| Biography |
|
Dr. Derek Harmon excelled in medicine, not out of passion for the field, but because his prodigious intellect demanded a challenge. A restless and ambitious young man, he aced his medical exams and entered a promising career, only to discover he found the work mundane and unfulfilling. The constant, tedious effort of saving one life at a time felt insignificant. His true calling, he felt, was to have a grander, more impactful presence in the world—a role bigger than any hospital or human endeavor. It was this creeping dissatisfaction that gnawed at him, cultivating a sense of superiority that made him believe he was destined for greater things. He became aloof and arrogant, disdaining the small, personal victories of his profession and hungering for something more dramatic and powerful. |
|
His wish for a 'bigger' life came true in the most unexpected and overwhelming way. The manifestation of his supersize mutation was not a gradual change, but an explosive and terrifying event. During a routine hospital shift, he felt an unprecedented surge of energy, and his body began to grow and shift, pulling extra mass from a source he couldn't comprehend. The experience was both exhilarating and frightening, an uncontrolled display of raw power that left a trail of chaos and destruction in its wake. This moment cemented his new identity and fueled his latent desires for dominance. He saw the mundane world as a toybox to be rearranged, and his old life—with its frustrating limits and small-scale concerns—fell away completely. |
|
With his new abilities, the former Dr. Harmon fully embraced a life of villainy, becoming the mercenary known as Highrise. Driven by the thrill of his power and the freedom from societal constraints, he began to use his unique mutation for profit. His immense size and unstoppable strength made him a prized asset for various shadowy organizations and criminal enterprises, earning him wealth and notoriety far beyond what medicine could have provided. His mercenary lifestyle, however, is not just about money; it's a constant validation of his oversized ego and a way to exert the profound, undeniable impact he always craved. To him, the chaos he causes is not collateral damage, but an affirmation that he has finally become what he was always meant to be: a titan who bends the world to his will. |
| Capabilities and Motivations |
|
Highrise is a mutant with the ability to gain and lose mass from an extra-dimensional space, changing back and forth between his normal 6 foot size to his 60 foot size. While normal sized, he's a normal man. While supersized, he's superhumanly tough and strong, with various abilities that allow him to use his vast size and mass effectively. |
|
Highrise's power is an extension of his will, allowing him to tap into a different dimension and project his desired form into reality. When he grows in size, it's not just a physical transformation, but the manifestation of an amplified self, becoming a formidable presence. This process grants him not only significant physical capabilities but also the ability to dominate his surroundings and opponents. His actions reflect his commanding nature, altering the environment and challenging those who stand against him. He loves the feeling of looking down on everyone else. |
