Gilgamesh claims to be the famed hero from the Epic Poem, but that would be impossible as that would make him over 4,000 years old. His last known memory after waking up from his self imposed dormancy was attacking Constantinople as a Jannisary under the Turkish Sultan Mehmed II. While it was reported in history the Sultans cannon knocked holes in the walls of the city, in actuality it was Gilgamesh who toppled sections of the walls with his fists. During the sacking of the city Gilgamesh left disgusted and sealed himself up in a cave in the mountains of Anatolia until Archaeologists uncovered his resting place. In any case Gilgamesh is a powerful biokinetic. He has enhanced strength, durability, reflexes, speed and healing. He is the strongest person on the Earth and can lift 50 tons. He is a powerful Ergokinetic and can also project force beams from his hands and energy beams from his eyes. His Ergokinesis allows him flight up to 300 mph. His skin is durable and can withstand most physical attacks although he is susceptible to magic and mental attacks. He looks down upon ordinary humans and considers himself their champion mostly because they are too weak to defend themselves. He takes a personal interest in any metahuman who claims to be tougher or stronger than him.
