Powers:
As Olympian, Gideon has Level 3 superhuman strength (also known as Olympian Strength), and is known as the strongest man alive. He is the only living mortal capable of lifting the Sword of Heaven, as well as carrying the colossal weapon while air. He is also able to fly at great speeds, at one point breaking the sound barrier.
One drawback of his supersonic flying is that it takes a tremendous counter-resistance to stop his momentum, as even he himself is unable to stop once he reaches those speeds. On the ground, however, Olympian does not possess superhuman speed.
Equipment:
Olympian possesses the Sword of Heaven, a weapon forged by Hephaestus who prided himself in ‘crafting a weapon no man can lift’. Olympian is the only living mortal capable of wielding the enchanted blade. The Sword of Heaven is resistant to magic and most substances, capable of tearing through force fields and magical barriers. It stays on Mount Olympus, where even the other Neo-Olympians are unable to lift it, until Olympian summons it.
Notes:
Gideon Archimedes is an Olympian, hailing from the planet Olympia Nexus. The semi-immortal Olympians were granted special genetic gifts by way of Pandora’s Box, a mystical object which contains ‘all the powers of the Omniverse’. On his home planet, Gideon was a Warrior, blessed with superhuman strength and flight. Gideon’s father was crowned king of his region when Vision, an Olympian with the power of foresight, prophesied the destruction of the Earth under the hands of the Soul Eater, declaring that there is no hope for humanity.
While his brethren refused to risk their entire planet for the sake of a ‘lesser’ one, Gideon stole Pandora’s Box. His own father saw this as an act of treason, and exiled Gideon, naming him an outlaw. Pursued by his brother, Vladimir, he escaped to Earth via a mythical Portal Key and opened the box, releasing the Hyperblood strain and unknowingly sealing the Soul Eater. He then broke the key to the box into six different pieces and hid each piece away in separate locations.
Banished from Olympus, Gideon then remained on Earth, all the while awaiting the Soul Eater’s return. As Olympian, he possesses the supernatural strength and the ability to fly. He is also able to call forth the Sword of Heaven, which he won from Hephaestus through a bet. During his fight with Vladimir, he was shot in the right shoulder by a focused psionic blast, making it his Achilles’ heel. He wears his shoulder plate to make up for it.
