Little Bull
James 'Stud' Williams is one of the
world's most successful male porn stars. Independently wealthy and highly
regarded (despite his profession) in business and social circles, it was at a
glittering society bash in
In 1983 Tigra discovered she was
pregnant, even after the precautions they had taken. Stud supported her strongly
throughout the pregnancy- taking up serious acting, starting trust funds,
marriage etc. However after David Xeon Williams was
born tensions rose and the couple split (but not divorced). Tigra went to live
with a Furry Community in
The Furry Community Tigra joined was organised and run by a bipedal horseman called Derkson. He was a powerful mutant with the power to transform willing people into Furry (anthropomorphic animals) forms with each application of the power lasting 1 lunar month. Despite Derkson inability to make non-mammal based forms the Community thrived, but was never isolated from the real world- indeed it is set on/in an Indian Reservation and operates the world only Furry hotel/casino business. David therefore grew up surrounded by 'weird' but never cut off from the real world or its problems.
David inherited some of his
fathers traits- he was always very big for his age,
and very popular. From his mother he gained a measure of her fur, speed,
and enhanced agility. SHIELD classified him as an Above Average Mutant,
certainly not superhuman. David preferred things that way. In 1998 however he
and the whole Community got a major shock with the news that Stud had been
kidnapped and turned into a Minotaur like creature. After convalescence in
David was very deeply hurt by his father's behaviour. Even though he knew what his father did for a living David had never seen such a disgusting side of his dad. After brooding on what to do for months and becoming quite depressed about it all (he never even noticed that the other youths had nicknamed him Little Bull- after his dad), David ran away from home and travelled to NYC to confront his dad.
Bull had established a club called
Supers in
About a month after his own release Dr. Malus broke Infectia (and everyone else) out of the 'hospital' she was in. He had a plan of revenge and her powers were exactly what he wanted. Infectia threatened to do all sorts of things to Malus if his plan went wrong but agreed anyway.
In July 1999 the ex-UCWF champion
Antonio Rodiguez- The Armadillo became a regular at
Supers. David loved to hear tales of the wrestling federation and the two became
acquaintances. During the last week of the month Armadillo went on a rampage
across NYC when he found out his wife was seeing another man (again). Just as
Captain
When David was due back east for Winter vacation he offered Armadillo a holiday, expenses paid. The Furry Community loved Armadillo and for the first time Antonio felt at home; in the Furry Community he'd found a place where he didn't stick out as a freak. He'd also met Rokikat, a rather voluptuous feline and hit it off extremely well. He rather surprised the Community then by standing up at the NewYear's celebration and announcing that he was working for Dr. Malus and was here to kidnap Derkson, David and Bull.
The community reacted in shock, but Armadillo surprised them again by denouncing Malus and destroying the summoning device he had been carrying. Led by Rokikat the Community rallied around Armadillo and forgave him. Dr. Malus however had been monitoring the situation and choose this moment to attack, sending in Infectia's Anti-bodies, Titania, the Absorbing Man, and the whole Wreakin' Crew. The fight was bloody and short. Dr. Malus got his prey, and departed, leaving the treasonous Armadillo behind.
Dr. Malus was especially cruel to Bull, who had escaped him. Malus tortured and played with Bull, introducing drugs into his system to mutate him further and using various implements to see what the limits of his plasticity were. However, Dr. Malus reserved his big plan for David and Derkson. Under the working name of Project 327a Malus was to use Infectia's and Derkson's 'monster creation' powers to metamorphose David into the ultimate monster (under his control of course). David, Derkson and Infectia were inserted into various pods and machines, and while the supervillains guarded the labs Malus pulled the switch.
About three-quarters of the way through the experiment Tigra turned up. With friends.
Armadillo, USTeam, and several pissed
off Furs attacked the lab. They quickly overran the supervillians and captured
Malus. However the violent battle destroyed various control mechanisms and the
experiment ran out of control, quickly building to a critical mass. Despite
heroic efforts by Captain
Dr. Malus was extensively questioned, but he could not think of a way anyone could survive the inferno. As he pointed and gesticulated the ruins exploded outwards and a gigantic 25' tall steel Minotaur emerged from the ruins. The monster carried a critically injured Derkson and unconscious Infectia. The assembled Heroes took up battle positions as the huge beast came forward, only to collapse to its knees and then shrink down into a flesh covered form who, though still a bull-man was clearly David. He had somehow mutated taken on the properties of steel and protected the other two from the inferno.
Dr Malus, and the various villains were taken to jail. Infectia died of multiple injuries on the way to hospital. Derkson and David were also taken to hospital, both would recover, but they were both irrevocably changed. Derkson had lost his mental inability to create lizard or avian Furs, and over the next month he physically changed into a centaur form. As for David Dr. Malus experiment had partly worked he had indeed physically warped David into a monster form, and had given him some of the powers his dad had gained.
It took David a long time to adjust to his new size and power; he experimented with his own basic Minotaur form, adjusting his horns, or hair, until finding two or three 'looks' he was happy with. He quickly found a limitation on his powers- he could not change himself into anything other than Humanoid forms. So as part of his practices to master his powers he developed several other bodies he could quickly shape change into. One was an avian form based on the old Gargoyles program, another a scary 20' monster form he called 'dragontank', a form to scare people silly with. David also developed various lizard forms for underwater or swampy work, but found he did not like swimming as much as flying.
Only one incident scarred David's
recovery. A long time friend of his, a wolfman called Lupus surprised
It was theorised that the interruption to the experiment had given David a measure of Derkson's and Infectia powers Through careful experimentation it emerged that David could transform people either fully or in parts thereof, into humanoid forms. Unlike Infectia's power however David's did not kill.
Troubled by this development David returned to NYC. His confidence in his powers had been damaged by Lupus' accident, and though the wolf man forgave him- he actually liked his over muscled form, David felt he'd done a terrible wrong. NYC was base for the Monster Club, and it was their combined help and advice that helped him get over his fear of being an uncontrolled freak. With the Thing, Beast, Armadillo, Bull, Sandman, Smash, Dragon and the monstrous Shifter giving him help David slowly adjusted to his abilities and appearance.
David eventually returned to
David was very happy in NYC, he enjoyed his studies and liked the buzz of the city and the fact he could walk around in a smaller version of his true form without getting jumped on by every autograph hunter or psycho. As time passed David found he grew to like Heroics in a way that his father never had. Taking the name Little Bull he briefly joined the New Warriors, but quit after (literally) butting heads with Nova one to many times. Sandman introduced him to Sliver Sable, who employed David once he graduated. Sliver Sable Inc had provided David with much training and support and Sliver Sables unfortunate demise therefore came as a hard blow to David. As the Agency fell apart David signed on with Ralph Rosenberg who's Agency seemed closest to Sliver Sables ideas. Though not a direct participant David did discover a strong dislike for Xavier's students during the Wolverine hunt; he considers them under trained and arrogant, too wrapped up in angst and superiority issues.
David visits home as often as possible;
he still has many friends in the Furry Community and is Godfather to Armadillo
and Rokikat's twins. Tigra and Bull got back together and had two more kids,
Kelvin, and Anne, both mutants, who are growing up happy in the Furry Community.
Bull has given up porn and founded a SFX studio in
Last year the studio signed a major deal with the Marvel Entertainment Corp for the SFX on all their movies. Damage Control IV- Galactus Returns is the studios current project. David appears briefly alongside the Hero Lupus, as 'screaming mutant no4'.

Your hero has the ability to consciously alter the physiology of a target, much like the Transmutation power. Moreover, the hero may physically alter the target in such a way that he or she receives the benefits of certain powers, such as horns, claws, or even possibly wings. These alterations are generally permanent, as determined by the Narrator. The hero may also use this power to disrupt the smooth functioning of the body, causing damage up to the power’s intensity.
Underwater Combat: Fighting underwater. Your hero may use Agility instead of Strength to attack while underwater. The hero can use Agility instead of Intellect for declaration order during underwater combat. In addition, when trying to dodge attacks, under water, your hero may reduce the difficulty rating by one.
