Character:
Origins:  
Adam Bloodworth grew
up as a frail, spindly kid with  
Severe Combined Immune
Deficiency Syndrome
that required
him to live in a sterile
environment. Fortunately, Adam's
family was wealthy enough to
continue top-notch treatments
and make his life as comfortable
as possible. The best tutors were
hired to keep his mind engaged
and they all found Adam to have
an inexhaustible appetite for more
and more knowledge, from
quantum physics to poetry, from
applied mathematics to nuclear
engineering. In time Adam had
mastered a staggering array of
knowledge disciplines and had set
up an internet business as a
theoretical physics consultant. At
23, his medical condition
worsened and he was given only
months to live. He declined
rapidly, losing his hair, becoming
emaciated and experiencing great
pain that no medications seemed
to be able to blunt. Nearing death,
Adam became one of the few
humans affected by the global
phenomenon later dubbed
"The
Neogen Flux"
which caused a
dramatic alteration in his genetic
structure. Adam's pain immediately
subsided as he began to regain
strength and appetite. Within days
Adam was able to sit up in his bed,
was lucid and appeared to be
gaining weight. By the end of the
week, Adam's physique looked
better than it ever had. He was no
longer skinny and he even began
to appear more muscular without
working out. When a medical team
examined his blood, they found it
perfectly healthy with no trace of
his SCIDs disease. They were
floored however to find a chain of
blood cells inexplicably
morphing
from one type of cell to the next:

from  blood cells to skin cells to
bone cells to muscle cells and so
on. Flabbergasted, they dubbed
them
univercells. Adam was
overjoyed at his healthy turn and
instinctively felt his SCIDs ailment
was in
remission. He begged to
leave the sterile environment but
was refused. Frustrated and angry
he threw a text book across the
room and smashed a glass-topped
shade perched atop a heavy
torchiere. As it toppled over, the  
razor-sharp edge punctured a
hose and
breached the sealed
environment. After a few tense
moments and no ill effects, Adam's
suspicions were confirmed. The
family was ecstatic over their
newfound miracle, but Adam's
changes did not stop. He grew
freakishly large, more muscular,
more swollen, developed a heavy
brow, developed completely white
eyes and never regained his hair.
Though doctors could not confirm
any kind of infection, they were
unable to diagnose Adam's
condition. Their recommendation
was for Adam to take advantage of
the UN's offer to research
suspected victims of
"The Neogen
Flux."
Prior to arriving, Adam
stumbled onto an ability to
shapeshift his form into other
humans. It would prove to be just
the beginning of his scope of
changes, courtesy of his
univercellular structure.  
Powers:  Exerting the kind of
effort it would take to grit your
teeth and hold it, Corpus
can
assume and "hold"
the physical
appearance of any human and
their clothing.  The unique
univercells also afford him
instant
healing.
It would take nothing
short of complete cellular
destruction to kill Adam
Bloodworth because he
can
recreate his entire body
from a
single univercell through
instantaneous replication taking
less than a second. Shifting most
univercells to tough bone or
muscle, Corpus can create a
bodily structure
capable of
tremendous feats of strength.
 As
blood cells, Corpus
can flow like
water.
 By selectively eliminating
nerve cells, Adam
can suppress
pain.
Adam may stumble across
some
unknown measure of mind  
powers
if enough of his body
converted to brain cells.  Adam
uses self-deprecating humor as a
device to offset his displeasure
over his new relaxed-state
appearance although having the
option to shapeshift into a
Hollywood heart-throb Pitt may
hold certain advantages he has
yet to explore. Adam's rapid
shapeshifting abilities earned him
a classification as a unique
"chameleonic organism." By
psionically driving his
univercellular structure, he
triggers instantaneous changes.
Exigon, one of  the ANGEL Corps'
venerated combat systems
trainers, was the first one to
nickname him Corpus, a latin word
for "body" and an acronym for
Chamelonic Organism Regulating
Psionic Unvercellular
Stimulation.   
Strength Level Unassisted:
Class 1-B Macrohuman Human
Range.
Level 10.
Can press 1000 Lbs.
Strength Level Power-Assisted:
Class 4. Suprahuman Range.
Level 6.
Can press 60 Tons.
Arsenal:  Adam can create hand
held fighting weapons such as a
bo staff or nunchucks from his
own body, although if they are
knocked from his hand they will
vaporize into smoke. He can
always, however, replicate them
up again.
Fighting Prowess: Prior to the
martial arts training he is learning
now, Adam has had virtually no
training in any fighting disciplines.
His ability to become amorphous,
however, and nullify injuries gives
him an instant formidability that
would be challenging to counter.
Gear:
Standard Nanotech Armored
Protection Gear (SNAP-Gear),
lightweight uniforming system
equipped with onboard computer
array, variable feed power
sources, life-support, networking
and armored protection. A voice-
activated onboard computer ties
into tactical local and wide-area
networks using a “heads-up”
holographic transparent 17-inch
display panel while it monitors its
wearer’s physiology. A shield
mode provides operatives head-
to-toe protection.   
Adairian Adaptive memory
molecules enable SNAP-GEAR
uniforms to adapt to a host’s
application of wide arrays of
energies. SNAP-Gear is able to
transform into a small inventory of
various non-combat outfits pre-
loaded by its user.  
ANGEL Com (Communications
Device), a neural transceiver
implant that responds to basic
cybernetic commands. The device
utilizes ultra- sophisticated
cerebellinguistic algorithm codes
to translate human languages.
Once set, the device automatically
translates and feeds languages or
dialects in one’s native tongue
directly into the ear with an
average translatability percentage
ratio of 94.6% for all known
language patterns.
