"Big" Mike had always idolized superheroes. He wanted to be one from the time he was eleven. His size and strength got him a football scholarship to university of Pittsburgh, and he studied engineering. He was thrilled to get a job at the MCGPP and move to the city of the future. He had been designing a suit of powered armor based on Geothermal principals for almost four years when the second greatest moment of his life happened. He won the Michigan state lotto. 22.5million dollars. Mike was thrilled, he took leave from the plant and bought a house and had an expensive workshop put on the grounds. Once he was established he went back to work for another year to get his investments ready (and have some steady income, he'd blown most of his first year's winnings on the house and workshop). Then he quit and spent his time working on the armor. Recently, he took the Geothermal armor out on its first test run; this was the greatest moment of his life. Mike is a big, easy going man with a ready wit and laugh. He isn't a genius, nor is he a powerhouse, but he is smart, persistant, and has been impressivly fortunate during his life. He now gets to live out his dream and it shows. He is like a kid in a candy store as a superhero, and often announces what he's going to do. It's likely that (unlike Armadillo) he will eventually grow out of this habit. "Check out the Thermoblast, Loser!" The Geothermal Armor is a little crude at the moment, it provides a limited array of weapons and some enhanced strength. He has a radio communication and heat sensors, but not much else by way of communication gear. The lifesupport is also a bit primative and could get him into trouble. Mike's armor is also suceptible to magnetic fields, not common mind you, but when encountered wreak havoc with the armor's structure and functions. A neophyte powered armor hero. Mike is big and burly wiht large hands. He is a rough and tumble type with an easy grin and bright child like eyes. He wears jeans and t-shirts. His armor is grey with a red circle on the chest, inside the circle are rings of gold, and orange. The helmet is slightly cumbersome but its sensors compensate for this.
