Character History
For as personable as he is, John Flag seems to go out of his way not to talk about his past. What is known about him is that he is the grandson of World War II super soldier Sgt. Flag, and underwent the same process performed upon his grandfather in order to save his life. This has given John peak, if not slightly above peak, attributes (listed in further detail below), as well as some minor super abilities (also discussed below).
John Flag first appeared in Paragon’s super heroic community in August of 2005, mostly working as a solo operative. After half a year of working lower security level cases, he seemingly vanished until November of 2006, when he re-emerged and formed Hyperion Force.
Personality
Most super patriots seem to hold to an unwritten code of conduct: calm, level-headed, shrewd, possessing immutable nerves of steel in the face of danger, epitomizing the concept of the stoic hero, quietly putting the needs of others before his own. Well, John Flag holds to some of those ideals, and indirectly embodies most of those values after some fashion. To the casual observer, Flag seems to be more of a reckless frat boy, playing at being a super hero, spewing off glib, if not random remarks to team mates during combat, with the occasional nugget of insight surfacing now and then.
More to come...
Powers
Adaptive Reflexes
- Flag tends to pick up on physicals skills easily, or adapt techniques to his own style. Case in point: having recently fought with several speed based fighters, he's modified his own style to where he attacks more rapidly as well.
Eidetic Memory
- While not true photographic memory, Flag has the ability to recall information and bits of conversation with startling clarity.
Enhanced Physical Prowess
Heightened Senses
Abilities
Martial Arts: Flag practices an eclectic but highly functional style of close combat fighting, which if he is to be believed, is based in boxing but has come to include elements of military basic, gongfu, Muay Thai (Thai kickboxing), tai chi chuan, and West Coast swing dancing.
Pilot: On one occasion Flag demonstrated an ability to pilot an Arachnos flyer, giving some merit to the fact he may be able to operate prop engine, rotary wing, jet, and VTOL aircraft. Either that or he was really really lucky.
