Guerrero possesses a suite of abilities but they are best characterized under the categories:
Enhanced Physical Capabilities: Guerrero possesses physical abilities that go beyond the norm of humanity, furthermore his mind has adapted to these physical changes and thus he can use his capabilities to their fullest extent. This means he is faster, stronger, tougher, and generally superior than any human. That said, his capabilities do not reach supernatural levels and he has encountered individuals that outstrip him in one or more categories. Luckily for him, he has yet met someone who can outstrip him in all categories, a factor that has allowed him to adapt to his many adversaries. It must be noted that his abilities developed in his mid sixties and it is likely that another super with similar capabilities may in fact be stronger as a result of developing their powers during their prime. This is however, merely speculated.
Enhanced Regeneration: Guerrero possesses an accelerated healing process that enables him to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with far greater efficiency than an ordinary human. The obliteration of his body would likely result in his death as he cannot regenerate from rogue cells. However, he has managed to survive what would normally be fatal injuries, though the more grievous the wound the more time it takes to heal. Guerrero suspects that the removal or destruction of his head would mean his death but this hasn't been tested. The regeneration is rapid but not instantaneous, and he can be put out of commission during a fight if he sustains enough trauma. The regeneration is so pronounced that it results in Slow Aging. Alexander is quite the old man at 124, yet he retains the appearance of a man in his late 40s to early 50s. Alexander is effectively immune to the ravages of time and in fact may be recovering from it.
Enhanced Vision: Guerrero’s eye abilities make no outward sign of being used, allowing him to use his abilities with none being the wiser, in fact, Guerrero has had a long time to get accustomed to his abilities; he has reached the point that his powers are just as natural for him as breathing. Guerrero can see clearly and precisely over incredibly large distances. Going so far as to be able to read a man’s lips from across a city. Furthermore, he can observe events in a variety of spectra, for example: Guerrero can see clearly in the darkness; to even see heat through infrared or find clues through ultraviolet. He is even a bit of Mind Reader, for body language has a lot to say, if you can read it. Guerrero’s eyesight allows him to read body language to such a degree that he can appear to be reading a person’s mind. As such, lying to Guerrero is nearly impossible, and he benefits from a type of foresight in combat. This is due in part to Alexander's ability to zero in on the slightest of movements, and has over the years learned to extrapolate or discern what might occur because of it.
Accelerated Perception: As a result of his Enhanced Agility, Reflexes and Vision, Guerrero is capable of seeing and reacting to events with startling speed & efficiency. It is surprising that few suspect there is more going on under the surface: Causality Perception. When questioned he likened it to seeing everything moving in slow motion and knowing what steps he needs to take to achieve success. It is this combination of abilities that allows him to perform extraordinary feats such as dodging gunfire in battle zones.
➳ What are their weaknesses?
- Touched upon under powers, but Guerrero's real weakness is time. His physical abilities may surpass any human but a Super possessing supernatural levels of power in any of those given categories would exceed his capabilities. Given enough sustained punishment (such as his head being removed) Guerrero might not be able to recover from it, though to his credit, it hasn't been tested. Finally some of his powers are focused around his vision, if he cannot see, those powers are useless to him. He can be knocked unconscious through sufficient brute force, toxins and poisons have little to no effect and the man hasn't had a cough since 1958.
➳ How do they act?
- • Patient & Calculating: Setting plans within plans Guerrero always has contingencies in the case of mishap. In the case he doesn't have a prepared plan, he is more than capable of improvising a gambit. Capable of waiting months, even years for just parts of his plan to fall into place, Guerrero knows the value of patience.
• Brilliant & Cunning: With his natural aptitude for plans, schemes, and plots, in addition to his past training and combined with his mutant ability, Guerrero has no difficulties in figuring out what everyone else in the game is planning. Meaning that he can not only account for their plots, but can even use their plan to further his own. Constantly manipulating the field until it he gets something he wants. It's hard to predict just what move would make this man lose...
• Charismatic: Charming and sophisticated, Guerrero often exudes a feeling of class and elegance; friendly and polite, he often makes friends easily.
• Determined: Guerrero has always been a man to get the job done, whatever the job may be. To do so, he will use just about any means, letting nothing or no one stand in his way. Though he is never pointlessly cruel, having a reason for everything he does, it is fair to say that he is not a nice man. He adheres to a loose code of honor, perhaps loose due to his past as a spy, not an inherently noble profession.
Charming sophisticated secret agent. Yes, I know that's Bond's description but it fits here too. Guerrero will sincerely compliment you on your efforts as he kills you. He doesn't have to strut his stuff because he knows that he's king of the world, one small piece at a time. It's his quiet confidence that ultimately scares you.
➳ What's their backstory?
- Alexander Remington is not Alexander Remington. Well, not like how you and I are you and I. The man was born in the year 1892 in the city of London, England under the name Gareth Macmillan. When he turned 18 he enlisted in the army, where he was trained as a sharpshooter and scout. Four years later would mark the start of The Great War, where Gareth fought in the trenches for England. The activities of Macmillan grew to be infamous, in fact his skilled marksmanship led him to be called "Das Gespenst" The Ghost in German.
Unbeknownst to most, Gareth was tapped alongside six other remarkable individuals prior to the war as intelligence officers. These individuals would become the founding members of what is now MI6. After World War 1 Gareth Macmillan disappeared, having seemingly vanished from the face of the earth. In truth Gareth retired his own identity to adopt a new one for the agency: Edward Remington. Remington is known to have been part of numerous clandestine operations around the world, he was MI6’s go to man.
Officially, no one knew of his existence as MI6 was itself clandestine at the time, but he was their top agent, their best spy. Not all of his missions are known, especially because they were not well documented, not even by MI6. It is known that Remington continued to work for years and was around during World War 2. In fact records found indicate that Edward Remington was deep in enemy territory organizing and directing clandestine operations throughout Europe. His ability to infiltrate enemy occupied territories and acquire sensitive intelligence made him a key asset to the British Government.
Around the very end of the WWII, Remington was allegedly captured and taken to an interment camp in Asia. Images found show a wounded Remington being abused and toyed with by amused Japanese soldiers. No sign of Remington was found once soldiers finally found and assaulted the camp. The only evidence of his captivity were reports to superiors requesting transport for a prisoner who appeared to possess credible sensitive information. Remington's last known location was boarding the requested convoy, the convoy later disappeared.
In truth, Remington managed to escape his restraints and murdered his captors, destroying the convoy. The Japanese cooked up reports claiming that the convoy was allegedly destroyed in a counter strike by resistance fighters. Remington, suspecting that his capture had been a result of an internal leak disappeared to find the mole. Once he found and neutralized the enemy agent, Remington realized he enjoyed working the shadows unattached to any government agency. Going rogue, Remington worked towards building his own organization. Years passed, with Remington adopting and discarding multiple identities as he traveled around the world building his agency. His skills pushed him to continue to keep tabs on emerging technologies until he stumbled upon the possibility of the "Chicago Experiment," in fact, despite it not being known, he was actually present for the infamous test. Within months of the experiment he found himself to be de-aging, and though he didn't recover his youth per-say he did regain some measure of his old vitality as his powers manifested (as time progressed he found that he had in fact surpassed his previous capabilities). From that point he spent his time over the decades manipulating the world to his whims from the shadows. Nowadays he calls himself Alexander Remington, but he prefers his handle of Guerrero, a name he finds most apt given his past. Realizing that there are more and more individuals such as himself, Remington has begun to plan his own vision for the world.
➳ Anything else we need to know?
- Gɪʀʟ, Lᴏᴏᴋ Aᴛ Tʜᴀᴛ Bᴏᴅʏ: Guerrero possesses the body of an older man who has done an excellent job of maintaining himself. While not bulky, Guerrero retains a lean and mean body full of wiry strength. Though not the tallest man on the block, Guerrero will be the first to tell you that height isn't everything. Guerrero may have slowed down in comparison to his prime, but even without his powers he'd be leaving most people in the dust. Guerrero's body is a finely built machine of calculating destruction, pray it isn't focused at you.
Master of Covert Ops: Due to his experience traveling the world, working for or in several countries, and his intimate past involving the development of most of the techniques involved in covert ops, he can be considered one of the founders of modern espionage and covert warfare.
Multi-lingual: This work also resulted in Guerrero being a polyglot aided later in life by his neural plasticity as a result of his powers. Remington is fluent in many languages including English, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Chinese, German, Vietnamese, Portuguese, Turkish, and Arabic.
Combat Expert: Guerrero is a hand-to-hand combat expert. He helped developed the styles favored by covert operatives and spies as well as studied a variety of martial arts. He also served in the army as a sniper for several wars, resulting in thorough understanding of a variety of weapons.
My Collection Guerrero possesses an assortment of weapons collected over his life, in addition to an odd ring bearing the number 7 preceded by the infinity symbol.
