Additional Information

Unnamed father; Unnamed mother; Roger Boch Jr. (Son).

None

• Roger bochs is also an amputee, with both legs having been removed at the knee.

Engineering: Roger Bochs went to college for Engineering and used that considerable talent to start his own firm and build the Box robot. He has Remarkable Reason when trying to build or design something, furthermore if he is using a talent like Electronics his Reason is Incredible in that field or Amazing when attempting to repair or tinker with technology when using Repair/Tinker.

Electronics: Roger Bochs has Remarkble Reason in the field of electronics, their design, building of, and application.

Repair/Tinker: Remarkable Reason when attemping to repair or tinker with an object, Amazing when doing that with something he built that is electronically based.

Bochs had his legs amputated below the knee

Roger Bochs was a kind and gentle soul, he wanted to be free of the prison that was his wheelchair and invented the box armor as a way to escape from a life he had seen fall apart (whether it was the loss of his legs, his divorce or jealousy where the affections of a woman were concerned) due to circumstances.

• Roger physically merges with the Box armor. Remaining too long in this symbiotic state can effect his abiltiy to separate. Psyche FEAT every hour after the first three to avoid this effect.

• Handicap Van: Roger Bochs has lost both legs above the knee and is normally confined to a motorized, three-wheeled wheelchair of his own design (Feeble Speed, Typical Body, Excellent Control). His company van (Bochs Electronics) is also a portable lab and modified to allow him both access into and the ability to drive the vehicle.
• Box Armor: The Box Armor is a powered exoskeleton of Roger Boch's and Madison Jeffries' design, the exoskeleton was 7'0 tall, 475 pounds and when Roger Bochs merges with the armor he can feel what it feels when it takes damage.
  • Body Resistance: The Box armor provides Amazing protection from physical and energy attacks. The armor is vulnerable to corrosives and recieves -1CS in resistance.
  • Electrical Discharge: Once every other round Box can discharge a massic blast of electricity from his enternal batteries, he inflicts amazing damage over a 2 area range.
  • Energy Generation: The Box armor could generate an energy of unknown origin at Amazing ability over a 3 area range.
  • Resistances: The enclosed system also provides Monstrous protection from Heat, Cold, Fire, Radiation and air born toxins.
  • Flight: The Box armor is equipped with jet thrusters that are capable of attaining Unearthly air speeds. The may also be used as weapons capable of inflicting Remarkable damge.
  • Computer Link: Whilst wearing the armor Roger is able to tap into computer and security systems with Remarkable ability.
  • Sensor System: Amazing radar and sonar systems to detect objects, radio waves, radiation and other energy sources. The armor also provides Remarkable infravision and an on board radio system with a range exceeding 200 miles. The radio is also capable of "jamming" other communication systems within range. Roger can pick up the Alpha Flight signal trasnmission in the armor Signal Implant: Consider the signal to be a Remarkable scrambled signal with a 3000 mile range that leads the members of Alpha Flight to wherever they need to be.

  When not wearing the armor Roger has the following abilities: 

Alpha Flight; Bochs Electronics.

Roger Bochs was unable to walk, having had both his legs amputated below the knee. While trying do deal with his resulting psychological issues, he was checked into a clinic. Once there, he quickly befriended another patient, Madison Jeffries. Bochs was a genius inventor and developed a robot he nicknamed Box (a play on his own last name) that could act for him. He joined the Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight's training group Beta Flight. Bochs was then recruited by the android Delphine Courtney to be part of the villainous team Omega Flight, who were organized by Jerome Jaxon to defeat Alpha Flight and its leader James Hudson. However, Bochs remained loyal to Hudson and joined Omega Flight merely to infiltrate it. Jerome Jaxon was suspicious and stole Boch's control helmet. Jaxon fought Guardian using the Box robot, but was killed by feedback.

Still angry at Jaxon, and wanting to help Alpha Flight, what with Guardian being feared lost, Bochs had Madison Jeffries assist him on a new Box model that the operator would 'phase' into rather than using a control helmet. It seems a compatible person could stay merged with the robot indefinitely. In fact, it became difficult for the operator to leave after several hours inside it. Bochs then joined Alpha Flight. Bochs later allowed Shaman to place Walter Langowski's spirit into the robot temporarily. Later, Bochs was briefly confined to the robot after suffering from 'the bends. Bochs sought help from Madison's brother; Lionel was gifted with the mutant ability to affect organic material in the same way as Madison could metal. Lionel gave Bochs a younger body and restored his legs in order for Bochs to appear more attractive to his flirtatious teammate Aurora. However, the insane Lionel used decaying organic material to do so, and it soon decomposed. Bochs became insanely jealous of Aurora's "wandering eye" and attacked her. Madison was able to stop Bochs by trapping him in the Box robot.

Alpha Flight took Bochs to Lionel to see if he could cure Bochs of his seeming insanity. Scramble and Bochs merged themselves into a being called Omega, which they were able to create with their combined intellect and power. Bochs apparently awoke from his psychosis when Madison Jeffries confronted the two using Box. Persuasion was able to separate the two. However, Scramble lobotomized Bochs in order to stay as Omega. Omega was destroyed by Box (Madison Jeffries) who took over the Box robot, killing both Bochs and Lionel.
