“Stand behind me. That is not a request.”
<br>— '''Romulus'''
</div>

'''Romulus''' is the heroic identity of '''Jean-Michael Fever''', a Canadian super-soldier created during World War II through the secret '''Project Wolfcub''' program. Frozen for decades after the war, he returned to the modern world under false pretenses, broke free of manipulation, and eventually became the leader of [[Crucible:Force Five|Force Five]].

== Background ==

Jean-Michael Fever was a young Canadian soldier during World War II when he volunteered for an experimental enhancement initiative known as '''Project Wolfcub'''. The process gave him heightened combat ability and the power to project force fields, transforming him into one of Canada’s most capable wartime super-soldiers.

After the war, Romulus was placed in cryogenic suspension at a remote northern facility, where he remained forgotten for decades.

He was eventually discovered by [[Crucible:Brimstone|Brimstone]], who revived him and convinced him that the war was still being fought. Manipulated by that deception, Romulus was sent against [[Crucible:Force Five|Force Five]], believing them to be enemies of his country and mission.

== Force Five ==

Romulus eventually recognized the truth and broke free of Brimstone’s control. Rather than remain isolated in a world that had moved on without him, he joined Force Five, the same team he had first been tricked into fighting.

Over time, the team became his new family. His discipline, battlefield experience, and protective instincts made him a natural leader, and he eventually took command of Force Five.

== Powers ==

Romulus can generate and project powerful force fields from his body. These fields can be used defensively to shield himself and others, or tactically to control movement, absorb impact, and hold ground under heavy attack.

== Skills ==

Romulus is an expert soldier, commando, and marksman, with wartime training reinforced by decades of modern field experience. His leadership style is direct and protective, shaped by both military discipline and a deep loyalty to his team.

== Technology ==

Although born into an earlier era, Romulus has enthusiastically embraced modern equipment. He enjoys showing off high-tech weapons, vehicles, and field gear, often with the delight of a man discovering the future one gadget at a time.

== Personality ==

Jean-Michael Fever carries the habits of a wartime soldier into the modern age: duty, loyalty, courage, and a tendency to put himself between danger and everyone else. His displacement has made him reflective, but not bitter, and his affection for Force Five gives him a clear place in a world that might otherwise have left him behind.

== Reputation ==

Among Canadian heroes, Romulus is respected as both a relic of wartime heroism and a fully modern leader. His command of Force Five has helped define the team’s identity, giving it a steady center built on experience, courage, and hard-earned trust.

== Legacy ==

Romulus represents the survival of an older heroic ideal into the present day. Created for war, preserved by accident, and misused by an enemy, he ultimately chose his own future by standing with the people he had once been sent to fight.
