[[folder: [[https://www.freedomplaybypost.com/topic/10785-mister-strix-pl8-grumblefloof-gold/ Mister Strix (Gaetano "Guy" Giordano)]]]]
* {{Expy}}: Instead of becoming the {{ComicBook/Huntress}}, Helena Bertinelli becomes {{ComicBook/Spawn}}. [[quoteright:161:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/misterstrix400px.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:161:Mister Strix]]
* AbsurdlySharpClaws: He can grow and retract them at will.
* AbusiveParents: He has two sets. His “traditional” parents hid behind their cultural identity as Italian-American Catholics living in a working-class neighborhood, but they would have been considered physically and emotionally abusive by the previous generation. His [[IHateYouVampireDad vampire sire]] is actively trying to [[MaddenIntoMisanthropy break his human spirit]], which, among other things, includes hunting him down once a year on his “birthday” to beat him within an inch of his life.
* AchillesHeel: Folklore and fiction are full of things reputed to harm and repel vampires, and almost all of them work on him.
%%* TheAgeless
* AlienBlood: His blood is so dark, in most lighting it appears to be black.
* AlliterativeName: “Gaetano/Guy Giordano” is alliterative in print, but not when spoken aloud.
%%* AnimalMotifs:
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: His costume invokes FeatheredFiend imagery, specifically {{Ominous Owl}}s.
%%* AntiHero
* ArchnemesisDad: His human father, Mo Giordano, is a capo in the Scarpia [[TheMafia Mafia]] family. His vampire [[IHateYouVampireDad sire]], [[MrSmith "Johann,"]] transformed him against his will as part of an elaborate revenge plot.
* ArmoredClosetGay: Both his older brother [[OverlordJr Matteo]], and his ([[DeathByOriginStory late]]) younger brother [[GoodShepherd Rafael]].
* AuraVision: Anyone who has it will see that he technically still has a [[OurSoulsAreDifferent soul]], but that it’s tattered, shredded, and stained with shadows and blood.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Before he was turned into a vampire against his will, he was a doctor who specialized in emergency medicine, and he’d spent time with [[{{NGO}} Doctors Without Borders]] in [[{{Qurac}} Libya]] and in [[{{Bulungi}} The Congo]].
* BadassBookworm: Before he was turned into a vampire, he was a doctor with no significant combat training. He still regularly spends nights hanging out in libraries.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: This is his vampire sire’s plan for him.
* BetterThanSex: Drinking blood.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He was a NiceGuy in his mortal life, but his vampire sire is trying to [[MaddenIntoMisanthropy madden him into misanthropy]], with mixed success.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: The irises and pupils of his eyes are both completely black. When he feeds or uses his powers, the darkness spreads, and his eyeballs become completely black.
* BlackMagic: The ultimate source of his existence and his powers.
* BleedEmAndWeep: He cried TearsOfBlood after his first feeding frenzy killed his little brother.
* BlessedWithSuck: He’s a powerful immortal, but he’s also a monster who’s lost everything he ever cared about.
* BloodMagic: His powers and his existence are fueled by the consumption of blood.
* BodyHorror: If he goes too long without drinking blood or sleeping in his home soil, then at first, he starts to suffer RapidAging. Then he starts falling down the SlidingScaleOfUndeadRegeneration, effectively becoming a RevenantZombie. Eventually, he’ll be reduced to a [[DemBones skeleton]]. But starvation and exhaustion won’t destroy him, and the effects will reverse once he gets the blood and restful sleep he needs.
* BurnTheUndead: [[KillItWithFire Fire]] ignores his SuperToughness and inflicts AntiRegeneration wounds upon him. He has an instinctive fear of fire, and when confronted with it, he must exert HeroicWillpower to avoid slipping into an UnstoppableRage where he flees the fire and brutally assaults anyone who gets in his way.
* CameBackWrong: After being dead for [[RuleOfThree three days]], he rose from his grave, immaculately preserved, as a NighInvulnerable [[HorrorHunger blood]]-drinking [[TheUndead Undead]] monster with a DamagedSoul and ComboPlatterPowers.
* CannibalismSuperpower: This works both ways. The blood of a DifferentlyPoweredIndividual or another [[OurMonstersAreDifferent supernatural creature]] can act as PowerUpFood for him; it can even give him [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands new powers]]. Meanwhile, consuming his blood can be SuperEmpowering for others.
* CastsNoShadow: He never has a shadow, regardless of the lighting around him (because he is basically a LivingShadow animating a dead body).
* ChestInsignia: His invokes {{Lunacy}} with a crescent moon.
%%* ChillOfUndeath
* ChurchMilitant: His younger brother, Rafael, wasn't just a [[GoodShepherd priest]], but a Vatican-sponsored HunterOfMonsters.
* CluelessDetective: He was a brilliant doctor in life, but he has no training as a detective. He fakes it with his vampire powers, which include {{Psychometry}} and TouchTelepathy through the consumption of blood.
* ComboPlatterPowers: His [[OurVampiresAreDifferent variety of vampire]] has enhanced physical abilities, mind control, limited shapeshifting, and possibly other abilities he hasn't figured out yet.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: He resembles a young Lee Van Cleef or Basil Rathbone.
* {{Confessional}}: His [[TheConfidant confidant]], Father Cesare Messina, hears his confessions.
* TheConfidant: After becoming a vampire, he went a year without human interaction. He saved the life of a retired priest, [[GoodShepherd Father Cesare Messina]], who quickly became his first post-mortem friend and SecretKeeper.
%%* CoolMask
* TheCorruption: Vampirism. BloodMagic is the mechanism that sustains his [[TheUndead undead]] existence and fuels his [[BadPowersGoodPeople powers]], but the ultimate source is the ''[[GratuitousGerman Schattenwelt]]'', AnotherDimension made of [[PureEnergy pure]] life-consuming [[LivingShadow darkness]].
* TheCowl: He's basically a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] pretending to be {{Franchise/Batman}}.
* CreepyGood: He’s a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]], but he’s also a [[VampireDetectiveSeries detective]] and a SuperHero.
* CreepyLongFingers: His hands and fingers are slightly too long in proportion to the rest of his body, and while they appear to have normal friction ridges, their touch, like his footsteps, never leaves any prints.
%%* CreepyShadowedUndereyes
* DaddysLittleVillain: His sister, Flora.
* DamagedSoul: His transformation into a vampire literally damaged his [[OurSoulsAreDifferent soul]], as anyone with AuraVision can see.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Guy’s father was an abusive [[TheMafia mafioso]]. He spent a year providing medical aid in two different war zones. He thought his little brother Rafael was just a GoodShepherd; he had no idea Rafael was a [[ChurchMilitant Vatican]]-sponsored [[HunterOfMonsters monster-hunter]]. Rafael killed a vampire, and that vampire’s sire, [[MrSmith “Johann,”]] wanted revenge. Johann turned Guy, and put Rafael in the path of Guy’s first [[UnstoppableRage feeding frenzy]]. After Guy drained his little brother dry, Johann [[WoodenStake staked him through the heart]] and kept his unconscious body [[HumanPopsicle in a box]] for [[FishOutOfTemporalWater five years]]. Guy woke up to learn that he’s LegallyDead, his widow [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy has a child with her new husband]], and he’s been transformed into an [[TheUndead undead monster]] who [[HorrorHunger preys upon the living]]. His vampire sire Johann plans to keep [[TraumaCongaLine tormenting]] him until he [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil breaks Guy’s human spirit]] and turns him into a [[MaddenIntoMisanthropy misanthropic monster]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: He didn't choose to become a vampire. He’s trying to use his powers for good, and he’s trying to divert his [[HorrorHunger thirst]] toward the most “worthy” targets.
* DaywalkingVampire: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Even indirect sunlight burns him.
* DeathByOriginStory: His little brother, and himself.
* DeathSeeker: His supernatural [[ICannotSelfTerminate self-preservation instinct]] doesn’t allow him to kill himself, but he would be grateful to anyone who ended his unholy existence.
* DeceasedAndDiseased: He's [[TheUndead Undead]] and a WalkingWasteland.
%%* DemBones
* DetectEvil: As a HumanoidAbomination, he shows up as “Evil” to such a power, regardless of his actual behavior.
* DisintegratorRay: These ignore his SuperToughness and inflict AntiRegeneration wounds upon him.
* DrivenToSuicide: He tried to commit SuicideBySunlight once. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero It backfired]].
%%* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* ElectromagneticGhosts: Even though most machines don’t directly register his presence, his passing can cause technological distortions, like static and tearing.
* EnemyToAllLivingThings: He is a HumanoidAbomination, and animals rightfully and instinctively hate and fear him. His touch, even his presence, can cause plants to wither and die.
* EnemyWithin: His variety of vampire has instincts for predation and self-preservation that a mortal can barely imagine. His undead body wants to drink all the blood it can get, sleep in the ground during the day, flee from The Sun, The Flame, and The Holy, and brutally murder anyone who seems like they might try to prevent it from doing any of those other things.
* EvilDetectingDog: His presence turns every animal into a hostile Evil-Detecting Animal.
%%* EvilEyebrows
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: The area around him is usually unnaturally cold. In his passing, windows fog up and water freezes. When viewed through an InfraredXRayCamera, he always looks colder than his surroundings.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Mo Giordano is an unrepentant gangster, but he didn't want that life for his children. He’s content to have his eldest son as a successor, but he was relieved when his two younger sons became a doctor and a priest.
* EvilSoundsDeep: When he feeds, uses his powers, or for some other reason puts on his GameFace, his voice drops an octave and gains an [[PowerEchoes echo]], and his growls and {{Mighty Roar}}s sound just like [[PantheraAwesome a lion or a tiger]].
%%* EvilTastesGood
* EyeOfNewt: His blood and body parts would work as components in all manner of magical rituals, potions, and other works.
%%* FakeMemories
* FangsAreEvil: When he feeds or uses his powers, all four of his canine teeth extend to two or three times their normal size, and become razor-sharp.
* FantasticCatholicism: His little brother [[GoodShepherd Rafael]] was a Catholic priest, and secretly part of a [[ChurchMilitant church-sponsored]] order of [[HunterOfMonsters monster-hunters]].
* FantasticDrug: His blood can trigger euphoria. The specific effect varies. For some people, it’s a stimulant, while for others, it’s a narcotic.
* FauxAffablyEvil: His vampire sire, “[[MrSmith Johann]],” presents as courteous and erudite at first, but the mask slips quickly.
* FightOffTheKryptonite: Sometimes he can muster enough HeroicWillpower to force his way past SupernaturalRepellent. When he does, his force of will may [[CrossMeltingAura destroy]] the SupernaturalRepellent.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: He spent five years with a stake through his heart, effectively in a deep coma. He’s still catching up on what he missed.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: He’s trying not to kill people, and he’s trying to only feed from “bad people.”
* FromASingleCell: Even if his body is completely burned or dissolved, if the pile of ashes or the puddle of sludge is mixed with [[ThePowerOfBlood blood]] under the light of a [[{{Lunacy}} full moon]], his body will re-form in time to rise on the next full moon.
* FullyEmbracedFiend: His vampire sire, [[MrSmith "Johann,"]] is trying to gradually turn him into it.
* GameFace: When he feeds or uses his powers, his facial features change significantly.
* GlamourFailure: He is always surrounded by signs of his [[HumanoidAbomination supernatural]] nature.
* GoodShepherd:
** His [[TheConfidant confidant]], Father Cesare Messina, is technically retired, but he still works as a “supply priest,” filling in as needed to give active priests days off.
** His late brother, Rafael, was one of these when he wasn't [[HunterOfMonsters killing vampires]].
* HauntedHeadquarters: By his very nature, any place in which he spends considerable time is “haunted.”
* HauntedHouse: He squats in one of the city’s many abandoned homes. He keeps his casket in the basement, with heavy debris blocking the entrance, which he bypasses with his [[SuperSmoke mist form]].
* HealingFactor: His body can heal most wounds instantly, and with time he can re-grow lost limbs or organs.
* HealingHands: His blood can act as a HealingPotion.
* HealingPotion: This is the most common effect of consuming his blood.
* HeavySleeper: He feels a powerful instinct to sleep during the day, and once he’s out, nothing short of physical assault will wake him up until sunset.
* HeroicWillpower: He uses this constantly to resist his supernatural instincts, and occasionally to force his way past SupernaturalRepellent.
* HollywoodAcid: These ignore his SuperToughness and inflict AntiRegeneration wounds upon him.
* HolyBurnsEvil: He can’t stand the sight of a “holy symbol” belonging to a deity associated with concepts like “[[GodOfGood Good]],” “Life,” “Light,” or “The Sun,” or “blessed”/”holy” items associated with such a deity, like “holy water” and communion wafers. He has the same instinctive fear of them as he does of fire. Their touch burns him, as does the touch of their shadow, and ingesting the blood of someone who has recently consumed them will injure him. He can't break or move through a line or circle made from holy items, or open a container with a holy item placed on top of it. He must use HeroicWillpower to move through a door or window with holy symbols or objects mounted above or around it.
* HolyHandGrenade: “Smite Evil” powers affect him as though he were “evil,” regardless of his personal behavior.
* HorrorHunger: His undead body craves blood above all else. For him, drinking blood is like the best sex, the best meal, and the best high, all rolled into one. Especially if it’s human blood, and especially if it’s fresh from the vein.
* HouseOfBrokenMirrors: He normally has no reflection, but if he stares into a mirror and concentrates, he can make a blurry image briefly appear. However, that effort will usually cause the mirror to spontaneously crack, or even shatter. Sometimes even walking past a mirror can be enough to break it. Mirrors can't hurt him or drive him into a fear-frenzy, but his instinct is to avert his gaze from them, and they can be wielded by another person to ward him off.
* HumanoidAbomination: He is a thing that should not be. He is the [[TheUndead living dead]], animated by darkness and sustained with the blood of the living. Machines ignore him, animals fear him, and plants wither at his touch.
%%* HumanPopsicle: He wasn't technically frozen.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: His default response to meeting another vampire is to try to destroy it. He thinks their existence is as “wrong” as his, and he has so much trouble reining in his monstrous instincts, it doesn't occur to him that other vampires would even try.
%%* HurtingHero
%%* HypnoticEyes
%%* IAmAMonster
* IAmNotMyFather: He became a doctor for the same reason his brother became a priest: To try to balance out their father’s crimes.
%%* ICannotSelfTerminate
%%* IHateYouVampireDad
* {{Immortality}}: He is TheUndead.
* ImmortalityHurts: The transformation into a vampire was as physically painful as it was emotionally devastating.
* ImmuneToBullets: They often don't penetrate further than skin-deep, if they break his skin at all. When they do, his HealingFactor quickly sews the holes shut.
* InASingleBound: His SuperStrength lets him jump good.
* InnateNightVision: He can see in darkness, because he '''is''' darkness.
%%* {{Invisibility}}
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: He understands that his widow is better off still thinking he’s dead (which he is), like she has for the last five years. He has no intention of disrupting the life she has with her new husband and their child.
* JockDadNerdSon: Mo Giordano is a capo with the Scarpia [[TheMafia Mafia]] family. His eldest boy is a chip off the old leg-breaking block, but his younger sons, Gaetano and Rafael, became a doctor and a priest, respectively (and now they’re both dead).
* KissOfTheVampire: The act of plunging his fangs into a person’s flesh and sucking the blood out of their veins causes their brain to release a rush of endorphins, drowning them in physical pleasure and making it difficult for them to understand what is happening, or to remember it clearly afterward. People can become addicted to this experience.
%%* LaserGuidedAmnesia
%%* LeanAndMean
* LegallyDead: There was a funeral and a grave and everything.
* LivingShadow: He’s basically one of these, animating and preserving a human corpse.
%%* LooksLikeCesare
* {{Lunacy}}: As both a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] and an [[AnimalThemedSuperbeing owl-themed superhero]], he makes extensive use of lunar motifs, most obviously with his ChestInsignia.
* MaddenIntoMisanthropy: This is his vampire sire's goal for him.
%%* MadeOfEvil
* TheMafia: His father, Mo Giordano, is a capo in the Scarpia family.
* MafiaPrincess: His sister, Flora, and to a lesser extent, his mother, Luna.
* TheMasquerade: He is not aware of any “vampire society” which might enforce this rule, but he tries to pass himself off as just another DifferentlyPoweredIndividual.
%%* MessyHair
%%* MindControl
* MissingReflection: Most machines simply do not acknowledge his presence. He has no reflection in mirrors or any other reflective surfaces. He does not show up in photographs or on video, digital or otherwise. His voice cannot be heard or recorded through radio or telephone. He doesn't show up on radar, sonar, or any kind of motion sensor. Automatic doors don’t even open for him. He can enter text with a keyboard, a scale will show his weight, and a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer will at least try to analyze a tissue sample from him, but that’s about it.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: When he feeds or uses his powers, his entire mouth doubles in size relative to the rest of his face, like [[Characters/MiddleEarthFilmSauronsEvilForces the film version of The Mouth of Sauron]].
* MrSmith: His vampire sire has so far only identified himself as “Johann,” the German form of “John.”
%%* My GodWhatHaveIDone
* MyGreatestFailure: His only kill so far was his little brother, Rafael, right after he [[RiseFromYourGrave dug out of his own grave]], [[UnstoppableRage mad]] with [[ImmortalityHurts pain]] and [[HorrorHunger thirst]]. He’s had a couple of [[WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere near misses]] since then, when starvation, injury, and/or fear has driven him into a [[UnstoppableRage feeding frenzy]]. He almost killed an innocent bystander after trying to survive for too long on [[VegetarianVampire animal blood]], and again after he tried to commit SuicideBySunlight, but failed to overcome his [[ICannotSelfTerminate supernatural sense of self-preservation]].
* MysteriousProtector: What he tries to be for his city, and especially for his grieving family.
* NaturalWeapon: The fangs, claws, horns, etc. of other [[OurMonstersAreDifferent supernatural creatures]], such as [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]], [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragons]], [[TheFairFolk faeries]], [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves]], and other [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]], bypass his SuperToughness and inflict AntiRegeneration wounds.
%%* TheNeedless
* NiceGuy: Who he was before he was turned into a vampire.
%%* NiceJobBreakingItHero
%%* NighInvulnerability
* NightmareFace: He can turn his face into a SupernaturalFearInducer. He doesn't fully understand that he's turning his face into a conduit for the ''Schattenwelt''. He's giving his enemies a glimpse of the literal [[DarknessEqualsDeath "Abyss."]]
* NoiselessWalker: His footsteps never make a sound, or leave any tracks.
* NonActionGuy: In life, he was a doctor, with no combat training. Now he’s a [[SuperStrength super-strong]], [[SuperSpeed super-fast]] vampire, who [[UnskilledButStrong still doesn't have any real combat training]].
* TheNoseKnows: He can smell a drop of blood from a mile away, and when he tastes it, he can learn the kind of information that would make a crime lab jealous.
* OccultDetective: A vampire superhero is this by default. Though he [[CluelessDetective isn't much of a detective]], he’s likely to run into other supernatural creatures.
* OffWithHisHead: Decapitation won’t kill him, but it will knock him unconscious, and he’ll stay that way while his head is kept separated from his body. He’ll bleed out and his flesh will decay, so he’ll appear to be dead. But if his head and body are reunited, they’ll reconnect, and he’ll [[HealingFactor get better]].
* OurSoulsAreDifferent: He technically still has one, but it’s not in great shape.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: He’s not the “technically alive” variety; he’s explicitly supernatural and definitely dead. He’s the {{Dracula}} style “Cursed by God” type. He doesn't have to worry about running water or being invited into a residence, but he has just about every other weakness and “quirk” assigned to vampires in fiction and folklore.
%%* OurZombiesAreDifferent
* OverlordJr: His older brother, Matteo, is a thug just like his father.
* OverlyLongTongue: When he feeds or uses his powers, his tongue grows to two to three times its normal length, and tapers to almost a point.
* PerceptionFilter: He can use MindControl to force people to ignore his presence.
* PowerEchoes: Especially [[EvilSoundsDeep evil]] power.
* PowerNullifier: [[WeakenedByTheLight Sunlight]] suppresses his powers, as do bonds made from [[SilverHasMysticPowers silver]], or some other form of SupernaturalRepellent (such as ropes that have been soaked in [[HolyBurnsEvil holy water]], or had [[VampiresHateGarlic garlic]] or [[SaltSolution salt]] rubbed into them). He can't break such bonds, no matter how flimsy they are.
* ProtectiveCharm: If worn around the neck, most types of SupernaturalRepellent ([[VampiresHateGarlic garlic]], [[HolyBurnsEvil holy symbols]], [[SilverHasMysticPowers silver jewelry]], etc.) prevent him from being able to bite or mind-control the wearer. [[ShapeshifterModeLock He can't use]] his [[SuperSmoke mist form]] to escape such bonds, either.
* PsychicLink: This can happen if someone drinks his blood.
* {{Psychometry}}: [[ThePowerOfBlood Blood carries psychic resonance]]. When he tastes someone's blood, he can read their mind and experience their memories.
* PsychoSerum: His blood can cause addiction, hallucinations, and aggressive behavior.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: His severed limbs and organs will re-attach if brought back into contact with his body. Even if his body is reduced to [[ChunkySalsaRule chunky salsa]], it will eventually pull itself together and re-solidify.
* RedRightHand: Even when he was alive, he would've been typecast as a villain.
* ReligiousVampire: He had a Catholic background, but he didn't really buy into it until after he was transformed into a vampire. He sees his curse as proof that God is real. But [[HolyBurnsEvil holy symbols still hurt him]].
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Outside of a narrow set of circumstances, he will eventually get back up. [[OffWithHisHead Beheading]] him and/or [[WoodenStake staking him through the heart]] will suppress his HealingFactor, but only while his heart is impaled and/or while his head is kept separate from his body. He can be put down indefinitely if his body is completely burned (disintegration, fire, sunlight) or dissolved (acid, holy water), but outside assistance can still bring him back.
* ReviveKillsZombie: “Healing” powers hurt him.
* RiseFromYourGrave: He rose from the dead [[RuleOfThree three nights]] after he died. His vampire sire, [[MrSmith "Johann,"]] let him be buried, so that he would have to dig himself out of his own grave. Johann wanted him even more mad with hunger and pain than he normally would've been from the vampiric transformation.
* RuleOfThree: His vampire sire, [[MrSmith "Johann,"]] drank his blood on three consecutive nights, and forced him to drink Johann's blood on three consecutive nights. Then he died, and three days later, he [[RiseFromYourGrave rose]].
* SaltSolution: Salt doesn't decay in his presence like most food. Touching "pure" salt will burn him, as will ingesting the blood of someone who has recently consumed it. He can't break or move through a line or circle made of salt, or open a container if salt has been poured on top of it.
* SecretIdentity: As far as the rest of the world knows, Guy Gaetano is dead and buried. Most people don't know that Guy is Mister Strix, or that either of them are vampires.
%%* SecretKeeper: [[GoodShepherd Father Cesare Messina]].
* SenseLossSadness: He used to love to cook, especially the traditional French and Italian recipes his mother [[MeaningfulName Luna]] taught him. He grew up loving the smell of his mother's espresso, and he started drinking it by the gallon as soon as he could get away with it. But now that he's a vampire, "Food doesn't smell like '''food''' anymore." (And since he's a WalkingWasteland, if he did try to cook anything or brew up a cup for someone else, half the ingredients would rot as soon as he walked into the kitchen. [[{{Angst}} Even these little things that made his life worth living were taken from him.]]
* SilverHasMysticPowers: The touch of silver burns him, and weapons made from it bypass his SuperToughness and inflict AntiRegeneration wounds. He’s incapacitated if his heart is impaled with a silver weapon.
%%* SinisterSchnoz
%%* SlidingScaleOfUndeadRegeneration: He's a solid 4.
%%* SmallStepsHero
* SpookySilentLibrary: He was a bookworm in life, and in death he still finds public libraries comforting. His powers allow him to ignore any locks, alarms, or guards who might interfere with his night reading. He also spends time researching his [[OurVampiresAreDifferent condition]], and the events of the [[FishOutOfTemporalWater five years]] he spent asleep with a stake in his heart.
* StalkerWithACrush: His vampire sire, [[MrSmith "Johann,"]] transformed Guy into a vampire so that Guy could eventually (after he's been [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil broken]]) take the place of the "child" Guy's brother [[HunterOfMonsters Rafael]] destroyed. Johann's "children" are an unholy mix of family, friends, and lovers.
%%* StealthExpert: His vampire super powers make him this.
* StealthHiBye: His preferred method of beginning and ending conversations, if he has to have them at all.
* StrongerWithAge: This is the case for [[MrSmith “Johann”]] and all of his brood, and it will be for Guy, too, if he (un-)lives long enough.
* SuicideBySunlight: He tried it once. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero It backfired]].
* SuperheroesWearCapes: He wears a BadassCape large enough to be considered an [[AllEncompassingMantle, with the edge cut to resemble [[AnimalThemedSuperbeing the feathers on a bird’s wings]].
%%* SuperheroesWearTights
* SuperhumanTransfusion: Humans can gain temporary super powers from his blood, like SuperStrength.
* SupernaturallyDeliciousAndNutritious: The blood of DifferentlyPoweredIndividuals and other [[OurMonstersAreDifferent supernatural creatures]] is usually tastier and more nourishing than the blood of human {{Muggles}}.
* SupernaturalRepellent: There are plenty of things that humans find harmless but which limit his movements and cause him damage or discomfort.
* SuperpowerLottery: He has a breadth of powers on par with {{Franchise/Superman}}, ComicBook/MartianManhunter, or ComicBook/TheVision.
%%* SuperReflexes
%%* SuperSenses
* SuperSmoke: He can transform into a cloud of mist, which can fly like hurricane-force winds.
%%* SuperSpeed
%%* SuperStrength
* SuperToughness: His flesh feels human, but it resists trauma like a mix of silk and Kevlar.
%%* SuperWeight: He’s a solid 3.
%%* TerrorHero
* TaintedVeins: When he feeds, uses his powers, or exerts himself, his veins bulge and appear to be black, like his [[AlienBlood blood]].
* TearsOfBlood: If he cries, the tears are blood.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: His own brother, no less.
%%* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs
%%* ThinChinOfSin
* TranshumanTreachery: His vampire sire, “[[MrSmith Johann]],” thinks of humans as toys and cattle, when he thinks of them at all, and he's trying to bring Guy around to the same point of view.
* TraumaCongaLine: His vampire sire, [[MrSmith "Johann,"]], has already inflicted this upon him, and plans to keep it going until [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil he breaks]].
* TurnUndead: Another person can wield a holy symbol, a mirror, or a piece of garlic to hold him at bay. In the case of a holy symbol, it doesn't matter if the person wielding it is a believer; the wielder doesn't even need to know what the symbol represents. He has to win a battle of wills to advance toward the wielder, and unless he does, he can't physically or psychically attack them, or anyone behind them.
* UnbreakableBones: His bones are as light as a human's, but they're harder than stone.
%%* TheUndead
* UndeathlyPallor: His skin is always unnaturally pale.
* UnskilledButStrong: He has super powers, but he still doesn’t know much about fighting that he didn’t learn from film and television.
* UnstoppableRage: What happens if he goes too long without feeding, or even if he tries to subsist too long on low-quality blood. Also what happens if he's cornered by sunlight, fire, or holy symbols.
%%* UsedToBeASweetKid
%%* VampireDetectiveSeries: The exploits of a vampire superhero will be this by default.
* VampiresHateGarlic: And wolf’s bane. They have the same effects as holy symbols and salt. They are the only plants that don’t die when he gets near them.
* VampiresSleepInCoffins: He doesn’t strictly need to sleep in a casket, but he does need shelter from sunlight and the soil of his homeland, and his casket is an efficient way to meet those needs.
%%* VampiricDraining: Obviously.
* VegetarianVampire: He can't be this. He tried, but [[NiceJobBreakingItHero it backfired]].
%%* VillainousCheekbones
%%* VoluntaryShapeshifting
* VoluntaryVampireVictim: The experience of being fed upon can be addictive.
* WalkingWasteland: The effect is random, not constant, but more often than not, his passing leaves death and decay. Plants turn brown and fall limp, sometimes even crumbling into ash. Breads and cheeses prematurely mold. Milk curdles. Wine turns to vinegar. Pregnant animals spontaneously miscarry.
%%* WallCrawl
%%* WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere
%%* WasOnceAMan
* WeakenedByTheLight: Sunlight [[PowerNullifier suppresses his powers]] and burns him. It doesn't matter how much sunlight there is, or whether the light is “direct.” If he can see it, then there’s enough to burn him. He has the same instinctive fear of sunlight as he does of fire.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Even though his father was an abusive gangster, he still loved him. He became a doctor, partly to help balance out the evil his father had done, and partly so that his father would be proud of him. His little brother Rafael became a priest for the same reasons.
%%* WhatHaveIBecome
* WoodenStake: Impaling his heart with a wooden stake (or a [[SilverHasMysticPowers silver]] blade, or a blade that’s been coated with [[VampiresHateGarlic garlic]] or [[SaltSolution salt]]) won’t kill him, but it will knock him unconscious, and keep him that way until the stake is removed. He’ll bleed out and his flesh will decay, so he’ll appear to be dead.

* AchillesHeel: He's [[HandicappedBadass completely deaf]], and his visual and olfactory SuperSenses leave him vulnerable to SensoryOverload.
%% * TheAdjectivalSuperhero: “The Outrageous Octoman”, “The Obnoxious Octoman”.
* ArchEnemy: Goanna, a canon ''TabletopGame/FreedomCity'' villain who's been slightly [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] from being an straightforward {{Expy}} of [[Characters/SpiderManRoguesGalleryIToZ The Lizard]] and [[Characters/BatmanRoguesGalleryPart2 Man-Bat]] (a niche already occupied by [[SharkMan Megalodon]]), into more of a hybrid {{Expy}} of that and the ''[[Characters/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate]]'' version of [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn Green Goblin]].
* AlienBlood: (He's technically a human mutate, not an alien.) His blood is [[PurpleIsPowerful purple]], since it contains both hemoglobin (red) and hemocyanin (blue). It's also thicker and more viscous than normal blood, pumped through his veins by three powerful hearts and contained under [[HighPressureBlood high pressure]].
* AllJewsAreAshkenazi: Played with. His parents were both raised Jewish, but only his father's ethnic background includes Ashkenazi ancestry.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: His mother is a Puerto Rican Afro-Latina. His father is half-Filipino, half-Ashkenazi. No one guesses his ethnicity on the first try.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: He modeled his costume after the blue-ringed octopus whose bite gave him his powers.
* AscendedFanboy: He was Geckoman's biggest fan for years before he got his own powers.
%%* AsianAndNerdy: He's one-quarter Filipino, from his father's side.
%%* Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny
* AttentionWhore: As the only child of two [[WhenYouComingHomeDad workaholics]], he's a typical case.
%%* BadPowersGoodPeople: His powers are downright [[LovecraftianSuperpower Lovecraftian]].
%%* BadassBookworm
* BizarreAlienBiology: He's technically a human mutate, not an alien, but he's been transformed into a human/cephalopod hybrid.
%%* BlackAndNerdy: His mother is Afro-Latina.
%%* BladeBelowTheShoulder: More like Tentacle Below The Shoulder.
* BlueIsHeroic: His "costume" is covered in blue rings.
%%* BodyHorror: His powers are downright [[LovecraftianSuperpower Lovecraftian]].
%%* BrilliantButLazy
%%* BuildingSwing: With his CombatTentacles.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's got the makings of a good superhero, but in spite of his personality, not because of it.
* CeilingCling: He can do this because of the vacuum-sealing suckers on his hands, feet, and CombatTentacles. In any given room, [[CharacterTic he's more likely than not to be doing this, even during casual conversations.]]
%%* ChameleonCamouflage: Part of his VoluntaryShapeshifting.
* CharacterTic: He’s usually [[CeilingCling upside-down]], and he talks with his hands.
* ChestInsignia: [[NumerologicalMotif The number "8" inside an octagon]].
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He's [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny easily distracted]], his [[MoodSwinger mood changes suddenly and frequently]], he often [[MotorMouth doesn't stop talking]] long enough to hear people correct his erroneous assumptions, and even though he's a skilled [[ReadingLips lip reader]], his [[HandicappedBadass deafness]] exacerbates all of these factors. He also sincerely doesn't understand that his hero-worship of Geckoman is the exception, not the rule. (Geckoman saved his life in flamboyant fashion when he was a small child, which made a lifelong impression on him, but he doesn't get that this hasn't happened to most people, even in ''TabletopGame/FreedomCity''.)
* ColorCodedEmotions: His VoluntaryShapeshifting makes this happen in-universe.
%% * CombatParkour: His SuperReflexes and CombatTentacles let him do this.
* CombatTentacles: They can [[VariableLengthChain stretch until they're hundreds of feet long]]. He's able to retract them into his arms and torso when not in use, because he has extra room in there on account of [[RubberMan not having a skeleton]]).
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Music/BrunoMars, whose own ethnic background was the basis for Octoman's.
* ConfusionFu: His fighting style, thanks to a mix of having SuperReflexes, SuperStrength, and CombatTentacles, and being UnskilledButStrong.
%% * ConsummateLiar: He's a good fast-talker, in every sense of the phrase.
* CoveredWithScars: They only appear to be scars. They're actually folds of skin, which open up to reveal his [[WallCrawl suckers]], gills, and the [[LovecraftianSuperpower orifices]] he uses for [[InASingleBound jet propulsion]], to deploy his CombatTentacles, and to [[AHandfulForAnEye spray ink]] at his enemies.
%%* CreepyGood: His powers are downright [[LovecraftianSuperpower Lovecraftian]].
* {{Cthulhumanoid}}: The tentacles come out of his arms and his torso, not his face. But his biology is a hybrid of human and cephalopod.
* CuckooSnarker: Often it seems like he's in his own world, or at least viewing the world through a different set of lenses from most people. But he can TrashTalk with the best of 'em.
* DangerousSixteenthBirthday: His powers were the result of an accident when he was 15.
%%* DashingHispanic: His mother is Afro-Latina.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* DisabledSnarker: The accident which gave him his powers also completely deafened him, but it didn't [[MotorMouth shut him up]].
* EscapeArtist: He's a RubberMan with no skeleton, which allows him to slip free from bonds and squeeze through any opening that isn't water-tight.
%%* EvilCounterpart: Goanna.
* ExpressiveMask: Because [[TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter it's actually his face]].
%%* FanBoy: Of Geckoman.
* FormFittingWardrobe: Because [[TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter it's actually his skin]].
* FreakLabAccident: Combined with a freak traffic accident. He got his powers because he ran to save a dog from the path of a speeding truck which turned out to be carrying an escaping supervillain and his experimental animals. The truck crashed after it hit him, freeing the animals, one of whom was the blue-ringed octopus whose [[NuclearMutant irradiated]] and [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetically-modified]] venom transformed Ben into a human/cephalopod hybrid.
* FullFrontalAssault: As a TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter, every fight is this, whether his foes realize it or not.
%% * FunPersonified: He tries to keep it light.
* FunnyOctopus: He's a FunPersonified superhero with a [[AnimalThemedSuperbeing cephalopod motif]].
* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: The DNA of the octopus who gave him his powers had been altered with a retrovirus.
%%* GeniusSlob
%% * GoodParents: His are basically this. Being [[WhenYouComingHomeDad workaholics]] is their only real flaw.
* GuileHero: He's good at confusing and misdirecting villains with his MotorMouth.
* AHandfulForAnEye: He can spray ink from the [[LovecraftianSuperpower new orifices]] in his hands and feet.
* HandicappedBadass: The accident which gave him his powers also completely deafened him.
* HandsOffParenting: His parents [[WhenYouComingHomeDad don't really have time to be parents]].
* HealingFactor: A relatively weak one. He doesn't really heal "faster", just "better" (though he can regrow lost limbs and organs).
* HeroicBystander: He got his powers because [[HeroicBystander he ran to save a dog]] from the path of a speeding truck which turned out to be carrying an escaping supervillain and his experimental animals. The truck crashed after it hit him, freeing the animals, one of whom was the blue-ringed octopus whose [[NuclearMutant irradiated]] and [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetically-modified]] venom transformed Ben into a human/cephalopod hybrid.
* HiddenInPlainSight: He can do this with his ChameleonCamouflage and VoluntaryShapeshifting.
* HighPressureBlood: It's thick like syrup, and pumped by three powerful hearts.
* HumanDisguise: He uses his VoluntaryShapeshifting to re-create his original appearance, before he was mutated.
* HumanOutsideAlienInside: He's been mutated to the point where he looks very different on the inside from a normal human. An x-ray would reveal his lack of a skeleton and several new organs and muscular structures.
* IdealIllnessImmunity: His powers include a superhuman immune system.
* InASingleBound: His body has a network of air bladders and siphons which give him biological jet propulsion. He can violently expel air or water through [[LovecraftianSuperpower tubes and orifices]] in his hands and feet, launching himself through the water or into the air.
%%* InnateNightVision
%% * {{Invisibility}}: His ChameleonCamouflage lets him do this.
%% * IrislessEyeMaskOfMystery: Created with VoluntaryShapeshifting.

The truck crashed after it hit him, freeing the animals, one of whom was the blue-ringed octopus whose [[NuclearMutant irradiated]] and [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetically-modified]] venom transformed Ben into a human/cephalopod hybrid.
%%* JewishAndNerdy: His mother's family were part of Puerto Rico's Jewish minority, and his father is half-Ashkenazi.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Geckoman saved his life when he was 7 years old. He's wanted to be a superhero ever since.
* KidHero: He got his powers at age 15, and became a superhero at 16.
%% * LargeHam
%% * LeParkour: He engages in this thanks to SuperReflexes, SuperStrength, and {{Wall Crawl}}ing.
* Lovecraftian Superpower: He has [[RubberMan no skeleton]]. His whole body is muscle. He has [[SpareBodyParts three hearts]], which pump thick, syrupy [[AlienBlood purple blood]] through his veins at [[HighPressureBlood high pressure]]. He can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting change the colors and textures of his skin to perfectly mimic his surroundings, or any object or creature]]. Folds of skin on his neck, torso, forearms, the palms of his hands, and the soles of his feet open to reveal gills and new orifices. The orifices on his back, sides, and forearms contain retractable prehensile [[CombatTentacles tentacles]], which can each [[VariableLengthChain stretch for hundreds of feet]]. The smaller folds of skin on his tentacles and on the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet can open to deploy suckers, which he can [[TheNoseKnows smell]] through, and which can create a vacuum seal against a surface which allows him to WallCrawl. A series of air bladders and tubes allow him to violently expel air or water from the orifices in his hands and feet, launching him through the water or [[InASingleBound into the air]]. They also allow him to spew ink produced by a new organ, either directly [[AHandfulForAnEye into the face]] of his enemy, or into the water or air to create [[SmokeOut an opaque cloud]] (the ink evaporates into smoke in open air). He has a second tongue under his original one, which can [[OverlyLongTongue telescope]] out a full meter in a fraction of a second, with a set of pincers on the end like an octopus beak, which can inject [[TheParalyzer paralytic]] venom produced by new glands at the base of his jaw.
%% * MasterOfDisguise: Thanks to his VoluntaryShapeshifting.
* MeaningfulName: Geckoman's real name, "Chris Kenzie", was a ShoutOut to [[{{Franchise/Superman}} Clark Kent]]. "Ben Wang" is the same for [[{{Franchise/Batman}} Bruce Wayne]].
%% * MetronomicManMashing: He can do this with a combination of CombatTentacles and SuperStrength.
%%* MoodSwinger
* MotorMouth: He doesn't stop talking.
%%* MouthyKid
* NestedMouths: He has [[LovecraftianSuperpower a second tongue]] under his original one, which can [[OverlyLongTongue telescope]] out a full meter in a fraction of a second, with a set of pincers on the end like an octopus beak, which can inject [[TheParalyzer paralytic]] venom produced by new glands at the base of his jaw.
%% * NewTransferStudent: To the [[SuperheroSchool Claremont Academy]], at the start of his sophomore year.
%% * TheNicknamer: His favorite brand of TrashTalk.
%%* TheNoseKnows
* NumerologicalMotif: The number "8".
* OlderAlterEgo: He briefly tried to pass himself off as an adult hero, but even with VoluntaryShapeshifting, no one was buying it.
* OrangeBlueContrast: Technically, his "[[TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter costume]]" uses a yellow/blue contrast, but since yellow is only one step away from orange on the color wheel, the effect is similar.
* OverlyLongTongue: He has [[LovecraftianSuperpower a second tongue]] under [[NestedMouths his original one]], which can telescope out a full meter in a fraction of a second, with a set of pincers on the end like an octopus beak, which can inject [[TheParalyzer paralytic]] venom produced by new glands at the base of his jaw.
* TheParalyzer: He has [[LovecraftianSuperpower a second tongue]] under his original one, which can telescope out a full meter in a fraction of a second, with a set of pincers on the end like an octopus beak, which can inject paralytic venom produced by new glands at the base of his jaw.
* PermaShave: The accident which gave him his powers also caused all his hair to fall out, permanently.
%%* PlayfulHacker
* PlayingWithSyringes: Goanna was doing this with the octopus who bit Ben and gave him his powers.
%% * PopCulturedBadass: Ben is "extremely online".
%%* PowerUpgradingDeformation: His powers are positively [[LovecraftianSuperpower Lovecraftian]].
* PrettyBoy: He still is, though not as much as he was before his accident. He uses his VoluntaryShapeshifting to temporarily reclaim his old looks.
* PubertySuperpower: Ben didn't gain his powers ''from'' puberty, but he gained them shortly ''after'' puberty.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His blood is purple, because it contains both hemoglobin (red) and hemocyanin (blue).
* RadiationInducedSuperpowers: The octopus whose bite gave him his powers was irradiated.
* ReadingLips: As a [[HandicappedBadass deaf superhero]], he relies heavily on this. His [[SuperSenses enhanced vision]] helps.
%% * RoofHopping: His preferred mode of transportation.
* RubberMan: A limited example. His CombatTentacles and OverlyLongTongue are the only body parts which can stretch, but his whole body can compress and contort enough to [[EscapeArtist slip free from any bonds]], or fit through any opening that isn't water-tight.
* SadClown: He never met an emotion he couldn't cover up with a joke, or, if he can't think of one, just a [[MotorMouth stream of babble]]. He's particularly self-conscious about his recently acquired [[HandicappedBadass disability]], and the visible signs of his mutation, like his baldness, [[SupernaturalGoldEyes discolored eyes]], and "[[CoveredWithScars scars]]". He covers those up with his VoluntaryShapeshifting, but he can't maintain that indefinitely.
%%* SecretIdentity
* SensoryOverload: His [[TheNoseKnows enhanced smell]] and InnateNightVision leave him vulnerable to this. Meanwhile, he's completely immune to any auditory overload, since he's completely [[HandicappedBadass deaf]].
* SensoryTentacles: His tentacles have suckers all the way down, which he can [[TheNoseKnows smell and taste]] through.
* SmokeOut: The octopus ink he can spray from the [[LovecraftianSuperpower new orifices]] in his hands and feet evaporates in open air, so he can use it to create a "smoke cloud" both above and under water.
* SomethingPerson: "Octoman".
* SpareBodyParts: He has three hearts. The [[WallCrawl suckers]] on his hands, feet, and [[CombatTentacles tentacles]] are effectively extra [[TheNoseKnows noses and mouths]].
%%* SpiderLimbs: His tentacles can act as these.
* StealthExpert: Thanks to his his VoluntaryShapeshifting, which ChameleonCamouflage, and his {{Wall Crawl}}ing.
* StumbledIntoThePlot: He got his powers because [[HeroicBystander he ran to save a dog]] from the path of a speeding truck which turned out to be carrying an escaping supervillain and his experimental animals. The truck crashed after it hit him, freeing the animals, one of whom was the blue-ringed octopus whose [[NuclearMutant irradiated]] and [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetically-modified]] venom transformed Ben into a human/cephalopod hybrid.

%% * SuperheroSobriquets: “The Crime-Fighting Kraken”, “The Loudmouth Leviathan”.

%% * TentacleRope: One of his most often used moves.
%% * ThinkingOutLoud: He does this a lot.
%% * ThreePointLanding: He strikes this pose often.

%% * TrashTalk: In every fight, to his dying breath.
* TraumaticHaircut: The accident which gave him his powers also caused all his hair to fall out, permanently.
%%* TripleShifter
* UpbringingMakesTheHero: Despite being [[WhenYouComingHomeDad workaholics]], his parents are basically [[GoodParents good]].
%% * UnskilledButStrong: Like many [[KidHero teen heroes]], he's got more raw power than he does training or experience.
%% * VariableLengthChain: His tentacles can stretch until they're hundreds of feet long.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can change the color and texture of his flesh to mimic objects or other people, or to turn [[{{Invisibility}} invisible]].
%% * WallCrawl: He can do this because of the vacuum-sealing suckers on his hands, feet, and CombatTentacles.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: His parents, a bakery/deli manager and a public defender, are both workaholics.
