Bulwark

The defensive force behind The Vanguard, as well as the original "mobile HQ". He has been a member of The Big Five since its founding, but does not do press conferences. All information obtained on him has come from the other members of The Big Five. His personality can best described as a "friendly giant", though when facing villains, he appears to become a merciless war machine... Though maybe that's just for the cameras.

History
Bulwark grew up in a small town out in West Virginia and lived a fairly uneventful life, being the son of a roofer... Until he Awakened during his service in the Vietnam War. The story goes like this:
 * The battalion Bulwark was apart of was ambushed and was forced to stand their ground. Soon, ammo ran out and Bulwark panicked. In his own words, "I was out of control; a beast took control over my body. I stood up and screamed with the cry of a Norwegian berserker. My arms turned into guns and my skin to stone. Countless bullets grazed my body as I killed every last one of them." He lost consciousness soon afterwards and was sent to the PIU and was detained for several months, before being used in the newly-created Parahuman Brigade, along with Captain Fission and Dragonfly. The rest... Is history we've all read before.

Bulwark became good friends with the Captain during their service together and, following his release from interment, joined him in The Vanguard, forming the first ever super hero team, The Big Five, soon afterwards.

Power
He has hybrid powers: Living Fortress and ''Twinpiece Artillery. ''The specifics of them go as such: Along with his powers, his mutation is that his skin is permanently calcified, giving it the appearance and durability of granite.
 * Living Fortress: He can turn himself into a stone fortress large enough to fit an army inside. In this form, he can move freely and is fully aware of what is going on in the vicinity, as well as within his walls.
 * Twinpiece Artillery: He can turn his arms into large machine guns which don't seem to use any ammo.
