He prefers when things are in a state of anarchy and chaos allowing him to do whatever he wants with no sorts of rules, and limitations.

Theme Song: N/A

Skills: He's been trained in Street Fighting, and is a capable Football player, and has practiced Wrestling, so he has some combat skills.

Powers:
Rock-like Skin: Mikey possesses a smooth, rock-like hide.. The mutagenic process causes his musculature, bone structure, internal organ composition, soft tissue structure, and skin to greatly increase in toughness and density.

-Superhuman Strength: Mikey's primary superhuman power is his great physical strength. Initially, he was only strong enough to lift about 5 tons. Over the years, through rigorous training, his strength dramatically increased to the point where he can lift roughly 50 tons. It is believed his strength has increased further, sufficient to lift at least 90 tons, and may continue to rise

-Superhuman Stamina: Mikey's advanced musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a normal human. At his peak, he can exert himself for about 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to affect him. Incidentally, Mikey's lungs are of greater volume and efficiency than a normal man's, enabling him to hold his breath underwater for up to 9 minutes, despite the fact that he used to smoke.

-Superhuman Durability: The rock-like composition of Mikey's body renders him highly resistant to physical injury. The Thing's body can resist extremely powerful impact forces, such as the force of the Hulk's punches (the Hulk can lift/press 100 tons making his punches particularly strong). He can also withstand exposure to high levels of explosives, such as being struck full with bazooka shells, without sustaining injury. His body can also withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -75 degrees to 800 degrees Fahrenheit for up to one hour before exposure or heat prostration occurs. However he couldn't withstand being slashed by Ledge's adamantium claws, and sustained some injury, making adamantium one of the few things that can pierce tMikey's impenetrable body.

-Superhuman Sensory Adaptation: Though his senses aren't superhumanly acute, his five senses can withstand greater amounts of sensory stimuli than he could when he was a normal human being, with no reduced sensitivity.

-Rock Manipulation: He can also detach parts of his body, flinging them as heavy rock projectiles. He has no control over these body parts until he reattaches them manually. Though now no longer capable of that he can only fully explode. He can, however, regenerate from wounds by using surrounding rock as replacement.


History
Mikey was abused by his parents since he was 3 years old. They were gunned down by an unknown being when he was 5 and he was taken in care, deeply scarred. When he was told his mother had died in hospitial, his only reply was 'Good'. Over-time he grew evil due to the abuse that happanned to him as a kid. He later met Milo and his older sister Leah and was pissed off at them since they had a mother despite their father being abusive and the fact Milo was happy.

He was angered by Milo's happy go lucky spirit and he began to bully him and he fought a lot becoming popular among the gang-bangers at the school and feared by others except Milo. Leah would often help Milo but after she left high-school the bullying's got worse until one day Milo snapped back at Mikey beating him and embarassing him. He was rescued by police and taken to the police station. He went to his foster-care pissed off and suddenly transformed getting rock-hard skin pissed he tore up his foster-care and left wanting to go kill Milo.

He was so pissed off but fainted and was unable to access his powers. He decided to torment Milo and when his rival became rich this pissed him off more so he broke into Milo's new mansion to kill him but Angel had already dreamed the situation and Mikey was arrested and served the rest of his senior year in Prison along with his college years. He once agian summoned his power and escaped to the mountains to train deciding he would exact revenge on Milo. He was later brought to the Secerete Wars and Travler had told him Milo was Fusion and he planned his revenge.

He was taken to the Secerete Wars were he avoided team work merely planning on survival while he searched for the SXM. He met up with Zulan and Jason. The trio gathered the remaining fighters and attacked the SXM. He battled Milo and lost. He was thought to be killed when Travler's planet was destroyed. He had survived along with many others and resumed crime. He searched for Sage a man with one of the most dangerous abilities and Sage refused to train an evil student. He joined Pro Registration during the Civil War to fake being a good guy, but Sage knew his intentions. He was unable to battle Milo, but decided to go kill German to help mutants rule the world.

He went to kill German only to find him trying to escape from Milo and he came to kill him along with Lucy. The duo overpowered him and Milo killed him in his suicidal explosion. Hitler revived Zulan and Mikey's soul grabbed on to Zulan's. He was returned to the earth and went into hiding planning to locate Benjamin. He met up with Shawkun and Joe after they escaped an attack from Legacy. They got to a library and hacked into Legacy to gain info. The trio went to DC with Joe's gravitational portals and took DC hostage. Shaun Obama got an anti mugen gun shooting Joe causing him to suck himself and the others in a portal.

They got lost in the desert and Mikey was upset wanting Shawkun try and find a teleporter. Thanks to Rachel's visions members of the SXM found them and saved them. He came up with a plan to learn about Hitler's plans and stopped them. He teamed up with Dave and Rachel to get to the SXM base. Angel injured him with a glass cup and had Dimitri use technopathy to design a negative zone projector. The two used the device to send him tot he negative zone were he was attacked by several prisoners.

He was freed and placed in MHF. He remained there until the Phoenix Alliance showed up and he joined forces with Metallic,Manda,Nina, Jin, and Jim to distract Sandra. Later after escaping death, the group sought out jobs in NYC, and he lived a normal life. Later the Espada kidnapped Jim, and he helped the SXM along with the rest of the group to save his friend. The only reason he did not betray the SXM and strike Milo was due to his close relationship to Jim. After aiding in rescuing him, he returned to his job, his temperature causing him to get in fights, and constantly loose his job, at times the SXM intervened when his arguments with Justin aka Metallic got destructive. He eventually went to Genosha with the others with the impending threat the Hunters posed, he aided in the battle against the Hunters, and after that joined the SXM joining Justin's squad his hatred for Milo slowly lingering.

He continued to aid the team, and more so as Jorgan became President, and the Government's persecution in the form of HAMMER continued. He grew to hate them in general because of there rebellious nature, and because there oppressiveness targeted him. He aided in various battles against HAMMER, and refused to join the Dark Avengers, and was captured, and brought into Carmen's dimension, tormented in Baron's prison. He was freed the prison to aid against Galactus's cosmic invasion, and moved to Yamairo's warehouse. He aided the team in liberating Genosha from HAMMER's control, and later went up against Alice's group when they invaded the island, and grew to hate Mass Manipulators. Later he aided in the battle against HAMMER in DC, and has been growing more addicted to fighting.
