He has impersonated Man-Ape. Occupation: Free-lance hero and student, former terrorist. Current group affiliation: Thunderbolts Past group affiliations: Liberation Forces of America Major enemies: Liberation Forces of America, U.S. Agent, Jury, Masters of Evil VI. First appearance: Thunderbolts #19 Origin: Thunderbolts #24 Description: In human form Charlie is a young man with dark skin, brown eyes and no hair (probably shaven). He is 5'7'' tall and weighs 135 lbs. in human form. In the form of Charcoal, Charlie is a hulking humanoid made of carbon with glowing eyes and sharp protrusions on his elbows and knees. Explanation of the conversion: Charlie wears an unstable molecule costume in humans form which is absorbed into his body in hero form, which is why the Armor is both OIF and Only in normal ID. History: Charlie's father became a member of the Imperial Forces of America and during a medical exam by their scientists, it was discovered that Charlie had the potential to gain super powers. Under the direction of Arnim Zola he has turned into the super-human Charcoal the Burning Man (recounted in Thunderbolts #24). He fought for the Imperial Forces for a little while out of loyalty to his father. With them they succeeded to take over a small town until confronted by the Thunderbolts (Thunderbolts #19). Shortly after confronting the Thunderbolts Charlie decided to join them in their quest to redeem themselves and become heroes. Using his tracking ability he followed a bit a coal broken off in Hawkeye's pack to the temporary headquarters of the Thunderbolts. After initial apprehension he convinced Hawkeye that he really wanted to become a hero. He has aided them in facing the U.S. Agent and the Jury who were hired to capture the Thunderbolts and then helped them track down the Masters of Evil VI. Since joining the Thunderbolts, Charlie has become very close to his teammate Jolt and began attending school with her under a false name at a school near the Thunderbolts headquarters. Powers: Charlie is able to change from his human form to one made of pure carbon. Once in this form he is able to manipulate his body to create a number of superhuman abilities. He can change the shape and structure of his body from soft coal to diamond hardness, form shields and weapons and create flame. He can fly like a rocket when he covers himself in flame. He can track any broken piece of himself at any distance. In his carbon form Charlie is superhumanly strong and durable. Character created by Marvel Comics. Conversion to Champions rules by Mathew R.
