Superhero Gigara

Gigara was a member of the Titan Triad, a superhero team that specialized in the control, containment and/or extermination of Great Beasts, though they also had experience with crime syndicates and supervillains.

Much of Gigara's history including race are classified by order of the Earth Nations Union. What is known is that Gigara is actually two entities, the superhero and a Great Beast (the one who is actually named Gigara) sharing one body at a time. They are the only superhero that has been able to achieve this without dying or massive detrimental effects.

Gigara's Astral Drift is "Dauntless Cell", a specialized ability that grants them near immortality, as their body is able to withstand extreme temperatures and trauma that would kill other superheroes, or rip their bodies apart. It is solely because of this ability that Gigara's host is able to contain the essence of the Great Beast. Greater than that, the union allows the host to tap into Gigara's power in small doses, granting giant's strength and durability, allowing for super-leaps and putting the superhero on the upper echelons of super-strength-based warriors on Earth. If the superhero takes enough damage or absorbs enough heat, the Great Beast within takes over, scaled flesh flash-growing and enveloping the host to Gigara's original giant form to continue (read: finish) the fight. 

On a good day, Gigara is not exerting much effort, handling most threats with ease thanks to the Great Beast's power and able to roll with many a punch executing Mindslayer's plans and assisting Sandstorm. But there are times when Mindslayer's  plan is not enough, or when there is no option left but the nuclear one. In such a case, Gigara is handed a bomb, scales its output, and lets loose a blast with enough heat to trigger transformation into the Great Beast form. With this much destructive power now unleashed, most other Great Beasts are made short work of, but the potential collateral damage that would come with it makes this either a last resort option or only viable in the wilds, away from civilizations and innocent lives. It is because of this danger that some cities do not allow Gigara's host entry, just in case.

Last year @petarvee and I created this rad little young man who could turn into a kaiju to fight for love and justice. He sadly died in the OCT he participated in but his memory continues
