## DragonMan

DragonMan is the hero of New York City and has been titled the 'King of the Heroes' due to his amazing deeds and accomplishments of saving people. DragonMan is the first and premiere hero of Origin Comics. After being exposed to a chemical known as 'Transmutagen' as a child he gained superhuman powers and had the ability to transform into a humanoid reptile with many dragon-like features. As a child a gang of thieves broke into Will's house and murdered his parents right in front of him. From that day on, Will was traumatized and swore he would never let anything like that happen again. Will soon went off to train around the world and gain better control over his powers to become the perfect hero. Inheriting his parents billion dollar company Knight.Corp, he started using his finances to become a symbol of bravery and courage, and battled all evil-doers who dare to threaten his home city of New York or even the world. Will would also later become the leader of a group of the worlds greatest superheroes known as the Sentinels.

## Biography

Charles and Betty Knight were both CEO’s of their own company known as Knight.Corp. Knight.Corp was known to indulge itself in many different forms of business, including biological manipulation and bio-chemical enhancements. Among all of their projects, the couple's main project was the Transmutagen Project. Transmutagen is a chemical that whenever exposed to a living organism can drastically mutate them into more savage and enhanced forms. However, results are still unpredictable. One day, Charles and Betty’s son Will decided to sneak into one of Knight.Corps labs out of curiosity to find out what his parents were working on. Charles later caught and chastised his son for his actions, only for an accident to occur and caused Will to get exposed to a gas cloud of Transmutagen. After Will was rescued, doctors and other experts ran tests and established that Will was perfectly fine and seemingly unaffected by the chemical. Years later at age of 12, Will would wake up in the middle of the night after hearing some banging. After he explored the house, he found out that a group of burglars had managed to break in and capture his parents and his family’s butler Elise Defort. Charles attempted to fight back, only for one of the burglars to shoot him along with Betty. That triggered something inside Will as he blacked out and he used his powers for the first time. When he snapped back to normal, all the burglars were dead and his hands were covered in blood. The only person Will had left with his family’s butler and second mother figure, Elise who swore to never let anything happen to him. Will was never the same again after that as he started to develop a deep seeded hatred of crime. Will decided he would make it his goal to never let another child go through the same kind of loss and trauma that he experienced at such a young age. At 14, Will’s powers would properly manifest as Will would try and learn how to control them. Will knew he needed more than just a few superpowers in order to become a true warrior. At the age of 17, Will excelled through High School before going to Harvard and graduating with flying colors before starting his journey. Will tracked down an ancient secret organization that was his only hope for becoming a weapon against evil, the Order of the Knights. The Order was an organization that protected the world in secrecy, Will was accepted into the organization. But first, Will had to experience three years of war without using his powers in order to become fully rounded and become a true modern day knight. Will took up several identities in several countries across the world that were either in civil war or war with a neighboring country. Will would join up with several military factions and rebel groups to experience every perspective. Will made and lost many friends, saw the horrors of war, the strength of unity, and much more. Three years later, Will would return to the Order, fully completing his long test and go through rigorous mental and physical training. Will learned practically every martial art under the sun and went through mental and endurance training that would drive most men insane. After five more years of training, Will would return to the U.S. and become the new and greatest hero of New York City, DragonMan.

## Appearance

In his regular human form, Will Knight is a fit yet normal looking human being. Will is surprisingly bulky and very well built with a gruff exterior. Will often wears a black business suit and a red tie, and whenever he's outside or stressed he usually smokes Cuban cigars. Will also has piercing green eyes and stands around 5'11.

In his dragon form, Will is usually always covered up in his iconic dragon armor that covers most of his body. DragonMan wears silver armor with only his upper arms and chest being adorn in red. He wears a red dragon symbol on his chest. At the end of each finger tip is a razor sharp claw with his helmet being designed with backwards facing horns to better emulate a dragon. DragonMan's tail is usually the same size as his height and his scaly wings can span 8 feet long. His eyes are slit like that of a snake or another reptile in the color orange. Without the armor DragonMan appears completely reptilian with only small holes in his face for nostrils and ears as he also possesses a large mouth with hundreds of elongated razor sharp teeth. At his full height, DragonMan stands 7 feet tall.

## Personality

DragonMan is bold, stern, truthful, noble, strong-willed, brave, intelligent, and respectful. In his alter ego, Will didn't only train his body to become a great hero and protector, but also his mind. He is very mature, strong-minded, and level-headed, often keeping very good control over his emotions and does everything in his power to not let emotion cloud his judgement. With DragonMan's intelligent, he also knows how to handle different kind of situations, which ones require force and which ones require talking. DragonMan does everything he can to protect others and will do sacrifice himself without a seconds thought to protect someone in trouble. With DragonMan's warrior like mind, he can come off as a bit cold-hearted and ferocious in battle, but often fights fair. Such as dropping his sword if his opponent doesn't have one.

DragonMan has the firm belief that everyone deserves to be free and not live under fear of another party, thus he often does everything in his power, even when the situation is grim to stay strong and brave. But always remember that he must never loose his affection and compassion in the process, otherwise he will just be another solider.

As Will Knight, he always keeps up the persona of a normal billionaire attends parties, gives to charities, and much more. He is often very private, yet even in his civilian identity, Will is very kind and wise like his DragonMan persona. Although he still tries to draw a lime between the two and acts like a different person so people wont get suspicious.

## Abilities

DragonMan possesses amazing strength, speed, durability and a regenerative healing factor. DragonMan is easily one of the greatest minds in his world, strong enough to lift large aircraft and destroy the toughest metals or even toss around small buildings, fast enough to easily move at hypersonic speeds and beyond, and durable enough to tank powerful explosions. He is able to heal from life threatening and fatal wounds within only a few hours to a few minutes, his prehensile tail is able to grab, toss around, and smash opponents and objects with ease, he is able to fly at supersonic speeds and beyond, has razor sharp teeth and claws that can rip through almost anything, and much more. His greatest power is his fire manipulation, with him having no known limit to how much fire he can create. Meaning he can hypothetically get hot enough to rival the heat of a supernova. On top of that, his combat skills make him one of the best martial artists in the world and one of the top swordsmen in the world.

## Base of Operation

Knight Manor, Dragon Lair (Located in an underground cavern, offshore from Knight Manor and underneath the ocean in a lava filled cavern)

## Weaknesses

Like any other mortal, DragonMan can be killed. With enough severe injuries and an overworked healing factor, DragonMan can be killed. Or just destroying his brain. Since DragonMan wears a large metallic suit of armor, he is vulnerable to magnetic attacks. DragonMan values protecting freedom and the innocent at any cost, putting them in danger, especially if their children, would cause him to lose focus and will be easier to take down. With DragonMan being taught to control his emotions, he can seem very cold hearted to others around him and can give people the wrong idea about him. Also if he loses control of his emotions and allows his animalistic instincts to take control, he can become extremely violent and even bloodthirsty, which can leave him vulnerable to attacks. DragonMan is also known to be far too trusting, giving enemies many chances to stab him in the back
