Charlie Sue

"'Yes, Mr. Secretary. He is an impressionable boy with too much power. But he's our impressionable boy with too much power and he's just waiting to be impressed. That power is ours.' - Nathan Williams, U.S Colonel"

Charlie Sue, a previously ordinary child, had newly moved from his home after taking a flight to Gotham, before a Surgeon bonded to his mind. He was granted the ability to manipulate matter and energy and used his gifts to save others.

Early Life
Charlie Sue was born in Aylia, Saudia Arabia to Charles Sue and Aylia Sue, the two being major figures in the movement for women's rights in Saudi Arabia. Charles Sue was a doctor in psychology and Aylia Sue was a native of Saudi Arabia, having been privately tutored and educated by the best tutors.

Charlie grew up being home schooled by his parents but he was a very distracted student, never really paying attention to his parents' lessons, their morals the only things that really stuck with him. Looking back, Charlie regrets not taking advantage of his education because if he did, he'd be much more effective with his powers than he is now.

Eventually, Charlie's parents were threatened by almost the entire village of Aylia and under threat of decapitation, were forced to move. Abdullah Bahri, Charlie's wealthy uncle, arranged transportation for the family and ensured they were looked after for in America.

One day, both Charles Sue and Aylia Sue were killed by a gang of mercenaries hired to send a message to Abdullah Bahri. Charlie Sue fell into the system and ran away from his foster home when his foster father almost succeeded in molesting him. Charlie lived on the streets for the next few months until a Surgeon forced its way inside his brain and bonded itself to Charlie's mind, granting him vast power.

Origins
After Charlie's Surgeon, an alien parasite which seeks to house itself in its host's mind, bonded with Charlie and gave him the ability to control matter and energy alongside physical abilities of superhuman nature, Charlie headed to STAR Labs while undergoing intense physical and mental turmoil from the strain of controlling his Surgeon, goaded by his Surgeon to do so.

Yahweh and The Flash
Here, he found another Surgeon named 'Yahweh', and was coerced into freeing him by his Surgeon. Yahweh was freed and bonded with another human outside as Barry Allen, the Flash investigated the STAR Labs break-in. Charlie tried to explain his situation to the Flash and Barry sympathised, vowing to help him.

Charlie used his new abilities to try to locate Yahweh, and Flash took them to an ongoing construction site. They chased Yahweh to its top level where a final showdown took place. Yahweh revealed that he possessed time-manipulating abilities as well as spike-related body forming, which he used to battle the heroes. Eventually, after Charlie was able to distract Yahweh and Barry pushed past his limits, Yahweh was defeated with a blow to the chest. Barry then sealed him in a container jar and Charlie took responsibility, taking it away.

Smile for the Camera
After being prompted to do so by 'Henry Cask', Charlie Sue appeared on a live broadcast to discuss the presence of superheroes after Superman left. He argued with Henry about several points, but perhaps caused some sway in the public's trust of heroes as he was obviously a child with immense power.

Espionage in Kahndaq
Charlie Sue was recruited by the U.S government and became one of the military's assets. He was sent to investigate the disappearance of U.S operatives in Kahndaq that were caught and murdered by Black Adam. Black Adam discovered Charlie Sue evacuating the intelligence units and told the world of the USA's attempts to spy on him and his country. Charlie Sue's involvement in the spying on another sovereign nation and deliberately ignoring international borders per America's order brought him some controversy, especially given his obvious young age.

The Hunt for the Remnants
Hajar, sensing the remaining Surgeons in the universe, sends out his inquisitors to wipe them out, the formerly enslaved race of Hlicians both mortified and enraged by the return of their former masters. A dreadnought-class ship is quickly dispatched to Earth and Charlie's Surgeon informs him of their presence. With Hero-Man accompanying him, Charlie Sue boards the ship, and after negotiations with the Hlicians break down, with their only demands Charlie and his parasite die, Hero-Man and Charlie Sue destroy the ship and scatter the Hlician forces.

The Captain's Revelation
While Charlie was training with his abilities, Captain Krypton appeared. He analyzed the boy and discovered Charlie's Surgeon was fattening him up to kill him and take his power to live for an indefinite amount of time, with the intention of having no host. Captain Krypton informed Charlie of this and made it where Charlie was always aware of the Surgeon's thoughts if he wished to be. Charlie and Captain Krypton held a brief conversation before Captain Krypton disappeared. Charlie then struck a deal with his Surgeon; the Surgeon would live and spare Charlie while training him to be the best hero he could be. The Surgeon started off this deal by instructing Charlie to fly to the sun and practice flying through difficult environments to become a more graceful and agile flier.

End of the War on Terror
Charlie Sue, still a military asset, was deployed to demilitarize a group of hostile forces engaged with American soldiers. He completed this mission without a single fatal casualty on either side. Charlie, however, took it upon himself to fly throughout the region and demilitarize the guerillas directly and openly opposing the US. He dismantled their bases, their equipment, and turned them over to local American forces. This led to the destabilization of regions in the Middle East and Central Asia and only proved a temporary setback to the terrorist organizations, as it didn't solve the social issues in the Middle East.

Creation of Barkham
Two individuals, Doggy B and Jack headed to Arkham Island to take control and break away from the United States as an independent territory. They succeeded in taking control of the island and planted bombs on the hostages and within the island itself, the bombs ranging from low-grade explosive to chemical bombs capable of wiping out Gotham. After GCPD's and ARGUS's failed attempts to take Doggy B and Jack down, the USM deployed Charlie. Charlie managed to get every hostage off the island and remove every bomb but once he closed in on Doggy B to attempt to knock him out, he was immediately frozen. Doggy B kept him frozen for the remainder of the succession war. The US, incapable of defeating Doggy B, signed a treaty that allowed Barkham to exist as an independent state. The U.S, enraged by their loss of territory, immediately set to work to try and retake the island.

The Formation of the Seven and the Induction of the Eighth
Charlie Sue attended a press conference to talk about the end of the conflicts in the Middle East, welcoming the American soldiers home and declaring them and the fallen 'heroes'. Once his turn to speak finished, Henry Cask, the world's leading expert on metahumans, asked what the U.S was going to do about Barkham. ARGUS Director Steve Trevor informed the press that they will be introducing new specialized units to protect the nation. Soon enough, the Seven were introduced, a team of enhanced individuals, their leader, and poster boy being the superhero known as Highlander. Shortly after, Charlie Sue was inducted into the team. He was to be Nathan Williams's eyes and ears on the team.

The Pedo and the Child-Soldier
With new weapons out on the street that threatened to overwhelm local authorities, Charlie alongside Queen Maeve set out to investigate the source of these firearms that could fire rounds capable of penetrating tanks. The two encountered a shipment, taking it out within moments. Charlie and Maeve started off at odds, the latter consistently drinking on the job and showing apathy towards the protection of the populace. The two eventually, during their examination of the crates, were interrupted by a humanoid cube that assaulted them. Eventually, the humanoid cube dispersed and the two went on their way.

The two tracked the crates to a notorious arms dealer, Abdullah Bahri. The pair flew out to Gotham, Maeve riding on Charlie's back the entire trip there. Upon disembarking from the young hero's back, Maeve purposefully teased him by drawing her finger across his shoulder blade in a flirtatious manner, drawing embarrassment from Charlie. The two conversed with Abdullah, the arms dealer pointing them in the direction of an alien excavation site. The two arrived there by the same method of travel they used to get to Gotham. They landed in the wilderness only to find a group of mercenaries guarding the alien excavation site. When Charlie requested permission to enter, they flat out refused, and during their conversation, an ancient alien burst out the ruins of the site. Charlie's Surgeon informed him of the alien's past; it was a thrall of a long-dead Surgeon, the alien tasked with protecting the ruins with its life.

Maeve and Charlie fought together to subdue the threat, gaining the upper hand and finishing it with the help of time-traveler Tyroc, the time-traveling hero disappearing as quickly as he appeared.

Charlie and Maeve examined the site for a bit before Homelander arrived. Charlie picked upon Maeve's hostile feelings towards Homelander and Charlie himself grew suspicious of the individual who voiced concerns over Charlie saving the lives of innocents by removing them from the area instead of letting them risk death by recording. When Homelander flew off, he proceeded to call Maeve a "whore" as she laid a hand on Charlie's shoulder to advise Charlie to stop pressing the issue of Homelander's apathetic attitude towards keeping civilians safe.

The two were then interrupted by Beppo, who proceeded to reject Charlie's attempts at feeding him. He performed a super-fart that was repulsive enough in smell that Charlie for a few centiseconds considered genuinely killing himself. Beppo left shortly after.

With the two alone again, Charlie and Maeve flew back to Gotham, Maeve suggesting the two head back to Charlie's apartment. They arrive under the pretense Maeve has to use the bathroom. As Charlie turns his back to her and informs her of the bathroom's location, Maeve lunges at him when he turns around and proceeds to kiss him. She insists while kissing him, that Charlie brags about this occurrence endlessly to Homelander. Charlie pushes Maeve off, telling her that what she's attempting to do is wrong before Hero-Man and John Constantine show up to dissuade Maeve from pushing herself onto a minor. Hero-Man and Constantine take both Charlie and Maeve to the GCPD, where they are released shortly after since they never did anything technically illegal.

The Seven Exposed
Maeve sought out Charlie after their kissing incident, finding him bringing a sinking ship ashore. She tells him that she has something important to tell him, her hatred of Homelander giving her the motivation to inform Charlie of all the terrible things the Seven have done. She tells him of how The Seven are rapists, murderers, and sociopathic individuals. Charlie, with this information, informs the US Military and proceeds to track down A-Train, the team's speedster, and the Deep, the team's aquatic metahuman. He proceeds to defeat and apprehend both with ease, both superhero posers injured mildly in the scuffle. He attempts to coerce A-Train into a confession and succeeds in getting him to admit it. The Deep simply agrees to confess without any threatening words.

Charlie informs his handler of the situation and his handler, furious, instructs Charlie to stand down and drop A-Train and the Deep off at Vaught so that the U.S could smooth things over if need be, seeing as how Charlie botched up any attempts to arrest the two.

The New Factions of the East
Charlie sensed the sudden release of two Surgeons into the Middle East whilst he was undergoing rigorous military training. A bit startled and worried, he informed Nathan Williams of the possibility of a metahuman force growing in the Middle East.

Soon enough, a man of Middle Eastern descent named Wali teleported to Gotham City. He, using his ability to detach his limbs and explode them on command, his explosions capable of dazing even Black Matter. Wali went on a rampage, destroying buildings and killing several people. Black Matter eventually arrived on the scene and engaged in combat with Wali. The terrorist managed to stun Black Matter momentarily and during this, he blew up Ace Chemicals. Black Matter, recovering from the explosion that stunned him temporarily, quickly apprehended Wali by using his super-speed to avoid the detached limbs and capture the terrorist. He handed Wali in to the authorities, the terrorist then sent to a US military base.

Bridges Burned
Following Charlie's actions against the terrorist organizations in the Middle East and Central Asia, Obama officially denounced the actions he took outside of his mission parameters and the USM punished Charlie by placing him under much more supervisement and regulating his time as a US Military asset. Many government officials lost some trust in Charlie's ability to act independently with moderate to few restraints; he now had significant amount of overwatch and restrictions placed upon him. Charlie, disappointed in himself, volunteered to participate in more surgical strikes on installations that threatened American assets, hoping to regain some of the trust he lost.

Rebuilding Bridges and Building New Ones
Charlie Sue was deployed to Nicaragua, a Central American state that recently had a rebellion consisting of metahuman forces that held animosity towards America for America's involvement in the deposing of the old Nicaragua government. Charlie was deployed to take out the HQ of these metahumans, an Amazon turned mercenary contracted to assist him.

Charlie arrived to Nicaragua in no time, quickly landing beside the Amazon known as Giuana. The two discussed their objective together and quickly set forth, running into opposition that was no match for the either of them. They quickly took control of the metahuman base, subduing all of them with nonlethal means. Charlie, impressed by Giuana's skills at fighting, inquired as to where she held her training. Giuana met Charlie's attempts to fraternizing with hostility, stating that she learned all her skills at a place where Charlie wouldn't be welcome. As Giuana turned to head back to the HQ of American forces in the region, a massive sentient worm burst out of the ground. Charlie and Giuana both engaged with it after it revealed itself to be the ringleader of the metahuman faction. The two could do nothing to permanently faze it after an hour of nonstop fighting. Finally, Giuana managed to distract it long enough for Charlie to drive himself into it and lift it from the ground, burying it underneath the moon where the creature survived but was ultimately trapped.

Giuana, grateful to Charlie because he saved her life from the worm more than once, thanked him. The two realized that they were to be operating together for the rest of the operation and Giuana agreed to train Charlie in her fighting forms, given that he saved her life. The two headed to the local American HQ and settled in nicely together, having forged somewhat of a camaraderie together. In between missions, Giuana began training Charlie in the fighting forms employed by Amazons. Charlie proved to be a quick study, grasping the basics in a short amount of time. The two practiced relentlessly together and continued their operation in Nicaragua, the two forming a mutual respect for each other in a brief amount of time.

Powers and Abilities

 * Charlie Sue possesses limited, but growing:
 * Matter Manipulation: Charlie has absolute control over all matter but it requires heavy concentration to perform complex tasks. After training with his symbiote more, Charlie can manipulate matter on a much more complex scale and for longer before his mind becomes exhausted. The only thing that he can do with his matter manipulation that doesn't mentally drain him is simulated telekinesis.
 * Energy Manipulation: Charlie can control all forms of energy, tangible or intangible. It, however, requires heavy focus and is mentally draining. After training with his symbiote, Charlie can now manipulate energy for much longer before his mind is exhausted.
 * Super-Speed: Charlie can fly or run at high relativistic speeds. He can perceive lightning in slower motion than most and can react to it or things moving at similar speeds. He's been increasingly getting faster, now capable of reaching lightspeed when pushed to his limit.
 * Super-Strength: Charlie possesses a great degree of super-strength, capable of shattering entire continents or small moons with a single punch.
 * Super-Durability: Charlie's body is superhumanly durable, Charlie capable of shrugging off nuclear weapons with no discomfort. He can tank blows that can bust entire continents or small moons.
 * Reality Warping: Charlie can warp reality on a small scale, capable of creating matter from nothing and energy but this process is so exhausting and requires so much focus it's impractical for him to do so because when he finally does it, he'd pass out.


 * Altered Physiology: Charlie can survive in space without oxygen and is unharmed by radiation.


 * Limited Cosmic Awareness
 * Psychic Link: Charlie can sense the presence of other Surgeons.
 * Flight: Charlie can fly by moving his matter with his mind or "willing himself" to fly, the source of the second method of flight unknown. He tends to fly using the second method, however, as it requires no concentration, unlike the first method.
 * Heightened Senses: Charlie's senses are heightened to the point he can hear things happening on the east coast of America while he's on the west coast, he can smell things just as far, and he can view things on an atomic level.
 * Super-Vision: Charlie can see anything on the electromagnetic spectrum and can toggle various modes of sight.
 * Telepathic Resistance: Charlie's Surgeon will automatically shield his mind from any telepaths who are short of abstract tier in terms of telepathic power.
 * Hand-to-Hand Combat (Basic): Charlie has undergone the training regimens for recruits and has been instructed in boxing, kickboxing, and judo. He's currently being trained by Giuana, an Amazon turned mercenary.
 * Military Training: Charlie has undergone the basic training regimen for an infantryman in the US Army. He also has a basic understanding of their equipment and can apply some of his tactical knowledge to battles.

Paraphernalia

 * Ancient Surgeon Armor: Charlie has discovered, whilst training with his symbiote, an ancient armor once worn by a Surgeon back in the prime of the parasitic race. It's equipped with an abundance of technology, equipped with high-level missiles, telekinetic forcefields, power drainers, an integrated supercomputer with databases compiled of all the known species in the universe, integrated cameras for recording, holographic projections that seem like illusions, and a system that bonds to its current owner. It also possesses runes that prevent it from being reality warped by anybody but the current owner. It has melee weapons that can cleave through any substance known to man. The runes inscribed on it also shield the user from telepathy. The power efficiency of such a suit however is quite terrible, as it was a prototype. It quickly runs out of power and can only function at full capacity for a span of ten minutes before it cuts off power to additional systems except for critical ones, being the runes and the supercomputer.

Trivia

 * Charlie has like 50 alts.
 * Jay paid for the first three subheadings of this page by giving Dylan a free character of his choice.
