SPECIAL ABILITIES
ADVANTAGES: |
| COMBAT REFLEXES - Wisdom can react to threats almost instantly, meaning that he/she is very difficult to surprise and is extremely effective in close-range hand-to-hand combat
CONFIDENCE - Wisdom possess an untouchable air of superiority that makes others instinctively realize they're not worried. They don't come off cocky, though they can at times. They just have a comforting presence that makes people know that Pete Wisdom is the type of person who will get what they want when they want, by their own hands or use of powers if needed.
CURIOSITY - Wisdom has an incredible curiosity that often overrides his common sense. Meaning that Pete Wisdom often gets into all sorts of trouble when something negative occurs unnecessarily, however is more often than not praised for Wisdom finding something critical.
HARD TO KILL - Simply put, Wisdom is incredibly difficult to kill. Even when you blow them to bits, he has an annoying habit of surviving... somehow. This can also relate to the character having rock hard skin, or being incredibly fast and agile; and therefore good at dodging attacks.
POKER FACE - Pete Wisdom is totally unflappable when it comes to keeping a straight face or holding on to information. No - one knows what he/she is thinking or how Wisdom is feeling. |
POWERS: |
| THERMAL ENERGY MANIPULATION- Peter has the power to absorb ambient heat and solar radiation, and release the absorbed energy from his fingertips as pure thermal energy, or has he calls them ‘Hot Knives’. Wisdom can do up to his power rank (Amazing) damage.
HEAT RESISTANCE- Wisdom possesses a resistance to heat; the intense heat of the sun itself. Being in a desert wouldn't bother him overly so, though he will feel the effects; he'll also tend to feel a little energized as well. This is what keeps him from basically dying every time he uses his powers. |
FIGHTING SKILLS: |
| ASSESSMENT - Pete Wisdom can tell the difficulty of many tasks and judge the abilities of others. If he take a full exchange to analyze a person or task, he can learn the difficulty of a task or one ability or intensity score about an individual.
BLUFF- The man can lie like no one's business... and make it all seem very plausible. He is almost as smooth as molasses, but since he's still a bit rough himself in some ways, it comes across. Even helps, sometimes.
COMBAT STYLE Bartitsu-The martial art of Sherlock Holmes, a useful and vicious brawling style.
MANIPULATION- The art of persuasion... forceful style. With glowing blades of solar heat in your face... you'd give things up too, right? Not always a method he uses, Wisdom can also browbeat someone into behaving the way he wants... or just beats them. Wisdom can wheedle and cajole with the best of them. He uses that odd charm of his, along with some taunting, some mocking, some cajolery, and perhaps even promises (he'll even keep them if he makes them).
SLEIGHT OF HAND- He can also make things disappear. Now you see it, now you don't... he doesn't always burn things, but can move the little things quietly. He's always been good with his hands, in many ways. This is something Wisdom enjoys doing even when not working. |
DISADVANTAGES: |
| ADDICTION-Nicotine, gotta have it
BARBED TONGUE-Possibly one of the most sarcastic beings walking the Earth these days
CRUDE-He's young and nasty tempered, it's made him a bit nasty to any and everyone. It's not personal, but the "F" word is a comma some days to him
MORTAL-He is human, despite the powers |

HISTORY
Peter Paul Winston Wisdom was born in London, England, to Harold Wisdom and his wife Cheryl, and is the younger brother of Romany Wisdom. His home was far from a happy one, with alcohol and horrible screaming a daily factor of his life. The basic facts are that Pete's father is a detective sergeant and criminal profiler at New Scotland Yard, and his parents divorced for a variety of reasons.
The turning point of Wisdom's life was when he was 13 and his parents were divorced. Pete held hope that his parents would reconcile at one point and stated as much to his mother. Their relationship was already very strained, she would say terrible things about his father and would use his protests as a means of getting him in trouble with his father.
A couple of days before Pete was supposed to go visit his mother in Hungerford, they had a huge argument over the phone, with her ultimately ranting about how she never loved his father and saw Peter as a mistake. As a result, he decided to forget the visit and didn't bother to talk to his mother again and tell her. In a horrible twist of fate, a spree killer who's name is unknown to this day came shooting through Hungerford and Pete‘s mother was killed, while waiting at the window for her son. Both Wisdom himself and his father blamed Pete for her death and still do so this day.
With his sister a stranger and his father treating him more like a criminal or inconvenient stranger, Pete took to spending all his time out of the house. His sense of right and wrong was fairly limited but he severely disliked senseless cruelty. His school records reflect suspensions because he violently attacked older boys who were bullying the lower forms. After a particularly terrible fight, in which Pete was beaten up badly but sent two attackers to the hospital because he used a cricket bat to fight them off, the gardener at the school pulled him aside. A former SAS trooper, he liked Wisdom's willingness to fight bullies and taught him the British mixed-martial art, Bartitsu. This style, best known as the fighting style of Sherlock Holmes himself, was an excellent means to teach a teenager without granting him the rather lethal skills used by the SAS. The Gardener died a year ago, leaving his bartitsu manuals to Wisdom.
How his powers came about is unknown, but it appears he hid them for a time before they became known to those at Xaviers. Offered a chance to go to the United States and learn his powers and more, he took the offer immediately. His father arranged a small stipend to be paid to him, but otherwise turned his back on Pete Wisdom. There seems to be no desire to change this situation by either side nor does it seem to be a sore point for Wisdom. What happens from this point on, nobody knows. But with a young Pete Wisdom, it should be interesting.
