Scardoni who disappeared shortly after he was concieved (everyone just assumed that Scardoni was caught by some of Gozzi’s soldiers and sent to “sleep with the fishes”).  He just felt different. When he became a man, his grandfather, who loved Sal greatly, recruited him for the faimily “business” as a numbers runner, then enforcer and finally, after he was made, Don Gozzi’s lieutenant.  But Sal never felt comfortable in this line of work.  With Don Gozzi’s blessing, he set up a plumbing business on the side.  And so it went for a few years, until one day, Sal’s grandfather passed away (nautral causes, believe it or not).  That’s when Sal’s troubles began. Sal’s half-brother Gaetano (Guy), a vicious sadistic man who was very jealous of his grandfather’s loving Sal so much, became the new head of the family, being a legitimate heir.  First, he demanded Sal’s loyalty (which Sal gave reluctantly), then forced Sal to give him a cut of his plumbing business-as partner and so he could use it as a “front” for family activities.  This, Sal refused to do.  So Guy decided to pay a little visit… Sal was in the basement cleaning his tools when Guy showed up with three men.  He told Guy how disappointed he was with Sal, and gave him one last chance to cut him in.  Sal refused and so Guy had his men seal up the basement, break a water main and lock Sal in the basement to drown. With the water rushing in, Sal tried to get out, but it was no use.  In desperation, he called to the spirit of his grandfather. “Mi Padre”, he said, “help your loyal son!”  There was a flash of lightning, and the image of a giant Norse man stood before him.  “My Son”, the figure said, “from this day forward, your true lineage shall be known to you.  Rise as the god you were meant to be.  Go forth and rid Midgard of it’s evil.  Then come and join me in Asgard.  Rise, rise Son of Odin!”  another flash of light and Sal stood, knee-deep in water, clad in a warrior’s outfit and wielding… …a plunger. Instinctively, he swung the plunger and the vortex it ceated drained the water.  He then took the water main and, with his mighty godlike strength, tied the pipe closed.  When he burst out of the basement, Guy’s boys were not ready for the powerhouse that deflected their bullets and crushed their guns.  After they ran, Sal decided that it was time to pay his own visit to Guy. In the months to come, Sal discovered that O.D. Scardoni was actually Odin in disguise, having taken a fancy to Maria and seduced her.  He also waged war on Guy and the family, things getting so out of hand that Odin had to descend and have a little “talk” with Guy.  Now, Guy and the Gozzi family have an “understanding” with Asgard. As for Sal, he still has the plumbing business (which has been declared “off limits” by the family) and a better understanding with his brother.  He does the superhero bit, which he enjoys.  He knows that the whole “family” thing is not legal, but he’s been around it so much he understands the thinking.  The family (and the rival families) also know that if it gets out of hand, Sal will step in to stop it, even going so far to ask Papa Odin to declare war on the families.  On a personal level, if he can use his family connection as leverage to fight evil, he will.  He still has lots of favors… Appearance/Personality: Floor is a big muscular Italian-American guy clad in a blue shirt, yellow suspenders, work pants and boots and topped with a spittoon on his head, highlighted by wings. As Flöör, Sal talks with a heavy Noo Yawk accent, peppered with “thees” and “thous” and a somewhat Shakesperian tone. --- Grizzly Irving <img src="http://www.valdier.com/roleplaying/MnM/downloads/SmokeStackJones/images/GIrvingLoRes.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Alternate Identity: Irving Plotnick Group Affiliation: None First Appearance: Steamroller Six #31 Quote:“(Humming) Dee de dee hmm hmm hmmmm hmm, Sweet Georgia Brown…Well, how do ya do?  Wanna see a trick?” (bops bad guy on head with mallet from pocket) Height: 7’ 6” Weight: 450 lbs.

After Irving was found naked in a barn he was told of his rampage through the villaige.  We’ll, it wasn’t really a rampage; more like a night on the town, boozing it up at the local tavern and tipping cows.  Seems that he caroused with a couple of the locals and they put him in their barn to sleep it off. Now, every time he’s under stress he turns into a bear.  But the weakening of the curse over centuries and Irving’s habit of watching catoons all the time had an effect on what he became: a big goofy bear with a derby and jeans, going out and having a good time.  In addition, he seems to have whatever he needs at hand in his pockets.  Hammer, dynamite, you name it.  Several club owners like to have him around (he’s better than a bouncer) and a few ladies think he’s cute too.   Irving heard about superheroes and now got a hankerin’ to see what they’re about.  He got his wish one night when he stumbled upon The Amazing Snipe fighting the minions of Baron Von Wedgie in an alley.  Wading in, he was effective-a bit too effective: one lay dying and another is now confined to a wheelchair. The Snipe took him under his wing, taught him how to fight and instilled in him the notion of Fighting Evil.  Now Grizzly Irving, as he’s known, patrols the streets of the city at night-as long as he can still have a drink, shoot some pool and generally have a good time.  Keeps him out of trouble with the police, too.  Nothin’ like trying to arrest an eight-foot-tall bear on a D&D… Appearance: Irving Plotnick looks like a nondescript human male, a bit on the nerdish side.  Grizzly Irving looks like a large, upright, somewhat goofy-looking bear with a derby and jeans.  He has a stunned look and mumbles, hums and sings to himself. </blockquote>
