"I am the prayer of the people. I am the hope of all those who are weak. I am the answer to all those who cry out for relief. I am the calm in the storm. I am the being that all demons fear! I am Joey Kasaras, the Stupendous Man™!"
Full Name: Joseph Yarrick Kasaras
Alias: Stupendous Man™
Birth date: June 6, 1998
Current Age: 18

About
Description:
Joey
has brown, Earthtone hair, light blue eyes, tanned skin, and a muscular
frame. He stands at 6' 2" lbs, and weighs 205lbs. He typically spikes
the front of his hair.
Stupendous
Man has a dark blue color mask and , navy pants (made from the bottom
part of a Judo Gi), and sturdy dark blue work gloves. He has a weighted
silver cape across his shoulders that is held together by detachable
yellow clips. On the center of his chest is an inverted triangle with
the symbol of Shoputar in the middle, inlaid in yellow and gold. The
symbol itself looks like a combination of the letter S and a lightning
bolt. The triangle has a red background. His mask has custom made
goggles, which protect his eyes into from the wind when he flies. He has
arm bands and shin protectors, made with steel. The blackish part on
the armbands are tungsten, which he incorporated after experiencing
intense heat. His boots are made of steel as well (which he bends easily
when he moves due to his Stupendous Strength), but inside is layered
with leather, carpet, and polyethylene.
Personality:
Of
the four Comets, Joey has always been the most serious one. He's sober
by nature as a result of him being outside so much growing up. He has a
deep appreciation for nature, specifically with the wind. It is this
inclination that allowed him to connect to Lir before Jonathan or his
other friends. He has a bit of a sarcastic streak, and he's known to
make biting remarks to people he finds stupid. He's proud of his
fighting ability, to the point of overconfidence. Of course, with
Stupendous Powers, it's no wonder that he's a little cocky. He's
extroverted by nature, and he's not afraid to speak his mind ever.
Early Life
Joey is the second child of five. He was born in the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Allen, Texas on Saturday, June 6th, 1998, weighing 8lb 6oz. He is the oldest son and second child of Jason Bilius Kasaras and Haven Margaret Kasaras (née Jacobs). He suffered from a Vitamin D deficiency and was required to get at least 3 hours of sunlight a day (which eventually led to infusions). He got involved in reading comic books at a young age, as his father was an avid collector of comic books.
At age 8, after following three kids to a basketball court where they were beating up his younger brother Jonathan, Joey met his future master Gerald Spring. Master Spring taught him how to tap into Lir, which is the energy that comes from the life of the Earth itself. His brother Jonathan (alias Detective) joined him in learning Shoputar, the martial arts that Master Spring teaches. They met their two other best friends, Kylie Kiwanis (alias Sunrise), and Steve Eckleson (alias Black Stallion). The four friends became heroes together, forming a group known as the Comets, based on Master Spring's alias the Silver Comet.
At some point he starts a relationship with Angela Hóte.
Where We Are At
After receiving a text message from an anonymous source, Joey finds out that his girlfriend Angela has been kidnapped and taken to the Island of Obamashu. With his main suspicion being cast to the founder's son, David Obamashu, he confronts him. See Super City Confrontation for more details.
Abilities
Stupendous Man™ is 1000 times stronger, faster, and dexterous than the strongest of men.
As a master of martial arts, Joey studies the Kanassan fighting style, Shoputar, which focuses on finding balance within itself (the word sho means state and putar means balance, meaning shoputar translates to state of balance). There are four forms of Shoputar, Bukko, Poken, Lirkata, and Dato Senku. Joey is proficient only in Bukko (which translates as vitality), and Lirkata (which translates as earthly energy techniques). Because of his upbringing and his constant desire to stay outside, he has a hard time focusing on himself, which is what Poken (which translates to Inner Energy Fire or Chi/Qi) focuses on. Master Spring nor any other practitioner has been able to master Dato Senku (form of perfection), which requires possession of a different power than either Lir (Yang Qi) or Po (Yin Qi). A person who tries to use Dato Senku without possession of this "perfect" energy will die utilizing the techniques, which is how both Master Spring and Steve died.
As
mentioned, Po has a near one-to-one relationship with the concept of
Yin Qi. It requires concentration, inner peace, and balance to learn.
Lir, on the other hand, is Yang Qi, or the ability to feel everything
around the earth. A person gathers Lir by grounding to the Earth and
cloaking it around them (represented by the background electrical
charge) surrounding a person. A typical person only has 0.01 Lir
surrounding him. As Lir can be represented as electrical charge, Master
Spring developed a unit that represents a person's ability to manifest
Lir (which was his own specialty), where 1 Lir is equal to 1 Coulomb of
electrical charge.
Stupendous Man's DNA has been Stupendously modified, causing a chain reaction to his body, utilizing all the potential the DNA has while reducing redundancies. He received this boost just before his master died, signifying Stupendous Man taking the position of the new Master of their Martial Arts Studio. As the DNA has reduced redundancies (With only 13,627 nucleotide differences from the 3.2 billion nucleotides that DNA contains). As a result, this causes his cells to run more efficiently, gather more ATP, and enhanced his all his senses. It also changed the amount of voltage needed for an alpha motor neuron to activate (from 80mV to 120V for activation potential). This, along with training, heightened his electrical potential, allowing him to gather more Lir.
With
the results of his training and increased potential, Joey learned that
he could fly using the Shoputar technique Lir Kudoh (lit: Outer Energy
Flight). As there are no currently living masters of Lirkata besides
Joey, he is the only one who can utilize this specific technique, which
requires Lir that only someone whose cells have been Stupendously
charged can gather.
- Max Punch: 2,000,000 PSI
- Max Pushing Force: 173890 N
- Max Running Speed: 33,000 MPH
- Max Long Distance Speed: 1200 MPH
- Max Flying Speed: 120,000 MPH
- Max Energy: 100 Lir
Techniques
The
Kanassan martial art Shoputar has four forms or techniques. Below is
the list of techniques Joey has mastered. Each form has five succession
techniques. Mastering each succession technique would be the equivalent
of obtaining a higher belt (obi) from a martial art such as Ju Jutsu,
Karate, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, or Kung Fu. As the series progresses, each
technique he uses will be listed here.
