> Hashim's Iconic Catchphrase

**Hashim Rwashdeh** is a Metropole High student, the founder and host of the Rwashdeh Gym Championship, and a founding member of The Defenders of the Universe, and the former arch enemy of Ali Abouelfetouh who was a tough brute who would be intimidating and selfish and enjoys harming others to his own pleasure, such as fighting Ali Abouelfetouh in the Rwashdeh Arena and killing and poisoning El Jefe, prompting his son to despise and seek revenge on him. However one day, the school gets under attack by a Russian crime lord and mastermind and his army of Japanese yakuza who kill some students, prompting Rwashdeh and some students who eventually become a team to make an alliance with El Guapo, making a truce with Ali, and successfully defeat Shreikov, despite the deaths of his goons and allies.

Rwashdeh then becomes a vigilante and fights crime throughout the city of Dubai under the name of **Titanium**, and joins The Defenders of the Universe and the rest of the survivors in building a new territory. Rwashdeh then joins the team to locate the Shards of Resurrection to bring back everyone else that died to Shreikov, reuniting with his long-lost twin brother and successfully resurrecting the dead back to life. Rwashdeh later decided to donate some of his DNA to Loai Ismail to make some protein energy drinks for his business. However, the Hashorades were drugged by Feras Hussain who was hired by Zayed Binjarsh to frame and destroy Loai's image. Rwashdeh then found out and ended their partnership, until Loai eventually defeated Feras and an assassin that wanted to blow up the Solar System for his hatred towards humanity, prompting Rwashdeh to make amends with Loai, and allowing Loai once again to sell his Hashorades.

2 months later, Hashim moves out of Dubai to spend more time with his brother until he is forced to come back by the Defenders of the Universe to help them stop Corrupted Shreikov, an alternate variant of Ivan Shreikov, from destroying the Multiverse and wiping out all of existence.

## Biography

### Childhood and Early Life

Nothing much is known about Hashim's childhood, except for the fact he was separated from his brother when he was three, and he was constantly abused by his alcoholic step-father, prompting him to develop a tough and hardened attitude to others. At some point in his life, he began bodybuilding and forming an empire of bodybuilders to dominate and defeat rival drug empires in the city of Dubai, including drugging and poisoning Mexican crime kingpin and mastermind El Jefe, prompting his son to develop a hatred towards him and seek revenge on him for the death of his father. Then when Rwashdeh became a teen, he and his goons attended Metropole High and they established the Rwashdeh Gym Championship and built a gladiator arena to host the championship there as a form of entertainment. Hashim would also develop a rivalry with Ali Abouelfetouh, with the two of them becoming arch enemies.

## Personality

Hashim was an aggressive, brash, sarcastic, gruff, sadistic, psychopathic, tough, cold-hearted, blunt, flamboyant, and egocentric bodybuilder who would intimidate and harm others for his own personal gain. Hashim also liked harming others and beating them up for his own enjoyment. He would always show off his muscles and buff body whenever he has the chance to do so, much to the dismay of his goons.

## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

* **Superhuman Strength**: Hashim’s primary power is his immense superhuman strength. His incredible high-level of superhuman strength allows him to perform feats such as ripping apart steel, destroying vehicles with a single punch, stopping a speeding Humvee in its tracks by stomping it into the ground, and stopping a massive Deathrider with a single punch. He is able to create a shockwave with his hands powerful enough to extinguish fire and also create thunderclaps when slapping his hands together. His feet can stomp holes through cement. In combat, Hashim often uses his strength to throw heavy objects such as vehicles or his smaller opponents in order to defeat his enemies, such as when he threw a yakuza soldier more than 40 feet away with a single kick. Overall, few individuals have been able to match or surpass Hashim’s strength, such as Ivan Shreikov who despite his greater base level of power ultimately succumbed to Hashim’s.
* **Superhuman Durability**: Hashim is able to withstand blows and attacks of considerable force; tranquilizer darts and even high caliber bullets bounce off him, and flames cause him no damage whatsoever. His bones, skin, and muscles have an extreme density and he possesses a high degree of resistance to injury, pain, and disease. Hashim has bulletproof skin and near unbreakable bones. Hashim also withstood multiple energy blasts from yakuza weaponry, extreme cold in the Arctic, and great impacts from heights of several miles (though the impact knocked him unconscious). Only beings with incredible force or extremely powerful weapons can harm him, such as when Hashim was painfully pierced by a skeletal spine, and when Ivan Shreikov badly beat him. While Hashim did survive quite a few blows from Phantom Ninja with little discomfort, he got a tooth knocked out in the confrontation.
* **Superhuman Speed**: Regardless of his size, Hashim can run and move at great superhuman speed, allowing him to run at speeds that are far beyond the natural physical limits of a human being. He was fast enough to go toe-to-toe with Ivan Shreikov and quick enough to dodge some of Ali Abouelfetouh's attack in the Arena War, but his large size can still be exploited by smaller foes to use to their advantage.
* **Superhuman Agility**: Regardless of his size, Hashim can leap great distances and heights with precision due to the superhuman strength in his legs. His powerful legs can leap hundreds of meters. Allowing him to reach the top of TechnoCorp Tower from ground level in a single leap. Carrying Ali Abouelfetouh on his back, Hashim was able to make enormous jumps through the air, reaching the Metropole High football field from the entrance.
* **Superhuman Stamina**: Hashim has substantially greater endurance than a normal human, allowing him to run and fight for extremely long periods of time. Hashim has the ability to withstand major amounts of damage without breaking a sweat, unless and until he fights beings of higher power such as Shreikov or Moaz Ali.
* **Superhuman Reflexes**: Hashim can react and dodge objects traveling at high speeds.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor**: Should he receive damage that penetrates his extreme durability, his biology has a very high rate of cellular regeneration. Hashim also has an enhanced immune system. During his fight with Ivan Shreikov, Hashim suffered a strike to the chest, but it has since healed well leaving only a scar. Mere moments after his fight with C.J. Rwashdeh in which Hashim suffers a deep puncture wound in his leg, no wound or scar tissue is seen.

### Abilities

* **Expert Combatant:** While having no formal training from the beginning, he is a formidable and experienced hand-to-hand combatant simply due to his great physical attributes. Hashim often engages his enemies using brawling techniques and street fighting skills that make full use of his incredible strength and also employs pieces of his immediate environment to fight with, often using them as range projectiles to strike distant targets, while sometimes for melee attacks or protection. He demonstrated proficiency in boxing against Ivan Shreikov. While training and fighting in the Rwashdeh Gym Championship, however, Hashim demonstrated much more combat skill than before, and his prowess allowed him to strongly injure all of his competitors. His improved skills allowed him to compete against Moaz Ali, although Hashim had to rely on surprise attacks to gain the upper hand because simply, Moaz was a lot smaller, faster and far more skilled than Rwashdeh in a close quarter combat, Hashim was quickly outclassed and was only able to win due to his goons interfering with the battle to ensure Hashim won.
* **Expert Intimidator**: Hashim has a very imposing presence. He uses his intimidation to control the Defenders of the Universe, who recognize that he is the strongest member of the group, and that he is completely without conscience and has no moral reservations about brutally beating anyone he chooses. As a result, most of them are scared of Hashim. He also intimidates to get whatever he wants.

### Weaknesses

* **Lepidopterophobia:** Despite being the strongest member of The Defenders of the Universe, Hashim greatly fears butterflies, as he immediately becomes terrified and insane when faced with a butterfly or moth. The presense of butterflies give him symptoms such as difficulty breathing, racing heartbeat, nausea, sweating, and/or trembling.

## Trivia

* Hashim is one of the few not to utilize any weapons, as he mostly uses his strength and agility to fight.
