Background / History
Hawking transmigrated into the Marvel world and recognized Sokovia and Wanda Maximoff as evidence that he had arrived in a dangerous fictional universe. His immediate priority became survival and self-improvement 2.
After gaining Saiyan traits through the Goku Template, Hawking was adopted by Oleg and Elena alongside Wanda and Pietro. He trained in secret, strengthened his tail to overcome its paralysis weakness, and became a protective older-brother figure to the twins 4. He later brought the family to New York with Professor X's assistance and joined Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters 7.
At the school, Hawking repelled Stryker's forces with Wolverine, using Kamehameha and the Power Pole against soldiers and combat helicopters 11 12. His first Great Ape transformation during the conflict with S.H.I.E.L.D. demonstrated enormous power but also the danger of losing control. Loading the Harry Potter Template gave him a Wizard bloodline that allowed him to remain rational in Great Ape form 23 25.
After years of extreme training, Hawking proposed that mutants build public trust by acting as Super Heroes. With Professor X's approval, he began operating in New York, publicly debuting in golden armor as the “War God” and later building Hero Alliance International Company around that ideal 44 47 55.
During the Apocalypse incident, Hawking used the global broadcast to establish himself as a defender of humanity. He publicly claimed to be a Saiyan survivor from Planet Vegeta rather than a mutant, using the identity to position himself between humans and mutants 103 105 111 113.
His influence later expanded beyond Earth. Ancient One appointed him Kamar-Taj's temporary Sorcerer Supreme, and Hawking increasingly traveled between worlds, incorporated new power systems, and eventually formed a Dimensional Universe within his Supreme Power system 330 469.
Appearance
Hawking is initially a young boy with a Saiyan tail. By age fifteen, his intensive physical training gives him a notably muscular, well-developed physique that attracts attention even among Xavier's students 11 39.
- A prehensile Saiyan tail, usually concealed around his waist; severing it forcibly ends his Great Ape transformation until it regrows 4 106.
- Temporarily takes on Goku's appearance while using the Goku Template 4.
- His Harry Potter Template appearance includes messy hair, glasses, a lightning-shaped forehead mark, black wizard robes, and a Holly Wand 25.
- Uses a distinctive golden armored suit as his public Super Hero image 47 57.
- Can assume a Shinigami-style form with black robes, a black longsword, and a Hollowfication mask 225.
- Becomes a gigantic Great Ape when transformed, later retaining reason and voluntary control over the form 25 188.
Personality
Hawking is highly pragmatic, strategic, and focused on long-term growth. Early on, he avoids using his strength for easy money because he recognizes the risks of exposure and the personality effects of the Goku Template 4. He consistently seeks methods to improve his strength, whether through combat training, magic, bloodline integration, the Gravity Chamber, or Protagonist Templates 39 188 206.
Despite his calculating nature, Hawking is protective of those he considers his own. He cares for Wanda and Pietro, rescues Professor X's group, trains Wanda, protects Peter and Jessica, and guides Tony Stark and Bruce Banner toward better choices 4 26 52 93 200 201.
His public heroism is also deliberate. Hawking understands media influence and uses spectacle, interviews, staged appearances, and public rescues to shape attitudes toward mutants and Hero Alliance 44 50 67 103. He is willing to be ruthless against threats or political enemies, but his stated principle is to protect the weak, punish evil, and uphold justice 104 116.

- Employs martial arts techniques including the Triple Afterimage Fist, Destructo Disc, and Sky Dance Technique 19 75 66.

Hawking can become a Saiyan Great Ape, multiplying his physical power.
