## Appearance

### **Physical Description**

Prof. Stone possesses a darker pale skintone accompanied by slightly stocky figure. He has a few wrinkles upon his face from days of tireless toiling as an aracheologist. Hiss brown hair isn't too long and had begun graying at the sides and his eyes are sea green.

### **Civiliian Outfit**

He normally wears a short-sleeved, ivory button-up shirt with tan cargo shorts and hiking boots. He wears a hat to keep the Sun off him, too.

### **Heroic Appearance**

As Earth-Man, Milton becomes a nondescript man with a peak human figure and is composed almost entirely of Planetary Bolt Energy. This makes him appear as a man whose entire is glowing green light with the outline of a circle on his chest, which glows a lighter coloured green.

#### How does he become the Earth-Man?

To become Earth-Man, Milton must repeat the incantation: "O' Core of Earth, source of power, lend to me your strengths in this time of need!"

To become Milton once again, Earth-Man must voice the disenchantment: "Just as the Sun does set on glorious days and disasters alike, now I, too, must release my powers, my strengths, to the Core once again."

## Personality

Milton was chosen by the planet to be its guardian because of his mental resilience and general worthiness. Milton, though initially scared of possessing such powers, grew into a confident champion whose own humbleness has served him in knowing the limits of his abilities. It may have been by chance that Milton found the Core Ring but it was no coincidence that it would choose Milton as its champion. There are ups and downs and times when Milton thought that the Earth's Core chose the wrong man to be its champion but his modesty is one of the traits that the Core chose him for. No one said this job, being the guardian of the Earth's Core, would be easy nor would it be all joyful days. The Core wouldn't have chosen him if he wasn't right for the job. Milton is honest about his aspirations, his dreams, always resolves to be humble and kind, but still takes time off for self-care. Even if Milton won't say it, the Core knows that it found the perfect man to be its champion.
