Prof. Mark Bisman
Prof. Mark Bisman is a former Nazi scientist who gained bismuth-based abilities and became a member of the Pnictogens.
Appearance
Prof. Mark Bisman is a tall (6'5"), well built man. He has dark brown hair, a strong jaw, bold eyebrows, and blue eyes. When lengthening his fingers, they have a metallic, crystalline appearance that comes in many colors. Prof. Mark Bisman is commonly seen wearing a thinly striped, white polo, checked suspenders, loose khaki pants, two multicolored belts, brown dress shoes, and a dark straw fedora.Personality and Motives
Prof. Bisman is a very intelligent and determined individual. Before training in Tibet, he was very cautious, fearful, and less confident which caused him to be used by his colleagues. After training in Tibet, he became much more confident. Prof. Bisman is very self-centered. His goals are never for the good of others and he usually does what he does out of revenge or to further his own interests. Specifically, many of the actions he takes are a result of his need for revenge, whether that be on his former colleagues or the Nazi Party as a whole.Abilities
Prof. Mark Bisman gained his abilities through the absorption of molten bismuth into the blood in his fingers. His base power of crystalizing and lengthening his fingers is simple but he has a multitude of techniques he can use. The list of Prof. Bisman's abilities goes as follows:Bismuth Fingers
Bismuth Fingers is the most basic of Prof. Bisman's abilities. He can crystalize and lengthen his fingers at will. He can change the shape his fingers crystalize into to serve various purposes.Bismuth Shield
Prof. Bisman can solidify and expand his fingers to create a thick shield of bismuth. Bismuth is brittle, so the Bismuth Shield is only ever used as a last resort.Bismuth Stilts
Prof. Bisman can crystalize and lengthen his fingers into stilts which he can use to move around high above the ground, to climb, or for other mobility purposes.Molten Slap
By heating and slightly melting his crystalized bismuth fingers, Prof. Bisman can preform a devastating slap of molten metal.Heightened Immune System
Due to the bismuth circulating in his blood, Prof. Bisman has an extreme immune system.Pnictogen Zap
As a member of the Pnictogens, Prof. Bisman is able to perform a powerful electric zap when close to the other members of the Pnictogens.History
Prof. Mark Bisman was born on June 23rd, 1910 in Germany. During his early 20s, Bisman began to study nuclear physics and eventually became a professor on the subject. Upon Hitler's rise to power in 1933, Prof. Bisman was appointed as one of the head scientists researching nuclear technology for the Nazi Party, along with his partner, Dr. Rudol Urnam. Dr. Urnam, after a heavy dose of uranium poisoning, gained incredible strength, at the cost of going insane. In an attempt to sabotage Prof. Bisman, Dr. Urnam dunked Prof. Bisman's fingers in a vat of molten bismuth. The molten bismuth was then absorbed into the blood of Prof. Bisman's fingers. He soon began to notice new, strange abilities he had gained from the bismuth. Prof. Bisman fled Nazi Germany, fearing Dr. Urnam's strength and madness, and sought out a Tibetan monk named Master Fe, the Iron Finger, who he had heard had similar abilities. Master Fe trained Prof. Bisman for months in Tibet until he had full control of his newfound abilities. Prof. Bisman could now crystalize and lengthen his fingers at will. Prof. Bisman then sought revenge on Dr. Urnam. He confronted the mad doctor at their lab in Germany. The fight ended when Dr. Urnam threw a nuke, forcing Prof. Bisman to let the bismuth take over his body and protect him, immobilizing him in the process. Two years passed before Prof. Bismuth was found frozen in bismuth by Nazis in 1945. They attempted to burn him, but unknowingly burnt the bismuth off of Prof. Bisman's body, freeing him from his frozen state. Prof. Bisman then killed all of the Nazis on site before attempting to leave his ruined lab. He was stopped by Arsenia, an escaped, psychotic Nazi test subject who had gained similar abilities. Arsenia was powerful and almost defeated Prof. Bisman. Prof. Bisman was saved by the Pnictogens, Solid Nitrogen and Phosfoe, who used their combined ability to produce a powerful electric zap to electrocute and kill Arsenia. After escaping the ruined lab, the Pnictogens explained to Prof. Bisman that the Nazis had one more trick up their sleeve. They had developed Hitler's last stand, the Carbon Copier, a being with the abilities of all carbon-based lifeforms. The Pnictogens were to secretly hunt him down and destroy him before being released on the world. Prof. Bisman decided to join them on their mission. After discovering the location of the Carbon Copier, Prof. Bisman and the Pnictogens fought him. Realizing that he is nearly invincible, they combined all of their energy into one final zap, sending him into orbit where Solid Nitrogen was able to teleport and knock him into the Eternal Cold, where he was forever frozen. Eventually, Prof. Bisman would once again be taken over by bismuth and kept in a frozen state until awoken again.Prof. Mark Bisman
