Muvok

== Origins ==
Malcolm Harvest was born on December 1st, 1988 in Gotham City. His family was in the lower levels of society, his (adoptive) father and mother barely able to bring home enough money to support their family and their gambling addictions, borrowing even more money to be able to purchase drugs to continue their substance abuse.
Malcolm was frequently out on the streets begging for scraps or scavenging to help provide for his younger sister, Margaret. The two grew up without inspiring parental figures and despite their relationship with their parents being cordial in their interactions, Malcolm and his sister grew to resent their inability to provide for the family as they grew older, eventually prompting the two to run away and find a life outside of Gotham.
As the two were making their way out of town, their parents caught onto their idea to escape and sought out the services of Falcone, a mob boss who they had borrowed money from. Seeing this as an opportunity to indebt the pair even further, Falcone sent his muscle to help retrieve Malcolm and Margaret. 
With a vast network of information at their disposal, Falcone's thugs quickly discovered Malcolm and Margaret, forcing them into an alleyway. One of the thugs then proceeded to attempt to torture both Malcolm and Margaret, prompting Malcolm to resist by striking out with as much force as he could muster. Something in him seemed to activate as he perceived the world in slower motion, felt his strength increase exponentially as he punched a hole straight through the thug's face. The others scattered, allowing Margaret and Malcolm to leave Gotham City unmolested.
The two stole a car, hotwired it, and drove as far as possible with cash from the dead thug on hand. They eventually found their way in New York City, where the two found themselves working for a mob boss against their will as hired muscle, the only reason they even complied being that Margaret was threatened with death. Malcolm sought to discover the source of his newfound enhanced physicals while serving as a bouncer, doing his best to hide his enhanced strength. As far as anybody knew back then, he was just an exceptionally athletic young man.
Soon enough, Margaret and Malcolm earned enough cash, the two being infamous for their ability to persuade or intimidate people into backing down, to buy their way out of New York City and to find a new life. Once again, their attempts to escape were almost foiled by their mob boss but this time, something sparked within Margaret. Not only could she read the minds of the thugs surrounding them, she could move their bodies with her mind. After flinging the thugs away with telekinesis, the two sought refuge in Canada, hiding out for a year.
The siblings survived in the wilderness of Canada, only venturing out to urban areas for supplies. They took refuge in a cave, making that their home for the majority of the year, utilizing their abilities to create something accomodating. Malcolm earned somewhat of an education in carpentry, allowing himself to be taught by one of the locals of a rural town nearby. Margaret studied psychology extensively and the two were relatively happy, their year in Canada being an uneventful one.
Then a ship crashed down from the sky and the two moved in to investigate, the pair discovering a dying Hlician. They tended to his wounds as best as they could but in the midst of their attempts to recover him, a headache assailed Malcolm and what appeared to be a clone of the Hlician, wounds included, appeared in front of the trio. The Hlician shortly thereafter died but the undead version only stared at Malcolm expectantly. When Malcolm asked it what it was, it explained that it was an extension of his power, a summoned undead version of the Hlician before them. When Malcolm asked it to dissipate, it dissipated. Another Hlician, hidden in the ship but spectating the exchange, stepped out and proclaimed Malcolm to be a "Muvok", a word in the Hlician language for "necromantic". It thanked both the siblings for their attempts to save his friend and it explained the ability Malcolm seemed to possess, the ability a common one in metahlicians. 
The Hlician offered them training as a reward for their attempts to save his friend's life and the two agreed, the Hlician introducing itself as Kalem, a popular name in Hlician society due to one of their hero-gods possessing that name. The two were trained in Hlician martial arts for the next year or so before Kalem's ship finished self-repairing, Kalem having buried it in the ground far from its crash site with his supernatural strength to hide it from prying eyes.
When Malcolm and Margaret finished their training, Kalem stated to them; "You two, if born in Hlicia with the mentality you possess now, would make some of the finest cadets. Even our emperor would be proud to call you one of our own". Kalem departed from them, proud of their training and reminding them of a value he always instilled in them; to be proud in their prowess and their abilities and to make the most of their lives. Malcolm, eager for more, ventured out into the world with his newfound abilities alongside Margaret, the two training relentlessly across the globe, often becoming stowaways on various transport vehicles to other nations.
During this time, Margaret began building up businesses from the ground up, her business management skills competent enough to enable her to head several companies, his telepathic powers very useful in bargaining and negotiating as she navigated to the top.
After Superman introduced himself to the world and after seeing the world's reaction to him, Malcolm and Margaret eventually returned to the United States of America, viewing the major cities as bastions for the wealthy elite that were corrupt. Being victims of poverty, they naturally held views that leaned towards socialism, wanting to put the power back into the hands of the people who worked day in and day out to keep the clock running.
During this time, Malcom and Margaret inherited money from their biological parents, who were billionaires and owners of several international corporations, the parents seeking to make amends.
Malcolm and Margaret stayed clear of Gotham City for a while, building up a following with fellow Metahumans and normal people of the working class along the East Coast. Over the years and through their training with Kalem, the pair had developed an unbreakable bond, sharing their goals of tearing down the corrupt and distributing the wealth of the elite to the poor, perfectly willing to even create a new nation for such an event.
The two decided to set up a legitimate front for the ordeal, Margaret heading the nonprofit organization that caters to the impoverished while still maintaining ties to the rising organization that seeks to disenfranchise the so-called "elite oppressors". 
Malcolm and Margaret then turned to Gotham City to rid it of its criminal organization after learning their parents were murdered. The two immediately assumed it was Falcone's doing and move in to seek revenge for what his thugs attempted to do to the both of them. Malcolm adopted the codename "Muvok", Hlician for "the necromantic", given the nature of his abilities. Margaret has yet to adopt an alias but one given to her by her followers and rivals is "Migraine", given her telepathic abilities.
At some point in time, Malcom and Margaret became bodyguards of a family worth several billion dollars. They became entrusted within their circle, and eventually became family themselves, enough to the point that when the family died, Margaret and Malcolm inherited their money, adding to their already substantial wealth.
== Powers and Abilities ==
* Metahuman Physiology: Malcolm possesses several metahuman genes that give him a variety of abilities, such as:
**Enhanced Strength: Malcolm can lift up to 15 tons when pressed to his limit and punch through the skulls of normal men.
** Enhanced Speed: Malcolm can perceive objects in slower motion than most, capable of reacting to supersonic projectiles with relative ease.
** Enhanced Durability: Malcolm's skin is incredibly durable. He's capable of tanking forces that are significantly stronger than he and he's capable of tanking low-grade explosives. Bullets can get lodged in the outer layer of his skin but usually are capable of penetrating, just not very deep into his body.
** Enhanced Endurance: Malcolm can exert himself at full strength for days before he begins to slow down and is capable of withstanding pains that would put normal men into shock or just outright kill them.
* Martial Arts: Malcolm has been trained in various fighting forms by Kalem and world-class martial artists across the world. He's mastered every single fighting form presented to him, mastering over 120 in total, giving him a variety of moves to utilize when in combat.
* Master of Melee Weapons: Kalem instructed Malcolm in Vavien, a Hlician fighting style that is most effective with melee weapons. When utilized, it gives the practitioner precognition by the fact that it is a spiritual and telepathic technique available to all who learn it. The practitioner has to have extensive knowledge of many melee weapons to be effective in it and Malcolm has mastered the martial art, having extensive training with most melee weapons known to man.
* Multilingual: Malcolm speaks English, Arabic, Russian, Greek, French, Hlician, Spanish, and many other alien languages fluently.
* Magical Knowledge: Malcolm has acquired knowledge of the mystical arts during his travels and is even capable of applying said knowledge with the use of his staff gifted to him by Kalem as a way of dispelling his energy.
* Energy Manipulation: Malcolm can project blasts of energy with the help of his staff. Without it, his control over his own energy is limited and his blasts more often than not are not much more powerful than that of a fragmentation grenade if not dispelled through his staff.
* Necromancy: Malcolm can summon the dead if he's by their gravesite or death place, capable of bending any dead being to his will and using them to fight for him for an indefinite amount of time. However, he must actively voice his commands to them and be in their presence for them to do his bidding.
* Reality Warping: Malcolm has the ability to summon an undead version of his opponent who possesses the powers and abilities of the said opponent but not necessarily the knowledge. Malcolm must take control of the undead clone personally, leaving him vulnerable to attack and he must maintain a line of sight of the original clone or else after ten seconds, the clone dissipates.
* Magical Manipulation: Malcolm's metagene enables him to be naturally gifted at magic, allowing him to cast lower-tier spells without much training.
* Indomitable Will
* Telepathic Resistance: Margaret actively shields Malcolm's mind with her telepathic abilities.
* Intimidation
* Mechanical Engineering: Due to spending time with Kalem and witnessing Kalem work on his ship before burying it, Malcolm has extensive knowledge on vehicles that specialize in aviation and has extensive knowledge in firearms, even Hlician ones and is capable of maintaining them with ease.
* Marksmanship: Malcolm is an exceptional marksman and is trained with all types of firearms on Earth and is advanced with some alien weaponry.
* Carpentry
* Tactical Analysis
* Gadgetry
* Military Training: Kalem had Malcolm undergo rigorous training that all Hlician cadets go through during their military training, familiarizing Malcolm with the art of warfare.
== Paraphernalia ==
* Hlician Equipment: Kalem left the siblings with Hlician military-grade equipment, ranging from laser-based firearms to hand-held devices capable of scanning people down to their genetic coding and grenades that can level entire buildings in one blast. He also left behind melee weapons that can cleave through titanium.
* Staff of the Akel Vaviel: Kalem left Malcolm with a staff that can discharge the energy Malcolm has contained within him. It enables him to control the temperatures of his blasts, which can be a blast as hot as 5000 degrees Fahrenheit or something of a cryo blast that's -100 degrees Celsius. It also can regulate how wide the blasts are, the smallest beam capable of being the width of a pencil while the largest the width of a bus.
== Weaknesses ==
Malcolm must be stationary when he assumes control over the undead clone of whatever opponent he's facing, leaving him vulnerable to attack. He must also maintain a line of sight, either with his eyes or the undead clone's eyes on his opponent for ten seconds before it dissipates. It takes ten more seconds for him to use his ability again when that happens.
== Personality ==
Malcolm is a man who is fiercely loyal to his sister. Anybody he believes has done him wrong deserves nothing less than humiliation. Anybody who he believes has harmed his sister deserves nothing less than death. He values life for the most part and deeply mistrusts the wealthy elite of America, believing the overwhelming majority of them to be corrupt. He's often abrasive when it comes to the problems of others who don't appear to be trying to lift themselves out of their unfortunate predicament. He's often indifferent or downright contemptuous to those who don't interest him or are willing to join forces with him to rid the world of the corrupt elites. He isn't a brute however; he can be incredibly patient when necessary and is rarely impulsive, doing his best to make calculated decisions. People who he has a personal dislike for however drive him to make sometimes rash decisions, such as Falcone.
Malcolm is very assertive when it comes to everyone except those he respects, the most notable person he respects being his sister, perhaps the only person he'd ever take orders from. Malcolm is cynical, constantly expecting the worst from people, sometimes even his own followers.
