Prometheus

prometheus_redhanded_comic_character_fallen_justice

Real name: Prometheus

Powers: Incredible strength, the ability to manipulate fire in a medium range, and heals virtually any wound almost instantly.

General description: Nearly 7’ tall, wears a tunic with homespun pants, looks more like a beggar than a superhero. His hair is long and braided back into a pony tail. His weapon of choice is a large axe.

History: One of the only Titans to survive the ascension of the Greek gods, Prometheus defied the new king Zeus and gave fire to mankind. For this crime he was chained to a rock and cursed to have an eagle eat out his liver by day, and to have it grow anew at night. He stayed for untold years chained to that rock in perpetual suffering until Hercules set him free. Since that time he has wandered the Earth doing what good he could for mankind. Recently he has taken on a much higher profile with his membership in the Guardians and his aggressive stance toward fighting injustice. Prometheus may be gruff and harsh, but he truly does mean well, in his own way.
