Personality
Brilliant. Quirky. Nerdy. Endearing. Gorgeous-wait, that isn’t a personality trait, is it? Well, for Maddox it is. Mainly because it includes charming, suave, romantic, seductive. Along with caring, thoughtful, and far too much of a way with women. He is pretty social-he gets along well enough with guys, and alright, he’ll talk to random people in public places, but mainly it is with the women. He’s flirty and fun, and knows what different women look for, and knows how to be it to get what he wants. Not that any relationship that became physical lasted long, after his first and only wife.
When dealing with his daughter, however, he becomes protective. He cares about her more than life itself, and is not willing to let anything happen to her-excluding her as Red X. He is obsessed with the suit, improving it constantly, along with all the other x-themed gadgets-including the x-cycle and x-car (the latter in the works). He likes taking care of orchids, too. He’s the type to explode with anger at the little things, but when something serious happens, keep perfectly cool and fix the problem. He vents, and gets all his emotions out, nothing building inside him and no grudges held. Even as he vents, he never is violent, although can defend himself if needed-but wouldn’t throw the first punch, since physical violence is more tedious than anything else. He’s very persuasive, knowing what he’s talking about, even if it’s the most useless fact you can think of.
History
At six years of age, Maddox was put into the foster care system, born initially in the tiny town of Smallville. He vaguely remembers his parents, and he was shipped from home to home across the nation. Most places couldn’t even be considered that, and other places weren’t meant to be in the first place, just a place for the state to put him. He doesn’t talk about his childhood, unless his daughter asks, and even then he doesn’t say much. He was considered emotionally disturbed, but entirely brilliant, long beyond genius (his metahuman ability, but it was so long ago that term didn’t exist). However, he knew this would draw attention to himself, so toned it down as much as he could, still graduating high school at sixteen and Metropolis University at twenty one, because at that point in time the government paid for his educated until he reached adulthood, twenty one.
Always a playboy (how could he not, with his looks?) much of his young adult life, when not working for the DOD, was spent partying at the beaches around lakes and rivers. However, this wasn’t only because of his looks, but his pheromones. They’re a chemical level, not able to be deflected by magic or mind, even from poison deflection because they’re natural. They just affect everyone and everything, although he doesn’t know exactly, only considering himself just attractive. Not only humans, strong attractions towards him, but animals and plants as well. Animals are kind to him, running up for attention. Plants bend towards him, and they grow willingly under his care. He just thinks of it as a green thumb and nothing more, and is oblivious to his metahuman gene even for all his brilliance.
He lived in Metropolis for years, in his own apartment, building up a name and steady place in the government just being himself. He never tried, he never had to-yes, he worked long hours, and yes, he had troubles making end’s meat, but reputation and respect was nothing he had to worry about. He became well established in the military, and was brought into the newly-formed DEO, dealing with metahumans, but mainly dealing with the newly discovered chemical xenothium. Exposed to the radiation, his own metahuman gene allowed him to filter it so it didn’t kill him, but kept his age and aged him down over the years, until he kept an external appearance of about twenty five, while his insides were the same as his actual years.
At the beach he met Rebekah, a pretty young woman who caught his eye. She was smart and coy, and denied his advances-even as he could see she wanted him. He was persistent and romantic, eventually wooing her, and decided to marry her. He was in his forties, although looking his thirties, the age recession only beginning, while she was nearly ten years younger anyhow. Madly in love, he moved from Metropolis to Federal City to live with Rebekah. They had a child, Victoria, who he adored, soon loving her more than his wife. Rebekah soon became jealous, watching him become younger and younger as she aged, dwarfed by his brilliance even as she was the one ‘bringing in the bacon’. She couldn’t stand the looks he got, the flirting women less than half her age, even though he was a loyal and loving father.
She wanted a divorce. He couldn’t stand her jealousy, and she wanted to know exactly what he did for a living, which was all top-secret material. So they separated, and Victoria chose to stay with him, and the pair moved to Jump City where he works at Wayne Enterprises. Lexcorp has been on his tail as well, and of course the DEO wants him back, but so far he has kept his job. Especially with the research and development project there-all the funding he wants, working with the infamous Lucius Fox, the perfect way he can develop weapons for his daughter.
He found her Red X suit, learned about her xenothium addiction, and saw how powerful she was. And he went with it. Supported her. She had opened a door to a world Maddox hadn’t known he could ever be a part of. He had a challenge. A purpose. Something to get excited about, to see what he could do next.
