Antaeus
Context
Antæus is an obscure opponent of Batman & the Outsiders. He was only seen in one 1984 story.
He’s conveniently generic and undetailed, *and* he’s part of a themed team (Argus, Diana, Nox, Proteus, Vulcanus). So having notes for these guys sounds good to us.

Antaeus draws his power from the ground. When he’s in contact with it he’s incredibly fast, nimble and strong.
He’s also about three metres tall and the constant influx of energy keeps erasing his wounds.
History
The New Olympians is a group of mortal supervillains who were given their abilities by the Monitor.
They were assembled by Maxie Zeus to assault the 1984 Olympic Games in L.A., with President Reagan in attendance. Batman intervened and challenged the New Olympians to compete with his Outsiders in a variety of contests.
Antaeus fought a wrestling match against Geo-Force. Geo-Force drawing his powers from earth, he noticed that Antaeus was doing the same, and defeated him by levitating him with his antigrav powers.

Personality
Big, confident brick who speaks like he were some kind of king.
