History: The creature who would call himself Maelstrom was the son of the Inhuman scientist, Phaeder, who was a scientific rival of then Inhumans king Agon, father of Black Bolt. Phaeder was something of a radical by Inhuman standards, he suggested cloning as a possible means to extend the lifespan of the Inhuman race, and the ruling council, led by Agon, voted to exile Phaeder. Phaeder sensing which way the wind was blowing, secretly cloned himself in order to fake his own death and vanished.
Phaeder traveled to a small island in the south Pacific to continue his research in secret. There he discovered a fellow exile, Morga, but this lovely woman was a Deviant. Shunned for her (by Deviant standards) disgusting appearance, she was considered a rare beauty by Phaeder’s Inhuman eyes. Morga shared more in common with Phaeder then either of them knew, a geneticist as well, she added her knowledge to Phaeder’s work. The two eventually fell in love and their union produced a son, Maelstrom. Discovered by the Deviants, who not only hated Morga’s appearance, but feared a mixing of the races, quickly captured her and the infant, Maelstrom. Phaeder alone escaped. Morga was summarily put to death. Maelstrom was put in the slave pits. Eventually rescued by his father, they returned to a secret laboratory in the ruins of Attilan, where he and Maelstrom swore their revenge on the Deviants and the Inhumans. Upon Maelstrom reaching the age of adulthood, Phaeder exposed him to the Terrigen Mists, giving Maelstrom psionic mastery of kinetic energy. His power rivaled that of Black Bolt himself.
Decades passed, and Maelstrom soon surpassed his father in the area of genetics. In order to learn more, they traded advanced cloning technology to various super-villains, in return they would receive hard data of how their technology fared in the field. Phaeder and Maelstrom are thus indirectly responsible for many of the later actions of the Red Skull, High Evolutionary, and Magneto. Soon, Maelstrom took on the acolytes Phobius, Helio, and Gronk, from the ranks of the Inhumans and Deviants and calling them Maelstrom's Minions (or sometimes The Terrible Titans). But later, Phaeder grew too old and decrepit to likely survive the cloning transfer to a younger body, Maelstrom dutifully tended to him as he continued their research.
One of Maelstorm and Phaeder's associates, Dr. Hydro, used Terrigen Mists to transform humans into amphibians, against their wishes. The Inhumans sought to cure the humans, they were shocked to find that Terrigen Mists were involved. Finding this, the Inhumans the help of Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. Richards creates anti-terrigen particles to cure people who have been transformed into Inhumans, but this is observed from a distance by Maelstrom, who planed to get the anti-terrigen particles so he can take over Inhumans. So Maelstrom sent his minions in order to retrieve the anti-terrigen mist but the Minions are defeated by the Thing and Stingray and are captured. The canister however falls into the ocean which Maelstrom sought to retrieve.
Falon, one of Maelstrom's minions, delivered the canister of anti-terrigen particles to Maelstrom. Maelstrom orders Deathurge to kill the captive Minions to prevent Inhumans from interrogating them and cloned them elsewhere. Regardless, this action puts Thing, Gorgon and Karnak on his trail, who manage to find their way into Maelstrom's lab but are defeated by hypersonic rays and they are held in place in a prison. Karnak manages to break free as Black Bolt arrives. Maelstrom holds his own against Blackbolt, but Phaeder dies in his sleep while the two are battling. Blackbolt leaves to stop the anti-terrigen missile as the Thing fights Maelstrom, but is completely outmatched. Thing defeats Maelstrom by throwing anti-terrigen mist on him which takes away his ability to absorb and manipulate Kinetic energy leaving him powerless. Maelstrom then order Deathurge to kill his current body so that he could escape the conflict into a new body. He also destroyed his laboratory, in order to prevent the Inhumans from studying his plans and findings.
Maelstrom has come back time and again, making many deadly and dangerous attempts to succeed in his goals. He even made a nemesis of Quasar, killing him (briefly) to take his Quantum bands, though he was killed againa nd they were restored to Wendell. Even losing to Squirrel Girl hasn't kept this dangerous devil of a man down. Maelstrom will not stop until victory is his.
Equipment: List your guns and swords here. If they are not something normal describe them in detail. If it's an Uzi just tell us the model, we can wiki real world stuff. Vehicles and Gear too.
Powers: Maelstrom can absorb, channel, and otherwise manipulate vast amounts of kinetic energy; this includes kinetic attacks made against his person. He could hypothetically absorb a full strength punch from Thor and redirect the energy transferred into an energy blast or simply use the blow to strengthen his own power without any ill effects. He can also use this power to shrink or grow to unknown limits. His stored kinetic energy is often visible as a glowing plume of energy about his body.
He has a certain measure of superhuman strength, but rarely exerts himself physically; he has learned to use his control of kinetic energy to augment his physical power. If he had a perpetual source of kinetic energy, his strength would know no limits, he has in the past used the energy created from the Earths rotation to power him, or simply stopped the rotation itself. Obviously, conventional attacks are useless against him.
At the time he was absorbing the Earth's energy, he was able to absorb Iron Man's repulsor blasts. When the Vision attempted to move through Maelstrom in a partially materialized state, which normally causes great pain to the target, it didn't affect Maelstrom at all, and instead seemed to cause feedback in the Vision. He created an energy field around Firefox, Hercules, and Wonder Man, which they were unable to penetrate physically, and which deflected Monica Rambeau's energy form.
On two separate occasions Maelstrom has used the Quantum Bands to augment his already considerable power. On one of those occasions, Maelstrom completely ignored a full strength blast from the Infinity Gauntlet; though the fact that Maelstrom had taken on the powers of the cosmic-entity Anomaly may have had something to do with it as well.
Skill: Maelstrom is a genius in a multitude of areas of science, particularly genetics and biology, his level of comprehension and study is centuries ahead of current sapient knowledge.
Weaknesses: His own Nihilism is his own weakness. He will destroy himself and any aligned with him if he has to in order to achieve victory. After all, death is temporary to the likes of him.
Trivia (Optional):
- He beat the Dark Rider's once...with one attack. All of them.
- Maelstrom does not like to be compared to Thanos. He is a fool who loves Death like a person. To truly love a God like that must involve the whole, a lack of self.
- Maelstrom is not suicidal. He just knows when a body is about to give out in life. Besides...he always has a spare.
