Explanation of the conversion: Since Delroy is said to have three times the strength, agility and endurance of a top human athlete and Champions Strength doubles every five points, I gave him a 28 Strength, 8 more then a top athlete. I followed suit in his Dexterity and Constitution.
History: Delroy Garrett Jr. was an Olympic sprinter who was kicked out
when he was discovered to be using steroids. He then found the Triune
Understanding. He claims they helped unlock the amazing power inside him.
He first hit the hero scene when the Avengers responded to a distress
call from the Kennedy Airport and were confronted by Moses Magnum and
his men. Triathlon showed up on the scene when the Avengers were loosing
and helped turn the tide. He aided Captain America against Silverclaw,
who Magnum was blackmailing into helping him (Avengers III #8).
Triathlon returned to the public eye in Calleyville, Texas with the opening
of the new headquarters of the Triune Understanding, where he displayed
his acrobatic prowess to the crowd and pushed the church to the people
attending. The Avengers were tracking Lord Templar, and tracked his energies
to the Triune headquarters, where Triathlon met with them, until Pagan
attacked. Triathlon and the Avengers fought Pagan, but were unable to
take him until Lord Templar showed up and defeated Pagan by himself. Templar left
with Pagan, the Avengers unable to stop him (Avengers III #15).
Triathlon then accompanied the head of the Triune Understanding to the
Avengers headquarters to talk with them, when some protestors were preparing
to attack the headquarters with a rocket launcher. Triathlon spotted
the attackers and took them out. The Avengers federal security liason
then suggested that they make Triathlon a member, and although Iron Man
had objections, Triathlon accepted and alongside the She-Hulk replaced the departing Captain America and
Thor (Avengers III #27).
He was among the heroes incapacitated by Graviton when he attempted to take over the Earth once again (Thunderbolts #57).
Powers: Triathlon has three times the strength and speed of a top human athlete. It is said his senses
are three times as sensitive as a human and he can sprint to over 100 miles per hour.
