[color=black][b][u]Extreme Bengal (Bio)[/u][/b][/color] --------------- [b]Name:[/b] Extreme Bengal (stylized as [i]Xtreme Bengal[/i]) [b]Species:[/b] Bengal tiger (formerly human; more on that below) [b]Alternate Name:[/b] Paul Chaffer [b]Nationality:[/b] American [b]Age Frozen (due to CNG):[/b] 29 [b]Hometown:[/b] San Diego, CA, USA [b]Current Residence:[/b] San Diego, CA, USA [b]Occupation(s):[/b] Comic book artist and model (more on that below); former part-time fast food employee; bodybuilder [b]Superpowers:[/b] Flight, super speed, super strength, super X-ray vision, super hearing, super high jump, super sense of smell, and super acrobatic skills. Like many of the other G-52s, he can only fly when he has his battle uniform on, but he has the other batch of superpowers all the time. [b]Battle Uniform:[/b] Traditional form-fitting uniform of red, white and black, although with variations; he wears white gloves, a red cape, and black boots, with the rest of the costume alternating between red and black for the most part. In the center of his chest are the letters "XB" in white. [b]Bio (real):[/b] Paul is one of many furries that were once human beings until CNG took their humanity away, now being documented by the C.I.D.F., and also belongs to a new subgroup Super C is calling the "Comic Book All-Stars." This is because during the ninth documentation wave, held at the large palace of His Mightiness, King Lionel XVIII (a.k.a. the Monarch Major), a number of individuals had gone to a superhero convention (but not the same as the one involved in the first eight waves); they entered as humans, and left as animals with superpowers. This is due to CNG smugglers wanting to carry out genocide against groups of people that they assumed don't have a life, only to find out they went to the wrong convention. (These same individuals also attended the San Diego Comic Con a few times.) Paul is also one of multiple winners of a contest the convention held, in which multiple groups of two, three, or four each appeared wearing the same premise of a superhero's costume (though they are not necessarily identical). After a series of interviews and other contests, the judges would pick a winner, and the prize was a guarantee that their character they were posing as would have a comic book published by either Marvel Comics, DC Comics, or JJ Comics. ("JJ Comics" is a comic book company founded by the Jaguar of Justice.) The runners-up in each group would still get to appear in the comics, but just as supporting characters of the main hero. However, many of the losers had other ideas for comics, and would end up having them published anyways, because the judges (all representatives from all three companies) liked what they saw, and still saw potential in them. Prior to the convention, Paul was working as a Taco Bell employee to help him pay for his college education; he ended up staying afterwards since no one else was hiring, but his degree is in business administration, which he hoped would help work his way up the ranks. After the convention, Paul ended up quitting that job in order to work full-time for JJ Comics, in which he contributes to the comic book starring the fictional version of him. Paul was also a massive fan of the [i]Power Rangers[/i] franchise in his younger days, and enjoys quoting various dialogue from said franchise (in particular the original [i]Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers[/i]). Paul can only speak English, and was placed on the "USA Waiting List" (because Super C was looking for more international recruits, but the bulk majority still ended up being American). [b]Bio (fictional):[/b] The comic book portrayal of Paul reimagines him as one that had been a tiger the whole time, instead of starting as a human. However, it portrays him as a victim of a variation on how CNG took his humanity from him, because in that story, he was just a mere 12 years old when he was unfortunately kidnapped just as he was trying to get off the school bus. The police weren't able to recover him, sadly, until after the villain forced him into being part of an experiment in his lab. The villain's intentions were to make Paul his everlasting slave; instead, because he forgot the formula all wrong by adding too much of one specific chemical (Chemical XYZ), it gave Paul superpowers. The quick-thinking tiger cub then managed to escape the villain's clutches, and in a chain reaction that was instead cause by a lightning strike (because the weather made it stormy), the villain's lab exploded. Paul flew out of the lab to safety just as it exploded, and it led the public to assume the villain had accidentally pressed a self-destruct button that made the lab explode. (The lab didn't have a self-destruct button.) Paul has since then been a virtually indestructible superhero, and the comic book lampshades this with the storylines it writes (although they are still episodic in nature). [b]Quotes:[/b] "The back-story is a variation of how CNG had taken my humanity away from me, because the character I play was a human being that was kidnapped and forced into an experiment in the villain’s lab. The intention was for me to be his slave. Instead, he got the formula all wrong because he overlooked one little detail—he added too much of a chemical—and it gave me superpowers. Go figure. Now I'm virtually indestructible. It’s a bit like how Cripto is the real world’s ultimate superhero." (when talking to Super C) "Ugh! I hate the GSAF! They give me such a headache!"
