Powers:
Body Hardening: Kendrick's muscular structure is much more advanced than normal. His muscles have advanced to keratin-like fibers, but retains elasticity required to move and makes him significantly stronger. Kendrick is able to lift about 3 tons, run 50 mph, and jump about 60 yards.
His bones are reinforced, allowing him to withstand more punishment. His skin has undergone the most drastic change. While it still feels like skin to the touch normally, adrenaline gives it a stone-like hardness. Additionally, his skin layers grind against each other, so when Kendrick throws punches or kicks, which create sparks. Kenndrick's body is practically impervious to heat.

Volatility: Kendrick also emits an incredibly flammable substance which he has some conscious control over. He can concentrate it in his hands as an oil that is not unlike sweat, which he can use to cause fires. Thanks to the rock-hard qualities of his skin, the sparks created from punches and kicks can light his foes on fire. Alternatively, he can emit the substance as a gas and cause explosions.

Power Source: Produced naturally. Kendrick requires nutrition for his powers to work correctly.

Power Weaknesses: Kendrick has no ranged capabilities and zero defense against mind-alltering powers. Additionally, Kendrick's volatility power can run out, leaving him without his fiery abilties.

Fighting skills: Kendrick is extremely well versed in muay thai kick boxing, but also incorporates maneuvers from krav maga and street brawling into his own fighting style. He also uses his powers to great affect during combat.

Other Skills: Has experience in metalwork.

Personality: Normally, Kendrick can be described as a gentle giant. He makes jokes and is very friendly. When fighting, that persona is completely withdrawn, and replaced with complete stoicism.

Psychological Weakness: Especially brutal to gangs. Often tries to laugh away his problems.

Goals: Testing himself.
Allegiances: None, currently. He fights wrong-doers, but only because he loves a fight.

History: Kendrick grew up in one of the worst areas of Compton, California. His father was black, and his mother was hispanic and white. He was a skinny, shy kid, and, with his mixed race, he was often victimized by his peers. Kendrick hated school, where he was constantly beat up. At 15, he began talking to his gym teacher, who he found out was formally a cage-fighter. Isaac, his teacher, agreed to teach him what he needed to know to defend himself. Once properly conditioned, Kendrick took right to it. Glad that their son was developing a skill rather than getting into gangs, his parents supported him best they could by taking him to tournaments where he swept the competition.

Two years later, while Kendrick was at the gym, his parents came home to robbers in their house. In a panic, the robbers shot Kendrick's parents dead. Kendrick, at 17, became a ward of the state, though it was more of a formality than anything else. By the time he actually made it to the halfway house, he was weeks away from his birthday.

At 18, Kendrick found work at a metal shop, making various parts for cars and appliances. He lived his life best he could; he made friends, made mistakes, and made laughs. He kept up with fighting, but supporting himself often got in the way. Kendrick's powers manifested at 22, where he noticed much more stiffness after work-outs than normal. He never noticed that his skin was harder than stone until an accident at work. His arms should've been crushed, but wasn't. Kendrick was metahuman. Though he was fired, Kendrick learned of underground fights between metas through work friends. He signed up immediately, and was massively successful. Eventually, competition grew stale, and his prize money made for a large savings. He quit and began moving around, learning of new fighting styles and fighting injustice wherever he could. Kendrick has only just made his way back to California, and settled in L.A., hoping to make a different in the metahuman conflict
