Personality[]
Fred is the more confrontational member of the Brotherhood of Mutants which is attributed to his strength but he is not the smartest of his team. Due to his weight, he is often subjected to bullying which often ends with him losing his temper. His attitude and the social isolation he felt was what made him a prime recruitment choice for Mystique. After his run-in with the X-Men after kidnapping Jean, Fred failed to make any new friends outside of his team which caused him to grow closer to them instead.
Physical Appearance[]
Fred is a huge, obese, Caucasian boy from Lubbock, Texas. His hair is blonde often styled in a mohawk, he also has brown eyes and has a grand amount of body mass due to his mutation which he uses in a fight seeing it as an advantage.
Outfits[]
When not on missions and at school, Fred wears a green short over a white, almost cream-coloured undershirt with blue jean overalls that go over both shirts and also wears white tennis shoes.
When on missions, Fred's outfit consists of the white undershirt from his casual wear as well as a green vest which flays at the sleeves, the vest also has pockets. The rest of the outfit is that of dark, army green, cargo pants that are tucked into thick, brown combat boots. He also wears silver cuffs on his wrists.
Powers[]
Fred's mutation grants him superhuman strength, endurance and invulnerability. His skin proves to be indestructible as he can withstand many heavy and powerful attacks such as being hit by Scott's optic blasts, another advantage he takes control of is his ability to become immovable so long as he remains in contact with stable, flat ground. Many of the objects he can endure being hit by are that of cars and an airplane. Despite being overweight, his still moves with the agility of that of a athletic male, an ordeal that leaves his opponents often surprised.
