Bio: Joel Gnollsen's powers are rooted in his parents. When he was in the army, Joel's father volunteered for a genetic experiment that was intended to make him into a supersoldier. The project failed, or at least appeared to. But when Joel was born, he started growing much more quickly than his peers, and when he was tested, it turned out that the engineered genes had only activated after undergoing recombination.
Being a good, obedient boy who idolized his father, Joel excelled at school, and quickly enlisted in the South African National Defense Force. While the quartermasters did grumble at having to customize his equipment, he proved to be an excellent soldier, demonstrating superb discipline, weapon handling, and a talent for leadership, rising quickly in the ranks to the rank of Sergeant, in the special division devoted to advanced military prototypes.
Unfortunately, his popularity drew in some enemies, and his desire to play by the rules caused concern in the corrupt Horn of Africa Industries. They had been routinely diverting their technology into the hands of criminal organizations, and if Joel were the first to find the irregularities, they would lose a lucrative contract, and would face the risk of criminal prosecution, and maybe even bankruptcy. So, they decided to strike first. With the assistance of the infamous pirate fleet known as Shiva's Eye, and in particular a langur monkey known only as Pukau, Horn of Africa Industries successfully produced false documents and witnesses that implicated Joel Gnollsen in selling several military prototypes to known terrorists.
Despite witnesses to his credit, and a vigorous defense, Horn of Africa Industries' hold on the military's officers proved too great. In a military tribunal, Sergeant Joel Gnollsen was declared guilty of theft and petty treason, and dishonorably discharged. Joel was crushed. The army had been his entire adult life. He had no back-up plan. Luckily, some of his superior officers had their suspicions about the prosecution, and they provided him with some of his old gear, including his beloved converted M2A1, and recommended a small band of individuals that he also believed had been framed by Horn of Africa Industries. Shortly, Joel had the beginnings of a mercenary squad, which he named "Soekers van Justisie" (Seekers of Justice). His ranks only swelled as he began his career, soon recruiting squads from Japan, Somalia, Nepal, and Israel.
Personality: Joel is typically a calm individual, who can be quite jolly during down time. He has a particular fondness for smoked eels, Cuban cigars, and chilled Jaegerbond. However, in combat, he is deadly serious, constantly determining the best strategies to accomplish his objective and minimize the risk to himself, his men, and any civilians. He refuses to be employed by human traffickers and drug runners, and also refuses all jobs that would have him transporting materials for nuclear, biological, or chemical weaponry. He also maintains a blacklist entitled "Fok these furs in particular," with Horn of Africa Industries and Shiva's Eye at the top. He is completely heterosexual, but tends not to sleep around, although he has enjoyed a "hero's reward" a few times. He also places a portion of all his earnings into a trust fund for when he eventually does father a child.
