Personality
Powers
The 'Powers' Gravitik wield are the result of his MKII Grav Power suit. Using them to generate gravity fields that hold foes and squeeze them until they pass out. Also allowing him to throw objects and lift foes high into the air and drop them back to earth.
Armor
The Grav MK II power suit began as the MK I, a prototype being developed to help astronauts work easier in space. MK I suits got perfected and where sent to NASA. Unknown to the Garvin Corp., the company that created the suits, one of there employees that worked in its creation took a copy of the planes and began improving the design and created the MK II.
The MK II was comprised of 9 pieces, a Helm, torso, 2 arms, 2 gloves, 2 boots, and the legs joined at the waist. Continually making improvements, he is always trying to make he suit the perfect crime fighting equipment.
recently he has developed a more articulated frame and plating allowing more movement in the torso and legs. enough changes have been made in upgrades that the armor is now the MK III. Better targeting and Faster recharge mean that this version can handle more enemy's and tough opponents.
Torso
In the torso is the Grav generator unit. Capable of making a field strong enough to create mini wormholes, allowing the user to pull objects from other places to him.
Gauntlets
The gloves are emitter gauntlets used to project the gravity field to any point within an 80 foot range, careful alterations can change the range and intensity of the field.
Legs
The legs house small Pocket reactors that power the suit. They are housed in special containers in the upper thighs and allow for controlled release of the radiation, allowing the user to use radiation to his/her advantage.
Upper Arms and Helm
The upper arms house wiring to connect the torso with the gauntlets, and the helm displays Status on suit performance and reactor containment.
Boots
The MK III boots are a new addition, replacing the old MK II boots, made to allow for hovering and flight in conjunction with the grav unit for stabilization.
MKIII Armor
improvements to the MKII such as refining and compacting the graviton generators and emitters, and additions of Flex plating and advanced targeting computers have yielded the MKIII armor.
Weapons
Flight
Realizing that getting to his mission faster may save more lives Gravitik has begun work on rocket boots. The current version is capable of allowing him to hover indefinitely and forward movement is about the same as other heroes with more natural flying abilities. At this time he is modifying the MK III suit to interface better with the boots hopefully allowing him to fly at greater speeds.
Character History
The man that would become Gravitik began life as bright boy in a wealthy family. He attended the finest prep schools and graduated top of his class at MIT. After MIT he got a job working on a new gravity manipulation device for NASA. as work continued at the research lab in Colorado he witnessed a mugging where he could have helped if there weren't so many of them. He began 'field testing' some mobile units, consisting of a grav generator in the torso, a pair of emitter gauntlets, and power packs in the legs, designed as a way to help astronauts maneuver and move objects in space. As the months went by he began to enjoy bringing criminals to justice, after most of Highpoint Center was free of crime and the police could handle things on there own again he decided to go where he was desperately needed.
To Paragon City, RI.
He arrived at Atlas Park and immediately started to go after criminals starting in Atlas Park. One day while checking out things in the Wentworth's auction he met a fellow hero by the name of Mistress Chi. They got to talking about things they had seen and how they got there powers. After about 30 minutes she offered to have him join the Super group she was in, The Seekers. he accepted and was welcomed to their ranks. After making Atlas and Kings Row a little safer he is now working in Steel Canyon to help fight Clockwork, Outcasts and others that would harm the innocent.
