Charlton City Heroes; Quill

 Adapted From- Jab's Quill; Echos of the Multiverse; Maxwell Jordan- Marvel Database


This submission is derived from my home game. One of my players said simply I want Porcupine powers. Quill, Maxwell Jordan, was the closest analog i could think of. This character would be underpowered for our power level, so I borrowed a few traits from Wolverine to round out his animalistic characteristics. The Populace of Earth L26 are unaware of the existence of superpowered individuals nor is there a general awareness of mutants. The precise nature of Quill’s condition is unknown.

Quill was found in a national park as a child. He had no hair until around he was 11. At 14, Sharp quills began to grow from what would have otherwise been his hair follicles. He was adopted into a loving family; he grew into an optimistic outlook on life and a general respect for established institutions and the rule of law. He believes it's the responsibility of the strong to protect the weak. He wanted to join the military, but his condition prevented him from enlisting. The covert agency DOMAIN was aware of Quill’s efforts and recruited him onto the D-List
