Skills/abilities: As Lucas, none. As the Corroded King, Lucas' body continually converts nitrogen in the atmosphere into a foul-smelling, fast drying viscous extradimensional material which hardens into a kind of armor around him. He also can fire a heated stream of this material from his mouth. His size is increased to a height of 25 feet and he gains enough strength to press 25 tons.
First appearance: Project Wildfire: The Once and Future King
Brief personal history: Part time hospice worker Lucas Vassar has been the butt of the joke his entire life. Too short, too poor, too dirty, he's never been enough for anyone in his age group. His only friend, a girl named Sonya Stewart, as impoverished as he was who knew he was gay, went as his prom date and never betrayed him, died due to a stray bullet two days before he began to change. After the day he met Agent Wildfire, nobody was laughing at him anymore.
