Respect Darkhawk (Marvel 616)

Respect Darkhawk!

Bio: When teenager Chris Powell and his little brothers got into a confrontation with a group of gangsters at an abandoned amusement park, he accidentally touched an alien crystal called a raptor amulet (what a sentence!) This amulet instantly bonded with him, allowing him to swap his human body with a super-powerful robot body that he named Darkhawk. He used this power to protect his brothers, and eventually became a fully-fledged superhero, occasionally teaming up with the likes of Spider-Man and the Secret Defenders. Chris had always suffered from anger issues, and his mental bond with an alien technology never meant for humans made them even worse, eventually leading him to give up his powers and join a support group for ex-teenage superheroes. His life was turned upside down when it was revealed that the amulet he possesses is just one of many, used by a group of malevolent cosmic warriors called raptors to bring "order" to the galaxy. Chris was forced to once again assume the mantle of Darkhawk in order to stop the raptors from returning.

Powers: While in Darkhawk form, Chris gets highly enhanced reaction speed, strength, endurance, and durability. Darkhawk can project a beam of darkforce from his chest in a cone that can either act as a powerful energy blast or an extremely durable shield. He has a projectile claw on his right hand that can be fired as a grappling hook or shaped into a kind of drone that can scout areas for him. Chris can transform into a variety of Darkhawk "configurations," alternate versions of the armor that are specialized for specific types of combat. Each time Chris transforms into Darkhawk his body is replaced with a new robot, meaning that if Darkhawk is injured he can transform back into Chris and will be intact next time he transforms into Darkhawk.
