## **Personality**

Rick presents himself as a mysterious teenager with an edge that makes him appear borderline dangerous. He often gets in trouble at school and spends most of his time after school either in detention or drinking. He takes school-issued products and carves into his desk at detention. He doesn’t talk much unless it is to defend himself. He is a classic loner who doesn't socialize with people. Inside, Rick is a tortured soul who is dealing with the crushing loss of both his parents. While not explicitly stated, it is heavily implied that Rick's uncle, Matt, is physically aggressive toward Rick. He has been forced to live a facade of his uncle being his father, and therefore, is unable to publicly mourn the loss of his father. Rick tries to honor his father's memory by rebuilding his '66 mustang. He pushes people away by acting sharp and distant. Rick emotionally admits that he deals with crushing and overwhelming anger. He wants to hit something all the time and feels as though he is poisoning himself and that he is so angry. While fighting crime, Rick has a "*punch first ask questions later*" mentality and believes that his brute force is the best way to handle things. Peter's intellectual and quiet ways balance Rick's violence out and force him to be patient.

He was able to use his strength to easily break bones, punch through solid concrete and military-grade steel, and could almost effortlessly tear a car door off of the frame. His strength allowed him to overpower his opponents with minimal effort, easily equaling that of 12 men. He was able to easily pick up and crush a keg with his bare hands, and with one punch, he was capable of destroying a blind spot mirror, splitting a pickup truck in half (which a man believed King Kong to be responsible for) and knocking down a tree. During his fight against Sportsmaster, he kicked a car with enough force to flip him off the ground. He also briefly lifted a car overhead. He is even stronger than Shiv, Stargirl, and Wildcat. Rick had shown sufficient strength to break down giant reinforced steel doors, break human bones with one hand, and carry an industrial centrifuge over one shoulder. He was capable of sending objects flying at the speed of an arrow, such as when he threw a metal case into a camera in seconds. He was also capable of pushing a large wooden crate through the air and into a wall when aiming it at the Sportsmaster, smashing it to pieces, as well as kicking a table several feet away.

* **Superhuman Durability:** Rick can manifest enhanced durability for one hour per day. The Miracle serum increased the resistance of the muscle and bone structure of Rick, causing them to become more durable than a normal human's, as he was barely fazed while being hit with large tree branches. He was unharmed when he knocked down a tree with his bare hand. He remained conscious after being hit in the head by Sportsmaster with a baseball bat.

He is able to survive at any temperature without discomfort such as ice blast from Icicle and fire blast from Shiv's Dragon Scepter. Rick had been shown to take bullets and arrows without flinching. Tigress has remarked that his muscle density is similar to common titanium, as evidenced by the deformed arrowhead that was used to stab him. He could also effortlessly land on his feet from several stories without being hurt or slowed down. Rick is durable enough to punch through solid concrete and military-grade steel that is durable enough to withstand regular bombs. He can also withstand hits from physically enhanced humans and other individuals with superhuman strength. Rick's durability grew to remarkable levels; after Virtuoso ran over him with a school bus, he quickly recovered and displayed no signs of injury. He could survive being repeatedly shot in the chest at close range and endured the journey from Lian Yu without permanent injuries. In addition, when Rick was punched by Shiv, a villain with enhanced strength, he was barely fazed.
