 The possibilities that once seemed endless become more finite with every moment that passes, Kayo. The realignment that we long feared is beginning to take shape. The existence that they accept as reality is unraveling. When Lord Chapel conquered the world it aggravated the rift and set us on our current course. My brother, Cabbot, senses that this reality has been compromised, but he's not certain of the source. 

—Battlestone

History

Origin

In 1984, John was one of the earliest recruits to a government task force named Project Young, alongside Marcus Langston. John supervised the recruitment of Chapel, who initially appeared to be too violent for the project.

Having faith in Chapel, John disguised himself as a fake supervillain named Fist of the Bizarre to test him. Chapel beat John to a pulp, but despite John's endless taunts, Chapel never crossed the line, so John considered Chapel had passed his test.

Attributes

Powers

• Superhuman Strength: John possesses great physical strength, his punches can throw an opponent a dozen of meters in the air and during one of his first missions with Brigade he was seen lifting 500 kg of marble with one hand and using it as a weapon in close combat. He was able to keep up in a battle against Roman.
• Superhuman Stamina: Thanks to Project: Born Again Battlestone can keep fighting even after sustaining incredible damage, like being repeatedly shot, stabbed or even having a limb ripped off.
• Superhuman Durability: In addition to being resistant to damage Battlestone also possesses an incredibly high pain threshold given to him by Project: Born Again. Some of his greatest displays of durability have been surviving close range explosions and building collapsing on him, although he was gravely injured both times.
• Decelerated Aging
• Amphibious: Battlestone displayed the ability to survive and talk underwater for long periods of time without ill effects.
