Crucible:Magnus

Real Name: Magnus Andersson

Background: Born a parahuman, Magnus Andersson did not work and play well with others. He was much tougher and stronger than the kids around him, almost scarily so. Finding out about his genetic inheritance was scary and exciting at the same time. His genes made him special. He used his abilities to fight, rob and steal...until he met Claw. Claw convinced the angry young man to fight for something greater: parahuman rights. The two became the core of the terrorist group called Factor M.

Magnus was apparently killed during the Hero Wars when he became infected with a virus that would re-write parahuman DNA. He had actually entered a form of deep coma, from which the scientists of Eclipse revived him. He later re-joined Factor M.
