He is very patriotic and though he often gets in squabbles with the legal system such as cops and attorneys, he does believe and act for an underlying good. Though he may severely harm an opponent, he would never kill someone, EVER.
Origin Info/Details: Axl grew up in the sub urbs of Philadelphia, PA and quickly adapted to a hard life when he was forced to take a job at the age of only 14 when his father( a business-man) died in a driveby shooting done my what is believed to be the Italian Mob.
By the time he was 17, family tensions had arrose when his fathers side of the family began to blame Axl's mother for the death of his father and by the time he was 18, had ceased all communication.
After graduating from high school Axl had gotten a scholarship to Villanova and persued a career in Marine Biology. He preffered a more hands on approach to his field after going through 8 years of college and being forced into more research-ical type work and being given his P.h.D, he learned to become a scuba diver.
One day while observing Whale migratory patterns, his SCUBA equipment failed and while a normal person would not have had access to breathable oxygen, Axl realized he could breathe quite effortlessly without his equipment.
Without telling anyone of his newfound abilities, he sought a way to avenge his fathers death. He traveled to Tibet where for a year,he became an elite killing machine under the training of buddhist monks. He mastered techniques of hand-to-hand and sword combat and created himself a multi-function armor which could provide many types of defense against, electric currents, heat, projectiles such as: Bullets ( In vital areast such as the spine, neck, Arms, legs and abdomen as well as minor protection on the back of the hands), Arrows and any basically device short of a rocket through the use of kevlar and ceramic plates. It could also protect against brute force such as bites, punches and kicks, ect.
He also learned that besides being able to filter water into breathable oxygen while underwater, he could also control water and any of its many manifestations such as steam, ice, ect.
Upon returning to Philadelphia, he learned that he had inherited approximatley 40 billion dollars from his long deceased uncle who had no other relatives left, aswell as his organazation that had operated in the 1960's and designed and manufactured arms & armor for the US government. He planned to use that as a way update his previously simple armor into the more advanced version it is now. He hires old friends of his fathers as board of trustees members.
Later learning the Italian mob boss who'd been arrested 12 years prior, had escaped to a city in Maine. Knowing this, Axl travels north in hope to find him, and avenge his father's death.

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue):
The flight had been quick, but but very turbulous as thunderstorms riddled the sky with lightning bolts. Axl's private jet, neared Lost Haven and as the jet flew over a small area of sea between prison, and central island, Axl leaped out the cargo door, descending 2500 hundred feet into the ocean below.
The force of impact upon hitting the ocean at a height that high with a speed that fast, would have killed the average human; Axl wasn't a normal human. Before making contact with the rough seas below, he manipulated the water to reduce the effects that the normal impact would've had. He positioned himself into a streamlined shape at the last moment and left little, to no splash what so ever.
The swim to shore was effortless as he was able to clear speeds underwater of in excess of 40 miles per hour. Thus he was a able to reach shore in just about 3 minutes.
Upon walking onto the eerily quiet beaches, he was doused in a dim light cast from scattered lightpoles that lined the edge of the beach. The night was at it's darkest point and Axl saw it as the prime opportunity to make his way into te city, and to his Private Loft just a few miles away. He would walk along the edge of the city and the beach until he could get to his Building.
While in this new city, he felt lost, it was very differant than his hometown but the daunting-ness didnt bother him and he new he had business to take care of: 1) He needed to track and take down the Coriscatelli Crime Family, the same that had killed his father, and 2)to find others like him, if their were any.
As he found the street his private loft was on, he was relieved to know that it was only about 50 feet from the beach, making it easier than he thought to get to it unseen.
Upon entering the door, and taking his elevator to the 38th floor. He was greeted by many of his private butlers who's job was to cater to his needs whenever he required. A man in the elevator, wearing a tuxedo like all the others,showed him the layout of the area he owned now. He had control over the 1st-39th floor with the 40th floor and rooftop being owned by a urban farmer who sought to make the world greener by growing crops in the city rooftops of urban enviroments.
