Keeper of Infinite Earths - Justice Avengers
Created by Matt Parmenter
Any-thing Man
Alter Ego: none
Occupation: Super Hero
Known Relatives: Mycroft Winslow / Creator
Group Affiliation: The New Justice Avengers
Base of Operations: Chicago
Background/History:
Mycroft was a child progidy as a sculptor, gifted with talent beyond his years,
and, unbeknownst to anyone, he was also a mutant with a telekinetic-based
ability to animate objects. He was born with Multiple Sclerosis and his life
would be short and painful. He created and sculpted a character called Anything
Man who could become anything and wanted to make a movie about him. The Bay area
Make-A-Wish Foundation got some movie people to fulfill his wish and his movie
was made. The premiere was held for him and a number of underprivileged and
handicapped children and his sculpture was put on display in the lobby. During
the screening, an earthquake struck causing the theatre to crash down around
them. A girder beam crashed down on top of Mycroft and only the steel frame of
his wheelchair kept him from being instantly crushed to death. Seeing the other
children in danger, he wished with all his might that Anything Man was real and
could come to their rescue and his mutant power flared for the first time. His
sculpture began to move and, using the abilities of the character in the movie,
held the theatre together long enough for the children to be saved. Anything Man
went back to get Mycroft and found the heroic child dead. Somehow, he was the
living embodiment of the character with the memories and morality of the child’s
super-heroic creation. He traveled around doing good deeds and trying to find a
place in the world. He found himself in Boston and joined the Masters fighting
evil in honor of the brave child who had created him. After almost fifteen
years, the Masters split up and went their separate ways. Anything Man returned
to California until Star contacted him and asked him to join the new Justice
Avengers.
Personality/Motivation:
He is the personification of a child’s ideal of a super-hero, fearless,
selfless, and able to make fun of any villain before, during, and after the
fight.
