Mr. IMMORTAL
HERO NAME: MR. IMMORTAL (aka - Mr. I)
REAL NAME: Craig "Craigers" Hollis
QUOTE: "I drank what?"
OCCUPATION: adventurer
BASE OF OPERATIONS: Milwaukee, WI
PERSONALITY:
Basically a genuinely nice frindly guy from the southeast that's looking to help others (a people pleaser), but because of this need to help others he also believes that he's the BEST suited to run the team, direct others and lead... One side effect of his ability, is that when he comes back from the dead, he comes back very angry, and it is usually up to his teammate, Dinah Soar, to calm him down. He is known to display a violent, almost berserker, rage when battling foes.
BASIC POWERS & TACTICS:
Craig is good at making quick and intelligent decisions; however his rashness and overconfidence can get his team into more trouble than they can handle. Craig has the ability to come back to life from any imaginable death that he suffers. His body regenerates lost parts as it heals, his very atoms would have to be scattered across space for him to be permanently slain. During the time of his "death" he has no bodily life signs and truly is dead for all practical purposes. It usually takes about 10 minutes for him to completely recover. This gives him the courage to try lots of daring stunts and so he is always willing to put his life on the line for the rest of the team.
BACKGROUND:
Mr. Immortal has been the leader of the Great Lakes Avengers since it's inception. Leading the team he has worked through several incarnations... The Charter GLA, the Hawkeye & Mockingbird trained team, working with Deadpool, and the name change to the "Lightning Bolts" following the apparent death of the Avengers - named as a sister group to the Thunderbolts. The Great Lakes Avengers have always been "C level" heroes, losers, a joke to many. But they are heroes. And Mr. Immortal is the head loser... Their fist public appearance was at the Milwaukee Farmers and Merchant Trust building, whenre they stopped a robbery and cam to the attention of Hawkeye. Hawkeye decided to investigate the so0called "Great Lakes Avengers" along with Mockingbird. Seeing potential in the members, Hawkeye became the temporary leader of the GLA.
The team successfully aided the Vision in rescuing the Scarlet Witch and She Hulk from That Which Endures. The team still trains hard though Hawkeye's return to the West Coast Avengers has put Mockingbird in the trainer's spot for these fledgling heroes. Where they will become and official, fully-contracted franchise of the Avengers remained to be seen...
The GLA rechristened themselves the "Lightning Rods" to emulate the Thunderbolts following the apparent deaths of many heroes including the Avengers.
Most recently Craig was happy to learn that he had been "called up" to the big leagues - an invitation to join the Avengers. Craig lamented the invitation, not wanting to leave his team behind... But together the remaining four convinced Mr. I that he shouldn't waist this chance to help people on such great a scale...
