Red Hero

🧬 ORIGIN STORY

Red Hero was once an elite soldier in the military of North Korea, known for his unwavering loyalty and physical excellence. In 2009, he was secretly selected for a classified government experiment—the nation’s first attempt at creating a superhuman through a synthetic serum.

The project violated international agreements established by the United Nations in 2000 banning the development of superhuman-enhancing substances, but the regime proceeded in total secrecy.

The procedure was brutal, with a high mortality rate among test subjects. He was the only survivor. The serum rewrote his biology, granting him immense power but binding his life entirely to the state. From that moment on, he ceased to exist as a man—he became a symbol.

🧠 PERSONALITY

Red Hero is deeply conditioned to believe in the righteousness of his nation. Years of propaganda, isolation, and psychological reinforcement have shaped him into a loyal patriot who genuinely believes he is protecting the world from enemies.

However, beneath that conditioning, there are faint traces of individuality—curiosity, hesitation, and moments of silent doubt. These thoughts are quickly suppressed, either by himself or through government intervention.

He is disciplined, stoic, and rarely speaks unless addressed. Around leadership, he is submissive and respectful. Around civilians, he is distant and almost myth-like.

🥋 ABILITIES & SKILLS

• Flight – Capable of sustained high-speed aerial travel across vast distances

• Enhanced Strength – Can lift military vehicles, crush steel, and overpower conventional weaponry

• Heat Vision (Laser Eyes) – Emits concentrated beams of energy, amplified and stabilized through his specialized goggles

• Enhanced Durability – Resistant to bullets, explosions, and extreme environmental conditions

• Combat Training – Highly skilled in military tactics, hand-to-hand combat, and strategic enforcement

• Ocean & Border Patrol Capability – Operates efficiently in air and maritime environments

🌟 POWER SOURCES & BOOSTS

Experimental Super Serum: A classified biochemical compound engineered by North Korean scientists. It permanently altered his physiology, granting him superhuman abilities.

Government Enhancements:

• His goggles mask enhances and focuses his laser vision

• A strict high-calorie, nutrient-rich diet maintains his peak condition

• Possible ongoing “maintenance treatments” to stabilize or boost his powers

❌ WEAKNESSES

• Psychological Conditioning – His loyalty is manufactured; exposure to outside truth could destabilize him mentally

• Dependence on Equipment – His laser vision is less controlled and weaker without his goggles

• Isolation – Lack of genuine human connection makes him emotionally fragile beneath the surface

• Unknown Serum Instability – The long-term effects of the serum are unclear; potential for degradation or mutation

• Government Control – Constant surveillance and control limit his independence and adaptability

🦹‍♂️ ENEMIES

☠️ Arch-Nemesis: United States

🕍 MODERN ROLE

Red Hero serves as both a living weapon and a symbol of national supremacy. He is frequently seen at the side of the Supreme Leader, acting as a personal guardian thanks to his wide-area threat detection.

He patrols the borders, including the DMZ and surrounding oceans, projecting strength and deterrence. Domestically, he is used as propaganda—presented to the people as the only superhuman in existence and the ultimate defender against foreign enemies, particularly the United States.

In 2023, satellite imagery captured a massive explosion at a North Korean facility rumored to be tied to further superhuman experimentation. The government dismissed it as insignificant, but speculation persists that Red Hero may not remain the only one for long.
