Lone Hero, always more of a hindrance than a help
Firedog has metallic-colored skin, and flames lick his head where a normal men would have hair and a beard. With eyes that glow and can change to red when threatened or angry, this hideous "glow-in-dark" villain loves radioactivity. Other characters must wear protective suits if they are going to spend a lot of time around him. Some say his power is running into stuff with his head.

Mini Biography:
Since an early age Fred has been afflicted with CIPA (which stands for congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis) have a congenital disorder that means he simply does not feel pain, hot or cold. He also does not sweat, meaning that he can easily overheat without even being aware of the temperature. He would often injure himself without even knowing it. Most born with this condition are unlikely to survive beyond 25, mainly due to complications caused by overheating. It prevents the development of cells which carry the electrical signals for pain, heat and cold to the brain. However pleasure is mainly derived from the body releasing dopamine, not from the nerves. For instance, when someone he has strong feelings for touches his arm, its not the touching that makes him feel good, its the fact that its someone special, his body releases dopamine as a way trying to keep him calm.
Williams syndrome is a genetic condition that is present at birth and can affect anyone. It is characterized by medical problems, including cardiovascular disease, developmental delays, and learning disabilities. These occur side by side with striking verbal abilities, highly social personalities and an affinity for music. Those with Williams syndrome tend to be social, friendly and endearing. As they grow, they struggle with things like spatial relations, numbers, and abstract reasoning, which can make daily tasks a challenge.
As a person he doesn't experience the sensation of fear. Having undergone damage to the amygdala, through head trauma and the rare genetic condition Urbach-Wiethe disease. He has an inability to feel this emotion. Even after being threatened with a real gun attack Fred had no experience of fear sensations.
Fred's personality is like that of a child. He is innocent and mentally handicapped with no ability to understand abstract concepts like death.
- Intelligence: 1, IQ of 75 and Fred not that bright
- Stamina: 7, sleep is optional but he likes it
- Strength: 6, uttermost limit of this range
- Speed: 5, can react to things at one notch higher
- Energy Projection: 6, he can't really control though
- Durability: 7, remove the 'virtually'
- Agility: 5, enough to flail and move in high speed
- Fighting Ability: 2, just like a mixture of those guys in WSHH videos, Adam West Batman and Captain Kirk
Did You Know?: He thinks he is a hero, follows the swimmer's lifestyle
Battle Cry: 'You gon git Nuk-u-lear-ated!"
Character Logo:
An explosion at the Expendaville docks dispersed the gas. This event and the mass mutations that resulted are referred to as the "Crystal Fog".
His arrival is welcomed by a large earthquake. His primary power is "Atomic Son". He can manipulate his energy in various forms: Lightning, explosions, radiation and force/fire. 50 meters around him is a death zone. He can also unleash energy in the forms of powerful energy blasts which equal the power of a small nuclear weapon. Prior to Terrigenesis He's only got four fingers on each hand. | Fredric Geiers His special gimmick is incinerating people and then collecting their skulls - Fred is granted the ability to float and the speed to move around efficiently. Through the use of Jet Propulsion (emission of plasma). Firedog can levitate himself by the uni-directional release of the by-products of his body's quasi-nuclear interactions through his skin. This process resemble a noise-less nuclear-powered jet engine. Firedog can also use his quasi-nuclear energies to enhance the speed of any of his physical actions, giving him a practical reaction time a hundredfold faster than human. His flight speed is sufficient for interstellar travel, though most starships of his time would be faster.
- Fred will live for millions of years. He won't die under the influence of time, because the body is always about the same age.
- Fred's not going to kill himself by crashing into the nearest wall at super speed, he's indestructible, essentially turned his body into a missile to destroy everything in his path. Honestly others would break their extremities if they tried to strike Firedog. It would be like punching a 3 year old punching a tank, it wouldn't even make Firedog wince. Fred displayed an immunity to conventional weaponry, virtually impervious to everything the US Army threw at him. He has demonstrated the ability to survive complete submersion in magma for an extended period of time. He has even survived being in ground zero of asteroid impacts. When not attacking, Fred is completely invulnerable to damage. His bones appeared to be composed of some sort of unbreakable, crystalline substance, and his every cell seemed to be capable of harmlessly dispersing incredible amounts of energy
- Everything seems fragile to Fred since the scale of his strength has expanded a thousandfold. He's not careful when shaking someone's hand so it ends up breaking their bones and crushing those he hugs. Using a fork to pick up a piece of broccoli from a Styrofoam plate without driving the fork through the plate is as difficult as brain surgery. Fred has displayed varied levels of physical strength. He has been depicted lifting and throwing others in excess of his own weight, and inwas even able to throw them clear over the horizon.
- Fred weighs 5,400 pounds when he is 6 feet tall. When walking through the park he can sink into the ground.'Nuclear fusion' requires heat, similar to the natural occurrence of this process is in stars. For him to utilise fusion in a short amount of time, the temperature of his immediate area will be hotter than the Sun. Bystanders will be burned to a crisp. Applications include:
- Ignition / heating / melting of different substances.
- Increased ambient temperature or, alternatively, the extraction of heat from the substances.
- Absorption of attacks based on the element of fire and resistance to high temperatures.
- The use of fire to enhance the body covering of flame.
- Flying with fire.
- Create a heat shield providing him with Incredible protection against physical attacks. Any physical object of less than Incredible material would melt in contact with the shield
- Rapid "nuclear fission" will often result in many radioactive particles. Fred would become a walking, talking nuclear power plant, ultimately harming every person he tries to save.
He either brings out heat of the Sun or a 'leaking' nuclear plant. Fred G. becomes hotter as he grows angrier leaving huge amounts of residual radiation after a confrontation. The greater his rage, the greater his power! Burn his enemies! Woo the ladies! Intelligence thus often reduced to the level of animal instincts, and is in this state, begins with increased aggression attack indiscriminately, therefore, may be a threat for both enemies and allies for. Often accompanied by a sharp increase in offensive abilities at the expense of defense. Fred's powers are tied to his emotional states, and generally can only be triggered when a specific emotion is focused on. He can achieve enough brightness to light a room or to rival the sun (as seen from Earth). Radiation Cooking is a heating process that does not require physical contact between the heat source and the food being cooked; instead, radiant heat is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles from a hot object, such as the heating element of a broiler or toaster, to food. This transmission does not need the help of a medium like water or air. His 'nuclear fission' is known to have extremely deleterious effects on others. Exposure causes dizziness and weakness, muscle and joint pain, but passes quickly when exposure ends. Extended exposure can cause death. While in itself it cannot kill superhumans, it can render them susceptible to other forms of injury. Presumably its presence would weaken them enough so that the bullet could penetrate their bodies. In addition to his deadly radiation, Fred can fire flesh burning radioactive waves from his body, capable of inflicting painful radioactive burns to any other creature he strikes. - Explosive aura - the flow of energy surrounding Fredric has the properties of the actual energy attack. He can release it explosively around him, bowling over even superhumanly strong opponent Also here include elemental aura, which is difficult to attribute to the auras disaster. Applications Include:
- Destruction of objects around
- Repulsion of enemies and their attacks
- Elemental effects on the environment (burning, radiation, etc.)
- Discharges - attack power in melee, like the electric shock, or hit by melee attacks, supplemented by energy charge. His special one is called 'Firebreak'
- Lightning - attack energy, like a thunderbolt, or lightning is actually. These are extremely powerful, covering an opponent with explosions and blasting through armor. His nuclear bolts can melt metallic compounds and break or restructure molecular bonds. They also generate an electromagnetic field capable of disrupting electronic machinery. These can range from being weak to extremely powerful, enough to destroy entire buildings in one blast. Waiting around for ideal weather conditions was tricky enough as it was without trying to create atomic thunderstorms.
- Rays - attack with energy in the form of rays, like a laser. If an object is partially hit, the golden light will attach to the rim of what was hit and not hit and finish the job.
- Flow and direction bombings - Attack of energy in the form of a broad stream, like a powerful jet of water or the blasting direction. Firedog's signature weapon is his distinctive atomic breath.
- Clots and balls - attack power in the form of bits spherical shape, often complemented by an explosive effect
- Clusters - multiple attacks at the same time with energy.
- Slashes / arc / cutters - Attack of energy in the form of curved lines, often started by the blades.
- Waves - attack power in the form of broad charges that may resemble slashes, but much more volume.
- Vortices - Attack of the rotating energy flows.
- New and omnidirectional bombings - Attack of energy in all directions simultaneously, for example in the form of spherical explosions or circular waves.
- Manipulation of explosions - the ability to create, and in some cases and control explosions.
Energies he emits may be used for a variety of effects, with the most blatant being projected blasts of radiation energy, or heat, the latter of which he also uses as a touch attack.Other effects include: - emitting an electromagnetic pulse, damaging nearby electronics
- emitting energies which can daze and nauseate targets
- create hypnotic patterns which allow him to control others into obeying his commands
- giving a target radiation poisoning , which can be contagious, targeted at a particular genetic type of target, and time delayed for up to a few weeks
- produce low-level radiations which interfere with surveillance equipment (without as permanent an effect as an EMP would have)
- and he can produce waves of radiation which protect him from damage

In fights he will generally just wing haymakers and hope it lands. The most successful "technique" he's used is grabbing somebody's shirt with his weak hand as he throws ridiculously hard and fast haymaker/hooks with his dominant hand. His eyes have developed x-ray vision. He also has superhuman sight, able to view nuclear structure. Fred is highly radioactive and can burn, poison, and even dissolve those that venture too close to it. Likewise, Firedog can also absorb radiation and radioactive material to grow in size. When draining a nuclear reactor, Firedog was turning the reaction mass into inert matter. | Streetfighting: This is for people who likes to punch a lot. It may look weak at first but it can help wear his opponents upper body. Obviously a hard punch and heavy grapple punch is unique to a KO. He's just a straight up striker. Using little grappling and will punch and hit until the foe is down and out. He goes about conflict as if it's a street fight; he doesn't give his opponents time to rest. (He would sit on a downed opponent and fire off jabs at the head.) Offense - Pushing Attack – a single or two handed push to the chest often followed by a punch to the head. Two handed push followed by any of the below.
- Haymaker Attack – a swinging punch to the head. Usually a right haymaker instinctively employed by untrained individuals. The big right or left hand is really old. But for some reason, that doesn't stop people using it as an attack. Right "over the top" punch thrown from left-lead posture.
- The Windmill - The windmill is either fast left and right strikes or big left and right hands. Its like a double version of the haymaker
- Hair Pull
- Football Tackle - The football tackle is pretty much asking to hurt. But still its used in almost every fight. Its not complicated. Running torso tackle.
- Wrist/Arm Grabs
- Single Grab Attack – a one handed front clothing grab. Often the aggressor will use a left hand to grab and a right to punch. Left lapel grab, right cross.
- Two Hand Grab Attack – a two handed shoulder. or front clothing grab pulling you into a head butt. Running Double lapel grab to break balance followed by right cross.
- Front Bear Hug/Rear (Objective is to pick up and carry off) Bear Hug
- Knee Attack – a two handed shoulder of front clothing grab followed by a knee to the groin. Double lapel grab followed by head butt or groin knee.
- Kicking Attack – a lashing kick to the groin or lower legs.
- Head Lock Attack – a grappling style head lock (Front Headlock). Side Headlock and Punch.
- Rear Strangle Hold.
- In Mount (straddling the chest), Victim’s Hands Pinned To Ground.
- Ground and Pound from the Mount Position.
- Choke From Guard Position ( in between legs, on the ground).
- First In-First Out (attacks when victim is first going in or first coming out of a car, garage, house, etc.).
- Sucker Punch - a cheap shot. example, "hey look at that big spider on your shoulder" and when he looks you clock him. There is no defense against a properly executed sucker punch.
Defense - Speed - He would avoid getting into the pace of a smaller faster opponent (if he can). When facing a quicker person he woud to things that limit mobility and free space.
- Submission Defense- This is when being strong can save his life. When everythign else fails, he uses a good old fashioned american aggression and strength to power out of triangles and armbars.
- Control- Fred has plenty of handles and much more space to get underhoooks, overhooks, and quality grips, but when a smaller guy tightens up it can make offense and control very frustrating. This is when it will help him to learn to use and distribute his weight properly in the absence good grips
Fredric has a trained athlete’s physique, but combat skills are negligible, as he has not had real cause to develop them since being granted his powers. He has faced few foes with powers equal to his own, and so has been able to rely totally on his special abilities. He rarely evades, relying on his virtual invulnerability to protect him from meaningful harm. Manipulation chains - different skills and abilities, allowing control chains and chain-like objects of those or other substances. Mainly used binding capabilities chains and chain weapon, but there may be more exotic forms of application. - Creating links
- Motion control links
- Squeezing and tearing objects by chains
- The formation of different structures of the chains
- Binding and blocking the movement of objects
- Chain manipulation tools
- Mace
- Hooks
- Pique
- Handcuffs and shackles
Dog Collar Fight: - This is where chains are used and are strapped to the necks of both fighters.
Chain Fight: - Same concept as a Dog Collar Fight, except for the fighters are chained by their wrists, not the necks.

Radiation Revival Fred himself, is capable of being revived if introduced to enough radiation. | Firedog Firebrand has an (plasmic) arm cannon (dubbed the "Fire Bolt") that shoots energy out at enemies. And since modifications, he has been able to charge his shot, making it more powerful. And its able to slide. Firedog's inbuilt offensive capabilities include his trademark Plasmic Cannon (one in each arm), smaller plasmic blasters located in his feet, two sets of missile launchers (one in each shoulder) and a couple of missiles in his chest (enough to destroy many many blocks). It has a built in X-ray scanner, a beam weapon that fires out of its palms (It has a laser than can tear through streets, building, and at full charge, near city bust), and sharp swords protruding out from the back of the elbows. It completely conceals the body of the wearer, leaving no point in which a psychic attack may rip someone apart. His armor is outfitted with "neuro conditioning" to protect them against an "psychic virus". The treatment is actually designed to cause hallucinations of disgusting looking abominations. The "abominations" are actually targets and innocent bystanders. Digital vision - Data obtained through technological means of perception are projected directly into the mind (or on a separate display, such as a helmet), using them as a digital table, where he can see a lot of useful information (target property and the environment, the distance to it, costed weaknesses, additional information received from some databases, etc.) The burning railgun slug is a deployment procedure in which Fred (the "burning slug") is ejected from a specially designed "railgun". Fred lands on the target, the placement of which is determined by classical mechanics. A mounted railgun that can fire a projectile over 200 nautical miles with precision. Summoning nuclear holocaust upon enemies with laser precision. Several factors led to the reappearance of mechanized warfare. The first was the development of biphase carbide armor (BPC). Stronger than any steel, it was also so light that even an air-cushion vehicle could carry several centimeters of protection. The equivalent of a megaton of TNT was needed to breach even that much BPC armor -- which meant that, in practice, nothing less than a tactical nuclear device was likely to be effective. Thus, the tank-type suit (equipped with guns, missiles, antipersonnel weapons, and biphase carbide armor.) -- fast, heavily armed and armored, able to break through enemy positions and exploit disorganization -- returned to wide use. In fights his preferred distance is 50 meters. It has machine guns within it |
Radiation effects in the interior of machines are often grouped into three categories: total ionizing dose, displacement damage and single event effects.
- Total ionizing dose effects in electronics are the result of damage that usually builds up over a long period of time in an insulating region of an electronic device. This changes the device properties, which results in performance degradation and eventually can cause the device to fail completely.
- Displacement damage is also a cumulative effect but this occurs in the electronic device’s semiconductor material. These effects also cause the device to deteriorate at first and possibly fail if it is exposed to enough radiation.
Single event effects are caused by the passage of a single particle through a sensitive region in an electronic device. There are many types of single event effects, which can be either non-destructive or destructive to the device. The severity of the effect can be so small that it can go unnoticed. At the other extreme it could cause a system in a machine to shut down.
Space radiation can create other kinds of damage in satellites as well. For example, it can cause electric charge to build up in an insulating material to the point where a discharge can occur that damages something. This discharge is the same type of thing that would happen if you walked across a carpet, touched an object and were shocked by a static discharge.
Nuclear explosions aren't as fun as they look. Those close by (but far enough not to be instantly incinerated) would be hit by shock-waves, burns and eye-damage (possibly blindness). In the long term, they would develop radiation sickness and probably cancer.
Firedog would involuntarily create fear and panic, contaminate property, and require potentially costly cleanup.
Lives in Expendaville.
Aftermath & Involuntary Effect
The mutation based on exposure to his radiation will spread through the body and become active in a matter of days. Even to the point of giving adult-exposure superpowers ( ____ normal person is accidentally exposed to ____ source of radiation and instantly acquires ____ power.). Random mutations constantly occur in the genomes of organisms; these mutations create genetic variation. Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence of a cell's genome and are caused by radiation. While for most of the population, exposure to radiation results in death, there are a few select individuals where exposure can allow the person to develop super-human abilities. A resulting mutation due to the exposure to radiation is determined by psychological as well as physiological causes.
this world, the real world, to him it's like walking through mist, and all the people are like shadows, just shadows in the fog.
Zombies were people who came back to life after dying, no matter what the death. The cause for the zombies comes from 'space' radiation. This radiation mutated the human body after it died and brought it back to life. The radiation affected the recent, unburied dead, and the resulting zombies were invulnerable until someone destroyed their brains or separated their heads from their bodies. They came back to life only minutes after death. Zombies were neither intelligent nor self-aware. They had a very limited use of tools, mostly confined to using blunt objects as cudgels. In Romero’s later work, zombies became somewhat capable of thought, and in some cases self-aware.
- Phenomenon causes re-animation of the brain, in any human that has recently died from any cause. A bite is not necessary for infection.
- Limited to no memory of previous life. Can walk and use hands for (striking or holding). Recognize common objects (doors and houses). Keep the instinct of eating and biting.
- Lack full cognitive function and act on a single motivation- seek and consume living flesh (animals included). Impulses are from former living behaviours.
- Do not have true physiological need for flesh, digestive organs cannot derive sustenance.
- Slow caused by rigor mortis (chemical changes in the muscles after death causing limbs to be stiff and difficult to move or manipulate)
- Grunts, groans, screams
- Dies again by getting brain destroyed
This assumes that reanimation was wielded upon relatively intact human corpses. The less intact a corpse is, the less Health it will have; a skeleton is a form of zombie that is mostly devoid of flesh.
Radioactive waste may have contributed to the development of kaiju—translated as "strange, mysterious beast-animal supernatural giant warrior-monsters". The radiation from nuclear weapons made them aggressive to destroy civilizaton.
Certain fungi have the capacity to use radioactivity as an energy source for making food and spurring their growth. A recipe for fat, healthy fungi and sick, dying people. He would sometime work with mushrooms and learn from their amazing intelligence. Claiming that he may be a descendant of the mushrooms. They told him that networks of mycelium that connect all things fungi predate dinosaurs and may share a common ancestry with humans.
Firestorm - a conflagration which attains such intensity that it creates and sustains its own wind system. It is most commonly a natural phenomenon, created during some of the largest bushfires and wildfires. Firestorms can also be deliberate effects of targeted explosives.
Wildfire - a type of uncontrolled fire in an area of combustible vegetation that occurs in the countryside or a wilderness area. A wildfire differs from other fires by its extensive size, the speed at which it can spread out from its original source, its potential to change direction unexpectedly, and its ability to jump gaps such as roads, rivers and fire breaks.
It goes without saying that Firedog can accomplish some pretty spectacular feats. But according to scientists, the Walking explosion actually achieves the impossible -- by breaking the fundamental physics law of conservation of energy.
Personality
He had the uncanny ability to believe anyone about anything, no matter how stupid it seemed. While this did allow him to trust people implicitly, it did get him in a ton of trouble when people took advantage of him.
He didn't understand laws, especially the ones that govern "right" and "wrong." His parents always seemed to take things that were his, like the money he would get from his paper routes and odd jobs. He figured that was just the way people got money, by taking it, as opposed to working for it. When some childhood friends of his asked him to help them rob someone, he thought of it as a legitimate money making opportunity. When their hideaway was discovered, he was the only one who didn't run.
He had a knack for reading warning signs and doing exactly the opposite of what they said. He would walk against red lights at crosswalks, he would swim alone in riptides and he would run on slippery surfaces, despite all of the signage warning people to proceed with caution. He was a perfectly fine reader, but the doctors found that whenever he got excited, the reading part of his brain more or less shut off. Since they couldn't watch his every second of the day, they hoped it was something he'd grow out of.
Though not an amphibian, Fred has an amphibious lifestyle; he spends half of his life in water and the other on land to either wreak havoc or save the day. Underwater, he feasts on mammalian meat of whales, and schools of fish. Fred lies down to sleep in the same manner as humans. At times he can be found sleeping inside mountains or lakes.
Capable of marching on the sea floor or swimming by plasmic expulsion, Firedog is able to breathe underwater (occasionally hibernating in the ocean depths between events), and being submerged apparently does not impede his atomic rays.
Swimming is such an engaging workout that he can eat things the size of his face when he’s done. He's listed burritos, but pizza is absolutely fine and encouraged.
He engaged opponents in the sea on multiple occasions, fighting either beneath or on the surface of the waves.
Fred knows American Sign Language. He uses it as a way of communication, he learned it from his friend.
Fredric's prodigious strength combined with his lack of intelligence and conscience make him dangerous, and he needs others to keep him out of trouble.
While he acts with great loyalty to his friends, he has no comprehension of the idea of "loyalty." For that reason, he often does not mean to do the things that get him into trouble, and once he does get into trouble, he has no conscience to define his actions in terms of guilt.
How to beat
- Words, negotiation and persuasion. Fred isn't all there in the mental department and he can be easily swayed, he's a good man at heart but he can't seem to grasp many things.
- Killer Frost type powers, not 'ice' since he will turn that into vapor but the kind that uses thermodynamics to absorb heat and turn it into cold. Gadget types can work on this while friends fight him.
- Unlike his body his mind is relatively predictable, this is when his emotions are not 'high' though.
Fredric is vulnerable to other super powered being with strength that is enough to challenge his own, although it may not kill him, it can still affect him.
Firedog’s greater than human physical abilities are not enough to achieve his goals and his less than human social skills make working with others to achieve them difficult.
Monsters are tragic beings they are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself.
