Cheezar Real Name: Derek Draper Height: 6'1" Hair Colour: Brown with two yellow streaks that run from his temples to the back of his head First Appearance: Jambo #1 Powers: Has The ability to "Cheese It" at supersonic speeds. The upper limit of this power has not yet been reached. His body has adapted to living at high speeds: His enhanced metabolism allows him to deal with disease or poison that would take months for a normal person to recover from in a matter of minutes. His resperatory system has also adapted so he can extract oxygen as the air thunders past him. His body, including the eyes, is also toughened against the stresses of travelling at super sonic speeds. Weapons: None Biography: Cheezar has been a hero of sorts for most of his life. His powers emerged when he was fairly young and he wasted no time in putting them to use as any comic book fan would: he became a superhero. After several solo adventures he joined a group of young heroes known as Team Ham (a peace-keeping force funded by The Hamilton Foundation). But the publics increasing distrust of "meta-humans" meant Cheezar became more and more disillusioned with his chosen profession. This attitude, combined with his ever present arrogance and over-confident in his abilities, lead to him pissing off the majority of the group (aside from one member called Reject who found he shared much of his team-mates scepticism) and eventually he was asked to resign. Despite this set back Cheezar continued to dabble in superheroism. After a few close shaves with the law and some questionable judgements about who "deserved saving" he was convinced to tone down his activities and eventually ended up sharing a flat with Jambo, a friend from college who had also manifested some bizarre powers and spent some time superheroing. |
