Hammer - Kwame Harris
Kwame Harris, aka Hammer, is a performer. He likes to showoff for people. That's why he became a wrestler. He was good at the job, but wanted something more. The sudden rise in super powered beings gave him the idea to become one himself. Having gained incredible strength, Kwame decided to move to Freedom city and join the Ultimate Wrestling League, an organization for super powered wrestlers. Now, he's turning his attention to helping protect the citizens from danger. In return, he hopes to spread his fame.
History
Kwame started life as a wrestler at the late age of 25 in the Pro Championship Wrestling (PCW) organization which lasted from 2006-2014. There, he took on the name Hammer and enjoyed a productive career, but Kwame always wanted to do more with his life. So, when the PCW closed its door, instead of hanging up his time in the ring, Hammer decided to join a new organization.
Kwame then signed up with Total NonStop Action (TNA). His two years with TNA gave him a chance to perfect his two signature moves: HKO - a modified version of of a flying cutter, and his finisher, Hammer Down - a double handed leaping attack. His success was limited in the organization due to his desire for a bigger stage to test his mettle.
By 2015, the world had fully embraced the existence of metahumans. Word of the Ultimate Wrestling League in Freedom City had spread and the profits were finally piling up. Kwame wanted in on the action so he began researching ways metas had appeared. Through his research, he learned of the various designer drugs on the market that would give a person superpowers.
