Erik McCabe
Hero Name:
Red Lion
Age:
27
Gender:
Male
Role:
Anti-Hero, Former Villain
Quirk:
Lion's Eye Ability - A mutant type quirk that allows Erik to duplicte almost any physical act he sees after seeing it done by someone else only once. Red Lion can use this ability to master complex gymnastics routines and play difficult pieces of music. While this ability is active, Erik's eyes take on the resemblance of a lion's, hence the name.
Strengths:
~Tracking & Survival - Erik's abilities as both a tracker and survivalist are without peer, even without use of his enhancements.
~ Gifted Intellect - Despite only been sporadically educated in his early upbringing, he is nonetheless a very cunning, capable individual who learned advanced subjects through individual pursuit rather than traditional "socialized" education. His knowledge base is equivalent to that of a Rhodes scholar. In particular, Erik is well-versed in Arcane and Ancient knowledge.
~ Accomplished Writer - Erik has published several best-selling novels under the pseudonym C.J. Priest, his subjects range from political science, philosophy, economics, history, military/martial culture, religion/spirituality, metaphysics, psychology and human sexuality.
~ Connections - Erik has many supporters, some of whom occupy positions in government,military, law enforcement, entertainment, and other areas you wouldn't otherwise expect.
Weakness:
Extended use of his quirk does produce some unintended visibility problems for Erik. Erik's past as a former villain is also an issue for him, many in the hero community are unwilling to co-operate with someone with a background as troubled as Erik.
History:
It can argued in some ways that what he's trying to achieve, his endgoal is heroic. Out of costume, Erik's public persona is that of an influential writer, an affable adventurist, a leader and spokesman for the marginalized, in costume, he becomes one of the most feared men in the world, a terror that threatens to undermine the worlds governments.
It should be noted that Erik himself is not known by many, he's more or a less a shadow operating in a world that bears his influence without knowing he exists or who he is, he's managed to cultivate a deep following for his cause on social media and through hollywood and other institutions, will maintaining complete anonymity.
