Biography[/font][/color]
The Role-Player[/font][/size][/color]When Kang the Conqueror appeared before his younger self to tell him of his future, the young Nathaniel Richards turned on his destiny. Taking the suit he'd been provided, he returned to the 20th Century to seek out the team that was supposed to become his greatest enemies, the Avengers, Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
- Current Residence: New York City
Unfortunately, he arrived shortly after the team had disbanded. Finding the remains of the Vision, however, proved a lucky brake for the young genius. Adding the Vision's AI to his suit, he discovered a program in place tracking powered children, in case it proved necessary to acquire new Avengers. Using this protocol, Richards disguised himself as an Ironman looking figure, calling himself Ironlad and gathering the children to train them to battle his future self, Kang.
One of these teens found was Elijah 'Eli' Bradley, though it was truly Josiah X that Ironlad was looking for. Agreeing to join the team, claiming to have received super soldier powers from his grandfather through a blood transfusion. However, Eli faked his powers through the use of a specially concocted form of Mutant Growth Hormone (MGH).
Becoming something of the team's leader, Eli proved capable of planning on coming through with victory. After being discovered by Captain America and Ironman, Eli revealed the man beneath his original mask when accused of trying to be Bucky, revealing that he wore the domino mask not to honor Bucky, but to honor his grandfather, the original Captain America.
Shortly after tricking Ironman and Captain America, and defeating Kang, it was discovered that Eli had never truly had powers, as he was caught injecting himself with MGH to fight the villain known as Mr. Hyde. After this revelation, Eli spiraled into a seming depression, apologizing to his friends, as well as to Captain America, before leaving the team, feeling he had no right to lead the Young Avengers, nonetheless be a part of the team.
Soon enough, however, the other members were able to talke Eli into returning to the team, using his fighting prowess and intelligence to back the team. After a run in between Skrull's and Kree's seeking out his teammate, Hulkling, Patriot was left nearly beaten to death. Ironically, his grandfather happened to have the same bloodtype as him, leading to him actually receiving the very blood transfusion he had previously used as a lie. Upon recovering, Eli found himself with all the powers granted by the super soldier serum, and ready to return as the active leader of his team.
Over the next several months, Eli and his team members grew more into their shoes as heroes. However, during the super hero Civil War, the team was forced to go underground. Joining with Captain America's Secret Avengers, the Young Avengers proved invaluable to the team.
Directly ignoring Captain America's orders at one point in the war, the Young Avengers at Eli's order hijacked a Quinjet, and flew across the country to attempt to recruit fellow teens, the Runaways, to their cause. At first the two teams fought, with the Runaways mistaking the Young Avengers for representatives of the SHRA, however, the two teams quickly realized they were on the same side and, just as they were getting to know each other, were attacked by Noh Varr. Working together, the two groups were able to escape the facility they were being held in, and parted ways peacefully.
The next time Patriot and his teammates would meet the Runaways would be during the Skrull invasion of New York City. Working together well again, the two teams helped to repeal the Skrulls, and proved their mettle as heroes, as well as cementing their mutual friendships.
After a new team began calling themselves the Young Avengers, one that was much less stable than the team Eli was a part of, he and his teammates tracked the other group down, and field tested them. While he had hopes for Melter and some of the other members, the team proved to be too unstable and violent for Eli to accept all of them, leading to the team's parting ways, and the 'New Young Avengers' renaming themselves the Young Masters, to appease Eli and the Young Avengers telling them not to use their name.
Shortly after this, the Young Avengers temporarily disbanded, finding it easier to act on their own during the early days of the new Keene Act. During this time, Eli came into his own as a hero a little more, becoming exceptionally skilled at dealing with the cruelty and injustice all around him. Maintaining his appearance as an American hero, Eli remained Patriot, fighting injustice and hoping to keep hope alive in the hearts and minds of those who still supported the heroes.
Recently, he's sought to bring together a new group, to become the Young Avengers... Believing that with a new team, whether or not his old friends return to the team, he'd be able to do more good, and to more effectively resist the Keene Act than he had on his own.

- Sample Role-Play Post:
What the hell had he even been thinking, disbanding the Young Avengers... Sure, on his own, he was good... But, with the team... He'd been great...
Of course, even without worrying about himself, Eli knew that, without his team, he wasn't able to do enough... One man, while easier to hide, wasn't going to be able to do enough to stop the cruelty that was so prevalent now...
Of course, now wasn't exactly the time to be thinking about the past... Rolling out of the way as one of the dealersswung a bat at the back of his head Eli Bradley, dressed in his Patriot uniform, threw a handful of throwing stars at the bastard, before lifting his shield in front of his face. "Give up, punk... Even on my own, there's no way in Hell some two-bit drug dealer is taking me down..." Eli growled between clenched teeth, absorbing a blow from the bat against his shield, before rising up with all of his enhanced strength to send the man flying.
After he hit the floor, Eli ran to the man, finished him with one hard punch to the jaw. "MGH... Sells well, but it'll never be worth it... Trust me..." Eli mumbled to the unconscious dealer, as he destroyed the remaining supply, thinking of his first days with the Young Avengers...
Walking away, Eli found himself determined to get the team together... Even if he was the only one left after everything was said and done...
