Garfield a regardé Serenity essayer de leur briser de la glace en essayant de les faire parler. Malheureusement, aucun d'entre eux ne voulait exactement parler pour répondre. Il voulait essayer, mais il bourdonnait la tête en ce moment et il ne pouvait pas penser droit. Il descendit la tête et regardait à terre, la main droite recouvrant l'oreille. Il a pris plusieurs respirations profondes. Il ignorait actuellement ce qui se passait, mais heureusement, rien ne s'est réellement passé.
Il se tourna ensuite pour regarder la masse de chair qu'il avait connue sous le nom d'Howard. On pourrait dire que ce type n'était pas vraiment le plus beau des regards. Garfield n'était pas dérangé par son apparence, mais il était l'un des rares à ne pas s'enfuir presque immédiatement à l'horrible vue d'Howard se promenant dans la pièce. Il était comme un nigthmare marchant, pour être parfaitement honnête et n'importe qui resterait loin s'ils ne savaient pas mieux. Garfield savait mieux. Howard était quelqu'un de très gentil. La masse de chair était un grand ami la plupart du temps et il savait garder l'humeur relativement légère. Garfield a pu lui parler chaque fois que Serenity n'était pas disponible, bien qu'une quantité relativement élevée d'informations n'ait pas été divulguée. Peut-être un jour.
Garfield a donné une vague à Howard.
Sérénité commença à parler et il tourna toute son attention vers elle. En voyant le flyer, il s'inclina la tête sur le côté. Un... Maison hantée? Il s'attendait à ce que ce soit une sorte de mission, mais il a deviné que Serenity avait ses raisons. Et elle l'a fait, c'était à eux de se lier. Garfield ne s'est pas disputé, ce serait peut-être bien pour eux tous. Il ne pouvait pas dire grand-chose, mais au moins il y aurait plus de gens pour comprendre ses circonstances étranges juste au cas où ceux qui peuvent s'en occuper n'étaient pas présents.
Umbra m'a alors demandé, qu'en est-il des autres qui ne ressemblaient pas à des humains? En effet, beaucoup d'entre eux ressemblaient plus à des monstres et pouvaient à peine sortir avant que quelqu'un les éblouisse. En fait, ils étaient très limités. Serenity leur a ensuite dit quoi faire. Garfield a supposé qu'il serait aussi celui qui irait à la Maison Haunted, compte tenu du fait qu'il était humain. "À quelle heure quittons-nous Serenity?" Il s'est dit qu'un peu d'enthousiasme lui ferait plaisir. Il n'était pas vraiment sûr de la maison hantée - qui sait ce qui pourrait arriver quand ils font accidentellement quelque chose qu'ils ne voulaient pas faire à cause de la peur?
Garfield a repoussé ces pensées vers sa tête. Pas besoin de s'inquiéter pour ça. Espérons.
Name: Garfield Oliver Remus
Alias: Grenadier
Age: 38
Gender: Male

Appearance: Garfield stands at six foot one and has a rather muscular build. He would often wear a shirt and camo cargo pants when in casual clothing. His brown hair is usually slicked back, as was suggested to him by one of his late friends, and he also has chestnut brown eyes. He seems to carry around the wolf tooth necklace he has, but he never said where he got it but it does seem awfully authentic. When he's out doing hero stuff, he simply wears a black leather jacket over his shirt, cargo pants, a black mask, gloves and combat boots. He has two bandolier-like sashes crossing both his shoulders which contain rocks and other assortment of small objects to be used in battle.




Personality Strengths: Garfield is a rather calm person. He's generally quiet and is a better listener than a spokesperson. A lot of people assume that he's mute since he rarely speaks; however, when he does speak, it would become obvious that he's actually pretty nice. He's an honest person and it is, once more, shown when he answers a question. He is the kind of person who silently helps before leaving without so much as another word. He has a soft spot for animals and can be usually seen smiling around them.
Personality Flaws: Despite his calm exterior, Garfield on the field of battle is rather merciless and he still keeps his stoic expression. Actually, in the field of battle, he seems entirely emotionless. This tends to put off most heroes as he seemingly acts more like a villain than a hero. Out of battle, however, he seems to have his head in the clouds most of the time. He has little presence in the room too. He also shows signs of emotional dependence on others. He also claims to hear voices in his head, most of the time it is his siblings or some other close person to him.

Powers:
 Garfield has no name for his power. He has the ability to turn anything into a grenade - meaning everything he throws essentially can and will explode once it makes contact with a solid area. The mass of the object is directly proportional to how powerful the explosion is. In his own words, "The heavier the object, the bigger the boom." He also has three categories of said grenades:
 Explosive - The object would explode just like a normal grenade. It has the capabilities of blowing someone up.
 Stun - This acts more as a flashbang type of grenade. It releases a bright light and a loud sound that would leave most incapacitated for a few seconds.
 Smoke - Generally used for escaping

 Enhanced Physical condition - A side effect from an experiment gone wrong, his body can resist his own explosions and typically has a tougher exterior than most, making it harder to bruise him. He also has a greater physical strength than normal people and even trumping some of the enhanced humans in terms of brute strength. This doesn't mean he's invincible and he actually heals slower than most people.

Skills: 
Major Skills:
 Parkour - Being part of the military from a time past, he has trained in this art for many years and has been using it most of the time while on hero business.
 Sneaking - Because of his less than admirable presence and generally being quiet in both speech and movement, he has garnered quite the ability... albeit unintentionally.
 Art - In his free time, he would often be seen with a sketchpad and drawing tools. Sometimes even a canvas and paint.

Minor Skills:
 Cooking - He's been living alone for a while. It'd be a wonder if he didn't learn it.
 Animals - This guy seems to form bonds with animals faster than with humans
 Singing - He has a surprisingly good voice.


Weapons: He only carries small objects that he throws for his power. He stashes them in his bondolier.

Pebbles - It doesn't spread that much but it can damage a normal person when they take it directly, leaving them with a nasty burn and ruined clothing. The shock from the explosion might be the main reason why normal people can't take it. Blast radius would span from 4 inches to six inches depending on the size.
Normal-sized rocks - Relatively larger than the pebble but not as much as a grenade. If taken by a normal person, it would leave a rather big wound and blow a body part off depending on the position of where it lands. It would be extremely painful though and the resulting bleeding might be the cause of alarm. Blast radius would effectively range from one foot to two feet.
Bigger rocks - The kind that is bigger than your hand so you can't wrap it all the way around. It is equivalent to a grenade and will blow off a part (or a lot of them depending on where it lands) and would probably kill a normal human being (highly likely). Blast radius would be around that of an average grenade, added with the extra shrapnel that would not explode from said rock or any other object of that size. Shrapnel only applies to this size of an object and bigger.

Equipment: He typically never leaves without his sketchpad and drawing pencils, if not in a mission that is. It's usually in a small backpack. He also seems to like carrying around some food to feed animals.

History: Believe it or not, Garfield had a relatively normal childhood. His powers didn't surface until much, much later. His father served in the military and encouraged his children to join the military as well, much to the their mother's dismay. He was a cheerful child who looked up to his father so he agreed to join the military once he was old enough. His younger sister and brother didn't follow through though, thinking that they would fit in elsewhere. His father died when he was twelve. His last promise to his father was to serve the military in his place. His mother was hesitant on letting Garfield train for the military and his younger siblings discouraged him because he had great talent for art and that he should pursue that. Garfield figured out that they were worried for his safety because of the superhumans and how they could really hurt him, being normal and all.
Even with his family's disapproval of his decision, he still went to an academy and trained. By the age of twenty, he was out in the field. His job mainly consisted of being backup to the well-known superheroes which also involved almost getting blown apart, being teleported to the Bahamas (he was so lost at that time), shooting until the cartridge is empty only to see that it didn't even put a scratch on the enemy and the likes. Even so, he enjoyed his time there with his friends. His group of friends usually got out relatively unharmed. They took their day offs together. There were five of them, two females and three males including him. Each time they got a day off, they would live in a house of the family of one of the members. This was probably the prime of his life. He had a good relationship with his family, had excellent friends and an exciting job.
Everything came crashing down when he was twenty-eight years old. In the midst of a battle, his power emerged. He threw a rock at an enemy and he blew up. Note that this was a normal human being and he was torn asunder. The death didn't disturb him, considering he was military at that time, but they were all equally shocked to find out that Garfield had powers. His superiors caught wind of this and then quickly tested him. He was placed apart from his original team and group of friends since he had powers. They would make him train with it, and that's when he started hating his job. But this wasn't the worst of it. Figuring that maybe making a superhuman wasn't a bad idea, especially for him since he made grenades with inorganic materials, so they underwent an experiment.
It went wrong. The side effects had not been taken into note.
While making his body more resilient to force which ended up with him being a lot sturdier and his grenades not affecting him as much as a normal person, it also lowered his healing factor. His physical strength was greatly increased, but he suffered mentally and emotionally. The usual cheerful Garfield turned into a quiet and closed off man. He was deployed with his old friends in hopes that they didn't break him too much. It didn't work. His last battlefield on the military, it ended with two women and two men in their side dead by explosion and a mission complete... but he was the last one standing. Or rather, he was sitting down and crying with his hands in his ears, shouting for the voices to stop.
They failed. Garfield also had a bit of a problem adjusting to the life with his kind of power. No more shooting the paper ball into the bin or else it would explode. No more spreading the small grains to feed the pigeons, or else those would explode like miniature fireworks. It made him dependent to his younger siblings, since his mother had passed away. They tried their best to take care of him. They cared enough to sacrifice some of their time to help him. He was their older brother after all. But everytime they saw Garfield simply staring at nothing, they felt a pang of guilt. Why couldn't they stop him before? If not for their father and their lack of insistence, he would have still been the same.
His siblings died because of a villain attack. Garfield tried to save them, he really did. However, he wasn't powerful enough but the villain had been taken down by a superhero. But they were late. His siblings were already dead. They saved the day, but not his family. Thinking that it was because big shot superheroes didn't have the time to look at minor villains, he decided to go as a vigilante. That's when he joined up with the Rogue X. He found home and shelter with them, being a misfit himself, albeit for rather different reasons. They said his power was too 'destructive' but the team accepted him nonetheless. He found out about the other types of grenade after he was done in the military and is now trying to find out more about it.

Others:
- His power was too loud and too destructive. His personality is also rather villainy so he was never invited to become a superhero group.
- Everything he throws explodes so he needs to be careful to 'place' the things he want on the ground so they wouldn't explode.
- His power does not work on living things; however, it does work on fruits and vegetables. Just not on animals and humans.
