Other characters: N/A
IN-CHARACTER:
Character name: Thomas "Speed" Magnus
Character journal:mutriarchy
Series name: Secret Wars: House of M
Canon notes: Canon point is after Pietro's hostile takeover.
Species: Mutant.
History: Battleworld is a collection of fragmented universes, pieced together by Doctor Doom and Doctor Strange in a last ditch attempt to salvage them from being completely annihilated. Doctor Doom is now God Emperor Doom, ruler of all. And not one of the residents of Battleworld recalls that this patchwork world was not how it had always been.
Genosha is but one of many domains of Battleworld. Each Domain is a remnant of a universe, and fraternization between domains is strongly discouraged. Only permission from the ruling leader, the Baron, allows for travel between them. Following the story of Earth-58163, otherwise known as House of M, King Erik Magnus lead a rebellion and overthrew humans as the dominant species of Earth (or as far as they are aware, the Domain of Genosha). Genosha is a domain in which mutants reign supreme, and humans are the oppressed and subjugated minority.
Thomas "Speed" Magnus is the eldest son of Wanda Magnus, grandson to Baron Erik Magnus of Genosha, and older twin brother to William "Wiccan" Magnus. He and his brother have lived their lives in the lap of luxury - they're untouchable by the law, protected by their grandfather's name and their mother's fearsome wrath. Despite his pampered upbringing, Tommy still has a strong sense of justice. He and his brother are known throughout Genosha as troublemakers, fighting for the rights of humans everywhere.
Things in the Magnus family have always been rough, but they've recently gone out of control. Tommy and his brother go out of their way to anger their grandfather to prove a point and rebel against the way he rules, while their uncle Pietro collaborates with Namor - the Baron of the nearby Domain of Atlantis, in order to overthrow King Magnus and make himself Baron. Meanwhile, human freedom fighters are fighting to kill the King as well.
At his current point in time, Tommy believes his grandfather and aunt Lorna to be dead - the world believes that human rebels killed him, but in reality they simply served as the scapegoat for Pietro and Namor's coup. His mother has just agreed to rule alongside her twin brother, ushering in a new era of terror.
Personality:
In the original Marvel 616 universe, Tommy Shepherd enters the scene as a volatile, unstable young man eager to get some revenge on the people who've wronged him. Seconds after being let out from his cell, he's off on a rampage caring nothing for the people he may hurt. The few words he says are snarky, blunt, and pitch dangerously towards supervillain territory. His first few minutes say a lot about him.
Tommy Magnus, on the other hand, is introduced while in the process of being arrested for staging a protest for human rights with his twin brother. Unlike his counterpart, he's not full of aimless rage for a lifetime of mistreatment. Instead, he was born into the royal family of Genosha, a crown prince with the world at his fingertips, and he knows that the world is twisted and the only way to reform it is by taking action. Tommy Magnus understands that he is in a position to change things for the better, and so every waking moment is spent rebelling against the system of abuse and oppression that his grandfather has built up... just, maybe not in the best way he could be doing it. He's still as destructive and bratty as his AU counterpart.
Tommy takes pains to not seem like a sensitive soul. His primary modes of interaction are: asshole, caustic asshole, and sarcastic asshole. Like a small child harassing the person he likes, Tommy's interactions with people he likes are usually obnoxious for the sake of being obnoxious. He has feelings but it's rare that he shows them. He is, however, a little more in touch with them as he's had the benefit of being raised in a mostly loving family in contrast to his 616 counterpart. His tender side is reserved for special occasions and even then he tries to remain light and sarcastic when it comes up. Occasionally, if someone listens close, they may be privvy to a nugget of wisdom. Tommy knows enough to have strong opinions about the things he cares about and takes the responsibility of being a Prince seriously.
However, this doesn't mean that he is in any way a paragon of good. Tommy, despite his best intentions, is still often insensitive and callous with his words and loose with his decisions. If there is a less than legal way to get things done, he won't be the one objecting to it. In fact, chances are he's the one who brought it up - if you're a mutant able to run faster than cameras can follow, you're going to take advantage of that. Tommy's solution to most every problem is just to speed through it, or to create a big enough mess that the other party will be too busy cleaning it up to notice his escape.
Being a Magnus comes with it's downsides. His family is constantly at each other's throats. The twins ideals clash with the rest of the family, leading to a somewhat strained relationship between them, their mother, and grandfather.
Deep down. Deep, deep, deep down he's not sure if he's good enough. Billy is far more vocal about his insecurity, but Tommy has his moments of uncertainty and worry. These are few and fleeting, done in private and resolved in private, as it doesn't take much for him to pick himself back up and come back at it with a renewed vigor.
The 616 Tommy has an issue with justice as he was more or less legally tortured by a system that allowed it. This Tommy has never experienced that first hand, but his sense of justice and right and wrong are still strong enough to recognize what is wrong. Tommy Magnus believes strongly in doing what he can for the people that are in his care and wants to reform his society to be a place where everyone can feel safe and live freely.
All in all, he's significantly less of a trainwreck than he could be considering who he was raised by.
Abilities: Despite looking like your average teenage boy, Tommy is a mutant.
Tommy's mutant abilities all have to do with speed. His top speed is thought to breach the speed of sound (though this is not a speed he can maintain indefinitely). He can maintain a speed of roughly 175 miles per hour for a period of four hours without need to rest.
Along with that, Tommy can generate hyper-kinetic vibrations capable of destabalizing his molecules which allow him to move through solid objects. He can also use this ability to accelerate molecules in matter, causing it to explode.
His body is also considerably more durable than most. It's adapted to his superhuman speed, resulting in strong bones and a modified metabolic rate.
Tommy processes information much faster than the average human being. He's able to perceive situations and react to them much faster than anyone else would be able to. This ability can be used both in combat and in mundane situations, such as reading a book at supersonic speeds.
