ABILITIES:
Matter Mimicry;; Barrigan can mimic the chemical and physical properties of any solid form of matter he comes into contact with. While under the effects of this ability Barrigan becomes a living, homogenous golem of the substance in question. He tends to favor mimicking hardier and abundant materials such as asphalt and concrete but has been known to tote along small samples of various elements. Most notably, Ewan always seems to wear a full compliment of rings made up of various materials that can aide him when performing whatever tasks he's performing. While he tends to play up the more brutish aspects of this ability Barrigan has enough know how to fully capitalize on the chemical and less obvious properties of his transformations.
Barrigan must be in contact with the compound in question in order to copy it and if he releases his transformation he must come into contact with the element again in order to resume the previous form. Barrigan can only mimic a single form of matter at any given time. He can however transform individual body parts leaving the rest of his body flesh and blood. Barrigan's transformations must, in most cases, be willfully triggered. If Barrigan is knocked unconscious while transformed he will remain in that state until he awakens and willfully changes back.
Superhuman Condition;; Whenever Barrigan transforms his body his physical capabilities increase proportionally to the strength of the chemical compound in question. Typically, only his durability, endurance, and strength have shown any marked increases. This ability can also serve as a detriment as mimicking weaker materials has shown to decrease his overall physicality. On average, mimicking his favorite elements of stone and concrete, Barr is able to, with difficulty, lift and throw a fully city bus. He's also able to take said bus head on suffering several superficial cracks in his body.
While shifted, Barrigan is incapable of producing any human bodily fluid. Most importantly to him, this means he cannot bleed and his muscles cannot produce fatigue toxins. This allows Barr to push himself past normal human limits and operate past usually mortal injuries and for hours without rest. Unfortunately, he still requires sustenance, sleep, and oxygen.
Matter Absorption;; Barrigan has recently discovered the ability to absorb forms of matter he mimics. Currently, he is limited to absorbing twice his mass and redistributing it about his body. Most commonly this serves to bulk him up and increase his already prodigious strength but can be used to form make shift weapons most commonly in the form of hammers, spikes, and other bludgeoning instruments. This ability places a strain on Barrigan and he prefers to only use it under extreme duress or to quickly finish fights. Once he absorbs matter he cannot make any sort of transition unless its to his human form. Upon changing back he cannot alter his form for several hours. The usefulness of this ability is limited to the amount of the element he has available to him.
SKILLS:
Brawler;; Barrigan has no formal training in any martial art but has proven to be an exceptionally proficient brawler. Barr's fighting style consist mostly of throwing haymakers, headbutts, elbows, and every underhanded trick in the book in order to, as he puts it, "put the other guy in the dirt". He relies heavily on his own enhanced physicality to endure and muscle through most of his problems. Though, even in his base form, he's been able to catch others off guard.
WEAKNESSES:
Elemental Manipulators;; Being able to turn into an element makes you a prime target for their manipulators. Barrigan has found out first hand that once he transforms he's little more than a slave to their whims. His only outs are depowering or switching to an element they can't manipulate.
Accidental Shifts;; The more times Barrigan is forced to shift in a short period of time the more unstable his powers become. Shifting more than a handful of times in several hours cause his powers to behave erratically. Most prominently, he loses the ability to selectively engage his power, mimicking anything solid that he comes into contact with.
Damage while Transformed;; If Barrigan suffers any damage while transformed he is unable to transform back. Depending on the severity transforming back could even result in his immediate death. In order to return to his human form Barrigan must patch the wound with the same or similar element. This means if injured in his concrete state he must repair any wounds with concrete. While in a metallic state he's forced to weld wounds closed, a painful prospect.

Appearance
GENERAL: Standing at a haggard, six foot two Barrigan looks like any other "Heavy" in the industry. Sporting no less than seventy-four tattoos and dressed in ragged clothing he looks like the kind of guy you'd find in a seedy underground bar and you'd be right. Beneath the layers of grime and ragged clothes is a physique chiseled by barroom brawls, menial labor, and picking fights with anyone who might deign to call themselves a superhero. A fair share of scars, picked up a long the way, mar what might have been called an athletic physique if it was held by someone other than Ewan Barrigan.
Beneath his mop of dark brown hair are a pair of mahogany eyes that constantly roam over his surroundings, quietly estimating and gauging the value of whatever they fall upon.
Adorning his fingers are eight rings, each made of a different material: surgical steel, silicone, titanium, brass, silver, plastic, vulcanized rubber, and gold.
COSTUME: Barrigan tends to engage in criminal acts in his street clothes. His transformation to mimicked states serve as an adequate disguise in most circumstances.

History
Some people
Another cry for help, another altercation, another missed day, another pink slip
Barrigan's life had fallen into a pattern at this point in time. While he was content to try and help where he could and live off of temp jobs Mirabelle was not. Barrigan wasn't the one figuring out how to stretch their pennies for groceries or picking through goodwill to cloth their daughters. He certainly wasn't the one starring at the mounting medical bills to care for Cheri. It only took a handful of years for her to finally work up the nerve and serve him the divorce papers. It was the second time in his life he was faced with something he couldn't just bulldoze through. He begged her to stay, begged her not to take his daughter but in the end, in spite of how strong he was, he simply couldn't hold on.
Twenty one years old with a felony record, a divorce, and a five year old he barely got to saw Barrigan hit his lowest point.
Barrigan would never say he turned to villainy and despite what some people might say he'd never consider himself a villain.
