Captain Justice (real name Bradley "Brad" Steele) is an adventurer who flies around Millennium City, Canada, Vibora Bay, the Southwest Desert and Monster Island to set right what had gone wrong.

History

Early Life

Born and raised in Detroit before it became Millennium City, Brad Steele always had a desire to seek truth buried beneath the dust of time. He thus chose to become an archaeologist that specialized in pre-human relics and myth-tech long considered the stuff of legend, and very soon become a prominent and respected one - plenty to draw attention from UNTIL, whom he worked under through contracts to uncover ancient relics.

'The Discovery’

That all changed on the day where he was exploring a dig site regarding a mysterious pre-human civilization -one believed by some to predate even the Lemurians- in a long-buried ruin beneath the Andes, Brad uncovered the Aegis Reliquary, a sarcophagus-like containment unit sealed by unbreakable alloy and inscribed with warnings in dozens of dead languages.

The Incident

Upon touching the relic, it opened itself and engulfed Brad with a wave of radiant energy - rewriting his biology and igniting what ancient myth-tech engineers called the Justicar Protocol: a failsafe designed by that ancient civilization to empower a worthy mortal with divine might in times of moral collapse, during which injustice threatens to overtake the world once more.

Brad was chosen not just for his proximity… but his unwavering sense of right.

His bones resonated with cosmic frequencies, and visions of long-dead civilizations whispered justice into his thoughts. He understood the message: the ancient world had been failed by its protectors. He would not allow history to repeat itself.

The Birth of a Hero

Brad awoke days later, changed. Now imbued by the Aegis Reliquary with superhuman strength, resilience, and flight, he was transformed into a living conduit of forgotten justice.

However, rather than answering the call right then and there, Brad decided to use his newfound powers to visit his parents and inform them about his new abilities and responsibilities.
When he arrived, he came across a most horrible sight…

His parents’ home’s living room was trashed, with all furniture turned over and their belongings strewn about, smashed and broken.
But what scared Brad most was the sight of his parents, each laying on the floor unconscious with a dark figure and what appeared to be zombies near them.
Brad rushed through the door, clobbering the figure’s undead minions to a pulp before confronting the dark figure. The latter just laughed before removing his mask to reveal the face of Brad’s former colleague and best friend Victor Lazarus. Victor explained that he blames Brad for his death; Brad and his team left Victor for dead when Brad touched the Aegis Reliquary. Brad tried to explain that he had no choice, but Victor was beyond reasoning. He unleashed the same dark energy blast that cost Brad’s parents their lives on Brad…

But Bradley Steele did not die that day.

When Brad came to, he noticed that his old friend was long gone.
Embracing the lifeless bodies of his parents one more time with tears in his eyes, Brad did the necessary arrangements for their funeral.

After a week of moarning, Captain Justice was born - a flying juggernaut wrapped in an unshakable purpose and unwavering conviction to defend the weak and innocent beyond against threats both modern and ancient, and whose very being is thus a counterbalance to evil. A reborn symbol and a last promise from a forgotten past that injustice will always meet its reckoning. All of this is fueled by the grief of having lost his parents and guilt for not being there to save them in time.

His power is thus drawn not from fame or fortune, but from a higher code: accountability, honor, duty, legacy, and truth — no matter how heavy they are to carry.

Despite his great power, Brad remains grounded. He still believes in diplomacy first. But when diplomacy fails? He beats the criminal(s) out cold.

But he knows that justice isn't just punishment - it's responsibility. It’s healing. And above all, it’s not a weapon. It’s a shield. When Captain Justice appears overhead, villains remember: You can bury the past… but sometimes it digs back up.

But he still seeks revenge on Victor Lazarus for the death of his parents. But in the meantime, he would remain one who stands up to monsters like Lazarus.

Because someone had to become the hero he wished had come… before it was too late

Appearance

Brad Steele is a seventh generation American male, mostly of English descent. He is a 6’3’’ tall man with an athletic build that doesn't really unveil his true physical strength. His black hair is fashioned in a neat haircut and he is clean shaven, well-groomed and properly turned out at all time as a means to look as nice as he is. He speaks pure American English, with a hint of sarcasm thrown in every now and then.

As Captain Justice, he wears a nigh-indestructible and mostly yellow spandex suit with a blue line in the middle, blue rubber gloves and boots, a blue domino mask, blue briefs of sorts over his suit, and a red cape.

Personality

Brad is a very personable and friendly person, always willing to lend a helping hand and acting silly to provide some comic relief, although he's also known to be quite sarcastic. And though quickly frustrated, he has yet to actually lose his temper at all; indeed, even in some extraordinarily stressful situations, he managed to control himself.

It is safe to state that Brad will continue to display good manners and stand up for the underdog, especially in the face of injustice.

Philosophy

Captain Justice's mindset is very much like a traditional superhero; kind to innocents and allies, punishing to those who harm them. He has a deep respect for all life, but cannot simply stand by when one individual makes the life of another miserable, and therefore has a very strong code against killing, unless absolutely necessary to make sure the perpetrator would never harm an innocent again. It is therefore questionable if he strikes enemies with as much strength as he really has; it's more likely that he constantly holds back to knock them out and prevent that he'd kill them.

Powers, Skills, and Attributes

Powers

Captain Justice is a mutate with the following powers that he had received from the Aegis Reliquary’s Justicar Protocol:

Superhuman Durability - The radiant energy has augmented Captain Justice's bodily tissues, making them much more resistant to physical injury than the tissues of a normal human. He can withstand high caliber bullets, falls from great heights, powerful energy blasts, and great impact forces without sustaining as much injury as a normal human would.

Superhuman Strength - He is much, much stronger than an ordinary human, able to lift cars and severely damage metallic objects with his strikes, if not outright destroy them. This strength also allows him to leap several feet horizontally, striking his target right after, clap his hands together to stun enemies with thundering sound, and take a small jump for a stomp to wreak havoc. However, his strength becomes most devastating when he focuses it into a singular haymaker punch that has an impact powerful enough to send targets flying.

Superhuman Stamina - Captain Justice's mutated musculature generates less fatigue toxins during physical activity than that of a normal human. He is able to at least exert himself at peak capacity for several hours without tiring.

Temporary Invulnerability - Striking an enemy repeadetly with a certain combo or simply concentrating for a split second allows his body to generate a forcefield that protects himselfs from further harm. In the latter case, this invulnerability lasts for only a very short while, but it should be efficient enough to have Joe remain the shield of justice that he is.

Accelerated Healing - Should he still be harmed, his body will still repair external and internal organs much faster than a normal human would due to his superhuman metabolism.

Flight - He is able to propel himself through the air by sheer force of will. The maximum speed he can reach while in flight seems to be just above running speed. This will also keep him out of harm's way if he manages to fly high enough fast enough.

Super Speed - Having recently acquired this power, Captain Justice is able to travel at speeds much higher than that of a normal human's.

Skills

Archaeological Knowledge - Having been an archaeologist brought with it a necessity to have a vast knowledge of ancient civilizations and relics.

Technical Knowledge - He has constructed his wrist-computer entirely on his own, confirming that he is quite knowledgeable on this field as well.

Attributes

Strength

Captain Justice has a Mighty physical strength, enough to lift between 10 and 50 tons.

Endurance

He can perform strenuous activity for up to 24 hours before becoming tired due to his Superhuman fortitude and sheer determination when facing difficult challenges.

Agility

He is Alert enough toe asily avoid attacks from a single target, and can get around when fighting multiple targets at close range thanks to his coordination and reflexes. He can also narrowly escape from objects incoming from afar.

Speed

Brad’s running speed is somewhat Accelerated above that of a normal human that engages in regular physical exercise, allowing him to move at speeds between 30-50 MPH. His flying speed, however, is higher than this and can be built up or even at its maximum after a brief concentration. Recently, however, his leg muscles have become strong enough to have him reach a running speed that no ordinary human can reach.

Fighting Skill

Brad is Experienced enough to know how to defend himself, using the striking power from his mutated strength through his fists to end fights. His combat rating and accuracy with close ranged attacks makes him a force to be reckoned with.

Projectiles/Ranged Attacks

Brad has a Basic combat rating and accuracy with long ranged attacks, preferring to get up close and personal with his targets. This includes munitions, bows, power armor weaponry, energy projection (elemental, magic, force), etc.

Durability

Captain Justice's Unbreakable augmented physique leaves him sturdy enough that his bones are incredibly difficult to break on top of having skin that is impervious to bullets. He can therefore withstand a lot of physical punishment. While striking enemies, however, he can even generate a forcefield that temporarily leaves him Indestructible, during which nothing can harm him.

Resistance

The Captain has a Superior resistance to elemental, magical, and energy based damage, toxic environments. It requires people to possess better trained abilities to do harm to him. While he has his forcefield up, he even becomes outright Invincible to this damage.

Intelligence

Brad has a Gifted IQ of 130, leaving him with a sufficient capacity for knowledge and problem solving abilities.

Psyche

Bradley has a Strong-willed mental state in healthy condition, and is able to resist against those with weaker psionic abilities.

Intuition

Brad is a very intuitive and empathetic Humanitarian individual, willing to help every troubled person he meets so he can make their lives a little better.

Charisma

Brad has a rather Energetic charisma; he is always more than willing to talk with total strangers and isn’t afraid of offering his help.

Gear and Equipment

Gear

Costume - Brad has specifically tailored the costume he wears by using a Nomex fire-resistant, triple-weave Kevlar-lined material. It is an excellent protection against damage, electrically insulated, and durable enough to withstand gunfire, blades, wear and tear.

Wrist-Computer - Brad wears a customized smartwatch that he had reconstructed to act as a portable high-tech computer.

Utility Belt - He wears a brown belt with pockets that he uses for quick and easy access to whichever instrument should be used to solve the current problem at hand.

Relationships

Friends/Allies

• Defender: The leader of the Champions, held in high regard by Bradley.

Enemies

Dr. Maul

• Dr. Maul: Formerly merely an amoral genius who sold his employees' chemical compounds as mutations to criminals, Captain Justice and Dr. Maul have clashed a couple times, starting with Dr. Maul's simple desire to obtain a lot of money by stealing a priceless artifact from the museum in Millennium City, to taking over the TV station to broadcast himself and tell about his desire to rule the world, to plotting revenge on Captain Justice for the latter having him sent to jail.

Dr. Maul escaped, and at one point managed to take over the PRIMUS building, where he gathered up several supervillains to ensure being able to create his Deathray.

Captain Justice knew he simply cannot let this pass. Still seeking to not just avenge himself on his former employer, but also to stop his nefarious plans to likely destroy the world rather than take it over, he eventually managed to find Dr. Maul in his volcanic lair, overload the Deathray and have his nemesis be sent to jail after a rather long fight.

However, unknown to Captain Justice, Dr. Maul was approached by Dr. Destroyer himself...
