=Relic= Age: 48 Gender: Male

Origin
Mark Baxter was owned a small antique store in San Diego called 'Unwound Time Antiques' when he discovered that several of the items in his shop were imbued with unusual powers, and had said abilities transferred to him. Turning to the help of a technology expert at the local college, Chad Cooke, they developed the Artifact Ability Amplifier (Triple A) that tapped into the powers of the artifacts and allowed Mark to fully control them to help him tackle the issues of the city ranging from drug lords to various super villains. With Chad in charge of the suit's technical specs and Mark in charge of collecting new artifacts to harness, they have made an impeccable team

Powers
Baxter can only tap into one artifact at a time, but each of the artifacts each have a unique ability to them.

John Henry's Hammer
When tapping into the Hammer, his strength increases to being able to lift 2 tons and has increased durability, able to withstand the same amount of strength he can dish out. In this form, he is able to summon a red spectral sledgehammer.

Ta Mo's Chainwhip
When tapping into the Chainwhip, Relic receives enhancements to his agility, reflexes, and hand-to-hand combat, primarily that of the Xing Yi Quan in the Tiger & Swallow style. In this form, he can summon an orange chainwhip in this form.

William Tell's Crossbow
When tapping into the Crossbow, Relic's aim and percision is highly enhanced and is able to enhance his hearing and sight greatly. In this form, he can summon a green composite crossbow.

Lucrezia Borgia's Dagger
When tapping into the Dagger, Relic becomes immune poisons and is able to secret various poisons as well. In this form, he can summon a violet dagger.

Shield from the Battle of Thermopylae
When tapping into the shield, Relic becomes highly durable, able to resist punches from Black Adder. In this form, he can summon a yellow shield.

Weaknesses
Relic's real power comes from the series of artifacts that he has stored away in an hidden alcove in his antique store. Should they be disrupted while Relic is using them, it can cause the suit and powers to go haywire. Coupled with the fact that he can only use one power at a time makes it difficult for him to overcome foes that constantly change their attack patterns.
