Lore Check: Vertex

Ahoy there Faithful Followers! I’m so happy you can join me for another peek into the Jefferson Knights roster. Vertex may have the smallest stature, but also has the biggest heart. He’s an intellectual and scientific prodigy who possesses the power to control and alter his size and is proof that big heroes come in small packages. I hope you enjoy Vertex and until next time, make mine Mutants & Masterminds!

VertexVertex

Name: Vaughn Grand

Identity: Secret

Occupation: Student; Junior at Thomas Jefferson High School

Age: 13

Height: 5’6″

Weight: 133 lbs.

Hair: Red

Eyes: Green

Base of Operations: Jefferson Heights, NY

Group Affiliation: Jefferson Knights

Known Abilities:

Vertex possesses great intelligence and the ability to alter his size, growing large and powerful or shrinking down so small, he can venture into the subatomic universe!

Background:

Vaughn has always been an enthusiastic student far more developed intellectually than his peers. He fought hard to remain in high school instead of being shipped off to private institutions. He created a new particle called the Vertex Particle that accidently fused with him, replicating and bonding with his genetic makeup. This allows him to increase his size, becoming powerful and resilient to harm, or shrinking down small enough that he can interact with a subatomic universe!

He has spend a great amount of time as a diminutive hero creating a small but vast headquarters as well and a tiny high tech air vessel to better his abilities to fight for the little guy and protect the common people from greatest threats the world has to offer!

Personality:

Vaughn is often quiet, especially around people he doesn’t know, but tends to speak up, and speak passionately when the subject of science is brought up. After the accident that caused the Vertex Particles to become infused into his atomic structure, he takes very seriously the responsibility that comes with scientific discovery and the powers that have been thrust upon him. In rare moments when alone or surrounded by people he can trust, he allows himself the chance to be a kid, even if it’s a kid with an IQ of a hundred and ninety!

Alex hasn't done anything worthwhile with his life. He's a great disappointment to his family and friends (even his dog looks at him with shame). Despite his many, many failures and general lack of any redeeming qualities, we took pity on him and let him in here at the Gamer Nation (I don't think we'll ever get rid of that lingering smell now). They say every group of "hotties" needs to keep an ugly friend around to make them look better and It seems that keeping this poor wretch around really does the trick!
