Grey Wolf

**Jackson Greene**, also known by his superhero name "**Grey Wolf**," is the most brutal superhero on his team, Strike Back. He is one of the oldest members second only to Patriot Man.

## Origin

In the heart of a frigid northern Wisconsin winter, Jackson Greene came into the world, born in the midst of the woods' unforgiving cold. His arrival was marked by a wild entrance, clawing his way into existence, revealing an unusual shock of grey hair and a primal, animalistic demeanor. The enigmatic circumstances of his birth left his father unknown, a figure obscured by the stark and snowy landscape. As Jackson's early years unfolded, a pack of wolves discovered him, thinking he was one of their own. They became the unlikely guardians of this extraordinary child.

Raised amidst the wolves, Jackson's formative years were shaped by the instincts and behaviors of his lupine companions. It didn't take long for him to realize that he possessed remarkable powers—claws, an inherent animalistic behavior, and extraordinary enhanced senses. In the company of the wolves, he forged a unique connection with the natural world.

Driven by a curiosity about the human realm, Jackson embarked on a journey at the tender age of ten, yearning to unravel the mystery of his elusive father. The reunion, however, was not the heartwarming embrace he anticipated. His father, ironically a hunter, exhibited little concern for the son he never knew, delivering Jackson to the care of a Christian orphanage. Struggling to adapt to human customs, Jackson's animalistic anger often surfaced, but the teachings of the orphanage provided him with a foundation for navigating the complexities of human life.

Fortunes changed when Mrs. Greene, the director of the orphanage, adopted Jackson. Under her nurturing care, Jackson began to comprehend the balance between his primal instincts and human societal norms. This period of stability persisted until Mrs. Greene's passing when Jackson was 30. Grieving her loss, he sought solace in the familiar embrace of the wilderness, returning to the pack of wolves that had once been his family.

However, peace in the wilderness was short-lived, shattered by the distant echoes of gunshots. Investigation revealed the lifeless form of a wolf from his pack, a casualty of his own father's hunt. Consumed by rage, Jackson confronted his father in a violent encounter. Launching himself forward with a ferocious determination, Jackson tore into his father's flesh, slashing at his face and body with unrestrained fury. The agonizing cries of pain from his father echoed through the air as Jackson, consumed by an overwhelming rage, dismantled the man before him. In the aftermath of the brutal encounter, Jackson stood, his entire being drenched in the visceral aftermath, an indelible testament to the tumultuous confrontation that had just unfolded. Recognizing the destructive potential of his anger, Jackson decided to sever ties with the woods that had shaped him.

Witnessing the transformative power of individuals with abilities like his own, Jackson adopted the moniker Grey Wolf in homage to his roots. Determined to use his powers for positive change, he sought out the superhero team Strike Back. In joining them, he embarked on a new chapter of his life, transitioning from the wilds of the forest to a broader purpose—one where the primal instincts that once defined him became a force for good in the world.

## Appearance

Jackson Greene, the second eldest member of Strike Back, maintains remarkable fitness for his age, accentuated by his dark grey hair and intense blue eyes. However, his wolf-inspired costume conceals his gaze with a yellowish hue. His beard, a scraggly presence covering his chin and sides of the face, complements the overall rugged appearance. The mask itself is a two-part ensemble; the upper section, a dark grey with twin peaks resembling wolf ears, covers the top of his face, while the remainder extends to the back in a lighter shade.

Inspired by the creature it is named after, the Grey Wolf Costume features a snug suit with heated padding and strategic protective layers. Predominantly light grey, akin to a wolf's fur, the chest displays a design resembling a wolf's face, accentuated by a furry collar wrapping around the neck. Similar patterns adorn the forearms, emphasizing the sharp claws beneath. Darker grey ribs complement the top, and the lower half mirrors the top's color scheme, including dark grey knee pads on light grey legs and wolf paw-shaped feet. The light grey belt, centered with an emblem akin to the chest design, completes the formidable ensemble.
