Apothecary Fu
Xue Qiang Fu (a.k.a. Apothecary Fu)
Apothecary Fu is a short, Chinese man with a warm smile. His eyes tend to twinkle as if he harbors some amusing secret he almost – yet won’t – tell you. His thin hair is gray with a touch of black still showing. He combs it back ... when he remembers. He dresses very casually in a loose tan shirt, denim pants, and either tennis shoes or boots in winter. His steel-gray, thin mustache is always neatly trimmed as his matching goatee.
Fu Qiang Xue is an accomplished alchemist and healer who spent most of his younger years as a traveling adventurer. While Apothecary Fu has no mutant or other kind of powers, he is a very accomplished alchemist and gadget inventor.
Most of his inventions circle around the use of alchemy powders which use extremely advanced – in some cases revolutionary – chemistry and other scientific theories. The result of these are effects that are rarely seen outside a high-quality stage magician. Only with this, he actually can affect the real world by generating ice, fire, or other effects, combined with illusions so real, the viewer is often convinced of their ‘reality’.
He lives in New York City’s Chinatown as the local alchemist and healer as well as owner of the shop, Fu's Herb and Tea Garden in central Chinatown. Xue also found himself in the unexpected role of mentor for one of the local New York hero groups, the Knights Vigilant.
Retired hero and adventurer, known for his inventions, mysterious powders, and martial arts skills he used during his career. Now he is a mentor and advisor to the Knights Vigilant.
