'''Description'''

Augment’s META suit consists of a white body suit with blue metal armor that serves as a protection and also a basic exoskeleton that help him support the weight the arms. The main feature is a pair of over-sized mechanical arms sprouting from his back above and behind his shoulders. These arms grant him enhanced strength, and he can shoot off the hands and use them as grappling hooks to pull and swing himself around the battlefield.
The suit’s helmet serves as a half mask, extending down to cover his ears and jaw while a visor conceals his eyes. The CSAR looks like a bulky rifle… which is exactly what it is… and is the delivery method of the other powers he’s developed.

'''Backstory'''

Edison Gray as always been smart… he developed a formula that would let him mimic the traits of animals when he earned his first master’s degree. Though biological in nature... the Vertebrate Enhanced Genetic Augmentation Serum, or VEGAS, somehow touched upon the latent psychic abilities all people possess. This granted Edison amazing abilities such as inhuman strength, or even flight, without altering his body in any way. This was his sole power when he first became Augment.
When the Vindicators discovered a secret lab operated by nefarious psychic aliens known as the Den’ash, he attempted to adapt VEGAS to mimic their alien DNA. It worked… and it didn’t. Edison’s intellect expanded greatly, and for a short time he was able to glimpse the Den’ash psychic network and see what they were planning. The change also proved do to be permanent… and his altered DNA meant VEGAS would no longer work on him.
Edison withdrew from active hero-ing for a while, though continued to support the team behind the scenes as a scientist. He was busy developing several new technologies, and reworking VEGAS to work on other people. It’s time for Augment to emerge once again to support his comrades on the front lines.
