Forge

Malcolm
About 6'6" tall and looking to be about 175 pounds, this is one rakishly good looking black guy. His hair is cropped short, fading still shorter as it nears his ears, while his eyebrows are strikingly thick without being embarassing or distracting, and he even has a short, neatly trimmed Van Dyke encircling his mouth. Of course, his most striking features are his steely gray eyes.

Below the very handsome face, he's made of a whole lot of muscle. Much of the time he wears a gray or black shirt that showcases his impressively muscular build. Still further down, he wears comfortable blue jeans of a generic, workman's style. As for his feet, they're typically clad in leather work boots.

Functional, inexplicably stylish, and quite comfortable to be sure, but it also doesn't give much hint to who he is or what he does.

Forge
Statuesque at 6'6" tall with a well-defined, muscular build, Forge looks almost like he could be a sculpture in an office building's lobby. From head to toe, Forge is completely encased in a thick layer of gleaming metal that conforms to his body like a second skin. Inexplicably his metal "flesh" is perfectly smooth and completely seamless, almost giving one the impression that he was cast from a block of steel.

Appearing as a man cast from metal does have a couple of odd benefits. Most notably, although the metal shows off his muscular physique, it does so in broad strokes. Secondarily, it also gives him a somewhat surreal, old CGI look. It's more like he's the thought of a man, rather than a man himself.
