I-FORCE
Name: Paul Leon Michaelson
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Crystal Blue
Height: 6'4"/7'6"
Weight: 220 Lbs./1,200 Lbs.
Birth Country: USA
Birth City: Buffalo, New York
Occupation:  Honorary Global
Security Advisor Pro-Tem, ANGEL
Corps Squad Leader, former Fire
Fighter for Squad 17 in Brooklyn
Group Affiliation: ANGEL Corps,
Unified Nations
Base of Operations: The Synidome
Character: Respectful, down-to-
earth, gritty, resourceful,  
motivated, humanitarian. Believes
in mankind's potential.
Origins:  As a New York fire fighter
out of Brooklyn, Paul's squad
responded to a fire at the
Brooklyn Museum where he
became exposed to vast amounts
of raw sorcerous energy that was
stored for hundreds of years
within the Eye of Force, a
mysterious artifact tracing back to
ancient times. The unleashed
energies changed Paul's genetic
code enabling him to absorb and
store any form of energy and then
re-deploy it in a number of
incredibly powerful ways. After
deep introspection, Paul decided
to renounce official affiliations
with any one country and
dedicated all his time to become
an independent global force for
humanity. Early in Paul's career, a
madman gravimetrically anchored
a planet-destroying device that
prevented all human attempts to
defeat it met with failure, making
the doomsday device an Earth-
shattering "immovable object."
Paul ultimately was able to muscle
the immovable object and
transport it safely into outer space
where it exploded harmlessly. The
mainstream media went nuts,
played on his good looks and
hyped the angle that Paul was the
"Irresistable Force" it took to
defeat the deadly "Immovable
Object" and save the world. Paul's
new monicker was soon
shortened to just -Force, a name
that stuck for good.  His widely
publicized feats quickly earned
him planetary adulation over the
years whether he was using his
newfound power to minimize
natural disasters, fight menacing
threats or maximize global relief.
I-Force regards himself as a
protector for humanity and an
upholder for legal justice, but his
unique powers made him well-
suited to assist with global
security as well. An offer was
made and Paul accepted a
position as a Unified Nations
Honorary Global Security Advisor
Pro-Tem. When the global
"Neogen Flux" event began
unfolding, Paul became inolved in
UN efforts to investigate the
phenomenon and to perhaps learn
more about humans undergoing
changes not unlike his own. But in
the orientation session, asteroids
inexplicably broke through the
atmosphere. Once detected,
I-Force rocketed to intercept the
deadly rain, and six other gifted
humans from six different nations
stepped up to assist.  Averting
widescale disaster, I-Force then
proposed that the seven of them
form a permanent partnership to
protect the Earth. A UN-sponsored
corps of Alliance Nations Guarding
Earth Life, or ANGEL Corps, was
born.
Powers:  I-Force absorbs and
stores any form of energy (kinetic,
potential, thermal, gravitational,
sound, light, elastic, and
electromagnetic) and can re-
deploy the energy in a wide array
of applications:

BLUE ENERGY
I-SHIELDS
- I-Shields. Impervious.
Able to be
psionically shaped into force
shielding or manipulatable anti-
gravity constructs.
Light blue glow.

RED ENERGY
I-SIGHT
- I-Locationing. Impeller.
By virtue
of a stream of pulsed waves,
enables a spatial imaging system
that allows I-Force to see through
objects. This pulse wave is “on”
all the time and gives I-Force a
“threat sense” that alerts him to
incoming attacks, triggering his
I-Shields automatically.
Usually no
visible manifestation.
- I-Vision. Intergalactic. Allows
I-Force to see telescopically with a
resolution of .098 arc seconds and
able to detect 30th magnitude
celestial objects. This degree of
resolution would enable I-Force to
read the year off of a quarter a
mile and a half away.  
Dark red
beam.
- I-Sensors. Imaging. Allows I-
Force to detect a broad spectrum
of energies; thermal,
electromagnetic, magnetic,
nuclear, chemical, radiation,
ultraviolet, etc.
Solid red beam.

WHITE ENERGY
I-POWER
- I-Strength. Inestimable.
Extremely powerful Class 7
Megahuman level strength. In a
relaxed state, I-Force can lift 100
tons. In a power-assisted mode,
I-Force has lifted and flown with
the Glory of the Seas, the largest
cruise ship in the world weighing
in over 220,000 tons with room to
spare. As his strength increases,
I-Force's physique augments
accordingly. His upper limits are
not yet known. This energy also
enhances I-Force's speed,
reaction and response times. His
ground speed has been clocked
at over 300 miles per hour.
White
glow.
- I-Flight. Impulse. In Earth's
atmosphere, can employ psionic
propulsion to achieve hypersonic
Mach 10 at 2 miles per second or
about 7500 mph.  In space, free of
dragging elements, it is theorized
that I-Force may be able to
approach light speeds.
White
contrail.
I-ATTACKS
- I-Beam. Impact.
Able to be
beamed out as concussive beams
able to strike with the force of 3
gigawatts, more than enough to
rupture steel plating and solid
rock.
Solid white beam.
I-Beam. Incendiary. Searing
plasma heat beam.
White beam,
wide or narrow, with a red core.
I-Beam. Ice. Sub-zero temperature
field.
White beam, wide or narrow,
with a blue core.

I-Force has sophisticated and
powerful energy manipulation
powers, able to split his energies
into several powers at once.
However, if I-Force is using 100%
of his energies for a feat of
strength, he would having nothing
left to fuel any other powers.

I-Force's replenishing absorption
reaches an energy set point and
he then operates from that level.
I-Force can willfully continue to
absorb far beyond his working
capacity but those upper limits
have not been sufficiently tested
because of the discomfort
involved. Moreover, he would
ultimately require a massive
release that some experts project
could potentially match the energy
released in a massive solar flare
or 6×10
25 joules of energy (about a
sixth of the total energy output of
the Sun each second). As such,
this is an extremely dangerous
ability with which to experiment.
Strength Level Unassisted:
Class 1-A Baseline Human Range.
Level 5.
Can press 460 Lbs.
Strength Level Power-Assisted:
Class 7. Megahuman Range.
Can press 250,000 Tons.   
Arsenal:  The Eye of Force is a
bright red convex elliptical artifact
with powerful magical properties.
Though only wafer thin, it is
impenetrable and can absorb and
re-direct energies as willed by its
rightful user. This elliptical piece
locks into place on his chest. By
tapping it once and saying the
phrase “Eye Arise,” the red
artifact materializes on I-Force’s
right forearm expanded to the size
of a large circular shield and ready
to do battle. The shield is capable
of changing its shape and can be
used for throwing. Though it will
return on its own, I-Force can
intercept the path by saying “Eye
Return” and it will instantly
reappear on his forearm.
Fighting Prowess: Paul received
his first black belt in kung-fu when
he was sixteen years old. When he
enlisted in the marines, he earned
a black belt in Tae Kwon Do in
Korea and proved a boxing
juggernaut on the US Marines
Boxing Team. Upon returning to
the States, Paul studied Jun Fan
Jeet Kune under the original JKD
Branch.  Paul has Marine military
knowledge of combat tactics,
weapons, marksmanship,
ordnances and demolitions.
Through intense practice, he also
learned how to throw his I-Shield
with deadly accuracy.
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.
