Johnny Florence

- Johnny

Johnny Florence (born October 30, 1909) is the son of Anthony Florence and Natia Keil. When he entered his young adult years, Johnny was taken prisoner as a subject of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, which was a front for experimentation with Terrigen Mist on humans. Johnny's powers were awakened during those experiments. After an accident in the lab, Johnny was trapped in a pocket dimension, dubbed by him as "Tenegris." Trapped in the dimension for 15 years, Johnny was finally freed and was able to control his abilities.

During his travels of the multiverse, he came across Aleena, also known as the Dreaming Maiden. He became quick friends with her and the two started to form a sibling-like bond, both Aleena and Johnny being alone in their own strange world. When Argo Harper and Maxwell Jones were brought to the Gap Junction by Aleena, Nightmare launched his attack. Johnny swooped in to protect Aleena, but soon allied with Argo and Max to stop Nightmare. Once he had been defeated, Johnny decided to join Argo and his growing team.

Johnny became a crucial part of the Avengers, leading a small force against Kronos' army in Manhatten while also supplying much needed backup at perfect moments for the team.

## Powers and Abilities

Inhuman genes activated by a variant of Terregen Mist (Analysis entry #5936), awakened genes allow him access to a pocket dimension dubbed Tenebris by him. Due to unique pores in his body he is able to generate billions of negative wavelength particles that bond to nearby surroundings. When activated by a small area of the cerebrum the particles act as a gateway from the prime material plane to Tenebris and back again depending on the user’s preference. When In combat situations the rate of the particle generation is increased a hundredfold and can be formed into solid mass or semi solid liquid like mass completely under the wielder’s masterful control. Due to the extremely small size of the emitted particles nearly comparable to single atoms the particles can subconsciously be arranged and rearranged to simulate feather or Diamond with the structure of the particles. This also allows the wielder to create armor or appendages to assist in combat applications.

Weaknesses: due to an unknown variable not yet known cubic zirconium has severely adverse reactions with Florence. J, causing massive drops in the body’s natural healing capacity and effectiveness, it also causes massive pain to the affected area. It is hypothesized that a large shard or other shape of cubic zirconium given enough force into the subject’s torso would result in instant incapacitation or even death. It is also been noted that fire has some undesirable effect, but magical fire displayed most prominently by subjects John Constantine, Zatanna Zatarra, and Ghost Rider have caused the subject to become severely weakened or damaged, perhaps the magical properties of the “hellfire” as it is called has some opposing polarization effect with the Tenebris particles.

Conclusion: the large potential that Tenebris particles have and the displayed prowess that Johnny Florence has displayed in utilizing them has categorized him on par with Omega class mutants and other extremely powerful entities noted in S.H.I.E.L.D’s existing files.
