Why They Matter

A top-tier physical powerhouse whose raw strength rivals the strongest beings in the ASCU.

Who They Were

Otis Axl operates as Steamroll, one of Skyhaven's physically strongest altered villains and a direct benchmark for the ASCU's highest raw-strength heroes.

The choices that still follow them

The Story That Made Them

Steamroll enters the ASCU through Skyhaven City, a place already under pressure before they arrive. The person behind the name is Otis Axl. What happened next made them impossible for the city to ignore.
The full origin has not been revealed yet, but the unanswered questions are part of the story: who first recognized their potential, what did power cost them, and who benefits if the truth stays buried?
Their relationships, limits, and decisive choices will surface as the story expands. Until then, Steamroll remains a live thread in Skyhaven City, waiting to collide with the people and systems already shaping the altered era.

The Moment Everything Changed

UMED identifies Steamroll as an AGC carrier. The exact activation event remains sealed, but the result places him at the extreme end of alteredhuman strength.

Capability ratings use a separate 1-7 scale, with higher numbers indicating greater capability in each category. They apply to biological, technological, mystical, and other abilities. Provisional values are estimates awaiting verification. These ratings are distinct from response levels and Judd Metrology's scientific findings. Empty channels indicate an assessment is pending, never a zero rating.

What They Can Do
