Hero Datafile: Blue Marvel

Adam Brashear, better known as Blue Marvel, is one of the most powerful heroes on Earth, a brilliant physicist whose antimatter-powered body grants him immense strength, flight, invulnerability, and mastery over cosmic energy. After years spent in obscurity, he emerged once more as a trusted Avenger and mentor, using both his extraordinary intellect and incredible power to confront threats beyond the reach of almost any other hero. Though capable of unimaginable destruction, Blue Marvel is defined by his restraint, believing that true strength lies in knowing when not to use it.
