Image/Appearance:
History: Dr. Paul Duval, a young chemist working for a pharmaceutical company in Paris, accidentally spilled a potion contaminated by some unknown organic substance on his right hand. To his dismay, his hand began to turn to stone-like material still capable of movement. Accidentally touching his other hand, he found that he could transform his entire body into the stone-like material. He also discovered that any matter he touched also turned to stone.
Mercenary by nature, Duval decided to exploit his bizarre power for personal profit and turned to theft, quickly becoming one of France’s most accomplished criminals as the Grey Gargoyle. When he became bored with lack of challenge to his crimes, he decided to travel to America and wrest the secret of immortality from Thor. He was twice bested in combat by him. He was among the many costumed menaces assembled by Doctor Doom to disrupt the wedding of Sue and Reed Richards.
He returned to what had proved more successful in the past - pure mercenary endeavors. He joined with Blizzard, Hypnotia, Whirlwind and Blacklash to do freelance jobs for criminal organizations like the Hand.
Equipment: N/A
Powers:
Transmutation - Duval has to touch himself with his right hand to transform into the Grey Gargoyle. The Grey Gargoyle is endowed with all the physical properties of stone with his sentience and mobility intact. The Grey Gargoyle has superhuman strength and resistance to impact and temperature extremes in stone form. He also retains his normal speed and reflexes in granite form. The Grey Gargoyle has the ability to transform any organic or inorganic object into stone by touching it with his right hand. The process is instantaneous and the maximum volume of matter which can be transformed at a single touch is 10 cubic feet but the volume seems to differ the past several years. Their have been instances when the Grey Gargoyle has transformed an object into stone that measures more than 10 cubic feet like trees, yachts and even buildings with a single touch. The Grey Gargoyle has mastered his stone touch and could even revert energy into stone when exposed to his right palm. People and objects turned to stone revert back to their normal state after one hour. Organic victims do not suffer any ill-effects other than disorientation upon returning to normal. However a person is susceptible to severe trauma and even death if their granite-like substance is damaged. If a person in granite form is shattered into pieces and not properly reformed after one hour, then they will revert back to normal form as a bloody mess. The same issue occurs when an arm or leg is broken off in statue form because that person will be missing that limb upon reversion to normal.
Superhuman Strength - While in his transformed state, the Grey Gargoyle's strength is increased to superhuman levels. At his peak, he is capable of lifting about 11 tons.
Superhuman Durability - Also while transformed, the Grey Gargoyle's stone body is highly resistant to physical injury. He can withstand high caliber bullets, falls from great heights, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury.
Limited flight - Despite being in stone form, the Grey Gargoyle possesses the ability of limited flight and can perform a standing jump of about twenty feet with his powerful legs.
Skills: Duval is an accomplished chemist, and is fluent in both French and English.
Weaknesses: Although his powers to turn others to stone are quite effective, Duval has become quite incompetent over the years, accidentally turning his allies into stone and "stoning" himself. If he "stones" himself, his powers won't work on anyone.
Trivia (optional):
-Oh, boy... not my favorite day!!!
-He's 5'11" tall.
