History: | Adrian Corbo and his half-brother, Jared, are recruits for the newest incarnation of Alpha Flight. Adrian was raised in Hull House, an orphanage in Orloo, Ontario where Eugene Judd (aka Puck) worked for a time. Perhaps because Hull House was located (fortuitously or deliberately?) near Department H's secret Cosmic Collector site, the orphans there grew up developing weird and frightening powers. These children were 'harvested' by the Department when they reached a certain age. Adrian and Jared were such children. Trained under the auspices of the new Department H, they were later recruited into the new incarnation of Alpha Flight. |
Psych. Profile: | Adrian is quiet and shy, with intense feelings of his own inadequacies. Ironically, it is his own lack of self-confidence which makes him the voice of reason in the face of loose-cannons such as his elder half-brother Jared, and the seductive sensate, Murmur. He is uncomfortable in combat and has been especially distressed when he has had to harm someone (as he did the Taurus in Alpha Flight #1 Vol. 2). Adrian struggles with his own feelings of inadequacy every day -- he blames himself for the loss of transmutater Madison Jeffries in the new Alpha Flight's battle with the terrorist organisation, Zodiac. He is a young man prone to guilt-trips and self-recriminations: aspects that are easily exploited by the Department. Currently, Adrian is being trained by the veteran Alphan Puck (Eugene Judd) who, though he does not remember, met Adrian and his brother Jared when he was working at Hull House. |
Astrology: | "Adrian Corbo, you are a Pisces. You are intuitive and harbour great compassion, but are plagues by equally great feelings of inadequacy." |
Super-Human Powers: | Adrian is able to transform parts of his body into organic metal which he can shape into various razor-sharp forms. |
