Super Identity and Secret Identity: Captain Hammer, also known as ... Captain Hammer. He basically sticks around in his hero persona all the time, confident that he could beat down any losers who think they can take him on.
Alliance: Hero, duh.
Gender Preference: He'll take all the females you can give him.
Age: 28.
Birthday: N/A - He'll tell you only if you promise to give him a present of some significant monetary value.
Personality: Captain Hammer is a vain, egocentric hero. People love him. And he loves their attention. We can probably consider him the stereotypical jock, especially when juxtaposed next to the nerdy Dr. Horrible. And just like the stereotypical jock, Captain Hammer tends to shove nerdy dorky people into the metaphorical locker and give them metaphorical swirlies. Essentially, his head's so big that he feels like he's at liberty and it's his duty to wail on those creepy guys who are currently villains or could potentially be villains in the future.
Also, he's not particularly smart. All his brainpower went straight to his muscles. He knows how to smooth talk and how to keep up false pretenses, but in heart of hearts, he's an idiot with a self-centered sense of justice. Everyone thinks he's a swell guy.
Appearance: With a winning smile and smooth moves, Captain Hammer is a suave, handsome fellow who knows the way to a lady's heart. Maybe several ladies' hearts. He generally wears black gloves and a t-shirt emblazoned with the Captain Hammer logo.
History: Captain Hammer was born with a full head of hair and the ability to benchpress five-hundred pounds, with hawk eyes and a brain of a cardiologist to process what his hawk eyes see. Naturally, his parents were thrilled with the new moneymaker in the family. They encouraged him to train his powers and develop his skills at school (e.g. beating up dorks). Once he reached maturity (after graduating from high school), Captain Hammer went public, snatching endorsements like he snatched lunch money from the science club and the band geeks and the LARPers.
The public was thrilled to have a new superhero in their midst, especially after the tragic fall of Justice Joe a few years earlier. News stations broadcast Captain Hammer's heroic exploits daily. Toy companies began to make action figures. He started being invited to balls and fancy parties at the mayor's house, raking in the cash and front pages of newspapers. He signed on with sports companies, restaurants, gyms -- so long as he got some cash money out of them in the process.
Captain Hammer went largely unopposed for several years, beating down the Pink Pummeler and Purple Pimp whenever they reared their ugly heads. The Evil League of Evil sent out some of their best, but Captain Hammer managed to fend off some of their worst. Or at least, take credit for fending off their worst. Certainly, he began to consider the Evil League of Evil the haven of all freakshows on the planet (such was his narrow scope) and tried several times (unsuccessfully) to beat down Bad Horse. No one cared that he failed, so long as he tried and that was all that mattered.
Fairly recently, a new face has come on the scene, one Dr. Horrible, the exact type of villain Captain Hammer had come to enjoy beating up. The two were polar opposites and after a few clashes, became largely regarded as nemesises. Captain Hammer, of course, always wins against Dr. Horrible's weirdo contraptions and saves the day, usually with a stroke or two of sheer dumb luck.
Secret Identity: N/A. He earns his wage by being a hero.
Power: Super-strength, popularity, some sort of immunity to pain, groupies, being extremely photogenic, incredible doucheyness, the like.
RP Sample: With a drawn out sharp inhale of the fresh mid-morning air,
Other: (Anything else you might want to add or say.)
