— Himself
The 23rd clone of Bentley Wittman, AKA the Wizard, Bentley 23 was rescued by the Richards Family and became a member of the Future Foundation. Bentley showed himself to be a loyal if contentious member of the group, eventually coming to terms with his creator and earning the right to his name. Bentley considers the good vs. evil moral axis to be outmoded and annoying, and he rejects all notion of being a super-hero or a super-villain. He's Bentley 23, and he's awesome.

Personality

Bentley is... challenging. He can be a bossy, pushy, arrogant jerk. Even if he likes you. The more he likes you, the more standoffish he can be, in point of fact. It's just who he is, really. He's not bad person, not at all, not... really. He doesn't see himself as a hero or a villain, but rather, he's "on the side of awesome" - that this aligns him with the Future Foundation and the forces of good is... a happy coincidence.

Background

Bentley 23 is a clone of the original Bentley Wittman, the Wizard. He's the 23rd such clone, really, and though Bentley doesn't like to talk about it, it's implied that the Wizard found the other clones imperfect and had them killed. Bentley was rescued by the Fantastic Four and adopted, before joining the Future Foundation, who fast became his family (though he will NEVER admit that to them). As a member of the Future Foundation, he leads a life of adventure and awesomeness, and is the master of his own fate, which even won him his father's respect -- he is the only one of Wittman's clones who chose to be his own creature.

SKILLS

ATHLETICS: Competent - Bentley is an athletic young man in tip-top shape with a well-rounded physical skillset.

COMBAT: Competent - Bentley is a capable hand-to-hand combatant, but he's a dead-eye shot with a slingshot.

GADGETEER: Expert - Bentley is a brilliant gadgeteer, capable of piloting all manner of vehicles, picking up and using all manner of advanced devices, after only a moment to familiarize himself with them, and a brilliant hacker and computer programmer.

INVENTOR: Expert - Bentley is a genius gadgeteer and inventor, capable of building, repairing, and manipulating advanced technological devices on the fly.

SCIENTIST: Expert - Bentley is a brilliant scientist and could be considered expert-level in all disciplines.

ABILITIES

ADVANTAGES

CONTACTS - Bentley has... associates (let's not stoop so low as to call them friends, except for Dragon Man, who 23 *adores*) in the Future Foundation, the Fantastic Four, and by association, Power Pack.

FUTURE FOUNDATION UNIFORM - Bentley has a Future Foundation uniform made of damage-resistant Unstable Molecules that function as high-end body armor. In addition, the costume includes his ever-rotating array of tools and other equipment. It's got a great cut, and really lets him accessorize.

TECH - As a super-genius, Bentley has access to an oft-rotating array of gadgets, widgets, gizmos, tools and gear, as he needs them. If he doesn't have them, he can build them.

WEAKNESSES

EXCESSIVE CONFIDENCE - It's not arrogance if you can back it up. Bentley is... excessively confident, which can make him challenging and off-putting. He sees himself as a natural and rightful leader, and often conceals his true admiration of others behind a sneering loftiness.

THE WIZARD - Bentley is a clone of Bentley Wittman, the Wizard. His father is, in a word, certifiable. Bentley knows it, and quietly fears going mad someday, himself. He came to terms with his father, who expressed respect for Bentley's refusal to allow anyone to dictate his destiny to him -- not even the man who created him. But who knows what the Wizard will do next? The man is a lunatic.
