Beowulf

Beowulf is a hero of Old English epic poetry and, more recently, a Senior Member of The Paragons of Humanity. He is known for his legendary strength and endurance, as well as his bravery and leadership skills.

Character Background
In the late 5th Century, Beowulf became a hero of legend for his conquest against the monster Grendel, reigned as King of the Geats for many years, and was eventually killed in noble battle against a dragon. Centuries later, The Mystic encountered an occult group who had recovered the giant blade of Beowulf and were attempting to use it to bring the hero's soul back from the afterlife and bind it's power to their corrupt golem. The Mystic dispatched the group and was able to interrupt the ritual, but found himself incapable of returning the hero's soul to the Afterlife. As such, the Paragon instead opted to return the warrior king to the mortal plane.

He spent a lot of time confused about the modern world, but has slowly figured out how to exist around technology and automobiles, especially thanks to help from fellow Paragon Technopath. He continues to be a valuable frontline combatant for the Paragons, even if his tactics are very straightforward.

Powers and Abilities

 * Heroic Strength: Although The Mystic, Technopath, and the GSS have all attempted to monitor and identify the source of Beowulf's immense strength, but it has confounded them all. He can break bones with his bare hands and lift almost as much as Captain Titan, apparently through simple genetic faculty. Many have speculated that he is actually an extremely early example of one of the world's first mutants.
 * Enchanted Sword: Said to have been originally crafted for a giant, Beowulf uses this six-foot blade in battle to defeat his enemies. The enchantments on the blade make it virtually indestructible and give it the ability to cut through any material except for the most strongly reinforced materials.
