Vengeance (Michael Badilino) + Atomic Skull (Joseph Martin)
Character Name: The Vengeful Skull.
Real Name: Joseph Badilino.
Backstory: Joseph was a student at College the top of his class in mechanical engineering. But that was until the sorceress Morgan le Fey manipulated Wally West (as Speed Demon II) to attack Joseph's father. The trauma drove the man insane, and he murderer his wife, daughter and then committed suicide while Joseph was out getting dinner. Joseph blamed the Speed Demon and took Morgan le Fey's offer to become a similar being to battle him.
Unfortunately the trauma of losing his family, coupled with that of his first transformation caused Joseph to develop Dissociative identity disorder and lead him to take on the guise of the Vengeful Skull who was a hero from an old movie serial that he loved whenever he transforms into his flaming skeleton form.
Today Joseph wonders the highways of America in search of the Speed Demon in the hopes of extracting his vengeance while the Vengeful Skull plays out his fantasies.
Personality: As Joseph Badilino, he is an intelligent, resourceful young adult with a passion for law enforcement and a desire to serve as either a police officer or a District Attorney when he graduates. He has a deep hatred of Speed Demon because of what he did to his father.
The Vengeful Skull on the other hand is a dangerously violent psychopath who believes himself to be the main character from the film serial of the same name. He will protect those he sees as innocent by any means necessary, though his views on the subject of innocence is that of the 1950's ideals. He has a hatred of the Speed Demon, but for a completely different reason, he sees the hero as his archenemy from the movies, Doctor Axis, and to a lesser extent the JLA as their contemporaries from the serial's the League of Evil.
Powers, Skills and Abilities: In human form, Joseph doesn't possess any super-human abilities or powers. But he possesses the knowledge of a second year Law Student student at University. The only exception to his not having any super-human abilities is his ability to transform into the Vengeful Skull at will. However, due to his mental instability his transformation only takes place at night time, whenever he's in the presence of the Speed Demon or during times of great stress.
The Vengeful Skull possesses super-human strength sufficient to lift twenty-five tons and thanks to the mystic energy powering him inhibits his muscles from producing fatigue toxins during physical activities. The Skull is highly resistant to the point of being immune from most types of Earthly physical damage, as the Skulk or beings of his strength have been known to occasionally put a dent in him. However, if he is damaged he can regenerate any and all damage, even to the point of fully regenerating lost limbs.
Further he is able to generate, control, and project the radioactive energy that engulfs him. He can also use it to enhance his already impressive strength to a higher degree or even channel from his body into his weapons like a shotgun, form walls of energy, or even create a complete, working motorcycle out of it. The final weapon in his arsenal is the Penance Stare which causes any individual who stares into his eyes to see and feel every bit of pain they have ever inflicted on anyone in their entire life for all eternity.
Description: Joseph Blaze stands at only 5'10" and weighs in at 180 lbs. He is physically fit, but isn't about to win any competitions for it any time soon. He has light blue eyes and reddish blonde hair. He generally wears hard worn blue jeans, a plain t-shirt, a pair of black leather biker books and a black leather jacket.
The Vengeful Skull on the other hand stands in at 6'0" and weighs 200 lbs. He is usually dressed in whatever clothes Blaze as wearing at the time and has the appearance of skeleton surrounded by purple radioactive fire.
