Copper

Copper 

One of the oldest superheroes on the planet, Copper Man has been helping people for around a thousand years. Known for his bright red metallic skin tone, a result of  Copper Man in ancient times only knew two of his powers, that he was incredibly flexible, and could create currency for countries. He used his powers to help many different peoples throughout history, including the Native Americans and the Ancient Greeks and Romans. Copper Man helped early civilizations in starting the Bronze Age. Copper Man has also been around for longer than any other superhero, with the exception of Gold and Iron Man, and was helping early mankind as early as 9000 B.C.

 Around modern times, Copper Man discovered that he could do much more than he had previously thought. He discovered that with his body's new found ability to conduct heat and electricity, that he could now electrocute and burn his enemies. Only Silver Man can conduct electricity better than Copper Man. He can combine with his sidekick the Tin Man to form a much stronger superhero. During Copper Man's time off from fighting crime, he helps people to make electrical wires in their homes. Copper Man also works making pennies for the U.S mint.  Even though Copper Man has a lot of useful super powers to fight off his enemies, no superhero is without a weakness. Copper Man has to make sure that he does not stay out in the elements for too long or he will oxidize and change color, allowing his enemies to defeat him.
