John Proudstar (Earth-1900)

Thunderbird / John Proudstar ( Earth-1900) : John Proudstar was the chief security officer Indigenous Native American Apache of Gamma Base in New Mexico and personal friend of Dr. Robert Bruce Banner whom he often used to defend from his Army Higher Officer General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross who often abused his authority and harassed Banner due to the delay in the development of the Gamma Bomb project by taking advantage of the shy and reserved personality of the scientist. John often confronted General Ross even putting at risk his position as security officer of the Gamma Base to defend his friend and constantly encouraged Bruce Banner to take a firmer attitude. John also aided the timid scientist to have the love affair with Betty Ross, the great love of Banner's life that he considered impossible to go through due to the fear of Ross's hostility. When Gamma Bomb Test Day finally arrived, John found strange by the fact that Bruce Banner was not present in the control room to watch the countdown to the Gamma Bomb detonation by asking Banner's assistant Igor Starsky he learned that Banner, contrary to safety regulations, had left the Base because he saw an irresponsible boy crossing the outer limits of the Gamma Base with a car and going dangerously close to the Gamma Bomb detonation area and Banner had risked his life to save the boy. Cursing for the pitiful hour that Banner chose to take a firmer attitude John Proudstar ordered Igor Starsky to stop counting for the detonation of the Gamma Bomb without distrust that in reality Igor Starsky was a Hydra spy planted within the Gamma Base to be able to steal the secret of the Gamma Bomb and saw in that the opportunity to get rid of two inconvenience for his mission: Bruce Banner and his protective friend John Proudstar and gave no order to end the count hoping to kill two rabbits with a single shot. Running against time John managed to reach Banner and the boy named Rick Jones who was trying to convince uselessly to leave Gamma Base and without discussion grabbed the two and ran into a protective trench when suddenly the Gamma Bomb exploded and the world stayed totally green for him. Waking hours later in a bed at the Gamma Base medical center, John Proudstar woke up with Bruce Banner, and the boy named Rick Jones by his side and he knew that thanks to them he had been taken still unconscious and that they owed their lives to him because if John had not taken them to the Trench the three would have been caught by the Gamma Bomb explosion and that John had been unconscious for hours. Banner said it was a miracle that the Apache survived because the amount of Gamma Radiation he absorbed should have killed him. John said, "You're not going to get rid of me so easy Bruce ... which reminds me ..." and John lectured on Banner and Jones for his irresponsible attitude about a little out of mode virtue the two were unaware of called "Responsibility" and said what Bruce Banner and Rick Jones asked for and did not ask to hear for their attitudes that could have cost the lives of the three who both listened quietly. In turn Igor Starsky displeased with his failure to kill Bruce Banner and John Proudstar decided to reveal his true facet. He was actually a monstrous mutated gamma irradiated aberration created by Hydra whose Gamma Irradiation process was slowly killing due to Hydra's complete ignorance of how to manipulate gamma radiation and that he had been sent to steal Bruce Banner's gamma equation annotations so that Hydra could safely dominate the gamma irradiation process and cure he before he died of radioactive poisoning by gamma radiation. Spreading Destruction by Gamma Base Igor Starsky was confronted by John Proudstar who ignored the calls of Bruce Banner and Rick Jones to stay in the medical bed and to general surprise John became a massively, muscular giant, emerald giant the mutated gamma aberration Igor Starsky and defeated him to what it finally perished due to the poisoning by Gamma Radiation. Astonished all present saw John Proudstar give the Apache indigenous war cry: "Hooka hey!" to which General Ross said: "Nothing bad 'Hulk'!" to which John Proudstar still as a giant promptly replied: "Do not insult me with such a derogatory name General I am no one 'Hulk' I am a son of Thunderbird!". Later Bruce Banner checked the genetic structure of John Proudstar and discovered so disconcert of all that John had only survived the Gamma Bomb explosion and had been able to develop giant super powers because in truth he was a mutant with the mutant power of absorbing, metabolizing, processing and converting gamma energy into vast superhuman strength and a wide range of superpowers with latent powers that were awakened by the explosion of Gamma Bomb. Seeing an immense possibility to win a mutant superhuman operative at the service of the USA Government General Thaddeus E. "Thunderbolt" Ross sent John to be trained by the highest authority in mutations genetics and mutants of to service of the United States Government Professor Charles Xavier who commanded the Squadron X-Men of S.H.I.E.L.D. to which John joined under the codename of Thunderbird learned under supervision of Major James Howlett (codenamed Wolverine) how to make effective use of his gigantic powers of "gamma mutant". John Proudstar has always been able to maintain complete control over his form of Emerald Goliath Apache and thanks to him the Squadron X-Men of S.H.I.E.L.D. won the support of one of the most powerful super beings in his world. Like Hulk, he has a superhuman resistance, a cell regeneration factor that as in all Hulks is one of the best that exist in your universe and can regenerate your body from almost any type of injury [including fatal injuries for most living beings] instantly and superhuman strength and durability, which, like the Hulk, increase in power when he is most enraged although in his case he has full control over his transformation of human into "Giant Emerald" and has not shown to possess the same personality disorder nor a "dark facet" equal Bruce Banner. In fact he loves being a Hulk so he's definitely not a "curse". His power is such that he can break Juggernaut / Cain Marko's armor from his reality and toss his helmet into the stratosphere with a single punch, though not as strong as the "Green Scar" Hulk. Thunderbird can increase its strength with "Ancient Power" - a form of Cosmic Power, which allows it to manipulate elements of the weather causing storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, etc., and in this case, absorbing energy from the Whole earth. He can revert to a human form and go back to turning into a Hulk-like Green Goliath at will. ) . John Proudstar dominates over 17 different styles of combat and martial arts beyond the techniques of the Marines and uses a giant Marines knife made of Adamantiun and specially manufactured for someone of his size who keeps it hemmed at the waist but used in combat with mortal mastery. Thunderbird is a master strategist capable of noticing the slightest weakness of his opponent and exploits it in his favor.
