Character Data
Profile
In 2020, Calvin Waxman planted his first bomb at a construction site in the name of Mother Earth. In 2026, after a string of violent ecoterrorism attacks that left the authorities baffled, he was finally arrested when a double agent from his own organization turned him in. In prison, he served his time quietly, claimed to have reformed, then - upon release - began funneling funds from his vast inherited personal finances to organizations with aims like his own. On his deathbed, in 2089, he quietly had himself frozen in an underground facility (so as to re-emerge at a time when humanity was more at peace with nature), which time then forgot... but Overclock found. After bringing him back to life in a cybernetic body, Calvin was a quick convert to the Maverick cause once he realized humans were still hard at work wreaking havoc on Earth for their basic needs. Calvin, now known as Avalanche, firmly believes that the more clean-running, efficient robots are the answer to Earth's environmental issues, and strives to wipe humanity off the map - or at least put them in a position to do no further harm - by force if necessary. Avalanche has striven to have as robotic a body as possible, retaining only his brain (the only functional part of his cryogenically frozen body). In combat or on sabotage missions, he's armed with a large amount of explosive weaponry and a supercooled ice generator; however, his tendency to use spare coolant to power this weapon leaves him vulnerable to overheating.
Background
Calvin Waxman was born in 2000. He was a trust fund baby, supported but not totally spoiled. For most of his life he attended regular schools, where he was generally disliked for being better off (and generally disliked everyone else in turn). Graduation came, and Calvin went to college at Warren Wilson even though he really didn't have to - he could've supported himself on his inheritance for the rest of his natural life, if he'd so chosen. While there, majoring in environmental science (or at least dabbling in it), Calvin mixed with a group of students who really represented a local, far more radical branch of the Earth Liberation Front. In just a few months, he was swayed by their philosophy; in 2020, he planted a series of C4 at a worksite in Alberta, Canada that destroyed four bulldozers and killed two construction workers who'd happened to show up early that day. Calvin found, oddly, that he felt no guilt whatsoever - the men were 'parasites,' making their living by killing the Earth. Over the next six years, a string of bombings all over North America - and a few in South America - had construction sites everywhere tightening up security, until finally a CIA mole in the ELF turned in Calvin for his numerous murders and incalculable property damage while he was planting bombs around the basis of a superskyscraper in Washington state.
His parents, of course, hired the best lawyer money could buy, and Calvin got off scot-free on several of the murder charges, but not completely; the branch of the ELF did their part, planting several of their own in the jury pool via various means, and so Calvin served a relatively light sentence (compared to his criminal record) - 40 years. During his time in jail, he reformed (or said he did), found religion (though not really), and all-in-all did his best to look like a good rehabilitated citizen - a model example of how the justice system is /supposed/ to work, though opponents of his grumbled he should've been served the death sentence anyway. Even once he was out, now living on the built interest from his own funds, Calvin continued to serve ecoterrorist causes. He invested money in "green" organizations with one hand, then funneled cash to ELF with the other. He remained single and childfree, not wishing to even take the risk of populating the Earth with yet another human; and so, when 2089 rolled around and advanced stages of bone cancer were found, Calvin Waxman found himself alone and dying.
In his last few cognitive months, Waxman changed his will - all of his goods were to be willed to himself, and he was to be placed in a cryogenic state - a state that his lawyer was prepared to prove was, in fact, still living. The cancer spread throughout Calvin's body, and he died a relatively ignoble death, but his brain remained (somehow) safe and unharmed. Excising the vital organ and placing it into deep freeze nearly immediately, Calvin Waxman's brain proceeded to sleep through two centuries, his body an unsalvageable wreck.
In 2220, nearly on the bicentennial anniversary of his first bombing, Calvin awoke to find himself in a completely new body, free of pain and enhanced in nearly every way. The science had worked! He was a full-convert cyborg. After a period of adjustment, realizing he was now a nigh-immortal mechanical being, he realized that he could at least continue with his task of wiping humanity and her wasteful works from the Earth. Talking it out with Overclock, he came to the conclusion that robots clearly were capable of inventing newer and cleaner ways of living, ways that were in line with Mother Earth; Waxman, now known as Avalanche, was an easy convert to the Maverick cause.
