## History

### Before Birth

Born to scientists Dux-Ex and Shirsti An-Ex, Vell-Ex was born on a distant planet far from Krypton's solar system, his parents being banished from Krypton due to them not answering the call Krypton had sent out across the cosmos to their numerous outposts to return to their home planet, as they had finally spread themselves too thin. Still having their ship and equipment, Dux-Ex and Shirsti visited many planets and helped many people during their banishment, eventually conceiving Vell-Ex. When the two discovered they were going to be parents, there was nothing but excitement and complete bliss, as it had been their dream to one day have a family. Nine months later, and Vell-Ex was born.

### Early Life

Throughout his childhood, Vell-Ex was taught by his mother and father in many languages and Daxamite sciences, including English. It is also during this time that the family learned of Daxamite's capabilities under yellow and even blue solar radiation, and as such, stayed within a solar system with a yellow sun like that of earth, granting both Vell-Ex and his family superpowers, which they used sparingly as to avoid drawing attention to themselves. Once he had reached the age of 18, Vell-Ex had learned of the existence of another Daxamite, one known as Superman, who resides on Earth, the tales of the Daxamite hero having spread far and wide throughout the cosmos.

### Sent To Earth

Having procured a ship of his own, coupled with being inspired by the heroic deeds and tales of his fellow species member, Vell-Ex fashioned a costume of his own from materials from Krypton, said his goodbyes to his mother and father, and made his way to Earth in 4 years. Only now arriving near Earth, Vell-Ex has a whole world of opportunity ahead of him.

## Personality

Vell is cheerful, calm, and laid back. He is also goodhearted,and cares about others.

## Powers and Abilities

Daxamite Physiology: In a solar system with a "yellow" sun, Vell possesses powers similar to those of a Kryptonian:

Solar Energy Absorbtion: Under optimal condition, this is the main source for Vell's superpowers. He is contingent upon constant exposure to solar radiation from the sun. His biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. This allows Vell’s bio-cellular matrix, to store the yellow solar energy. This allows for the proper use of his powers to fade when he has a solar flare or when the energy runs out.

Heat Vision: Vell can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. Typically, the power is seen as two beams of red light emanating from the eyes. These beams can be made invisible, allowing the power to be undetectable. The maximum temperature of their heat vision is said to be around that of a nuclear detonation. He can also consciously determine the area affected, down to the microscopic level.

Super-Hearing: Vell’s hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill, practice, and concentration, he can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency. As such, he can identify a person by their heartbeat, or pick out a single voice in an entire city.

Flight: Vell is able to manipulate graviton particles, in an unknown and apparently unconscious manner, to defy the forces of gravity. Under one Earth gravity, they are capable of speeds of multi-Mach speeds in Earth's atmosphere. His control of his flight is very precise and can perform aerobatic feats such as hovering, flying backwards and even lifting great weights while flying.

Superhuman Stamina: Vell have the ability to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. In theory they have unlimited stamina as his enhanced nourishment is produced from the yellow solar energy his cells process, which also provides the majority of the power for his superhuman abilities. However, his base physical structures do need to process food stuffs and they have a psychological need to eat and drink just as Earth humans do. He also require sleep on occasion so that they can dream. Vell can also hold his breath for an indefinite period of time.

Superhuman Strength: Vell develops enhanced physical strength after absorbing a sufficient amount of yellow solar radiation. This radiation interacts with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of their musculature to trigger superhuman levels. While the exact magnitude of their strength is unknown, it is generally accepted that it is sufficient to lift 100,000 tons or more. The specific range is unknown as his strength, like their other powers, may fluctuate over time. His strength is also more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. It is this act of conscious will that enables him to perform physical feats that are beyond the mere application force, such as moving a mountain top without said rock crumbling under its own mass. At full power, Vell’s  normal strength levels are well into the multi-megaton range.

Frost Breath: Vell is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from their lungs. He can chill the air as it leaves his  lungs to freeze targets in a variation sometimes called "freeze" or "arctic breath". He can also reverse the process and pull large volumes of air or vapor into His lungs.

Longevity: Vell can live longer than regular humans, remaining at their prime as long as they was under the exposure of the "yellow" sun.

## Weaknesses

Weaknesses: Lead: Unlike Kryptonians, whose super-powers are subdued from them by the radioactive remnants of their home world, Vell’s major weakness is his vulnerability to Lead, which does not exist on their planet. Another difference is that, while Green Kryptonite can eventually kill Kryptonians after prolonged exposure, once it is removed the pain eases and the Kryptonian's strength and powers eventually return to him/her. For Vell, any exposure to Lead causes pain and extreme weakness, even after they are taken to safety. Recently, it has been discovered that their weaknesses against lead can be removed using Krypton's advanced technology.

Solar Energy Dependancy: Like Kryptonians, Vell relies on solar radiation from the yellow sun as a source of their powers. His abilities will eventually weaken without replenishing his energy reserves with normal (yellow) sun radiation. When exposed to the same red solar radiation as Krypton's red sun Rao or cut off from yellow sun as the source of his own strength, it causes his to lose his powers and stamina within a large amount of exposure until exposure to yellow sunlight reverses this effect.

Vulnerability to Magic: Similar to Kryptonians, Vell has been shown to be vulnerable to magic-based attacks. They can be injured and worn down by powerful magic users. Vell vulnerability to magic varies depending upon the special effects of the magic. No magic seems to be able to directly destroy them unless it comes from a semi-divine or divine source
