Tyron Hornell

When Hornell’s super-strength and unusual regenerative properties first appeared, the young mutant just hit 13 years of age. The cut on his hand stopped bleeding immediately and formed a steel-hard scab that he couldn’t peel off. Afterwards, Hornell discovered that not only could he “will” the scab to fall off, but he could also bleed through his pores to cover himself in scab armor. He quickly became enforcer for his set, The Soulfunk Brothers, propelling them to preeminent position among the Chicago gangs. From there, he graduated into the more lucrative position of mob enforcer and later, super-villain for hire.
Since that time, Hornell’s seen action as a flunky for a variety of super-heavies. He rarely operated outside a team, and when he did, it was for petty, unimaginative crimes like armed robbery. In fact, it was during a solo excursion that he blacked out and found himself in lock-up, awaiting his arraignment. A psychic hero — Hornell can’t remember her name — knocked him out with a mind blast like he was barely a distraction. Now Hornell sits in prison, fuming over being treated like a nobody and feeling disjointed thanks to bouts of memory loss that he blames on the psychic. He’s looking to ally himself with a stronger villain, and he’s looking for revenge on any hero he can lay his hands on.
Hornell is a straightforward street tough who likes to believe he’s the pack alpha, and among most humans, he is. Hornell, though is a follower who works best under someone’s else’s direction. In fact, he usually lands in trouble when he’s bored or directionless, though he won’t admit it. His humiliation over being taken out so easily by the unnamed psychic hero means he’ll direct his aggression against any available hero who pops their head out from protective custody. Currently, Hornell is looking to prove himself, whether to nurse his bruised ego or to occupy him during his stay at Buckner Ridge. He isn’t a push-over, however. He’s just very loyal to whoever accepts his allegiance and respects him in return.
