## Appearance

### Physical Description

Jefferson is a tall, strong man with a musclar build. His skin tone is a light, chocolate-brown colour and he's bald with black eyebrows and a black, balbo-style beard. His eyes are practically black, too.

### Civilian Clothing

In the glory days, back when his identity was still a secret, Jefferson wore a long-sleeved, button-up dress shirt under a light blue sweater vest paired with black dress pants and black dress shoes.

### Hero Costume

His original suit, back when he was the hero known as Sampson, consisted of a black, sub-armour bodysuit covered in bits of armour. He wore a primarily India green, high-tech, bulky breastplate with shoulder and back coverage that had glowing blue lights. There was a visible core in the centre of the chest. It glowed blue, like the other lights, and was shaped loke a pnetagon. The breastplate had thick, hose-like cords connecting the back of the armour and providing power to similarly coloured large braces. He had kind of bulky, armoured boots in a matching design to the braces and the breastplate paired with thin leg armour on his thighs and knee pads matching in colour and material.

### Villain Gear

After he betrayal, and his becoming Black Oak, the base of the armour stayed the same. He simply altered the colouration from India green with blue lights to silver with red lights and the shape of the core was altered from being shaped like a pentagon to being shaped like an upside down triangle.

## Personality

At first, when he was Sampson, Jefferson was passionate about helping people and protecting the innocent. He cared about the safety of the little people and was willing to work alongside Earth's finest team of heroes to accomplish such a goal. But this was before his husband and kids were killed during one of Superhero's battles with a rogue alien menace.

It was this moment that caused him to throw away all that he accomplished as the hero Sampson to end the threat to humanity that alien lives posed. He has endless anger toward aliens but still only uses killing as a last resort. After all, he's still a hero at heart. He won't stoop so low as to kidnap or harm innocent civilians and refuses to fight against human heroes. Alien heroes aren't the only kind of aliens he'll actively try to remove from the picture. He'll traget villains, rogues, and even civilian aliens! He isn't a monster. All he wishes is that aliens would leave Earth. He just wants humanity to understand that they aren't here to be heroes, they're here to harm mankind.

"A hero in villain's clothing."

## Skills and Abilities

### Genius Level Intellect

Despite his less than fortunate circumstances, Jefferson turned out to be a genius. He was able to build high-tech equipment out of spare parts he found in alleyways, dumpsters, garage sales, and hardware stores. He invented a power core that uses extremely radioactive isotopes to power his suit. He calls it a Nucon Core. He was even smart enough to build a device capable of housing the mind of his deceased brother!

### Superhuman Durability

The armoured parts of his suit are extremely durable and can resist most calibers of gunfire.

### Superhuman Strength

Due to overexposure to the isotopes that power his equipment, Jefferson's muscles have mutated and grown slightly. these miniature mutations caused him to develope strength that surpasses the strongest of normal humans. He can lift roughly 4 tons at max.

### Radiation Resistance

Due to his years of exposure to toxic radiation from the isotopes he uses to power is equipment, Jefferson has developed a resistance to the toxic affects that the isotopes have.

### Hand-to-Hand Combat

As a result from his youth on the streets, his less fortunate life,a and his time as the hero Sampson, Jefferson has learned quite a lot about self defense and unarmed combat. Combined with his current strength, it wouldn't take him long to knock out a fully grown man in peak physical condition. In fact, he could probably do it in a single punch. He's got quite the left hook.

### Radioactive Energy Manipulation

Jefferson can use his braces to project Nucon energy attacks/beams and can generate radiation fields with his breastplate. The radioactive energy is high toxic to organic entities and can cause radiation burns, or even vaporize objects, on contact. It causes radiation sickness as a lasting side effect, too, and his radiation fields seem to have relatively similar effects; however, they are primarily used for defensive purposes.

### Repulsion Barrier Projection

His equipment is also equipped with a mechanism that seems to be abble to inverts the electron gravity around him to produce a repulsion effect. With this, Jefferson has a barrier-type ability that can turn away anything thats slower than it but can only slow down whatever is faster than it.

### Flight

Jefferson can fly by simply projecting energy from his boots and braces to generate thrust. He can fly as fast as Mach 3.

## Equipment

### Sampson/Black Oak Gear

Without his armour, Jefferson hasn't got many combative skills pr abilities. He's only super strong and radiation resistant because of the years of exposure to the Nucon Core that powers his suit. The suit is extremely durable and highly complex for being made oout of scrap, junk, and parts you can get a the hardware store. It gives him the ability to fly, project energy attacks, and repel objects & enemies.

### Samson (AI)

When he was young, his brother, Samson "Sammy" Oak, died. He managed to preserve his brother's consciousness in a rudimentary data crux. Once he had significantly better tech at his disposal, he transferred his brother's mind into a better unit. Since then, Jefferson and Sammy have gone on many adventures and therefore share many of the same opinions as each other. Samson is now connected to systems the world over and can track down even the most vague information. He can calibrate the suit, alter the energy output, and can even control drones that his brother built.

### Samson 1

Samson 1 is a special, humanoid drone built specifically to allow Sammy to "be in the real world" and not just in cyberspace. The drones has many of the same capabilities as Jefferson's suit. (i.e. Radioactive Energy Manipulation, Repulsion Barriers, Super Strength, and Superhuman Durability)
