Story
Born and raised in the heartland of America, Calvin Simmons finds himself in Paragon City in search of a place to belong and aspirations of putting his recently manifested abilities to use-- not unlike the big city heroes he'd come to read about in the papers.

Information

• Cell Elasticity: All of Rubbound's body cells (including his skin, muscles, bones and organs) changed with his mutation. Despite his apparent bulk for his size, he is light-weight and inhumanly flexible, able to bend his body in unconventional ways. That said, Rubbound is still rigid enough to withstand a variety of physical impacts. With enough pulling force, his body can be stretched akin to a rubber-band, though he will snap back to his original shape if let go. Floats on water!
• Kinetic Absorption and Redirection: Rubbound is able to absorb or re-direct the energy created from physical impacts-- using it to enhance his resilience, strike back with some extra force (to make up for his lack of actual fighting experience), or purposefully get knocked away in order to rebound off a wall or object.
• Bouncing Leap: Rubbound is able to bound the distance of several city blocks in a single leap. His ability to absorb the impact of each landing increases his momentum with each bounce, and he can continue indefinitely until impeded by obstacles.

Associations

• The Ideals: The second incarnation to bear the name of the group after an unknowable tragedy befell the original roster. Calvin initially encountered some of the team-- newly-reformed by the Silver Shield-- in his early days of acclimating to Paragon City. (Formally invited, details pending.)
• The Justice Squadron: As Rubbound, Calvin found himself swept up in one of the Justice Squadron's successful efforts to capture the duplicating villain "Numerous".

Locations

• Polaris Apartments: Current residence, located in Skyway City.
• The McCall Challenge Center: A community recreation facility in Skyway City, named after its founder Richard McCall (formerly the Winged Man). Calvin likes to pass the time here in his free moments.

Miscellaneous

• Is particular about wearing his "lucky" socks and sneakers, even when in costume.
• Is wary when it comes to the mention of magic, but is willing to be open minded about the subject.
