Name: Ferris Welder

Alias: Metalworker

Power: Metal Mimicry

Appearance: Swedish guy of average build, long hair pulled back into a ponytail. When at work, always wearing a lab coat and safety goggles. Otherwise, tends to wear jeans, a solid-colored button-down shirt, sneakers, and a bow tie.

Personality: Mostly keeps to himself, intellectual, slightly eccentric. Tries to keep various aspects of his life (powers, work, day-to-day things) separate from each other. Sometimes they cant help but collide, but he tries to keep them apart...

Backstory: Born into a family of metalworkers, he decided to go into the field of biology instead. One evening, as he was preparing to test a sample of a serum that would potentially make a living being more physically durable, some members of his family showed up at the lab in a last-ditch attempt to get him back into the family trade. There were splotches of iron dust on the clothes of one of them, and some of it ended up settling into the serum as Ferris was talking to his family and politely declining their offer. Turning back to his serum, he injected some of it into his arm as the final test, and suddenly realized that something was wrong when his skin started taking on a grayish-silver tinge. Over the course of a number of tests, he realized that the serum was contaminated with some of the iron dust that was on his cousin's clothes, and that he himself had taken on the properties of elemental iron. He realized that he could make an antidote, but he would need to leave the lab to acquire some of the necessary chemicals. While getting some of the required materials, he noticed a mugging taking place, and thought that, in his current state, he could be of some help. He grabbed the assailant by the wrist and was able to withstand the stabbing attempts due to his current elemental composition, called the police, and remained there to hand over the assailant. Upon returning to his lab, he synthesized the antidote and became his normal self again, but he retained the iron serum, just in case. He's even started experimenting with other metallic variants of the base serum, and is slowly mastering the abilities granted him with each different metallic change, helping people in the process.
