Biography

Ordeal of Fire

Julius Nex was recently created in the Assembly Tower as one of the first two Heroes built around the new construction system. The other Hero created was Nathan Evo, and both were unveiled by Mr. Makuro during a press conference announcing the Upgrade. After showing off his skills, Nex chatted with several reporters and invited them to friend him on HeroBook.

When the Alpha 1 Team was upgraded and sent back to Tanker Station 22, Nathaniel Zib sent Nex and Evo as reinforcements for battle. Nex noticed that Breez and Furno had their weapons fused and managed to separate them. He and Evo were also able to save Nitroblast from falling off a ledge, and cuffed the villain. When the Fire Lord attempted to absorb the largest fuel deposit, Nex pitched in on the assault, until a Hero Craft rammed itself into Fire Lord, severing him of his absorption hand and giving Stormer the chance to defeat him. They all discovered that it was Surge who managed to defeat the Fire Lord, and all of the Heroes later returned to the Hero Factory to oversee Surge's upgrade. Nex was later present at a ceremony honoring Surge's bravery.

Savage Planet

Nex, along with other members of the Alpha Team, received a distress call from Aldous Witch on the jungle planet of Quatros. A report from Rookie Hero Rocka, however, indicated that the planet had become unstable and that all wildlife would attack everything in sight. In an effort to adapt to the environment, the Alpha Team was given an upgrade to new animal armor, with Nex gaining the abilities of a tiger.

Arriving on Quatros, Nex managed to get a fix on Rocka. When they located him, the Heroes discovered that Professor Witch had been turned into Witch Doctor after being exposed to the Quaza from a mysterious skull. The Heroes then came into opposition with corrupted wildlife sent by Witch Doctor and started to battle them.

Personality

Nex is described as dependable and fearless. Enthusiastic and highly skilled in the nuances of his brand new armor, Nex is a truly amazing Hero with exceptional flexibility and hyperactive senses. He likes to communicate on social websites via his ability to interface with nearly any system.

Appearance

Nex initially bore orange and white armor, while his eyes and Hero Core were colored green. His helmet was also equipped with small tools and headgear that helped him see.

In Nex’s 3.0 form, he bears orange and silver armor, and retains his green eyes and Hero Core. His helmet now resembles that of a Saber-Toothed Cat, as a sign of his new powers.

Weapons

Julius Nex originally carried a Multi-Tool Ice Shield, his of which was armed with cutting blades, pneumatic pincers, and an increase in ice power.

Nex now possesses a Double-Bladed Tiger Claw, which is attached to his forearm and allows him to slice through thick vegetation.
