User blog:TheMightyTom99/Spartan - Superhero Idea

I am hoping to start a new superhero series that relies on exceptional villains, good storylines and an interesting hero alongside science and realism to enthrall readers. The main protagonist is the reason behind the name of the series: Spartan.

Backstory
Zachary Leventios was born on 5th September 1975, in Chania, Greece. His mother, Zinovia Agape, was a prostitute and, in 1972, married his father, Dimitri Leventios. Zachary showed exceptional intelligence at an early age, however, his social awkwardness and schizophrenia led him to being constantly bullied. His nose was broken on one occasion and it was decided that in 1982, the family would move to Athens.

However, on the way there, the family car was hit by a drunk driver. Both of Zachary's parents died, and he was left in the care of his rich uncle, Marinos Leventios, who decided that it was time that Zachary was allowed to prosper with his intelligence. However, Marinos died a year later of an aneurysm, leaving his wealth and mansion to Zachary to inherit when he turned eighteen. Zachary was looked after by his uncle's butler, James Winston.

Zachary immediately started to use his wealth when he turned eighteen. He travelled the world, training with many different organisations: Shaolin Monks, Japanese Senseis, Judo Grandmasters and many others. He trained with Swords, Bostaves, Bows, Tonfas, Escrima Sticks, Nunchuks, Naginatas and Shurikons amongst others.

Not only did he hone his physical skills and strength, but he also lectured with the world's greatest detective and logical thinking minds to understand psychology, sciences, engineering, philosophy and how to think on his feet.

When Zachary returned, he was a changed man, and ready to take on the criminal world, who he believed were responsible for all the evil in the world. However, his experiences with death led him to follow a path where he would never kill, on incapacitate.

To assist him, he inlisted the help of James Winston as the operator of the supercomputer at home, and his childhood friend Michael Spyros as a Field Assistant and medical advisor.

Gadgets
Spartan wheres an armour suit similar in many ways to Deathstroke's, that is formed of many different pads and kevlar sheets, making it bullet, stab, punch and fireproof to some extreme. His own physical resistances stand him in good stead against most opponents.

Meanwhile, apart from his armour, Spartan wields a bostaff that can break in half into two escrima sticks. He also uses a samurai sword and shield when against knife armed opponents, although he will only use his blade to block and parry, never to slash. He also uses Shurikons as distractions, and gas grenades to escape.

His helmet is equipped with holographic sight and night vision, as well as a internet connection, enabling him to access his supercomputers at Marinos' mansion.

It is these computer, operated by Winston himself, who Zachary had trained in advanced engineering and technology. The computer is one of the most powerful in the world and can process problems incredibly quickly. It has access to data files worldwide and so can identify weapons, DNA and even bullet trajectories, if his own brilliant mind cannot identify it.

Skills
Spartan is a martial art expert, as well as a brilliant marksman, archer, tactician, detective and crime fighter. Here are a list of his skills:
 * Black Belt in over thirty different Martial Arts including Karate, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, Thai Kickboxing, Krav Maga, Taekwondo and Kung Fu.
 * Can hit a target 700 metres away with lehal accuracy almost any firearm (although he refuses to kill with them) and from 400 metres away with a bow.
 * Has an almost Sherlock like ability to take in seemingly insignificant information and solve crimes with them.
 * IQ of 196.
 * Expert with technology (invented several aiding machines in his armour).
