SUPERBEAST

REAL NAME: Robert "Bob" Hobbes
OTHER ALIASES: None
AGE: Early Forties
OCCUPATION: Criminal
CURRENT STATUS: In Custody
AFFILIATIONS: Heavy Metal, The Company of Wolves

BACKGROUND: Robert’s family suffers from the curse of lycanthropy.  He, like his three brothers, are also mutants.  Robert's mutation concerns his tremendous strength, resilience and size when he becomes a werewolf.  When working alone he never had a problem with police but he always let his temper get in the way, so he joined a team called Heavy Metal and was their muscle for a while.  But conflicts within the group caused him to part ways.  It was at this point that his brother Calvin was also at loose ends as half his team had to retreat North for the summer due to their physical limitations and vulnerability to heat.  The two thought of what a great idea it would be to get the Hobbes brothers together to form a team...

Rob now roams the Brazilian rain forest in his wolf form.

POWERS: As a werewolf Bob has tremendous strength and invulnerability.  Combined with his ability to heal from any injury not resulting from white magic or silver and he is a nigh-unstoppable beast...provided no one hits his glass jaw.  His claws are the most blunt of all his brothers and are the least useful.

Bob also has acute hearing and an excellent sense of smell.

PERSONALITY: Bob and Calvin are the two most vicious members of the Company.  The oldest member of the clan, he and Cal are always fighting over dominance of the team; Bob claims his age makes him the natural leader, while Cal cites his overall success as a criminal.  One day the struggle might turn truly bloody.

<>APPEARANCE: Bob is an attractive man with thick blonde hair and bright blue eyes.  He is not very tall, standing at five foot nine, and his build is more burly than trim.  For some reason women seem more attracted to him than his other brothers.
