Biography Michael O'Connel was a lifelong Scottish troublemaker, petty criminal, and arsonist destined for prison. But, as fate would have it some local kids discovered a crashed alien spaceship and used it as a secret fort. Michael noticed the kids acting suspiciously for a few days and on a whim decided to follow them, and thus also became aware of the vessel. The kids had been content to play in it, but Michael naturally wanted to exploit it for profit. This led him to loot a gauntlet from the corpse of the enormous alien pilot, which bonded to his arm when he reached inside of it. In the following weeks, Michael secretly practiced with his newfound abilities. The gauntlet granted him a life supporting force field, and is very strong. He also learned that it can generate powerful energy blasts, and he eventually figured out how to use it for a crude form of propulsion as well. However, the gauntlet was built for a larger species, and using its full power proved physically taxing for Michael. Seeing the potential for greater gain, he decided to leave his life of petty crime behind and stepped up to supervillainous crime. He came to be opposed by the Tartans, a Scottish superhero team, and they dubbed him 'Gauntlet' for obvious reasons. After his mother passed away, Michael moved to America and began a new career as a competent supermerc. He eventually joined Enforcers Incorporated, where his unusual powers earned him an exclusive contract. Capabilities and Motivations Michael has a comically oversized high-tech full-arm gauntlet of unknown alien manufacture, which is the obvious origin of his supervillain name -- Gauntlet. The device generates a golden force field of coherent energy that provides life support and bio enhancement. It is a powerful weapon able to crush things, and can shoot intense blasts of energy. It can also be used as a propulsion system. On land it allows a kind of clumsy superleaping by projecting a jet of energy like a rocket, hurling the wearer at great speed, then braking before landing. The gauntlet has been damaged before, but repairs itself rapidly. It has bonded itself to Michael and cannot be removed without surgery or some kind of magical or technical intervention. It may be semi-intelligent, or at the very least has an on-board AI to operate its fundamental functions and maintain its self contained power source. Michael also wears a tactical harness with various useful items. He likes supertech and gizmos, and spends some of his mercenary moolah on new 'toys'. He also routinely carries one or more conventional weapons and will use them even though the gauntlet is usually a far more effective weapon. He secretly gets a sense of personal satisfaction when he manages to solve a problem or succeed at something without using the gauntlet.
