Giraniti Abidemi grew up in a peaceful village in Ethiopia, surrounded by his tight-knit community and family. His quiet demeanor and humble beginnings hid the latent power within him—a heritage that combined extraordinary strength with explosive energy generation. He lived as a protector for his village, but his life took a drastic turn when outside forces began to attack his home, threatening the harmony he cherished.
Giraniti Abidemi is deeply introspective and empathetic, shaped by the teachings of his community and his connection to nature. He values peace above all else but feels a tremendous burden as the protector of his people. The destruction of his village pushes him into a moral conflict—his rage fuels his power but also risks turning him into what he despises.

Aṯtar is a living biochemical fusion reactor, that constantly absorbs, builds up and produces energy he can manipulate and use in numerous ways. This energy can enhance his physiology. This energy seems linked to his hormones as it seems that the more Giraniti is in physical or emotional activity, or the more physical damage he receives, the more powerful he will become. This ability allows him the following:
Energy Projection: Aṯtar can focus his stored energy outward to produce energy blasts, which at his highest output levels can be focused into 100-ton maximum strength energy blasts of concussive force.
Fusion Discharge: Aṯtar can take the energy that he generates and detonate himself like a bomb. This power is the most dangerous of the abilities he possesses and the most tied to his emotional state and the most likely to lose control.
_____Super-Leaping: Aṯtar can use his discharges to propel himself into the air.
Energy Projection: Superior: Aṯtar can project massive amounts of different types of energies. Naturally occurring energy projected by Aṯtar are "Fusion Blasts" however Aṯtar can project a number of different energies at will.
Aṯtar can use the internal energy build-up to increase the muscle-mass of his body, allowing him to drastically increase in size and strength almost instantly. This allows the following:
Durability: Demi-Godlike: Channeled energy toughens his skin, making him highly resistant to injury. At the low end of the spectrum, Aṯtar has enough resistance to stop twenty tons of force without being hurt. Bullets will not harm him, nor will temperature extremes from -100 degrees Celsius to about 2,000 degrees Celsius bother him much. He's immersed himself in volcanic lava before and suffered no ill effects except for the lack of air. Aṯtar's body is very tough; he can withstand high atmospheric pressure, point-blank shot, Superion's heat vision, and a Hunter laser blast. It was stated that at his peak, he could go toe-to-toe with REDACTED.
Reflexes: Superhuman: At his lowest levels, Aṯtar has agility and reflexes far above that of an Olympic athlete. At these levels, Aṯtar would be able to catch a normal arrow fired from Quartermaster at mid-range, and dodge single blasts and bullets. At his higher levels, he will be able to dodge fine-point lasers at close range and could deflect a stream of bullets from an Uzi fired from ten feet away.
Strength: Level-100: Internal energies give him enhanced strength, regardless of the amount of energy he is channeling into his body. At his lowest levels, he is still capable of lifting around ten tons casually, and with enough finesse that he does not crush anything he touches. The upper limit of Aṯtar's strength has not been categorized, and he has shown himself strong enough to hold his own in battle against a Hunter, as well as Raptor. Cosmic Storm stated that Aṯtar's physical strength rivals that of Ironclad, placing him at least 100-ton strength. When Aṯtar's uses his powers to the point of exhaustion, his resting strength increases slightly, thereby making his overall strength increase every time he uses his powers to their limits.

Psychological Scars: As a result of the emotional scars Giraniti Abidemi developed from the verbal and physical abuse he endured from his mother, he subconsciously created a mechanism for self-restraint. Using his powers put massive strain on Giraniti Abidemi's body, causing pain relative to the degree of his superhuman strength use, and most instances of using his powers result in Giraniti Abidemi passing out. Furthermore, Giraniti Abidemi states that the use of his powers could and would ultimately kill him. Or so he believed. He additionally lacked any sense of touch at first. He is currently getting psychological help from Doctor Day who determined the psychological roots of these restrictions and mental/emotional scars.
8thbranium Tattoos: Aṯtar has tattoos all over his body, which were adapted from molten raw 8thbranium, using an ancient Kushite technique developed to alleviate seizures and tremors. Usually tattoos were temporary, however, Aṯtar's meta-mutation caused the 8thbranium to bond with his flesh down into the muscle. According to Aṯtar these tattoos keep his powers in check and is the only thing that keeps him alive, as they absorb the kinetic energy he produces or is directed at him. When he uses his powers, the tattoos glow with blue fire.
Main Outfit: A sleeveless, form-fitting tunic made of a durable, natural fabric reinforced with 8thbranium-like fibers. The tunic is deep green with gold accents, symbolizing the lush landscapes and rich history of an-Nūba. It is adorned with subtle traditional Nubian patterns embroidered along the edges, showcasing his pride in his heritage without being overly elaborate.
Tattoos on Display: The sleeveless design allows his glowing Vibranium-like tattoos to be visible, running all over his body and head. When not activated, the tattoos appear as faint silver-gray markings, blending seamlessly with his skin. When in use, they emit a cold, blue-silver glow, pulsating with his heartbeat.
Pants and Footwear: His kilt/skirt is knee-length and made of the same reinforced fabric as his tunic, allowing for ease of movement during combat. The dark green sturdy, ankle-high boots made of a leather-like material, are durable enough for rough terrain. The boots are laced with silver thread and feature simple yet elegant stitching patterns.
Belt and Accessories: He wears a simple sash-like belt made of woven fabric in the colors of the Nubian flag (green, yellow, and red). It is tied asymmetrically at his waist, serving as both a functional piece and a nod to his homeland. He also carries a small leather pouch on his belt at his back, holding keepsakes from his village—perhaps a carved wooden charm or a small piece of folded fabric from his family.
Cape/Shawl: (Not Pictured) Draped over one shoulder is a lightweight, short shawl made of soft, handwoven Nubian cotton (called "gabi"). It’s primarily white with subtle green and gold stripes near the edges. This piece serves as a reminder of his peaceful upbringing and can be easily removed in battle.
Overall Look: The costume is unpretentious yet dignified, emphasizing his humble roots while allowing him to move freely in combat. The glowing tattoos and cultural patterns stand out as the most striking elements, making him visually distinctive without feeling flashy
Name: In honor of his Kushite upbringing and family, he uses Aṯtar which is the name of the ancient Kushite god of war. His name was given to him by the first villager who saw him in his new form.
Voice: If the Amalgam Universe 2.0 were to become a cartoon, the voice of Aṯtar should be Rasselas Lakew.
