- This article is about the original incarnation of Graviton from Marvel Universe. For the second incarnation from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., see Graviton (Glenn Talbot).
Graviton is a minor antagonist in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Graviton was created by Jim Shooter and Sal Buscema.
Background
Powers and Abilities
- Gravitokinesis: Graviton possesses the ability to mentally manipulate gravitons (that carry the attractive, gravitational force between atomic nuclei), enabling him to control gravity. He can surround any object or person including himself with gravitons and anti-gravitons (particles similar to gravitons but with opposite charge and spin), thus increasing or decreasing the Earth's pull of gravity upon it.
- Flight: By decreasing the pull of gravity beneath him, he can fly at any speed or height at which he can still breathe. However by using his force field generation he can also breathe in space.
- Movement Impairment & Graviton Attraction: By increasing the pull of gravity beneath his opponents, he can pin them to the ground, having made them too heavy to move, or cause sufficient gravitational stress to impair the normal functioning of the human cardiovascular system. He can also cause an inanimate object (such as a 1-foot diameter rock) to radiate enough gravitons to give it its own gravitational field, able to attract nearby matter and energy.
- Graviton Blast & Force Field Generation: By rapidly projecting gravitons in a cohesive beam, he can generate a force blast with a maximum concussive force equivalent to the primary shock wave of an explosion of 20,000 pounds of TNT. If concentrated enough Graviton can exert is power to level a whole city. He can also create a gravitational force field around him capable of protecting him from any concussive force up to and including a small nuclear weapon.
History
Years ago, Dr. Franklin Hall was tasked by Nick Fury to re-create the Super Soldier serum. Something went wrong with the experiments and caused an accident that gave Hall power over gravity, and Fury had him jailed in The Raft. During a massive breakout Hall, now rechristened Graviton, got free and went after Fury, but was stopped by then independent heroes Thor Odinson, Ant-Man, Wasp, Iron Man, and Hulk who, after defeating him, decided they worked well as a team and founded The Avengers.
