Gaia name: NicoNyguenCharacter Name: Dr. Joshua Jones
Codename: Tarzan
Age: 32
Alignment: Neutral Good
Powers: Dr. Jone's mutation gave him the ability to access to 100% of the human potential rather than 20% that most "normal" people are in, as well as most Homo Sapiens Superior. This means that he can bring his mentality as well as his physical physique to a whole other level. After Joshua went through his mutations, he obtained the following:
Superhuman Strength: Joshua is superhumanly strong and is capable of lifting approximately 20 tons, which was sufficient to smash through a brick wall with a single punch and to tie an iron barbell into a knot.
Superhuman Speed: Joshua is capable of running and moving at speeds greater than even the finest human athlete. At his peak, Joshua could spring short distances at speeds up to 60 miles per hour.
Superhuman Stamina: Joshua's musculature, after his mutation, produced less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. He could exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue began to impair him.
Superhuman Durability: Joshua's bodily tissues are harder and more resistant to certain types of injuries than the bodies of normal humans. His physiology can withstand great impact forces, though he can be injured by many types of conventional weapons such as standard firearms and bladed weapons. However, he can withstand physical impacts, such as falling from several stories or being physically struck by many super-humanly strong beings that would either severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort.
Superhuman Agility: Joshua's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. He could walk a tightrope or a slack rope as easily as most people can walk on a sidewalk. He could also walk on his hands for many hours, or perform a complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, and springs. He could easily match any Olympic record in gymnastics if he truly tried.
Superhuman Dexterity: He can perform many tasks with his feet as easily as a human could do with his hands. His manual and pedal dexterity are so great that he can write using both hands at once or tie knots in rope with his toes.
Superhuman Reflexes: Joshua's reflexes and reaction time were enhanced to levels that were beyond the human body's natural limits.
Superhumanly Acute Senses: Joshua possesses enhanced, acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals, enabling him to see and hear distant objects more clearly than a normal human, and identify and track someone purely by scent. For one instance, when he rescued himself and a boy from being crushed by a patrol car, he was able to hell how much his heart was beating just by listening; when he pushed away a protestor off of a mutant child, he was also able to tell that the protestor had a clot building up in his heart just by touching and feeling the vibration of his heartbeat and the sound of the irregular 'lub dub' noise.
Joshua can also see in total darkness as if it was a clear sunny day, something at over a few hundred feet appears as though it is right in front of his face. Joshua's sense of hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, enabling him to hear sounds that an ordinary human can't and to be able to hear sounds that an ordinary human can, but at much greater distances. Joshua can memorize tens of thousands of scents and track them to the exact location, can smell fear, and detect if someone is lying by change in body odor. Joshua sense of taste is sensitive to the point that he is able to taste the exact ingredients of any particular food he is eating.
Regenerative Healing Factor: After his mutation, Joshua's metabolism enables him to repair mild to moderate injuries much faster than most normal human. For instance, he can recover from minor ailments, such as a cold, within a few hours. More severe injuries, like broken bones, can heal within a week, whereas normal humans might take months.
Superhuman Intelligence: Because he is able to utilize 100% of his anatomical structure, which includes the brain, Joshua can easily memorize, record and focus on a task and complete it with ease. He is not a genius by any means, but present him with a problem, show him how to do it, and within a week he'll learn it. Joshua's potential to use 100% of his brain allowed him to learn a language in five days, play the piano in three, and recall moments of his life where most would have difficulty to remember.
Bio: Joshua was born in Egypt in about 1983. His father was Dr. Rowan Jones, who later became a wealthy and world renowned rheumatologist. Rowan had emigrated to Egypt from Czechoslovakia a few years before Joshua was born. Joshua had two mother: Anna Jones, his biological mother, was killed in a car bomb in Cairo; and Marisa Jones, his step-mother, died from breast cancer. Joshua has a younger sister, and throughout his childhood he took care of her as a baby, and even going so far as to join her gymnastic team so she could feel safer with him around. He also commented that she "ended up drinking half her life away and hating me," she did however call him occasionally.
Joshua had a rough relationship with both his father, who was usually absent when he was growing up, and his step-mother, who was an alcoholic and very abusive. Also, his step-mother locked Joshua in the Rowan's study when she couldn't take care of him. Rowan left the family when Joshua was in his early teens, which gave Joshua no other option but to care alone for his alcoholic step-mother until her death, which helped him assist other mutants or people who went through abuse or trying to deal with a parent who couldn’t care for themselves.
With what appears to be a total lack of parental supervision during his adolescence, Joshua admits to wild teenage years, when he experimented with drugs and sex. However, his father continued to support the family (probably out of guilt over what happened with Joshua's mother and step-mother or possibly in lieu of being a father or parenting figure), usually to excess, so Joshua also appears to have been spoiled during his adolescence and early adulthood as well. Despite the enmity between them, Rowan never failed to come through for Joshua when he needed something, even if it was only an expensive vacation. Even when Joshua started working at a hospital, it was clear his father was financing his lifestyle as Joshua, unlike the other fellows, never lacked for or cared about money.
Joshua attended to a Roman Catholic School, and was a religious devout. However, Joshua had a crisis of faith while in the seminary and realized that it wasn’t for him. Instead, he went on getting his doctorates in biochemistry and genetics, as well as to study in the field of bioengineering.
San Francisco Panic Attack
Earth-TRN064 ((X-Men Destiny))
Joshua, from the get go, is very different from the many mutants that are around him. In fact, he's technically not from the dimension he's in. Joshua is from a dimension where Prof. Charles Xavier was killed by a Sentinel being known as Bastion. Years later, the head of the MRD Luis Reyes took up the stand to bring peace between mutants and humans.
The rally was taken place in San Francisco, where Joshua was there for a seminar. Interested, Joshua curiously found himself wandering to the rally when Magneto and Pyro began to disrupt the rally. When the stage exploded, a car was sent flying in a child's direction. In a spur of moment, he rushed to the child and covered him from impact; this action allowed his dormant mutant gene immediately activated as his body immediately reacted, as the doctor instinctively picked himself and the boy off the ground and leaped over the car. Both escaping with their lives intact.
With the guidance of Emma Frost, Joshua assisted fellow humans and mutants to evacuate the premise as well as stop Purifiers from killing other civilians and mutants. He fought the likes of the Purifiers, U-Mens, and Sentinels. Both sides of the mutant team, the X-Men and the Brotherhoods, were impressed with his skills to quickly adapt and constantly persuade Joshua to try on their side of the team. Before he could decide however, Joshua was severely injured by a secret ambush made by Luis Reyes.
It was revealed that the MRD were the puppet master of the whole thing. From the uncanny alliance with the Purifiers and the U-Mens, as well as secretly implementing mental control over all three groups under his control. His goal was to bring Bastion back to the world, in order to bring 'peace' to both community. However what Reyes didn't calculate was that Bastion only wanted to destroy the whole mutant community. With the help of both the X-Men and the Brotherhood, Joshua, in an X-Men uniform, as well as the many mutants in San Francisco defeated Reyes/Bastion and stopped them from destroying the rest of the mutants in San Francisco.
But Bastion had one more trick up his sleeves. Using both the genetic genes of Pixie and Magik, he banished Joshua into a portal.
Extra: Joshua normally wears various types of t-shirts or v-necks, and dark jeans. He normally walks around bear foot, or with sandals. If it's for his clinic hour or going out with friends, he'll come with nice dark lace-up shoes. Uniform wise, Dr Jones is a lot more...lax looking than most super heroes would look at. One is that he's shirtless, and only wears a brown-leather complex jacket, and a pair of black work jeans that is buckled with a black belt.
Weapons:Joshua has two different weapon, but three in total. One of which are two sets of vibranium-titanium escrima sticks, the same material made from Captain America's shield. The second is a bo-staff that can be extended from three feet to six feet. It is made out of Vibranium and Adamantium the same material use to coat Bullseye's spinal structure.
