Goldbug

Goldbug's powers and abilities

Powers and Abilities:

Powers: None. Goldbug is obsessed with gold in all of its forms and seeks to obtain as much of it as he can through any means necessary. He may have some health problems associated with the radiation poisoning he received at one point, or from the necessary treatments.

Goldbug uses various weapons (like his Golden Gun) and equipment (like his different Bug-ships). His exo-skeleton increased his strength to enhanced human level, and it had a wafer-thin parachute sewn into the costume. His costume is padded for some degree of protection against injury and is coated with an enzyme that immediately breaks down the hardened gold from his Golden Gun, safeguarding him from accidental suffocation. He also keeps a supply of the acid Aqua-Regia, which is used to dissolve real gold.

His Golden Gun fires gold dust which hardens on contact and immobilizes his victims in a metallic material of great strength. This metal, not truly gold, coats the target in an air-tight cocoon, preventing any movement and sensation. He has also designed a liquid version of his gold dust, packed into small grenades.

His Bug-ships are hovercrafts, equipped with weaponry which has included laser weapons, radar scanners, suction and grappling devices, and a device able to drain physical strength and convert it into electrical power. One of his ships functioned as a submarine, and additionally had cloaking devices and depth charges.
