The Adventurer - The Master of Any Weapon

Adventurer is Graffito's long lost brother. He too got his powers from
taking the super-drug, Tinalbin-Z. However, his exposure to it was
accidental and as explained in his bio it had a similar effect on him by
the abilities he gained but to a much lesser extent. As I explained to
Starchild in my response under Graffito, the drug isn't very common, but
people can get it if they try hard enough. I haven't really worked out
the particulars of all that yet, but I can also tell you that if someone
where to get it and take it, the results wouldn't always be the same as
the abilities that these siblings got from it. The idea is that the
drug kind of unlocks a latent "mutant gene" in people and gives them
whatever powers that they would have if that gene was active, hence the
"Z" in the name of the drug since I call it the "Z-Factor Gene" because
you know chromosomes are "X" and "Y." So, instead of it being another
"X" like Marvel does it, I just went with the next logical letter.
"Tinalbin" is just a nonsense word that I made up that I thought sounded
like what a drug would sound like.
