Aegis

Character from Worm by Wildbow

Carlos — the Wards team leader whose adaptive biology keeps him fighting through injuries that would kill anyone else, leading by example and by the book.

Carlos leads the Wards with earnest dedication and a by-the-book approach that earns respect if not excitement. His power is adaptive biology — when injured, his body reroutes function through whatever still works. A destroyed lung means his skin absorbs oxygen. A broken leg means his arms take over locomotion. He can fly, he's tough, and he refuses to stay down, which makes him a reliable leader even if he lacks tactical brilliance. He takes his responsibilities seriously and acts as a buffer between the Wards' personalities and PRT bureaucracy.

Appearance

Broad-shouldered Hispanic teenager in a rust-red costume with a shield emblem. Often visibly injured but still moving — his body adapts around damage rather than healing it cleanly.

Also known as: Aegis, Carlos
