your mark!' isn't so bad, but I'm afraid less intelligent hero's (like the tankers) may take that literally and pile on top of you without giving it a second thought!
