Mr. Eternal

Real name: Graham Autumn

Code name: Mr. Eternal

Age: ??? (He lost count somewhere during the latest Ice Age. He looks like 21 though.)

Race: Human (mutant)

Appearance: Somewhat like a deadbeat hobo. He got uncut and unruly black hair, a pair of deep brown, nearly black eyes and a constant tobacco in his mouth. He's of medium build, neither slender nor stout. He usually wears a pair of worn jeans and a filthy khaki shirt. He requires reading glasses. And you will never EVER see him in a superhero costume.

Powers: Grahams sole power is emphatic regeneration, which made him stop aging when he reached age twenty-one, and since then he has looked pretty much the same. So far, nothing has yet been able to put him into a permanent rest. And believe me, he has tried! Lost limbs are returned, internal organs restored and fractures are repaired. The origin of the regeneration is apparently the heart, not the brain, and in case he loses his head, his body will simply grow a new one.

Graham has also several centuries worth of experience regarding orthodox and unorthodox ways of sharing the pain. He quite literally picked up a sword and started swinging it until he got the hang of it.

Weakness: Although he's literally unkillable, Graham still got several weaknesses. To begin with, the emphatic regeneration is his only power, meaning that besides the not-dying stuff, Graham is normal human. Heck, he's not even in good shape. He also still feels the pain, meaning that a swift kick in the crotch usually puts him down a decent amount of time. The easiest way of dealing with Graham is to imprison him. Graham actually got about three centuries worth of jail-time by now.

His power is also that of the empathic regeneration. Note the italics. This pretty much mean that his power is as reliable as a drunk Guide dog. Depending on Graham's state of mind, he'll either completely recover from any damage in a matter of seconds or he'll be playing dead body for several minutes. As a rule of the thumb though, the angrier Graham gets, the more reliable his regeneration becomes.

Background: Graham Autumn was born in a serene suburb outside Freedom City in the year 1951, where he would grow up and live a normal person's life. Never would anyone had imagined that Graham actually was born with the extraordinarily powerful mutation of empathic regeneration! There was only tiny little problem though. Graham wasn't aware. As he never got seriously hurt during his youth he simply didn't have any reason to suspect he was a mutant!

As a result, Graham Autumn came to grow up and live an orderly life, getting an education and then a job as an accountant. Although he at age 40 (but still looking like 21) started to have serious doubt about exactly how normal he was, it would not be before his 41st birthday when his wake-up call would finally come in the shape of a drunk and disorderly hobo who savagely attacked him and gave him the beating of his life. That was very moment, while the hobo was still kicking him in the gut, Graham finally realized that he was special. That was the day Graham Autumn's life took a massive turn towards the worst.

The year 1992, Graham Autumn donned a superhero suit for the first and last time in his life. In what he himself calls "The most idiotic case of middle-age crisis ever seen in the fair city of Freedom" he sought fight evil and punish wickedness. Or something like that. Graham himself is a bit uncertain about his reasoning at that time. Anyway, as his first mission he sought to stop a supervillian plotting to take over the world by going back in time to take over Napoleon Bonaparte's place in the world history, or something equally silly like that. And then everything went to hell.
