Gary Cobalt, also known by his superhero codename Cobalt Gold and nickname Golden Gary, is the son of the renowned superhero Cobalt.
History[]
Early History[]
After Doctor Christine Cobalt developed superpowers upon being gassed by an unknown Venusian lifeform, the U.S. government began a program to create a new generation of these superhumans. Cobalt donated some of her eggs for artificial insemination by select male donors, seven of which were successfully brought to term through surrogacy. The second-born of these children was a boy named Gary, and as he began growing up, the government gave him the codename Cobalt Gold.

Powers[]
- Enhanced Physiology: Having been conceived after his mother received her powers, Gary was born a hybrid of human and "superhuman", which allowed him to develop similar powers to Cobalt, albeit at only half the strength.
- Superhuman Strength: Though only half as strong as his mother, Gary possesses strength far beyond that of a normal human, which enables him to perform extraordinary feats such as punch through solid concrete
- Enhanced Durability: Thanks to his enhanced physiology, Gary is far more durable than a typical human, being near invulnerable, though to a lesser degree than Cobalt or the Fury. He can withstand a variety of impacts that would stun, injure or even kill the average person, such as a car crash. Gary has also mentioned that bullets cannot harm him, as they merely bounce off his skin. There are few forces that can do him harm, such as a blows from the twice-as-strong Fury of Russia.
- Flight: Gary has the ability to fly under his own power, being able to propel himself through the air with no outside help. Along with his enhanced speed, this allows him to travel great distances within a short time, presumably being able to fly several miles within moments.
- Superspeed: Gary has exceedingly fast reflexes, being able to quickly react to danger. His speed is inferior to that of the Fury, but mostly on par with his siblings and the Fury brood. When used in conjunction with his ability to fly, Gary can travel great distances within a short time.
- Enhanced Senses: As a child of Cobalt, Gary presumably has senses greater than those of ordinary people, being able to see, hear and smell at superhuman levels.
Skills[]
- Master Combatant: Gary has spent years training in several forms of martial arts, including kickboxing and ju-jitsu, and has been able to refine his techniques to the point that he was determined to be the best fighter among the Cobalt siblings.
