BIG

Name: Daniel Magalhães

Appearance: Latino male; dark brown hair and brown eyes, sun-tanned skin; 1.70 m (5'7")/65 kg (143 lbs) or up to 7 m (23’4”)/4.1 tons (9,183 lbs) Bio: Daniel was a regular teenager from Rio de Janeiro, until the day he was playing volleyball with some friends and, instead of jumping to spike the ball, shot up to a height of 7 meters. He swore his friends to secrecy and soon pieced together a uniform for his new superhero identity: G.R.A.N.D.E. (Garoto Reestruturado Anatomicamente Numa Descomunal Estatura or, in English, Boy Anatomically Restructured Into an Extraordinary Stature). Daniel had some successes in his career, but most of them were eclipsed by his somewhat careless way of moving while giant-sized. Many cars got stepped on and buildings damaged during his adventures, but fortunately no one got hurt. The last drop for the people of Rio was when he fought the animated Christ the Redeemer statue atop Corcovado mountain. Though thwarting the plans of the villain Engenheiro, Daniel also destroyed one of the city’s major landmarks and New Wonders of the World. Thankful, but clearly displeased with the solution, the State and City governments pooled their resources and got Daniel enrolled at the Paragons’ open call in New York, hoping he would learn to be more careful. Excited by this opportunity and in an attempt to blend in more easily, the young hero even created a new alias: BIG (Biologically Induced Giant).
