[edit] Fictional character biography
The impressively tall, craggy featured Josiah Power was one of America’s best lawyers until his meta-gene was triggered during the alien Invasion by the activation of the Gene Bomb.[1]
Following the untimely public activation of his metagene in the court room, corporate attorney Josiah Power was dismissed from his law firm. Power had litte interest in becoming a traditional costumed hero, but it became readily apparent that he could not continue to practice law without undue public attention.
[edit] Power Company
Working his way through a short depression and other problems, Josiah eventually found a way to combine his old skills and newfound abilities. He decided to found a business of super-heroes for hire, structured like a law firm, with partners and associates.
He called his new team, the Power Company. During his tenure in the team, he was put into a coma from a gunshot wound and Firestorm became an associate. He has since recovered and has continued active duty. Josiah lives with his longtime companion Rupert.
[edit] Powers
- He rarely participates in the Company’s missions. He has made exceptions but only when the situation was dire. When he activates his powers Josiah transforms into a monstrous, grey, stone-like seven foot giant, and an energy corona begins to spark about his body. He gains great strength, invulnerability and possibly other energy based powers.[2]
- At one point after seeing him in action Superman stated that Josiah was one of the most powerful metas he'd ever met.
