Samson 001 CLR SML

Samson (Samal rishon Moshe Davidi, IDF - Ret. aka "Samson 'Sam' David"), Costumed Israeli Meta-Human Powerhouse (PL10/160pp.): Like all Israelis, the man known as Samson had served in the IDF where he learned Krav Maga. And while he was a lot stronger and tougher than his contemporaries… he showed very little desire for the use of firearms, and specializing in unarmed combat. When not working as a construction worker, he took part in ultimate fighting championships where his natural strength and fighting talents were honed so well that he was a reserve IDF hand-to-hand combat instructor. It was during a Palestinian terror attack upon a local school that his meta-human powers became evident when he rushed into the severely damaged building… bracing himself under a broken support beam, he was able to bear the entire weight of the building upon his shoulders and keep the building from collapsing until it was safely evacuated. And once he had let the building collapse many where stunned when he dug himself out of the ruins, none more so than himself… that night his mother told him that he was descended from the biblical hero Samson, ironically the local news agencies had used that same name to describe him in all their reports about the incident. Samson has refused to cut his hair ever since learning this, feeling that he shared the same weakness as his ancestor. Samson chose to protect his family and loved ones, and left Israel for the United States of America. His earliest costume consisted of the outfit he had worn as an Ultimate Fighter: a white tee-shirt with a blue Star of David in the center of his chest, a pair of dark blue-gray IDF combat pants & a pair of black IDF combat boots.
