POWERS: Anger ManipulationWhen sudden angry/traumatic experience/pain level stresses happen his gift triggers within Waylon he will increase in height and size, he tops out at 8'7" and weighs roughly 1,500 lbs! His skin and eyes turn a ash grey color. In his 'beast' state his strength increases to that of 50 Olympic level strong men! This includes immense durability thanks to several hundred pounds of fortified bone and muscle, while in this form his skin is thicker and tougher, like a hide of leather armor, keeping simple blows of sharp objects from reaching flesh--though direct stabs will still penetrate. As for his bones he has a higher bone density in this form, making them twice as hard to break as an average man's. When his anger or stress or pain is depleted the beast will transform back to Waylon rendering him unconscious. Days of rest after an episode are required.

HISTORY:
Waylon is a second generation Gifted, born to Wayman and Gracie Ellis, two middle school teachers with the latter being Gifted herself. However they didn't just sit on the sidelines and hide what Waylon's Mother was, she became Mighty Woman and fought crime locally as Jacksonville was a cesspool of crime. Wayman became a tinkerer and made gadgets that helped Mighty Woman channel her above superhuman strength, Mister Gadget.
They did retire however when Waylon's parents gave him a sibling, a little brother, and when it seemed that Waylon wasn't going to be Gifted they decided their decision to part from the hero life was for the better. The brothers got a long for the most part but something had always been just a little off with Waylon's brother, even more alarming was when the boy developed his Gift. Waylon's brother never missed a chance to taunt Waylon. When his brother found out that his parents had once been masked heroes he wanted them to return to the life and bring him on as well, but they refused. Feeling slighted his brother lost control of his Gift first killing their Mother, the loss and the pain triggered Waylon's dormant Gift. Their clash resulted in their Dad's death, but it wasn't clear who delivered the killing blow. Wounded heavily by Waylon his little brother fled, Waylon's beast side had him flee from the scene before the arrival of authorities.
His first exhausted experience had him asleep in a deep like coma for days, when he had come to he was miles and miles behind his old life. Waylon believed his brother also dead, and he knew both parents were gone. He ended up in Los Eurosia, on the East End a teenager with pants and a pair of shoes. Breaking into old homes to sleep and stealing food when he could was how Waylon lived until he met Mary Ann Redding, a fellow east ender who had the biggest heart and kindest eyes Waylon had ever known. The befriended each other and she took care of him until her dad, the sheriff at the time, found out and what they both surely thought was going to be a bad outcome turned out to blindside them both.
Waylon was raised by the Redding family: they put him in school, fed him, and clothed him. Mary and Waylon fell in love with each other in high school, married after graduation, Mary went to college, and Waylon went into the police academy. Together they ended up having two children. Last year they lost their wife and Mother during a freak Gifted accident, a little girl at a supermarket developed her powers which resulted in eight people losing their lives. The loss of his wife was the last time grief almost triggered his own Gift....but years of discipline kept him calm to get through the funeral.
With the increasing revelation of Gifteds, and the lack of concern to teach these people to integrate into society where it is instead feared to live with such "freaks" being real, Waylon has felt a calling from his past to perhaps lace up and rise to be what the world needs....a hero....a symbol...but the worry of secrets and the what if his brother was still alive...have confused the simple Los Eurosia sheriff into putting the idea in the back burner for now.
