ANTÆUS
I've got it! I've been grappling with the nature of Brick Malloy's monstrous appearance after the sinister agents of Perfidious Albion subject him to the pernicious Antæus Serum, but now I think I've got it: obsidian.



Post-transformation Brick isn't made out of obsidian, but his skin is as dark as obsidian and upon receiving a sharp, sudden impact, such as from a blunt weapon or a bullet, it instantly hardens and takes on every appearance of being obsidian. Brick isn't bulletproof, but he's bullet-resistant and almost infintely resilient. And of course possessed of prodigious strength. Monstrous as he is, he's the wonder of the age.
