[edit] History
Very little about Shrapnel's past and identity is known, although we do know his name is Mark and that he was a normal human at one time. Shrapnel has tried to stay incognito, but failed to do so, after deciding to slaughter anyone who caught even a glimpse of him.
He has since joined The Society[1]. Shrapnel has later resurfaced as one of the exiled supervillains in Salvation Run[2].
[edit] Powers and abilities
As a being made of organic metal, Shrapnel has superhuman strength and stamina. He doesn't have to eat or sleep in this form.
In addition, the metal plates on Shrapnel's body can be projected into explosive bursts. Each scale is a living organism controlled by Shrapnel's consciousness, so once fired they can be directed and recalled at will. Pieces lost by Shrapnel will eventually die, but he can regenerate new ones.
