Meta Man

## **History**

### **Albert Fredrick Hamilton: 1967 - 1985**

Al was born on a farm in Wichita , Kansas an only child to simple, yet loving parents. They were bewildered by his enormously varying and strong superhuman abilities, but Al grew up in a loving environment, helping out around the farm with the animals and harvest. When he came of age, however, WWII had broken out. Soon enough, he was enlisted to fight. He went without complaint, but it was difficult to hide his body from the other young men. Al ended up outing himself as a super to a superior officer, who had him moved to the super legion, much to his surprise. Al was placed under Patriot, Edward Mallory, who was to be one of the Great War heroes of the decade. Al served three years under his legion, until the end of the war, and he proved himself formidable with his many great powers. After he came back home to the farm, he was approached by a government agent who was involved in the formation of the NSA. Al was offered training and a position as one of the first ever superheroes in Municiberg. With no other particular prospects besides farm work, Al took the offer and moved to California where not only did he begin training, but he also began hormone treatment and received surgery to transition physically for the first time. He assembled a costume and took the name Meta Man and the program officially opened with himself at the helm.

### **Meta Man: 1985 - 1994**

Almost immediately, he was celebrated by the public. Meta Man was known to be a kind, compassionate hero who provided ample protection against the many new threats springing up in the States. Soon after him followed dozens of supers, many of which he befriended. He was particularly friendly with Thunderstorm, Dynaguy, and Fironic. Meta Man was most friendly with the war heroes who’d come home, Patriot and Iron Fist among them. They didn’t stay in the program long, and ended up retiring early on, but Al was to continue his friendship with them to the end of his life. His career changed permanently with the introduction of the supervillain Baron Von Ruthless. Ruthless was a powerful, frightening villain, a super himself with metal manipulation and minor telepathy, and a genius with inordinate resources at his fingertips. He was so formidable, in fact, that the other supers soon learned that it was unsafe to face him alone.

### **Meta Man: 1994 - Present**

Only Meta Man could stand up to him alone, and they began a cycle of the superhero stopping the Baron’s path of destruction and throwing him in various high security prisons, only for the man to break free over and over again. The Baron ended up harming and killing many people in the course of his career, and Meta Man received criticism for refusing to kill him, citing his no kill code. But he stuck to it stubbornly in spite of criticism. Meta Man was also known for his relationship with Stratogale, for whom he acted as a mentor. The two were close friends and good partners in the field. Sadly, Stratogale’s death by airplane was the event that would very much break Al’s spirit and make him lose much of his former confidence as a super. He was never the same after her funeralIronically, Meta Man was to meet his death the same way, his cape snagging in an elevator shaft and snapping his neck instantly. He was nationally mourned as one of America’s best and brightest heroes, and supers still living who remember him universally speak of him in fond memory.

## **Personality**

Meta Man is often depicted with a mix of idealism, restraint, fairness, and compassion. Albert expresses a resolutely noble personality, so much so that it can be hard to find noticeable flaws in him. He's gentle, kindhearted and selfless. He is also resolute, with a firm knowledge of right and wrong and an ability to act decisively in a crisis.

Gildarts is a laid-back, kind and easygoing person who has great interest and the utmost faith in the new generation of Fairy Tail's Mages. He is rather oblivious, and doesn't pay much attention to his surroundings, as he recognized neither the guild nor Mirajane. He also has a tendency to break through walls with his Crush in order to pass, rather than simply using a door, something which prompted the inhabitants of Magnolia to create the town's rearranging process.

Gildarts appears to be somewhat of a lone wolf, as in X781, he left the guild to partake upon a 100-year quest. Upon being declared the guild's Fifth Master, Gildarts quickly re-passed the mantle back upon Makarov and left the guild once more, suggesting a feeling of discomfort regarding leadership positions, or at least a dislike of added responsibility. In addition, he is a womanizer, having been with at least 13 women since leaving his now-deceased ex-wife 18 years ago.
