APPEARANCE & SHTICK APPEARANCE Height: 6' 1" Hair: Brown Weight: 175 lbs Eyes: Brown Meltdown wears a black costume with a turquoise chest pattern. He wears a mask, even though his identity is known, leading many profilers to posit a potential split personality or psychological distancing effect between the old nice-guy Thaddeus and the angry Meltdown personas. As Thaddeus, an moderately handsome black man in his mid 30's, with short black hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. PERSONALITY & MOTIVATION Bitter and angry, Meltdown is full of misplaced rage and a need to lash out. CATCH PHRASE(S) "DIE!" POWERS & SPECIAL EFFECTS Meltdown has a powerful array of Radiation Emission powers that permit him to project a variety of blasts, irradiate a large area around himself, fly, and protect himself from harm. The Radiation Field power deserves special mention; the intent of this ability is for anyone within 576" that he attacks with the blasts in his Radiation MP (or in HtH) also take this Radiation damage as well; and anyone attacking him from within 576" also take the damage. This is not a strictly legal usage of Damage Shield, but is a more straightforward way of accomplishing the effect than buying a Triggered EB with a Detect and so forth. GMs not comfortable with this usage should drop the AoE and upscale the dice of effect instead to meet the minimum AP requirements of the EC.

ORIGIN Thaddeus used to be a nice guy. He was a responsible husband with a wife and two young children, and made good money as a Radiology Technician. The hours could be long, but the pay was decent. He was good at his job too, and was made a senior tech by 26, which was pretty fast. All was well until a freak accident occured one afternoon when he was helping some third party folks install a new UMAXIN XLR-7310 full body 360 degree drum X-Ray unit. Thaddeus hopped on the slide-table so the guys installing the unit could make sure the device was hooked up properly. However, after he had been slid into the drum, one of the installers flipped the wrong switch and turned the drum on. The thing malfunctioned, overloading its circuitry, and innundating Thaddeus with lethal levels of radiation. Suprisingly he suffered no noticeable ill effect and the entire occurance didnt draw any particular notice or comment. As far as the installers could tell the thing just didnt work, so they carted it off again. Thaddeus went home to his family and had dinner, thinking nothing of it. That night everyone went to bed as normal in the Jones house, but in the morning Thaddeus was the only one that woke up. Through the night the lethal levels of Radiation he was emitting killed his entire family. In shock he called the cops, and they of course assumed he had murdered him and locked him up. It was billed as yet another instance of a person snapping and killing their own family, although autopsies would later show the true cause of death. In the meantime however, over the next day all of the inmates in the same jail as Thaddeus sickened and died, and the cops working there got ill too. It was assumed that Thaddeus was somehow doing it, and the cops were getting panicky as they felt themselves getting sick. One of them lost it and tried to shoot Thaddeus in his cell to make it stop, and the fear of being shot caused Thaddeus to activate his powers for the first time. The bullet hit him in the shoulder, causing a lot of damage and driving Thaddeus directly into a murderous rage. He melted his way out of his jail cell and slew many of the cops in the precinct before a group of local heroes showed up in response to the call for assitance. Breaking out of his rage, Thaddeus flew off into a world he now hated. Deprived of all he held dear and pushed beyond his capacity to bear it, Thaddeus was unhinged by the entire affair and now takes out his anger on the world. He has learned how to control his powers and turned to a life of crime, selling his services to the highest bidder. Recently he has accepted a few contracts from a new gig called Enforcers Inc -- so far he's been hired on as heavy firepower for some in-and-out jobs like banks.
