Name: Brent ‘Potato Bug’ Oates
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Side: Good
Affiliation: S.H.I.E.L.D.
Description:
Personality:
Brent lives for his work. Which is playing with robotics! The boy learned fast after an accident took much his life away. As prosthetics were not enough. Brent is an incredibly intelligent young man yet his intellect is nothing to his party attitude. Often a joker, he makes remarks whenever the need arises. Yet he is incredibly motivated. When he makes goals, he meets them. From his childhood he was such a man.
Powers/Abilities:
Brent is a master marksman in person. He has a cybernetic set of legs that can kick the same strength of a mule (or so he says) and a cybernetic arm which is as gentle as his one other arm. His skills with robots allows him to create a number of robotic tools. Most of which he has the size of insects and affectionately, look like little trilobites and potato bugs. He’s something of a charmer yet when you think about it how hard is that now?
History:
Brent Oates was born in Texas, Dallas. Even raised as a cowboy with his rich parents owning one of the most recognized ranches in the world of the Western Hemisphere. Yet as times were good, they turned. In a terrible accident his mother and father both were killed. Brent survived but lost the use of both of his legs, and his one arm was only able to work at half the normal efficiency. It so happen to be his good arm too.
Yet, his grandmother and grandfather took over the ranch. Planning to sell it and use the royalties to help Brent into College and make a good career. They even had him prosthetic legs that did not work, but helped him seem better for kids. Growing up however was hard loosing his mother and father. Then he started hearing about robotics, a still fresh starting career. His goals were the same.
Brent took classes in a number of schools. Even working with some of the best robotics engineers of the times, like Hank Pym and coincidentally a Mr. Boliver Trask. Yet while they worked on working large models. Brent was devoted to small, sophisticated ones that in turn would become beginning of prosthetic limbs. Unfortunately, others teased his work for the length in time such tools were made. Often saying it was slower than a turtle, a ‘potato bug’ at that. To ridicule his handicap the man was called ‘potato bug’ from then on. Yet determination refused him to be daunted. In time he finally had finished the first of his small drones.
It was here he was enlisted to S.H.I.E.L.D. after his special robotics were the perfect means of spying. With talented work, the intelligence gathered has been used for millions of missions.
Though most his work is not publicized. He never cared. He even got time to make his own new arm, and legs to ‘speed up work’. Something he figures Fury knows was more a personal achievement.
