Oooo! Had an idea for a possible another character, want to throw it around first and make sure its not just cool sounding in my head.<br/><br/>Working Title - The Negative Man<br/><br/>Before the Apocalypse, he was homeless bum with an incredibly negative personality. Pessimistic, nihilistic, sarcastic, and with a sense of humor so dry it could kill small animals at 50 paces his friends would joke that his personality counted as a superpower and dubbed him "The Negative Man".<br/><br/>Then Apocalypse came to town and put them all up to judgement. Damn it, isn't that always the way? And of course, the Negative Man's reaction to the serum is particularly bad and he almost immediately dies horribly in a puddle of his own bodily fluids. Figures. He couldn't even die right.<br/><br/>Except he got back up an hour later, and from what he could tell he was immune to mind control effects - for about 10 minutes when another of Apocalypse's lackeys saw someone moving around in the body-pile and skewered him with a rock spear. Did he mention just how painful dying is?<br/><br/>Since then he's figured out that he did indeed come out of Judgement with a super-power. He's taken to calling it "Reactive Immortality". Basically, that means that whenever he dies he'll repair-and-resurrect and come back with a superpower that would of prevented his previous death. Usually the process takes a few minutes but really it depends on how much damage he has to repair. Can take hours, can take just a few seconds.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the power he gets tends to be less then impressive. Not always, but tends to. Not to mention he has no control over what the power actually is - he just knows that whatever it is it would of prevented his previous death.<br/><br/>Death by Judgement? Immunity to Mind Control.<br/>Skewered by a Rock Spear? The ability to come apart at his joints with his parts able to move around independently.<br/>Fell of a Building? The ability to hover in place.<br/>Beaten to death by a mob of Apocalypse's Goons? The ability to absorb the psychic emissions associated with emotions and use that energy to generate bolts of kinetic force from his hands. [Okay, this one was actually pretty good.]<br/>Shot to death by looters? The ability to generate very distracting holographic butterflies.<br/><br/>You get the idea. And of course there's the issue that to activate his primary power and even have a shot at getting a decent secondary power he has to die. Has he mentioned how much dying really fucking hurts? Because it does.
