He was brought in to lead the Brockton Bay Wards after Leviathan's attack and later moved on to lead the Irregulars after the Noelle Incident.

Personality

Weld is described by Taylor as being "....one of the only decent ones out there..." He is respectful, honest, and kind to just about everyone barring Cauldron, the Slaughterhouse 9 and the rest of the "true" villains.

While his size and strength lend many to view him as a simple front line combatant he has a keen intelligence with analytical and tactical insight.^{[citation needed]} However he struggles with the changes his body has gone through having lost much of his ability to taste, feel pressure, and smell. He is highly reliant on music as a coping mechanism as a result.^{[citation needed]}

Appearance

Weld's body is made of a variety of metals — mostly a dusky dark grey, but with silver tracing his musculature and silver eyes.

After creating the Irregulars he is described as having formed scales and small horns throughout his body.

Abilities and Powers

Weld, as a Case 53, possesses a complete metallic physiology. Due to his unique physiology, he is stronger and more durable than others - in his words, 'practically untouchable in a fight'. It also gives him another advantage as it falls into a middle ground between organic and inorganic which renders him immune from select powers.

Weld can rearrange the metals that form his body, separate them into their composite elements, and push the impurities out of his skin - allowing him to handle things metallic objects with his hands and teeth if he needs to. He can also force parts of himself to melt and drop off, leaving a part of himself behind which makes him distinctly uncomfortable until he replaces the tissue he's lost.

His entire body is metallic down to his inner organs, his malleable physiology allows him to survive what would be grievous if not fetal injuries to a baseline Human being.

History

He woke up amnesic in a scrapyard where he spent an inordinate amount of time separating himself from the metal that had been fused to his body.
