This Soviet scientist was mortally wounded, and his fellow researchers attempted to cryogenically preserve his genius. The process failed, and while his body, and brain, remained perfectly preserved, the chemical treatments failed to preserve his memories or personality. What woke up was not the Valentin Matusevich that ‘went under,’ and it was only through intensive cybernetic replacements for damaged nerve pathways that they even got a reply at all. Attempting against hope to ‘retrain’ him in hopes of stimulating theoretically ‘dormant’ memories, the project was shelved with the collapse of the Soviet bloc. Saturated with dangerous super-chilled gases, ‘Sols’ body is a thing suspended between life and death, cold to the touch and kept in working trim by the cybernetics implanted within him (and powered by the radioactivity of the internal gases themselves). He can generate vast quantities of the same cryogenic mists that put him into suspension, to enshroud an area, shock someone into temporary disability, or even attempint to place them into partial suspension and slowing their brain-functions and reaction speeds!

He can generate the mists with enough force to suspend himself in the air, surrounded with a cocoon of lighter than air gases, and has tweaked his internal cybernetic network to allow him to tap into and manipulate other machinery in his immediate area.

He has abandoned the name of Valentin Matusevich, and upon leaving Russia goes by the name ‘Solomon Smith.’ His legal status remains uncertain. Is he a person? Is he a machine? Is he a zombie? Is he something completely new, walking around in the cryogenically and cybernetically and chemically animated corpse of a dead man?
