Earl Nolan (Earth-616)

Amoebo is a current Offbeat member and former Acolyte.

Early history
Earl Nolan was born in Salem Oregan to an average family. However at the age of 15 his skin started to ooze a sticky lue liquid. Doctors were baffled as there was no record of this ever happening. Shortly afterward his skin was completley covered and it started turning clear so that you could see Earl's organs. Then his lesser organs and bone started to dssolve and his major organs fused together to form a large nucleas like organ. He could now "see" using tremorsense ( he could see by using vibrations in the ground). Frightened by his apperance the people of Salem drove him aay where he was eventually discovered by Magneto'a Acolytes.

The Amoebalyte
After joining the Acolytes Amoebo started to learn to read brail and to use sign language. His ameoba abilities were very usefull to to the Acolytes as he was practicallyindestructable due to his malleable gellatinous skin. His only weaknesses were extreme heat, extreme cold (Which would cause his "skin" to harden and crumble but which would grow back) and having his nucleas pulled out of his "body" as it would cause his gelatinous form to fal apart into a harmless puddle of goo. During is stay with the Acolytes Amoebo overcame his hatred of humans and joined up with a group of other Acolytes who were planning to split off from the rest of them.

An offbeat
Shortly after joining the Offbeats the team leader Dragonfly] decided that to gain credibility as a team they should attack a superhero team, the Avengers. Amoebo, [[Sparky and Demona all realised the stupidity of this plan but they were ignored (Although Dragonfly didn't even know what Amoebo was sign-saying until Sparky translated for him). He manage to knock out Captain America by enveloping him until he passed out from lack of oxygen but was defeated when Iron man managed to knock the nucleas right out of his head causing his body to collapse. While like the rest of the team he was sent tothe Vault he was placed into an airtight container to minimize his chances of escaping. Like the rest of his team-mates he managed to escape (although he and his container had to be carried out) and decided to pursue a career as a heroic team.
