Alter Ego: Professor Geoffrey Crawford

Height: ? Weight: ?

Powers: So far it is revealed that Ravage has strength either equal too, or strong as the Hulk's base srength, and has the ability to change his eye color from grayish blue to red. It can be specualted that he also has a healing factor and skin durability rivaling that of the Hulk. All of his powers stem from combining his DNA with the gamma trait acitve in Bruce Banner's DNA.

Summary:

Professor Geoffrey Crawford is a professor at Desert State University, and was once a mentor to Bruce Banner. Sometime between when they last saw each other, Crawford developed a disease which left his legs useless, and was progresivly killing him.

When Bruce came to Crawford, seeking help, Crawford was more then willing, proud that he was still able to work with his condition. Crawford then showed Bruce a teleportation device which Crawford ahd invented. On the spur of the moment he came up with the idea the could use the device to remove the gamma trait from Bruce's DNA, getting this idea from being a fan of Star Trek.Unfortuantly, he also secretly came up with the idea of bonding Banner's gamma trait with his own DNA to cure himself using the device. While Bruce was sleeping, Crawford began the process. Bruce suddenly entered the room at that moment, and realizing what was happening, tried to stop it, even though Crawford honestly stated that they would cure Bruce after the process was complete. Bruce, not wanting the world to suffer from another Hulk, Leader, Abomination, or Harpy, tried to stop the process to no avail, and soon became enraged, becoming the Hulk. Crawford then stepped out, and mercilessly beat on the Hulk for trying to deny him of this power. Becuase of what he was doing to the Hulk, he decided to call himself Ravage. After knocking the Hulk out, Ravage then hinted that this was only the beggining. It seems like the old saying "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Character wise, Ravage seems very much like the maestro: olive colored skin, unbelievable strength, a beard, a temper, and arrogant. Not much else can be said, as Ravage has not yet had any time to develop.
