Aldrich reeks of arrogance and sophistication. He normally views himself as someone who has a higher status among the rest, looking down at those who are obviously not on his level. While he may not be the kindest person in the world, he still went on and pursued a career on heroism although it's mostly for his publicity. He is well known by many and has done quite a fair bit of his job, enough to get him his very own action figure for children. Normally, he'd only work if it's a big thing, when the cameras are rolling and has a clear shot of his face. But deep within his arrogance and pride he also cares for the safety of the city as he still has his conscience.

When in public however, Aldrich takes on a whole new persona. He would act chivalrous, masking his true personality from the public. He acts in a way that children and the likes would end up liking him and aspire to be like him. With this act on, the most of the public ends up falling for it and gets to love him as their hero.

Despite this, it must still be kept in mind that it's never too late for him to change.

Aldrich was the only son of a couple of billionaires. His father, the owner and CEO of Luxwell Corp. and his mother, a famous actress at that time. Being the son of a disgustingly rich family, Aldrich was given, if not, one of the highest forms of education. Enrolled on the most prestigious school known in the world and was also tutored by some of the greatest men. Thanks to this, Aldrich's genius level intellect bloomed and developed.

He was born a mutant, at the age of seven, he was already well aware that he had an enhanced condition. But it didn't satisfy him, simply having an enhanced condition isn't good enough, it didn't really stand out as powerful for him. And so, with his immense intellect, he was able to develop a serum to further enhance his powers permanently through self experimentation. He developed a super serum, a golden substance which he then dubbed as 'Ichor' derived from the word used by Greeks to describe the blood of the gods. He was selfish enough to keep this to himself and destroyed all of his records to prevent anyone from finding out his discovery before anyone can reproduce it.

Aldrich loved the public's attention right from the very beginning and entered hero business mainly because of it and his entrepreneurial parents approved of this. He never cared whether or not people knew about his true identity, in fact, he wanted everyone to know who he was. Hence, registering for the Initiative never needed any second thoughts for him. He posed as a noble hero who fought for the greater good, when in reality, it's all just for his publicity. Well, thanks to this, their corporation is now one of the most trusted among all, giving them a continues flow of cash, more than what they ever needed. Plus, he has his own action figures, what's not to love being a hero loved by many.

[break][break]
Aldrich's hero costume is composed mostly of the colors gold and blue, it has a golden cape and a blue letter G in the middle with stands for gold, while he did thought of putting an M in the middle instead of a G as his hero name was Midas, he still went with the G. No one really knows why he chose the letter G as his symbol, but his big secret is that he was drunk while designing his suit. Why did he choose Midas as his hero name? Simple, because it's cool, plus it's associated with gold.

Just as it says, Aldrich has a superhuman condition, namely; superhuman strength, durability, stamina, and speed. For reference, he is capable of lifting large with ease, withstand a blow from a superhuman, and run faster than the fastest sports car to date with maximum effort. Despite having immense power, he is still able to control it and limit himself when needed.



While his regeneration may not rival that of superhuman regeneration, it is still much more enhanced than what normal humans can do. For reference, it allows Aldrich to heal deep cuts in a matter of hours.



Not really viewed much of a power but rather an ability. Thanks to his genius level intellect, he is able to learn new things much faster, it is also possible for Aldrich to develop various advanced chemicals and techs though he rarely develops any unless needed.
