| Description: | |||||
| Ape-X is a huge frame of muscle and black and white fur. He has a more human than ape-like body and stance, although it is heavily muscled. Ape-X has a simian face, but speaks with an elegant and somewhat disarmingly casual voice in normal conversation, which becomes more shocking when he releases one of his primal roars. | |||||
| BACKGROUND | |||||
|
Born to working class Polish parents in Chicago, Donovan was a happy child. Until he parents died during his childhood. Adopted by another family, Donny became withdrawn and introverted, often showing some signs of OCD – something counsellors explained became a side effect of his childhood trauma. Donny, as his family and few friends came to know him, was always an introverted hulk of a man who enjoyed body-building and modern media, two things that seemed very out of odds with his chosen profession an accountant and CPA working for MAPS Investments. Donny was called to work at the Willis Tower office on an October morning, where he was part of a finance meeting with upper management when the meeting was postponed. Donny, a long-time Chicago resident, decided to use his corporate paid executive pass to visit the top of the Willis Tower. Weeks after, Donovan blacked out at work one morning. When he awoke, he was in a warehouse with dozens of military vehicles and law enforcement swarming around the building and attempting to prevent him from leaving. More surprisingly, his body had transformed into the eight foot tall beast known as The Simian. Dr. Anson approached the disoriented Donny and explained that he was a Quasar, a designation for a super-powered being that have been around since the 1990's. When Donny realized he was unable to change from his newly enlarge ape form, he grew sullen and confused. Dr. Anson eventually drew him into working with Team Daedalus, a new Quasar team sponsored by the benevolent Daedalus Foundation. Simian was constantly hounded and persecuted by Nancy Pelosi, who had made a career of opposing Quasars and used his transformational rampage through Chicago as an excuse to demand he be remanded to government custody. She used her influence, and an ally with FEMA, Director Jordan Willoughby, to badger the good-hearted Simian at every turn. Simian was a key member of Team Daedalus until the fight with the Four Horsemen saw the Violet Plague attempt to disempower his team. Simian identified the trap and disabled Violet Plague, but not after suffering the effects of the nanite neutralizer that disabled his powers. Donny survived that day, but Simian did not. It was not until the events of Prometheus Unbound when Donovan sacrificed his normal life to save the life of a young woman. His powers were awakened again and he went through paroxysm and transformation into a new form – a form not like the Simian and not like Donny. He became the optimal fusion of both his primal and human forms, and adopted the name the media granted him after his premiere appearance -- Ape-X. After the United States government turned against Team Daedalus, he accepted the opportunity to lead a new team that Dr. Anson had been proposing before his untimely death. Now, he is the leader of Team Icarus. |
