BACKGROUND: Not all mutations are beneficial, in fact some can wind up killing the recipient of such “gifts”.  Heinrich Schuder was such a man.  His powers manifested themselves on his fifteenth birthday, when in a rage directed at his parents he leveled their home and killed them.  He was hospitalized with burns all over his body.  To everyone’s surprise he healed from them, just in time for his trial.  He was given life imprisonment in special facility to prevent his powers from harming anyone else.
    His stay in prison only enforced his self -loathing; he had been angry with his parents, but he still loved them.  Their deaths tore at his conscience, made him almost mad with hatred for himself, the world, everything.  Then one day there was a jail break, an informant under police protection and being hidden in Heinrich’ cell block under another identity had been found by the people he had ratted on, and soon death arrived for him in the form of Flying Fortress.  The informant and several guards died in a missile salvo, and soon FF was flying away.  Heinrich screamed for him to stop, and for some strange reason the man did.  FF turned, eyed Heinrich, and uploaded his file from his temporary database (his mission profile had files on all criminals in that cell block-there was no telling what surprises could have been waiting for him).  FF read the file, made a snap decision, and flew off with Heinrich.
    It took a little while, but Fortress was able to build a harness that would allow Heinrich to use his powers without blowing himself up.  In return Heinrich would become one of The Albino’s enforcers, a job to which he was quite well suited.

POWERS: Gauntlet is able to release his stores of energy into powerful point-blank blasts.  He can vary the energy for a variety of effects.  The suit he wears also affords him a great deal of protection.

PERSONALITY: Heinrich is an emotional cesspool who lives only to destroy.  Many have mistaken him for a racist.  This is not true; he hates everyone equally.  He works for Albino because she offers him the most opportunity to vent his self-hatred on the world.

APPEARANCE: Heinrich is six foot two, his dark blonde hair is worn short and careless.  He has hazel eyes that stare blankly at anything and everything and handsome features which are kept in a perpetual frown.
