Theodore Winchester (Earth-8006)

Grizzly / Theodore Winchester ( Earth-8006 ) is a mestizo half-Australian White half-Australian Aborigine. Despite his ethnic heritage, grew up with very gray skin and in his adolescence of tonality very similar to the one of the villain Apocalypse / En Sabah Nur began to see signs of a mutation in his hands. It was during a martial arts class when, sparring with another student the issue came to a head and provoked him to confront about his unusual traits. He left home, seeking answers, and ended up on an Eastern Buddhist Monks guidance. Initially he fell into trouble and was even hurt seriously when stumbling into a fight. The local Buddhist Monks took him in and taught him about his ancestors. What followed was a ceremony where Theodore Winchester experienced a joining and conversing with the spirits of his ancestors and the spirits of the Dream Time, who told him that he was The Grizzly the same Dream Time Spirits foretold his destiny to be that he was to be their warrior and that he was to lead the Australian Aborigine People back to their true spirit and glory. When he finished the ceremony, which included tribal flesh hooks and war paint, the Buddhist Monks marked him with blood, marking his skin, reminding him always of the pain and truth of his spiritual destiny. He was raised primarily by the Buddhist Monks after that, but also spent time with the Kung-Fu, Karate , Judo , Jiu-jitsu Master who taught him how to use his special talents. Grizzly / Theodore Winchester developed an ability to assume certain animalistic attributes, such as the teeth and claws of a Grizzly Bear. This physical transformation defies any kind of scientific analysis, but seems to involve some sort of manipulation of unstable molecules. Grizzly is also able to enter the plane of the Spiritis of Dream Time world. This communion with his ancestors seems to involve some sort of heightened sensitivity which allows him to sense things just beyond the physical boundaries of conventional defined reality, as well as psychic impressions from inanimate objects. Although at this point his story becomes clouded, his next chapter lead him to Weapon-X Program as a operative. After being brought into a local sheriff's office for attacking a man who had rape an Australian Aborigine girl, Grizzly's mutations were noticed and he was brought to the Attention of Weapom-X Program. They removed his hands and replaced them with cybernetic replacements. This had to be done under heavy anesthesia, as Theodore Winchester possesses a superhuman healing factor. The bionic replacements Grizzly received from Weapon-X Program became so much a part of him that they too could assume the appearance of claws just like his real hands had done. Grizzly has exhibited the ability to manipulate his claws into normal human shape, and then back into claws. His body was coated with a metal alloy, nanotechnology of liquid metal. Theodore Winchester was romantically linked with Domino. when Donald Pierce killed Domino. Following her betrayal of their Weapon-X team, he joined X-Men after Beast removed the explosive implant housed in his skull placed in him to ensure obedience by the Weapon-X Program. Beyond X-Men, Grizzly has been associated with The Deadpool as he was affianced to Wade Wilson's former love interest, and he trained Deadpool's sister Twilight Wilson. He has also teamed up with forces such as Cable, X-Force, the Avengers, as well as Wolverine, Psylocke and the X-Task Force. He is a mutant that looks much like with a version of more than 1.98m of height of the a man massively muscular with red hair of darker tonality of Sabretooth / Victor Creed which his body covered by a metal alloy nanotechnology of liquid metal with skin of light gray shade with similar to that of the mutant villain Apocalypse / En Sabah Nur prominent cyborgs bionic claws in each hand like the claws of a Grizzly Bear made of metal who wears a variation of Grizzly's uniform / Maxwell Markham after he was recruited by Norman Osborn as an operative of the Thunderbolts.

Powers and Abilities

Metamorphosis: Grizzly is a cybernetically-enhanced mestizo half-Australian White half-Australian Aborigine who has the ability to assume certain animalistic attributes, most notably the teeth and claws of a Grizzly Bear. This physical transformation defies any kind of scientific analysis, but seems to involve some sort of manipulation of unstable molecules. One of the most amazing aspects of this unique ability has been the miraculous discovery that was made after the tragic loss of both hands. The bionic replacements what Grizzly received from Weapon-X Program became so much a part of him that they too could assume the appearance of claws just like his real hands had done. Grizzly exhibited the ability to manipulate his claws into normal human shape, and then back into claws, but this has rarely been replicated in later issues, so it is unclear whether this was artistic licence taken by the writer or if it is simply not addressed in subsequent issues.

Bio-Morphic Liquid Metal: He is essentially a bio-morphic being possessing the ability to assume the properties of a type of biomolecular, high-tensile metal that he can manipulate into objects of various sizes, shapes, and density for a variety of uses. Primarily, as per his namesake, he forms bladed weapons out of his fingers and arms yet is quite capable of forming shields, hammers, and other basic shapes and properties.

Radio Block: Grizzly is capable of manipulating his bio-molecular metals in such a way to create a negative zone immediately around him that renders him immune to most sensory capabilities. Essentially, granting him limited stealth aspects that enable him to get through most security systems undetected.

Enhanced Durability: Grizzly can fight, and fight, and fight. His nanotechnologically enhanced body grants him a high resistance to pain and damage, even beyond those of most other mutants. He's taken a sword to the gut and lived through a lengthy fall when he should have very well died. Taken high end energy assaults. Been stabbed repeatedly, lost lots of blood and still kept going. If you want Grizzly down only death will stop him. Knocking him out temporarily, doing haphazard damage just doesn't work. His malleable and bio-metallic body might be the reason behind this as on top of his high endurance he's resistant to injury far more then it may appear he is. While not 'bullet proof' or invulnerable, it takes a lot to hurt him and slow him down.

Enhanced Stamina: His high willpower and refusal to give up, grant him the endurance that he needs to continue to push through.

Astral Projection: Grizzly is also able to enter another plane of existence -- one that he interprets as being enter the plane of the Dream Time Spirits world dwell. It is not known how he is able to accomplish this, but it seems to involve some sort of heightened sensitivity which allows him to sense things just beyond the physical boundaries that define what we know as reality.

Psychometry: He can get psychic impressions from what he considers to be the spirits. This psychometric like ability allows him to gain impressions from things, such as an Aztec ceremonial axe that had been used as a murder weapon.

Abilities

Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Grizzly is a skilled hand to hand combatant. Well versed in many forms of fighting. He maintains some degree of skill at bladed weapons, obviously, and is highly skilled in Kung Fu, Karate , Judo , Jiu-jitsu and other martial arts. When not using his blades, Theodore Winchester is still a noteworthy foe. "He is even better in what he does but what he does of even better is definitely not pleasant".
