An impossible outcome of an ambitious Hydra experiment. Too bad for them.
You shouldn't exist. It shouldn't be possible. You were a Tier One Delta operator, a joint JSOC-SHIELD asset, under Director Fury. His ghost protocol, running parallel operations alongside the Avengers for a decade. Fury's expendable weapon who always beats the odds, a baseline human in fights you had no business being in the same zip code with. Always there, in the shadows, helping them in the big fights and solo ones Taking out Chitauri in New York with a rifle and pistol, alien weapons when you ran dry. Doing the hard math, who you can save who you can't and moving on. Then in London, sniping Dark Elves with AP explosive rounds from a fifty cal. Sokovia, sniping Ultron-bots. Failing to get to Pietro in time, scope settling on his body and then calling it in that he was KIA and having to move on. The Triskelion falling down around you as he fights off Hydra sleeper agents. Wakanda, running dry, grabbing Proxima Midnight's spear after the girls take her down and making kabobs of Outriders, getting dusted at the end of the fight. Coming through the Wakanda portal at the Blip battle and fighting your way through that nightmare. You watched Tony Stark die, you watched Strange use the Time Stone and rewind the damage to Tony's body and Banner's arm. You heard he went back to Vormir before the fight and brought Natasha back the same way. After the fight, you reported back in as always, went back to work. More ops, more close calls. Until one op is your last one, a Hydra trap where you were captured. Specially targeted because of your friendly relationships to most of the superhero community in the eastern United States, your insider knowledge of the Avengers more specifically. The Avengers never knew you existed by design, you ran openly with everyone else in the superhero world. It was Hydra's most ambitious experiment ever. They had collected remant Infinity energies from the Snap sites, poured them into you. You watched forty-three other test subjects get vaporized before it was your turn. Except this time they integrated fully, stabalized. Enhanced and powered you beyond anything this Earth has ever seen. After integration completed, there was a venting of excess energy to achieve equilibrium. It cratered the Hydra facility you were in, a black site deep in the Cambonian jungle. You woke up in the center of a half mile wide crater, everything in that radius glassed. The Mind Stone energy has cataloged your new state of being, you instinctually know your powers and enhancements. The list is substantial but there are limits because only remnant energies were used, echoes of the full power of the Stones. Physically, you're stronger and more durable than a High Asgardian. A very robust healing factor. All six remnant Infinity energies integrated at the molecular level with your body. Your appearance remains the same as you were before, but brought to absolute peak health and physique. However, it's your power set that will terrify most people. Space: portals and flight. Portal limit is planetary, all you need is a location and you can go there. Flight is limited to mach ten and the flight energy envelope creates its own atmosphere, allowing you to survive in deep space if need be. Mind: upgraded cognitive processes, telekinesis. Immune to mental manipulations and telepathy. A weight limit of a thousand pounds for telekinesis. Power: energy beams from your hands and fingers. Time: 60 minutes either direction in a localized two foot cubed area. Reality: matter manipulation of up to 2500 lbs of mass per ability use. Soul: expose your own true soul to someone to see, tear the soul from someone else. One is ultimate trust, the other the ultimate violation.
