While in his villainous personas, Prime and Legion, Michael's style differs when he is either one or the other. When he is Prime, Michael will wear: an expensive black three-piece business suit, a white dress shirt, a semi-reflective full face mask, white gloves, gold-titanium jewelry (consisting of: cuff-links, two curb chain necklaces, and an analogue watch), and white leather oxfords. While dressing like this he sports two gold-titanium 50 cal Desert Eagle pistols and a bulletproof vest underneath his suit vest.
As Legion, Michael has a much more paramilitary appearance, wearing: full head bulletproof mask, black full-sleeved undershirt, midnight digital camouflage pants, black combat boots, black hooded canvas bomber jacket (which has the Legion's patch on the left-side of the chest and the right sleeve by the shoulder), black bulletproof functional vest, and black shooting gloves. The types of weapons the Legion carries differs by the mission but they will always carry: a combat knife, a ballistic knife, and a matte black Glock 45.

- Firearms: Michael enjoys going to the shooting range and finds cleaning them relaxing. They're also the tools he used to protect his comrades.
- Cooking: Growing up as the eldest child of two, Michael learned to cook to take care of his sibling and himself while his mother worked.
- Mixed Martial Arts: Michael enjoys watching and competing in combat sports. He has spent the majority of his childhood learning this craft at a local gym, this lead to him pursuing a career in the sport after being honorably dismissed from the military.
D I S L I K E S
- Vices: As stated earlier, Michael suffers from substance abuse and views this as an unacceptable weakness. He tries to stay sober as long as he can but whenever he relives his trauma he attempts to escape through his vices.
- Heroes/Villains: Michael views the majority of heroes/villains with contempt, believing most of them are harmless. The ones who have proven themselves to be a threat, by causing multiple deaths of innocent civilians, however shouldn't be allowed to commit such acts. This has lead to Michael leading the life of a villain, to protect society by eliminating those who have proven a threat. There is a slim possibility of convincing Michael to not eliminate a target but it is incredibly difficult.

While still a young man the unfortunate and sudden lost of his personal hero, his father, and the hardships that his mother faced after his death, transformed Michael's personality. Without two parents in the home Michael had to take on the roll of a father for his younger sister, Christine, which lead to him maturing from a young age, losing his childlike innocence and becoming somewhat jaded. It was during this time that he learned: how to take care of others, being responsible, general life skills, and how to portray strength. It was also during this time that Michael was bullied, leading to him training in mixed martial arts at his local gym in order to learn how to defend himself. He also developed some negative traits, which included: hiding his emotions from others, aggressive tendencies towards those who slighted him or his family, and an overall apathy towards those not close to him.
Still pursuing his goal from a young age to become like his father, Michael joined the military, the Marine Corp, right out of high school. While in boot camp he experienced tough and exhausting days of training but he was able to pull through due to his own physical abilities and the help of his fellow soldiers. This close camaraderie lead to his apathetic attitude towards others to lessen. Although his personality wasn't changed much, becoming more set in his current ways, his time while serving in the military taught him: greater work ethic, combat related skills, first aid, firearms use and maintenance, vehicle use, discipline, how to follow, and how to lead. After his training Michael spent many years serving in the military, becoming a commissioned officer and being taught specialized duties, leading several men on rather dangerous duties in combat zones.
While serving on one such mission a rogue villain appeared on the scene, being pursued by a hero, whose involvement lead to complications within the mission and ultimately the deaths, and mutilation to those fortunate not to die, Michael's men. Michael tried to protect his men to the best of his abilities, including using his own powered abilities, but was incapable of saving his men. This lead to Michael forming his current opinion of contempt towards the greater hero/villain movement as a whole, and utter disgust and vitriol towards powered individuals whose actions lead to the deaths of innocent lives, much like his men. To make matters worst when Michael reported the actions of the hero and villain, which lead to his mission failure and the death of his men, his commanding officers chose to sweep the altercation under the rug and hide all evidence of the military's involvement, not even revealing how and where his fellow men died to their families. Sworn to secrecy by his commanding officers and the traumatic event he experienced, leads Michael to become disillusioned in the military and government as a whole.
Having been honorably discharged due to permanent disability retirement, due to Michael suffering from depression and PTSD, Michael channeled his distrust in government and contempt towards powered individuals into a personal vendetta of his to eliminate all heroes/villains who he deemed a great risk to society, knowing that the government would be incapable and unwilling to stop.

After returning home from service, John revealed to Dianne that he had been assigned to another military base, which lead to the Bennett family moving to accommodate John's career. During Michael's early years this was a reoccurring event, spending the majority of the time living overseas due to John's military service. Although it was tough moving from place to place, Michael grew close to his parents and to appreciate his fathers service, wanting to grow up to be just like his father, and his mother's sacrifice and hard work she did for their family. While living in Japan the Bennett family was blessed with another child, Christine, who was showered by love by everyone, including five year old Michael.
After three years had passed, now living in Hawaii while John was serving overseas in the Middle East, Michael's father died while in the service of his country, devastating the Bennett household. Michael's mother Dianne was struck with overwhelming grief, barely holding it together for her children. After John's funeral, Dianne decided to move back to live nearby her parents back in Las Vegas, in order to receive their help during this hard time in their lives. Through the assistance received from the Masons the Bennett household found stability again but there was an emptiness left in all of them after John's death. Dianne began working at one of the hotels nearby at the strip, working late at night, leading to Michael having to learn to take care of his three year old sister while their mother way away.
Michael began to close himself off from others, except his family, during this time in order to try and manage his emotions. This lead to him becoming isolated from his schoolmates and eventually to him being bullied by others. When he would come home he would see the worry on his mother's face, not wanting to burden his mother anymore than necessary, Michael tried to hide his pain and tried to explain away the bruises and scrapes he had. This only lead to his mother crying even more as she held him tight, trying to comfort the young boy. Michael never wanted to see his mother cry for him because of this again, leading to him finding and joining a mixed martial arts gym where he learned how to better defend himself. He had a talent for the combat sport and continued to study it til the day he left home after graduating high school and joining the military, much to his mother's discomfort but she knew this was his wish since he was a kid and begrudgingly accepted.
While training in the military Michael, as well as the other soldiers, struggled with the hellish training. During that time the soldiers grew close together, becoming family, their camaraderie pulling them through all of the obstacles they faced. Michael showed amazing promise, being physically talented due to his training in martial arts, during his training he was recruited to join an elite force of soldiers, undergoing specialized training. It was here that Michael felt he truly belonged, gaining his second family among the special force. After performing a number of missions under a commanding officer Michael showed that he was a capable leader and was trained to lead his own small elite group.
It was during this time in the military that he first learned about his abilities by chance when he noticed that he would have more munitions in his inventory than he had prepared early after returning from a mission. He found that he was capable of replicating items that he had an understanding of and experience with. While experimenting with his ability he found the limitations of his ability, discovering he was capable of even replicating himself.
During a secretive mission given to his unit they were interrupted by the appearance of a villain and hero. Caught up in the destructive fight between the two, the majority of Michael's soldiers were killed. Only one other member of his squad wasn't harmed, one of their newest members, Jessica Murphy, who had been struck by an explosion, losing a leg, who Michael found and dragged out of the area, after performing first aid, and returning to their base. It was then, when Michael returned, that he first started showing the signs of trauma, becoming overwhelmed in his emotions crying and screaming for his fallen soldiers. During the formal briefing he had to give to his superiors Michael disclosed how their mission failed due to the interference of the hero and villain who appeared at the site. Wanting to sweep this event under the rug enraged Michael, directly attacking his superiors until he was subdued by others. Due to all he achieved Michael was honorably discharged, despite what he did, due to permanent disability, which he was later diagnosed for.
Now back in the United States, Michael found himself drowning his trauma and addled mind with drugs and alcohol. He then began to decorate his body in tattoos to remind him of: his fallen brothers and sisters, the times he shared with them, and important symbols to keep him focused on his new goal. When his mind was clear Michael saw all the havoc, destruction, and death caused by villains and vigilante heroes who were left unchecked. In order to make up for the guilt he has towards his fallen soldiers and to protect the society they died for, Michael decides to use his own powers to bring order to the powered population, eliminating all those who have proven they are a big threat to the innocent and are either incapable or unwilling to change.
In order to do this Michael establishes a mercenary organization know as The Legion, which consisted of himself, known as Prime, and his various clones he replicated. Taking on various jobs against the corrupt to fund his goals, while using the contacts gained to pursue heroes and villains that he believes need to be eliminated. He also spends his time training and performing professionally as a mixed martial artist, in the UFC. With his experience, and notable advantage produced with his powers, Michael makes a name for himself in the welterweight division, becoming a top contender for the belt. He uses this influence to mask his vigilante activities and to find employment opportunities for The Legion.
