Access v1.1

By KJM

Source of Character: DC *and* Marvel Universes

Reasons: I wasn’t sure how much Time Travel to give him, since we have yet to see the maximum he can jump in one shot, so I just made it a nice round number that will be subject to change.  The same with Warp, which it looks to me like he does within a single universe, as opposed to Teleportation.  Also, I’m not sure exactly how to simulate the misty thing that makes everybody suddenly remember him and ’that other universe‘ when he shows up, but then just as suddenly forget it all when he leaves.  Maybe it’s just a Handy Plot Device(tm).  Finally, does anyone want to hazard a guess at the Travel Distance between the two dimensions ?

History

Nobody knew until recently that the Marvel and DC Universes are somehow connected to each other through “The Brothers”, two massive all- encompassing cosmic entities who respectively comprise the whole of each universe, and are somehow inextricably linked.  The person least aware of this was Axel Asher, itinerant student and drifter, a native of the Marvel continuum.  When The Brothers suddenly became aware of each other, having forgotten each other’s existence for untold aeons, they began a battle which caused the two universes to slowly merge into one.  This activated the latent powers possessed by Axel, who was an unknowing ’shard‘ ; a living embodiment of a fraction of both Brothers’ powers.

Through the actions of a great many super-heroes from both universes (most notably Batman, Captain America, The Spectre, and the Living Tribunal), the Brothers were made to settle their differences, and the balance between the dimensions was restored.  Axel now acts as a guardian of that balance, monitoring contact and travel between them in order to prevent another merger that might have disastrous consequences.

Description

Access is a fairly ordinary-looking guy of medium build, with a pleasant, square face and sandy-brown hair worn in a brush cut.  His super-hero togs consist of a blue jumpsuit, with heavy gloves and boots and a wide-shouldered vest, all in alternating red-and-blue patterns. The whole thing has a slight “Moebius” look to it.

Personality

Axel is a terribly earnest and sincere fellow, with a good sense of right and wrong.  Although he didn’t ask for his powers and responsibilities, he’s doing his level best to live up to them.  And while he’s not really charismatic per se, he does seem to be awfully good at talking people into doing things for him.

DC Universe History

The same as his Marvel history, which is the same as the history given above, of course. :)
