MP - Mapleleaf Titan

Background & Origin: Dave Parker was a top notch professional soccer player in Canada when a chemical accident gave him the power to become a giant. He studied social work in college, but got side-tracked when his professional sports career took off. He enjoyed being in the spotlight, and for the past decade he has been the leader of a prominent Canadian vigilante team. He was previously known as “Giant,” but changed it to something more colorful after a youthful fan remarked at what a dull name that was.

Combat Tactics: He considers his primary duty to be team leader, and his secondary duty is stalwart hero and brick.  He assumes giant form at the earliest opportunity; it provides him greater power, a better view of the battlefield, and is much more intimidating than his normal size.

He favors wrestling, and his large hands can wrap around most people. Kicking also works well, given that normal size people come about to his knees.

Personality Traits:  Stalwart hero.  He takes his leadership role very seriously.

He is what the Public Relations people call “steady.” His popularity consistently polls around 60%. He has an “everyman” quality about him - clearly he cares passionately about people and country, strives to do what is right,  but doesn't always know what the right thing to do is. He tends to sway a bit with the winds of popular values - partly this is calculated PR, but mostly just his temperament. Deep down, he is a good-hearted person who believes in equality for all, and loyalty to friends and family.

Appearance:  5’6”, 140 lbs.  He is very small of frame for someone with superhuman strength, and can be a bit self-conscious about that.

Powers:  Titan naturally has superhuman strength, and he can assume giant size (“as big as a tree”).

Notes:  Artist unknown (I don’t recognize the signature, and trying to Google it turns up nothing).  Character by P. Rogers, January, 1999.

Mapleleaf Titan originally appeared in They Might Be Characters Vol. 1.
