A major gamer, Brian likes to use terms and slang often associate with gaming. And even trash talks the enemy.

But at his core, he is a hero, and will give his all to keep his city safe.



Brian was born in Queens, his father an Engineer for Athem Enterprises, and his mother a 3rd grade teacher. Growing up, Brian was an avid gamer, and would spend days and nights with his friend, Mason, gaming away. While he did decent in school, Brian excelled at video games, and was even thinking of going pro.
His life would take a drastic turn, however, as one day, Brians father would die in the fall of New York. In his despair, Brian lost himself in his video games, not wanting to acknowledge his father was gone. He started failing in school, and even stopped going all together, just spending his days on video games.
One day, after being forced by his mother to find a job, he would reunite with Mason, who he hadn’t spoken to since dropping out of school. Mason offered him a job as a janitor at Olympus Labs, introducing him to Lucas Wheeler, Masons new friend. Learning the Lab was where his father worked, Brian accepted, wanting to see what his father did.
A few weeks into the job, Brian would be at lunch with Lucas and Mason, when an alarm would go off, alerting them that a Kaiju was attacking the city. Lucas and Mason ran off, telling Brian they were heading to a shelter. With the lab cleared, Brian would sneak into his fathers former lab, finding notes and journals of his.
As he was exploring the lab, Brian would find himself trapped in an unknown machine, which turned on. Blacking out, Brian would wake to the sound of the door being opened, Lucas and Mason standing there. At first, nothing seemed to change for Brian, and he was even able to go back to work.
Another week later, Brian would be walking down at the pier when another Kaiju would attack, as a massive tentacle shot out of the water, crashing down onto Brian. In fear, Brian closed his eyes and held his arms up over his head, as if he could block the tentacle. When he realized he wasn’t crushed, he opened his eyes, quickly realizing he had grown over a hundred feet tall, and the giant tentacle was now no bigger than him.
With the help of Frontline, Brian would drive the Kaiju back into the water, being careful not to crush anybody under him. It took him a day to figure out how to shrink back down to his normal size.
Frontline, revealing himself to be Lucas, offered to help train Brian in how to use his powers. Brian would return to the lab, but not to work. Given a special suit, and training, Brian would go from a gamer, to the superhero, Skyscraper.


Growth: Due to his molecules becoming unstable, Brian is able to grow to 135feet tall. His strength remains proportionate to his size, he is able to lift up to 200,000tons and run 280mph. His skin becomes dense enough to endure most conventional weapons, bullets bounce right off of him, and grenades only irritate him.



Heavy damage: While bullets and smaller explosions have no significant effect on him, Brian is not entirely indestructible. Weapons designed to damage larger targets, such as heavy missiles and such, can still deal serious damage. Creatures his size can also hurt him, even though Brian is trained in how to fight them.



Skyscraper Suit: Made using his genetic make-up, the hero suit he wears grows and shrinks with him, making sure he is always covered when he is out being a hero.
It offers no extra defense.





Hand-to-hand fighter: Brian is trained how to fight in hand-to-hand combat, and uses these skills to handle any enemy that crosses his paths.
