DR. MARCUS KEMP

PERSONAL DATA 

REAL NAME: Marcus Kemp 
OCCUPATION: Scientist, agent of T.O.W.E.R. 
IDENTITY: Secret 
CLASS: Human mind inhabiting android bodies 
LEGAL STATUS: Deceased 
OTHER ALIASES: T.A.L.O.S. (Tactical Assault Living Operative System) 
PLACE OF BIRTH: Farrell, USA 
MARITAL STATUS: Single 
KNOWN RELATIVES: NA 
GROUP AFFILIATIONS: T.O.W.E.R. 
BASE OF OPERATIONS: Headquarters of the United Nations, NY City (USA) 

HEIGHT: 6' 0" 
WEIGHT: 350 lbs 
EYES: Photoelectric 
HAIR: None 

HISTORY 

Marcus Kemp was an associate of Professor Wood who was working on a series of androids incredibly advanced for his time. One of his best prototypes was a perfect double of himself. 
In fact, it was so perfect that assumed it was the real Kemp and took his place. During a costume party, the android suffered a fortuitous malfunction, murdering Kemp's girlfriend, Sandra Cummings. 
The automaton escaped the party pursued by a group of enraged attendees. Upon reaching the laboratory, the android released the real Kemp, who, upon learning what had happened, destroyed the killing machine. Unfortunately, the pursuers were on the prowl and it was in vain for the good doctor to explain the strange story of the robotic double. 

They beat him up and then hung him up... 

However, that was not the end of Dr. Kemp, thanks to Professor Wood, who revived him, or at least his conscience, inside the body of another android. Since then, Kemp has worked for T.O.W.E.R. under the codename T.A.L.O.S. (Tactical Assault Living Operating System). 
But... Is he really Marcus Kemp or is it a machine that thinks it is the real Marcus Kemp? 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Marcus Kemp escaped death by transferring his conscience to an android body. Professor Wood added the Kemp-designed androids the ability to turn invisible, making them the perfect recon / infiltration soldiers. T.A.L.O.S.'s bodies are so technically advanced that they are closer to a living organism than a typical robot. However, they do not need to breathe, are immune to poisons and drugs, and possess inhuman strength, though not on the level of Cyclone. If one of these android bodies is destroyed, T.A.L.O.S. can survive as long as another body is within range to transmit his conscience. He can inhabit only one body at a time. T.A.L.O.S. has used bodies specially designed to pass for a specific person, adopting all the physical features of the subject in question.
