Code Name: Not sure yet.

Birth Name: Felix
Appearance: Literally a gigantic snail, Felix is a grey gastropod whose combined body and shell weigh in at about 2 tons. His spiralling shell is two meters tall, mostly brown, battle-scarred and constantly growing. He also wears a set of advanced mechanical prosthetic arms and legs engineered by the scientist Adam da Vinci. The limbs were designed on Felix’s request to resemble human appendages, which they do to a degree, and allow him to hold himself in heroic poses.

Personality: Felix has a need for speed, and at times seems to be more of a thrill seeker and adrenaline junkie than pursuer of justice. Being a superhero is convenient for his derring-do tendencies though so it’s working out so far. He’s also a calm and patient individual in his down time, which is inborn for most snails, and isn’t easily flustered or angered generally. While not a genius intellect, Felix certainly isn’t slow witted despite his appearance and enjoys puzzles.
Origins: Haven't worked out all the details yet, but he is currently a member of SAFEGUARD, and his bionic limbs were created by Adam. Stay tuned! Secret Origins revealed!
Powers:
-Snail Slime Felix secretes snail slime of various purposes from different glands which not only cover the surface of his skin but also are stored within reserves built into his bionic limbs. The produced mucuses are a clear gel with a number of unique properties.
SlickSlime: All exposed parts of Felix are coated in this slime which keeps him from drying out. It can also prevent most physical injuries due to its ability to significantly lower the coefficient of friction to whatever the slime covers and the damaging object, such as speeding bullets and blunt or bladed weapons.
StickSlime: This is a thicker, condensed, more viscous slime, which can be used by Felix to adhere to various surfaces. It has incredible adhesive strength that can even allow the two ton snail to climb up the side buildings. The glue is also useful for trapping.
The slimes do dry out after a time, depending on the amount and consistency of what is produced, and becomes a silvery substance when dried.
-Bionic Limbs The thick mechanical legs allow Felix markedly faster locomotion than he would otherwise be used to. Engineered to be sturdy enough to carry his tremendous weight with ease and let him walk or run, the “Springpulse” mechanisms built into the legs when used in conjunction with SlickSlime give him a flea-like leaping ability.
The mechanical arms also come with mechanical hands and fingers which allow him the use of..well arms. They are controlled with great dexterity by Felix and also take advantage of his natural physical strength.
The bionic limbs contain chambers that store excess snail slime. Numerous valves in the arms and legs allow the slime to be expelled to either coat himself or cover targeted objects and surfaces.
They can also transform and become like a metal operculum or ‘door’ that covers the opening of the shell when Felix retreats into it.
Felix controls the bionic limbs with both his remarkable foot muscles and embedded digital contacts with his nervous system. Damage to the limbs do not adversely affect Felix physically and are they are detachable.
-Super Strength Hauling around a couple of tons of shell, slime and snail gives Felix obvious strength. While the bionic limbs on their own can lift up to 10 tons with ease, he has demonstrated greater magnitudes of strength.
-Shell Felix is able to retract his entire body into his shell. It has been shown to withstand almost any kind of physical damage and vast temperature extremes. The bionic limbs can transform and act as an operculum for the shell’s opening and seal it tightly, allowing him to survive in space for a time and even reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere. The shell continues to grow and repair itself as Felix grows, and he needs to consume a lot of calcium to keep it healthy.
Skills: -Ummm
Interests: -Conchology -Thrill Seeking -
Weaknesses: -Salt -Slime reliance: Felix’s slime reserves do have a limit and take time for him to replenish, so if he runs out of slime stores he is in danger of drying out. He would need to retreat back into his shell to stay moist and recover. -Slowness: Without his bionic limbs fast movement would be impossible for Felix, because he is still a snail. -French accents
