Daniel DeBeers always had the ability to grow. It was a little out of control when he was a child and he had some amazing "Growth spurts" while he grew up. He was always looking for something to believe in. He'd been raised by a parents he considered "wacko hippies" who seemed to have traded their idealism for commercialism and become card carrying "squares" to use their lingo. Dan excelled at basketball but his mutant abilities kept him from enjoying even a highschool career. It also left him pretty despondant and gave him accute distaste for bureaucracy. After school Dan drifeted for a while, he avoided college but was intrigued by the campus life and got a job at one of the food courts. He was on his way to work one afternoon when a man, adorned in a brilliant red and black costume was speaking to the assembled students about his crusade and the purity of conquest. Although there were those who sneered, no one heckled, or interrupted the man. Dan was intrigued by his words. The guy sounded nuts but he also sounded like someone who was going to do something. Dan waited until the crowd had dispursed, a few students were standing by the man, talking. It was obvious they two had heard his message. Dan approached him and they talked for a few minutes then the man gave Dan a card. A few days later he saw the man again. This time he was not wearing his costume, he looked older but wiser with out it. Dan confided his mutant abilities to the man and professed a desire to join his crusade. Delighted, Battlemaster added his first Big Gun, and he dubbed Dan the Seige Tower. Dan is a rough and tumble man. He enjoys using his powers and has found a calling in the Crusade, Battlemaster's plan for the Faction. Dan has little respect for the current systems of government and social movements. He feels there is something missing. Something that Battlemaster can provide. "Shut up." Dan has the power to grow to gigantic size and gains greater than proportional strength. He is very much a brick and has no quams going toe to toe with strongmen in the catagory of Gargantuan and Grond. For the most part he tends to stay at a "managable" size, about as big as he can get so as to get the maximum benefits of his abilities but minimizing the natural defects of becoming a giant. A member of a mid range superteam. Seige Tower is a tough customer. If you want to make him less threatening to your players drop his Growth to 45 pts (lower his other powers proportionally). To make him even tougher drop the End usage on his Strength to half, increase his resistant defenses and add a few CSLs. A ruggedly built strong man with a thick build. Dan has unkempt blonde hair and blue eyes. His costume is gray with a gold tower on his chest (resembles a rook piece). His belt, boots, and gloves are black. He wears a gray face mask that keeps his hair, chin, and mouth revealed.
