WEAKNESSES

  1) Kinetic Energy Overload: Dire: L-8: Behemoth has the ability to absorb blunt force Kinetic Energy and then release it in the form of an attack, a shield, energy wave or leaping ability. The more Kinetic Energy he absorbs, the more powerful his released action will be. However, Behemoth does have a limit to the amount of Kinetic Energy his body can store. If he cannot release the Kinetic Energy fast enough, then his body will suddenly reject the Kinetic Power and escape his body instantly. This will render Behemoth unconscious and cause him to transform back into his human form.

  2) Must Breath Air: Fatal: L-10: Behemoth must breath Oxygenated Air or he will ultimately suffocate. He can hold his breath for an unknown extended period of time, but eventually will need to take a breath.

HISTORY:

Kenneth Crush had a rough life. He was orphaned as an infant and raised in a catholic orphanage, where he was considered a troubled problem child at best. Kenny was always large for his age and became the resident bully early in his childhood. The orphanage nuns were constantly challenged by Kenny's unruly behavior. Fortunately for the orphanage, Kenny found an outlet for his irate behavior in the football program, where he excelled as a defensive lineman, terrorizing the opposing team's offenses. As a high school student, Kenny became somewhat of an icon, and was revered as the state's best defensive player. This allowed him to obtain a full scholarship to the University of Nebraska, where he started as a defensive lineman in his sophomore year. His junior year found him in the lime light breaking 3 school records with the most sacks in a game and in a season and most tackles in a season for a lineman. There was high expectation for Kenny as his senior football season approached. He was billed as the premiere defensive lineman in all of division 1 college football and a certain first round draft pick for the pros. Tragically all of his dreams came to an end on the practice field just 2 weeks before opening game day. He fell unconscious on the hot summer day's practice field and, upon examination, tested positive for steroids. His hopes and dreams were crushed as he was suspended from participating in NCAA sports programs for the season, which eliminated his chances of ever going pro. Devastated, Kenny stormed out of the coach's office where he received the news, and sped off in his car with no discernable destination. Moving at speeds far beyond the posted limit, Kenny lost control of his vehicle on a curved section of country road, causing his car to flip front over rear several times while sailing down a cliff towards a ravine. There the car would rest on its roof, with Kenny strapped inside. As Kenny lay unconscious, a rustic colored liquid oozed into the shattered windows and engulfed the automobile and its helpless driver. To make matters worse, Kenny's car had stripped a set of live power lines upon its descent down the mountain side, which charged the oozing liquid with 10,000 volts of pure electricity and caused an explosion which vaporized everything within a 100 yard radius. Unfortunately, Kenny's car had impaled a toxic waste canister that had been buried in the ravine and the electric current completed and detonated the potential bomb, which set off a chain reaction of explosions from 10 other canisters buried along with the first. Upon viewing the crater left by the explosion, authorities pronounced Kenny Crush dead on impact, and closed the file on his case and his life. The authorities were premature in their assessment, however, as the explosion had not killed Kenny, but instead, fused him into a Behemoth.
