Alfonzo Capello

Hoarde, once known as Alfonzo Capello was a janitor working for one of Axxis Corp's many companies n Prism City. Despite being a Janitor Alfonzo held a brilliant mind for science, especially in terms of chemistry and biology. Initially believed to be a normal human it isn't until an attack on the company that led to his untimely death, was he revealed to be an Outlier. Now neither dead nor alive, caught in an eternity of agony he is now only known as Hoarde.

## Personality

Prior to his death, Alfonzo was a humble yet brilliant man. Seemingly lacking any considerable background and support it caused many to look down at him. While working as a Janitor at the company he petitioned to be given an opportunity to at least work as an intern, and had attempted to offer advise to those who were struggling with their own projects, such was his passion for science. Despite being ignored and even having others take his advice and forego acknowledging his contribution, he remained warm and helpful.

After his death when he was revived, he was beside himself. Reasonably panicked and distraught at what he had experienced worst of all was the pain. The constant and growing pain he would come to experience began eating away at his sanity as if the acidic fluids were dissolving who he was. He became violent, wild and unruly, lashing out at anyone and anything. Many times his acts of violence are times when he has blacked out mentally from the pain, his body merely reacting instinctively . At other times, his actions while still violent on the surface are more calculated, acts of controlled chaos. The reasons behind his extreme actions and behaviors even when conscious of his actions, is his desire to die. Alfonzo's new life is one of permanent torture and misery, and so he does what he can to try and force heroes and government agents alike to put a permanent end to him. While power dampeners have proven to have some affect, they are always a temporary measure, and eventually he is restored all the same, always with more pain added to his anguish.

## Powers

* **Zombie Physiology**: Having died, Alfonzo returned to life, with his body caught in a constant state of decay and restoration. Lacking any sort of superhuman durability, he is at most slightly more durable than a normal human, though not by a considerable margin.

* **Superhuman Stamina**: As an undead, Hoarde does not tire, ever. He can forego the need to sleep or rest, moving, walking and operating tirelessly for day, weeks or even months on end.
* **Superhuman Strength**: Because of his undead state, he is able to exert the full strength of his body at all times, strength that has been augmented by his particular variant. This allows him to break through stone or brick walls with relative ease, metal walls demanding more time and strength to be exerted before they too buckle beneath his strength.

* **Acid Spit**: The fluids produced by Hoarde are acidic in nature, his blood, saliva and even tears all dissolving whatever they come in contact with. Unfortunately, Hoarde himself is no exception to this, tears causing the flesh of his face to dissolve, saliva constantly dissolving his tongue and the inside of his mouth while his blood eats away at his innards. It is a painful excruciating existence maintained by his body's constant state of restoration. his is what contributes the most to his zombie-like appearance.

* **Regeneration**: Hoarde's body has one of the strongest healing factors known. No matter what injury or how extreme, his body with restore itself to its previous state. This extreme state of healing is what prevents Hoarde from dying permanently. What is most peculiar about his particular regenerative powers is, while they completely heal any injuries consistently, the pain from the injuries never seem to disappear, forcing him to forever live with the pain of any and every injury he has received.

* **Bio-Fission**: The source of his new identity, Hoarde's zombie-like physiology is not all he was cursed with. His Zombie variant allows him to essentially become his own Zombie Hoard. Hoarde is able to duplicate himself with no known upper limit to how many copies of himself he can make. Each version of himself possesses all of his abilities, and memories. When one takes into account his powerful regeneration, an army of thousands of such an individual becomes frightening.

## Trivia

* He is actually related to James Slen, the two are cousins.
