all that work on the grifter graphic fer this?

...sigh...

very well.

i'd first like to customize grifter by giving him more of a wolverine-type, mysterious past (pre-'origin') -- splice in occasional flashbacks to his team 7 days. his world war II days. even further back. maybe eventually discovering a vandal savage or ra's al ghul-like history.

additionally summing up his ability to survive the gen factor mutation becase of his already, latent meta status. an extreme healing factor that not only saves him in battle, but essentially prevents him from dying: something he's grown to view as a vampiric curse, outlasting all of his friends, families, loves, etc.

he recklessly risks himself in battle, tauning and defying mortal wounds, will simultanously striving for one.



Okay, Bobo, I'll play your game...

First of all, I'd avoid ANYTHING to do with Wolverine, in terms of origin. Mysterious past, flashbacks, haunted by a past he doesn't remember...junk it. It's been done to death by Wolverine to the point of self-parody. I used to love Logan, but now I try my best to ignore him within the X-titles.

BUT!!! I like the latter idea. The healing factor that he looks at as a curse, and the suicidal tendencies (band joke in 3...2...1...) are cool ideas. But let's not dabble in mutant vs meta. Try this on for size:

Cole Cash (was that his secret ID?) is a man whose life is killing him, even if his body won't die. A veteran of no less than five wars (two of which the public isn't aware of), all Cash has known is the violence of the battlefield. From his entry into the US military, to his acceptance as a member of Team 7 (and subsequent "enhancement"), to his current status as mercenary and member of WildC.A.T.S., Cole Cash is a man who walks with the Reaper, dealing out death to all in his path. To his friends he is an enigma, an loyal but distant. To his enemies he is a plague rat, killing his foes with an efficiency never known before, but never tasting death himself.

And therein lies the heart of the problem. Cole Cash is a man who WANTS to die. Cole Cash is all-too-aware of the crimes against humanity that he has perpetrated. Of the innocents who became no more than collateral damage in the conflicts that he rose unscathed from. Of the fact that, while the bell tolls for others, it may never toll for him. Because his "enhancement" at the hands of the Team 7 doctors, his unnatural healing and combat skills, has left him with nothing more than the realization that he will outlive everyone he ever dares to love and the guilt that comes from the life-decisions he has made. So he continues his violent life-style. As a member of WildC.A.T.S. this man, known only as Grifter, takes on the toughest assignments. The hardest jobs. The mission with the least chance of survival. Because Grifter knows that the salvation he craves will only come when his existence ends, when the Grim Reaper, whom Grifter has been running with all his life, finally turns on and destroys the wretch named Cole Cash.
