Origin: "Like my life wasn't all that special, I had normal parents, a computer genius for a sister, lousy grades and a buff body...no big right? Well check this out....I was in my senior year and coming back from the prom, I'd just dropped my date off .....Sherry Cummings,man what a hotty. Well I'm driving down my street and I see these guys stuffing something into a van right in front of my house. My dad comes running out of the house with his shotgun, one of the guys shoots him with some kinda pistol and knocks him on his butt. I cut around and slam into the van with mom's acura. Then I jump out to find out what's going on. This guy gets out of the van, he has something on his hand like a jackhammer or something. He tells me to back off if I know what's good for me. Just then my mom comes out of the house screaming give my baby back. Well now I know what they're stuffing in the van. Tina! Something weird starts to happen, my whole body begins to tingle and I start growing. I look down on the guy and tell him I want my sister back, so he hits me with that thing and seems shocked that I barely feel it. Well everything else goes so fast it's kinda hard to remember how it all happens but I cream the jackhammer dude and rip the top off the van, throw the guy with the pistol down the street and grab my sister. Another van comes around the corner and picks up the guys I had creamed, then takes off. I've been reading the papers since that and found out a lot more about all these costumed wackos. I guess another one might be able to help.......Plus the chicks'll dig it."

Personality: Fortress' cockiness tends to multiply into extreme overconfidence when he is in costume and his protective nature becomes very apparent. With that aside he is a fairly laid back and fun loving person. He speaks in a deep baritone voice, using surfer slang constantly and struts around with pretty cocky attitude

Quote: "Oh, dude I can't believe you just did that".....SMASH!!!!" "Hey babe, I didn't see you there."

Appearance: Fortress wears a gray and white uniform with black thigh high boots and black short gloves, a mask covers his face except for his mouth. He keeps his long hair pulled back into a ponytail. He usually stands about 8' tall and weighs in at just over 500 lbs.
