character information ● name: Teddy Altman ● canon: Marvel 616 ● canon point: Just after the reveal that their team-mate will grow up to be Kang. ● age: 16
● abilities: Teddy has an assortment of powers from his alien heritage (although he thinks it's a mutation at his canon point).
From his Skrull side, he's a shapeshifter, with few limitations on what he can shift except size; 5'-8'ish seem to be his limits, but he can add or remove bulk, add limbs, grow armour, change colour, or just look like almost anyone. If rendered unconscious, however, he defaults back to his "human" appearance.
From his Kree side, Teddy has also inherited super strength (although this is partly due to his Skrull side as well), which seems to be capped somewhere about the 100 tons range, and due to the Kree having adapted to a planet with high gravity, super endurance and stamina.
Teddy's alien physiology also grants him fast regeneration, even of major tissue damage, some immunity to standard human poisons and diseases, and also complete resistance to and ability to recognise pheremone-based powers.
Apart from that, he's essentially a normal modern day teenage boy. He's fairly good at sports, average at computers and his lessons, and very good at what for him is real-world super-hero trivia.
● strengths:
Teddy is mostly a genuinely nice guy. He's sometimes sceptical about people's motivations, particularly after previous experiences, but he tries not to be judgemental. He'll listen and be compassionate wherever possible and mean it. He's very affectionate to the people he lets in, physically and verbally, and polite to pretty much everyone else. He forgives pretty easily on his own behalf, although less so when the people he cares about get hurt. And he's very loyal to the people he cares about.
He tends to be protective and caring of the people around him. He's always wanted to be a hero, and to him that seems to mean making sure no-one gets hurt- except the bad guys. He's usually more pleased by a peaceful solution wherever possible, but he will attack if he has to, particularly to protect others.
He's both patient and modest; he doesn't push his way into the limelight, and he'd rather be a good team member than cause division. He doesn't seek acknowledgement, and certainly not at anyone else's expense. He'll give up his time freely, if people need him, and he won't expect anything back in return.
He is very good at deception, particularly when it comes to pretending to be other people. Although the physical aspect of this is down to his shapeshifting, he's also a good natural mimic, and can keep his own feelings and thoughts well hidden in order to play a part, to the point of being able to fool acquaintances of the person he's pretending to be.
● weaknesses:
Some of his most positive characteristics be taken too far. He's patient and easy-going and protective, but he can take it to the point of self-sacrifice. He'll get hurt so others don't have to, and he'll be there for others even when his own life is falling apart. He'll be loyal even when he's being used. It takes a lot to make him stand up for himself, emotionally or physically.
He bottles up his feelings all the time, and very rarely expresses them openly, particularly when he feels that other people need his time and support, or if he thinks his true opinions and feelings would hurt them. This not only causes him strain, but can make it difficult for him to genuinely connect to people- a real problem in conjunction with his need to be accepted. And although it's rare, if the stress of hiding his feelings gets too much, he can unleash them a little too strongly.
He wants to be accepted and liked, even if that means hiding who he is or changing his physical appearance, an impulse he struggles with particularly at his current canon point. This can make him easily led, even when he knows better, and fuels his tendencies to both self-sacrifice and keeping his feelings to himself. He's let himself be used, even when he felt uncomfortable, for the acceptance he gained for it. His self-esteem isn't very strong, and although at core he's always the same person, some of his surface character traits shift with the situation.
He doesn't always think things through, in particular when following other people's lead, or when he's trying to be heroic. He's done some very reckless and foolish things, without considering the consequences, particularly for himself. And although it's rare, losing his anger can push him to say things he wouldn't usually, again without thinking about what it might lead to.

[He's uneasy about the video, but he tries not to show it, making himself solemn-faced. And, okay, maybe he's made himself look just a little bit older this once. It's easier for him to feel less like he might be written off that way, and maybe it will be easier to persuade other people too.]
Um- [Bad start, he needs to sound sure of himself like the real heroes do, and he makes himself say his words clearly and with a certainty he doesn't quite feel.]
I'm new here, but I want to be helpful. I know it's dangerous outside the barrier, but people still go out anyway. I'm willing to go out too, but I'd rather not do it alone.
[Even if he probably could, he doesn't like being alone.]
So if you want someone to watch your back, let me know? I'm pretty good at it, I think, and I'm stronger than I look. And if not- thanks for listening anyway.
[He lets himself give the camera a smile, small and quick, before he leans forward to turn the video off.]
