Spurred by his loathing for this action against the United States, he looked for some way whereby he could serve his country. Amazingly, he was seemingly visited by the spirit of the ancient Roman god of war, Mars. Mars imbued Carter with powers that were derived from the planets. Armed with these newfound abilities, Carter assumed the guise of Man of War. Whether or not this visit actually occurred has never been established. Clay Carter swears to this day that it is the truth, and as a result of the incident, he has become an amateur astronomer in order to study the planets from which his powers supposedly derive." - Protectors Handbook Shortly after he gained his powers, his brother (driven by the need to get out of Clay's shadow) went to Cuba to assist in the revolution that occurred shortly after Castro's mysterious assassination. His brother was presumed dead in an explosion, but was rebuilt by the Kill Corps (see Ferret and Toxin) to be an agent of theirs. The recent fight between the two brothers has shaken Clay's patriotism. Also, he has yet to learn any of his powers aside from physical prowess and the flaming sword. Writer's Notes: No package deal bonus was taken, since I feel those should only be for Heroic level characters. =============================================================================== Character write-up by by Dave Van Domelen (dvandom@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu)
