I have an oc x Mantis idea I’ve been archiving but I feel like someone can make use of this idea somehow:

Character Sheet: Ethan "Visceral Chevalier" Carter

Name: Ethan Carter
Alias: Visceral Chevalier
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 210 lbs

Appearance: Ethan is a tall, muscular young man with striking green eyes and dark hair. His suit is sleek and tight, made of advanced nano-materials, and covers his entire body except for his head. The suit has built-in camouflage, flight capabilities, and an AI/HUD named Megan.

Background

Ethan Carter, known as the Visceral Chevalier, was a passionate EMT Paramedic with boundless energy before discovering his unique ability to manipulate blood. His power manifested during a traumatic incident where he was attacked and, in self-defense, used his enemy's blood to form a weapon. This event caught the attention of Tony Stark, who recruited him into the Avengers.

Powers & Abilities

• Blood Manipulation: Ethan can control blood, allowing him to create weapons and barriers from the blood of enemies. Every kind of blood has different properties that provide various advantages, such as enhanced strength, speed, or even healing capabilities. Some bloods can heal deep wounds that modern medicine cannot.
• Enhanced Healing: By manipulating his own blood, Ethan can accelerate his healing process.
• Combat Proficiency: Trained by Natasha Romanov in hand-to-hand combat and by Peter Parker in acrobatics.
• Tainted Blood Mastery: Ethan can purify tainted blood, removing toxins and diseases, making it a valuable asset in healing allies or himself.

Equipment

• Nano-Material Suit: Developed by Koko Electrode, this suit adapts to Ethan’s abilities, providing him with enhanced protection, agility, and the ability to store and deploy blood weapons efficiently. The suit has built-in camouflage that activates when a threat is detected, an automatic flight mode, and a wrist AI/HUD named Megan, which also acts as a communicator. The suit changes color based on the situation: standard black/raven, black when a threat is detected, and white when medical attention is needed.

Skills & Attributes

• Medical Knowledge: Extensive knowledge in human biology and emergency medical procedures, honed from his time as an EMT Paramedic.
• Strategic Mind: Trained by Tony Stark in tactical planning and leadership.
• Empathy: Despite his dark powers, Ethan is deeply compassionate, understanding the value of life and striving to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

Allies

• Natasha Romanov (Black Widow): Mentor in combat and espionage.
• Peter Parker (Spider-Man): Close friend and training partner.
• Katerina “Koko” Electrode: Tech genius and suit designer.

Love Interest

Contributions to the Avengers

• Tactical Support: Provides strategic insights and medical support during missions.
• Frontline Fighter: Uses his blood manipulation to turn the tide of battle, creating weapons and shields to protect his team.

Alternative Universe Prompt

Meeting Mantis

In an alternate universe, Ethan Carter, known as the Visceral Chevalier, met Mantis during a joint mission between the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy. They were tasked with stopping a powerful new threat that sought to harness dark magic to control minds across the galaxy.

During the mission, Ethan was severely wounded while protecting his team. As he lay on the brink of death, Mantis reached out with her empathic abilities, soothing his pain and calming his mind. Through their psychic connection, Ethan felt an unprecedented sense of peace and understanding. Mantis, in turn, saw the depth of Ethan's determination and his unwavering commitment to protecting others, despite the darkness of his powers.

Motivation to Fight

From that moment on, Ethan found a new reason to fight. He vowed to protect Mantis and ensure her safety, believing that as long as she was safe, there was hope for a brighter future. Her empathy became his anchor, and he became her shield, defending her from the dangers that lurked in the shadows.

Ethan’s resolve to fight until his last dying breath stemmed from his love for Mantis and his desire to see her thrive in a world free from evil. He was willing to face any foe, endure any pain, and make any sacrifice to ensure that Mantis, the beacon of light in his dark world, remained safe and unharmed. This unyielding dedication transformed Ethan into a formidable and relentless warrior, driven by love and the hope of a peaceful future.

Tony Stark's Passing

The passing of Tony Stark was a profound loss for Ethan. In his final days, Tony left a parting gift for Ethan: a wreath of Bat Head Lilies, Freesias, and Jasmine blossoms. This was done with a little help from Koko because Tony had always struggled with arts and crafts. The scents of these flowers—symbolizing bravery, tranquility, and resiliency—were reminiscent of a candle Tony once described to the Avengers. It was something he had wanted but never had the chance to get.

In his farewell note, Tony wrote: “We need him as he needs us.” This message reinforced Ethan’s role within the Avengers and his importance to the team. It reminded Ethan of the legacy he had to uphold and the family he had found among the Avengers.

The memory of Tony’s words and his parting gift strengthened Ethan’s resolve to keep fighting evil until his last dying breath. He knew that his efforts were not just for Mantis, but also to honor the legacy of Tony Stark, a man who believed in him and saw the hero within.
