Was originally Machine Teen in the old Marvel RPG.
He was created in 1984. So he is literally 25 years old
this year. His original background was a alternate
person as Animal Teen just from a different
dimension.

His Powers have remained exactly the same through
the years. At the core he is who he is. With only minor
changes to his powers.

His Looks on the other hand got ALTERED due to
City of Heroes. BEFORE City of Heroes, he was more
in Skinny CYBORG (The guy from DC) looking guy. I
remember seeing Justice League on Saturday
morning cartoons when they introduced Firestorm
and Cyborg. I thought thats how I want the body for
Machine Teen to look like. His eye piece and head
have always looked like it has though. I always
imagined him with a CYCLOPS eye piece. He has
always had Green armour.

When I turned 21 MACHINE TEEN turned into
MANCHINE. Literally in the RPG's MANCHINE became
a mentor and not a player character. Always helping
new heroes start up there base on Earth.

A QUICK ORIGIN OF MANCHINE

Manchine parents both died weeks before Manchine
got his powers.  His mother was an EMT and his
father was a Policemen.  

Manchine got his powers from a spaceship that
crashed on Earth Brian saw it and decided to
investigate. After he entered the ship he was
bombarded by radiation. Minutes later the radiation
destroyed his entire nervous system. The ship being
self aware and programmed to save lives, saved
Brian by replacing his nervous system with parts of
itself, it's core. It decided to merge its core
consciousness with Brian's and thus saving his life.
Before too long Brian woke up began to learn how to
wield his new-found powers.

Manchines Powers

Manchine has a had all his nerves replaced with a
alien metal.  His outer skin can be armored.  The
metal gives him his powers.  The longer Manchine is
in the armor the more his body is able to use his
powers.

Superhuman Strength: He is capable of lifting up to
over 10 tons when wearing his armor.   This can be
increased to several hundred tons if he decreases
the targets gravity.

Superhuman Speed: The armor allows Manchine to
move and react at light speeds.

Flight: The armor can allows Manchine to reach near
light speeds.

Energy Conversion: The armor is also able to convert
any nonkinetic/nonmagic energy into a power source
Manchine can use.  

Self-Contained Life-Support System & Environmental
Protection: The armor allows manchine to operate in
vacuum or underwater, providing its own life support,
and is shielded against radiation.  Manchine has no
need to eat.

Artificial Intelligence: An internal artificial intelligence
which Manchine calls computer that provides
strategies, background information on opponents,
prevents a lock on from targeting systems and
monitors sensor readings.

Sensor Systems: Manchine sensors allow him to scan
for everything (except magic although he can read
the energy they produce).  All info shows up on
Manchines visor.

Invisibility: Manchine can absorb light making him
appear invisible.  

Holographic Imaging: Manchine can alter his looks by
absorbing specific light frequencies making him look
like a normal person.

Enhanced Durability: His armor is indestructible.  The
armor cannot be cut.  Kinetic energy can still be
transferred to Manchine.

Force Field: Energy shielding that can protect the
user from harm. At the begining of Manchines carreer
he was only able to extend it 25 feet outward.

Energy Beams: Manchine can release energy beams
from any where on his body.  Manchine normally
releases kinetic beams as they do the least amount
of permant harm.

Energy Field: Manchine can extend a field that allows
him to absorb or increase any energy around him.

Focased Eye Beam: Manchine can focus most of his
energy through his eye piece and produce a beam
that is capable of destorying a moon in one hit.

Energy Sword: If need be Manchine can produce a
energy sword from his knee.

Hyperspace Transport: He also has the ability to
open gateways to Hyperspace.  He is one of the few
beings that can travel through Hyperspace
unharmed.  If he pushed himself to his limit he is able
to open a gateway large enough for a city to pass
through.
