[QUOTE="Synchronicity, post: 1581537, member: 10070"] I'd be interested, if that's OK. The idea I'm currently kicking around is a pretty straightforward brick. No bells, no whistles:just two fists like ham hocks and a will to use 'em. I was curious, though; could people be exempt from military service if they were doing a job the country needed? Since I had the idea of a manual labourer of some sort, it's possible he could be helping to build tanks/ships/insert useful wartime item here. If that's not enough to exempt him from service, then I'm thinking a criminal record would work: he could have done jobs for the Mob on a few occasions as a leg-breaker and muscle man (you don't say no to the Mob), and could have done time for them. Of course, that was *before* he realised his superhuman abilities. Failing that, there's the good old alcohol fuelled temper excuse. I'm open to your preferences on this. :) Cheers, Synchronicity.
