Chen Lu is one of the greatest minds from his home nation of China, a renowned nuclear physicist, he was able to use his expertise to instill in himself his great powers. With his brilliance, he has in the past been shown as able to figure out which forms of radiation would best serve any situation... Unfortunately, his arrogance keeps his brilliance from making him a greater threat... As brilliant as he is, he more often than not overestimate's his own abilities, causing him to suffer more. Along with this, while he started his criminal career working for the Chinese Government, Chen has since moved onto his own agenda, caring only for what he can gain for himself, not for his nation, or anyone else.
[/blockquote]Extraordinary Features
Powers & AbilitiesWeaknesses
- Radiation Absorbtion/Manipulation: Chen Lu is able to absorb radiation of all forms and degrees, and when he does so, he is able to use the radiation to increase his own strength, create forcefields, or to emit the radiation as various attacks. He's also able to manipulate the state of other beings who rely on radiation, more often than not shutting down their powers, at least temporarily. He is also able to remove all radiation from his own body for short periods of time so that he can appear normal.
- Energy Blasts: Chen is able to release concentrated blasts of any type of radiation he chooses, from nuclear radiation, to radiation emitted by specific stars or celestial bodies. When releasing the radiation as an energy blast, Chen is able to release it in a few ways, such as using it as a direct blast, or by releasing it around himself in a general area. He is also able to release radiation as heat, at it's highest intensity it is said to be hot enough to incinerate a city block. Finally, he is able to stream the energy as light, able to make the light bright to, at the very least, temporarily blind his opponents.
- Hard Radiation: Along with releasing different forms of radiation as energy attacks, Chen is able to release 'hard radiation' in an area around himself. This hard radiation causes nausea, disorientation, and, if Chen chooses, it can be strong enough to cause radiation poisoning in anyone near him.
- Forcefields: Chen is able to convert the radiation he manipulates to form solid forcefields around himself, which are able to withstand great amounts of damage. These forcefields have been able to, in the past, withstand several direct hits from Thor's mystical hammer, Mjolnir.
- Superhuman Strength: Chen can channel the radiation he's absorbed for the purpose of temporarily increasing his strength to super human levels. At his peak, he can lift up to two tons.
- Nuclear Physicist: Chen has a PhD in Nuclear Physics, and is well known as a genius level scientist. Given this, he's able to work outside of his field, and has proven to be a true genius, in almost all respects. He is also a foremost expert in the world on the effects that radiation has on the human anatomy.
- Isolation: Chen can only be in the company of other, non-irradiated people for short periods of time, due to his constantly emitting radiation. This leaves him able to deal almost solely with other super powered beings, unless he is wearing a radiation suit, to keep his own radiation in the suit, rather than outside.
- Overcharged: On the rare occurrence that Chen absorbs too much radiation, it has been known to affect his mental state. Most notably, being over charged seems to send him into something of a rage, until he is able to once again lower his radiation levels.
Biography[/font][/color]
The Role-Player[/font][/size][/color]
- Current Residence: New York City
After Thor first stopped a Chinese invasion of India, the Chinese government began seeking a way to kill the troublesome hero. After years of having slowly built an immunity to radiation, nuclear physicist Chen Lu subjected himself to a high dose of radiation, absorbing it, and discovering that he had been slowly mutating himself.
Pleased with this development, Chen instantly sought out his superiors to show them his powers and offer to battle Thor. Pleased with Lu's new powers, he was sent to New York where, calling himself the Radioactive Man, he sought out Thor and entered into a battle with him in which it seemed he was almost guaranteed a victory... Until Thor was able to regain his hammer, and to use a tornado to send Chen Lu back to China, where he seemingly died in a massive explosion.
Several years later, Chen reappeared alive, as part of the first Masters of Evil, lead by Baron Zemo... After being defeated by the Avengers, he once again sank into the background for several years.
His next appearance was as a member of Ultron's incarnation of the Masters of Evil... However, after once again being defeated soundly by the Avengers, Chen defected to Communist North Vietnam, and joined forces with Titanium Man and the Crimson Dynamo, calling themselves the Titanic Three, and acting as 'heroes' in the communist controlled country. However, they were quickly tricked into fighting several of the Avengers, and fell apart shortly afterwards.
Once again Chen was enlisted into the Masters of Evil, this time organized by the first Egghead. After being defeated by a lone Ant-Man, the team disbanded, and Chen grew unhappy with his lot in life. Disappearing once again for several years, Chen spent much time sowing the seeds of hatred due to his years of failure.
Reappearing again after the Keene Act was put into effect, Chen has been seeking to bring the heroes who for so long had made him a joke to their knees... Hearing of Wilson Fisk gathering numerous allies in his own bid for power, Chen offered his help, in secret, to do whatever is necessary for him to finally come out victorious...

- Other Notes: While I don't own many issues with this character, I'm positive I have his personality basically down... However, I'm not sure I'll be able to portray him with an accent... Most panels and issues I've seen with him don't show an accent, so... Here's hoping that won't be a problem.
- Sample Role-Play Post:
Walking from his lab, Chen Lu looked around the empty building... While it meant he didn't need to wear a full radiation suit, it was less than pleasing to be forced to do his work alone. With no assistants in this particular laboratory, it was up to him to ensure that everything ran smoothly... Not that it was difficult, after all, he'd been asked only to concentrate and harness some new forms of radiation, to be used in case someone that Fisk had aligned himself with turned on them.
And that was something that Chen was glad to do, after all, Fisk was offering them all the chance at vengeance, a true chance to prove their worth... And Chen Lu, the Radioactive Man, was not one to squabble the opportunity he'd been given... His loyalty to their cause would be unwavering, so long as their goals continued to serve them all... That was all the Chen asked of his current employer.
Pressing a button, a screen on one of the consoles lit up, revealing the outline of Fisk sitting in his chair, "Mr. Lu... Have you managed to achieve what I requested?"
"Did you expect it to take I, the Radioactive Man, longer to master some form of radiation? Despite having not encountered it before, this 'red sunlight' radiation is no more difficult to use than any other radiation, I merely needed that artificial sample you provided to recreate it... When it is needed, I shall be ready for it... In the meantime, Mr. Fisk, is there anything else you require of me?" Chen scoffed, surprised that Fisk had expected to wait longer.
"Now that you mention it, Mr. Lu... I've recently begun working with a man known as Albert Wesker... I'm going to contact him, and I'd like you to offer your expertise to him and his study of various viruses... If you don't mind..." Fisk coolly replied, fully aware of what Chen's reply would be.
"Indeed, Mr. Fisk, I can help this 'Wesker' in his endeavors..."
