Sgt. Rock


Origin - Sgt. Franklin Rock is a non-commissioned officer in charge of his unit, Easy Company, during World War II. There are conflicting stories as to what exactly happened to the hardened military leader. One telling (and the one I subscribe to) says he was killed in the last moments of the war by the very last bullet fired while trying to save a little girl from crossfire.

Powers and Abilities - Rock is a highly trained hand to hand combatant usually mixing street fighting with boxing. He seems to have close to superhuman strength and endurance, surviving several gunshot wounds, grenade shrapnel, exposure to freezing water, and other hazards. He is also a marksman with many different types of weapons. He shot down several German fighter planes with a sub-machine gun. He also is able to throw hand grenades with surprising accuracy. Rocks has a M-1 Garand cartridge belt, 30 caliber ammunition belts slung over shoulder. He claims to wear these for good luck when asked why he carries ammunition for weapons he does not carry. The weapons he does carry are a .45 caliber Thompson sub-machine gun, .45 caliber Colt M1911A1 automatic pistol.

Weaknesses and Limitations - Rock has the same weaknesses and limitations as any normal adult male in excellent physical condition.
