Kuiper

====
===Origins===
Born to British scientists who had permanently relocated to Chile for their research, Zack Edgeworth was once a normal part of society, with his hopes and dreams and his failures and shortcomings. 
===Acquiring his powers===
He was a normal human being, but his greed for riches got the best of him. After his parents passed away, he enrolled to be part of the first mission to attempt to mine diamonds and any other rare, specialty gems on an asteroid. However, he got infected by a combination of an alien bacteria as well as the composition of the gems, turning him into something completely different from a human.
Everyone, who was on that mission in outer space had died, except him. He even began growing diamond formations on his body after a while.
====
Kuiper's body is diamond hard, making him a very resilient and self-sufficient target of attack, who can take a lot of punishment without a scratch. His now "natural" diamond-hard body is his equipment.
