"...oh, shit."
Andrew Jackson Powers was born to Jonathan Powers Sr. and Senator Cynthia Powers in Manhattan, New York. Shortly after Drew was born, his brother Jonathan Powers Jr. came into the world, and it was clear at a young age that Drew wasn't exactly the child his parents wanted. This was more evident as he grew up - his younger brother was given everything in life: support, love, even more allowance. Drew had to work for everything, and was still given nothing. Being the son of a real estate tycoon and a New York Senator, Drew was expected to do certain things. He was expected to go into the careers his parents had, and he was expected to become a rich and powerful human being.
Neither of these things happened. In fact, Drew fell in love with computers at a young age, and took a liking to doing that. No trips to the gun club with his father would ever get Drew to become a bleeding heart, though Drew did learn how to make weapons because of it. No, Drew was a genius who preferred technology to people, because technology would never let you down, and technology never chose it's younger son over you. Mostly because technology was not a human, but that was neither here nor there. As far as the Powers were concerned, their son was a monster, not living up to their expectations. So what happened next? The day Drew graduated high school, his parents disowned him. They gave him access to his larger than life trust fund, so that people wouldn't think that they just let their poor son out into the world on his own, and shut the door in his face. As Drew left for college, he could see his brother mocking him from his old bedroom window. Drew flipped off Jon, and it was the last time he saw his parents or his brother. Drew's collegiate career wasn't anything to write home about, but he did have a decent time. He graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology in with a degree in Bachelors of Science in Game Design & Development in 1999, and soon landed a job in New York working for Rockstar Games' NYC branch in that same year. He was there for a few years until deciding he wanted to try to land a job somewhere a little far away from New York (though not much, cause you know, commitment issues, etc), and ended up getting a Game Programmer position at Irrational Games in 2005. He started in the company on the first Bioshock game, and Drew stayed with Irrational through the release of Bioshock Infinite and through ending of the company in 2014. Through his mainstay in Boston, Drew learned a lot about himself. Most importantly, he learned he was too quick to push people away, but it was a habit that he never really unlearned. He was selfish because of his family, and in the small moments where Drew let his guard down enough, he almost always got burned. Because of that, Drew had very little relationships, which ended up working out for him in the long run. Drew quickly realized that people view him as the comedic relief and do not take him terribly seriously, and because of that, he has very few close friends he thinks he can depend on. Even so, he hides any pain or troubles he is feeling and going through, as he never wants to bother people. He tries his best not to get frustrated, but deep down all Drew wants is to be accepted. He wants people to like him, even when he hates himself (especially when he hates himself), and because of this he will do anything to make people be happy. This sometimes makes him seem to be a bit different when it comes to those he is around. He's also loyal to friends, and when they are hurt by someone, he is quick to defend them - because of this, Drew is not too fond of some of his friend's exes, even if it ended on good terms. This is mostly because Drew can't keep himself together long enough to make his own relationships to work, and this causes a bit of jealousy that he can't explain. Not that he could explain, when he's too busy hiding all the serious things he worries about behind a screen of lame jokes and even lamer ideas. Now in 2015, Drew is trying to keep an open mind. He's not exactly happy in his life, but he's trying to be, and ultimately worries that he will be forgotten. So he's doing his best to at least leave a bit of a legacy, and with is new bar opening in the Fall, he hopes this will all work out for him in the end.  Jack Hammer first went to college with Peter Parker, but was considered a huge nerd even by his standards. It wasn't until a time traveling Deadpool (pretending to be Peter Parker) took him on a drinking binge that he really began to loosen up and...basically ruined his life, going from an A+ student to a high-tech loser. At some point he became a weapons dealer and tech-guy for Deadpool. More recently, he was seen acting as an armored security forcle in Las Vegas going by the name "The House". After battling Deadpool (and temporarily defeating him), the Merc offered to work with Weasel as his sidekick using a secondary set of armor and the name Wildcard. During a battle with Grizzly, Wildcard then made House look useless, so the next time Deadpool proposed that Weasel switch identities and take the credit for Wildcard's heroics. During a second fight with Grizzly, Weasel made Wildcard look like the hero of the fight, while Deadpool (as the House) stood by doing nothing and subsequently escaping with Grizzly and the stolen money. Now that House had become a criminal, Weasel tried to defeat Deadpool in battle, but the Merc escaped despite seemingly being killed by Weasel (still as Wildcard). When Wildcard bosses tried to find a body inside the House armor there was nothing, so Weasel couldn't clear his name and remained a fugitive, while Deadpool resumed the identity of Wildcard (although he renounced it shortly thereafter).

• Both Drew and Weasel have a high intelligence, though Drew hides it very well so that he is accepted, where Weasel is sort of obnoxious about it.
• Drew's name is a play on "power drill", where Weasel's name is literally Jack Hammer. • Drew's middle name is homage to Weasel's first name. • Both are inventors and build robots. Drew built a robot as a pet dog. • Due to the complications that personal relationships bring, both Drew and Weasel prefer technology and other 'geek things' to real human interaction. Jack Hammer/Weasel is pulled from Marvel Earth-616.
Drew can be pretty excitable about a lot of things, mostly anything video games or nerd culture.
He's embarrassed easily (especially when something that comes up that he doesn't want to talk about), he has a tendency to talk fast, change the topic, or just kinda run from the room as he doesn't want to talk about it. Fiercely loyal to his friends. He will do anything for them, and constantly puts them first over himself, as he feels as though their happiness is a lot more important than his own most of the time. He also has a bit of low self-esteem when it comes to his looks, as he does not feel he is attractive enough for a relationship or worthy of one. His father is a real estate tycoon in New York, and his mother is a New York Senator. Both of his parents wanted him to become rich and powerful just like him, but instead Drew got interested in computers and used his brain towards educating himself with that instead of going into real estate or politics. Because of this, Drew has been disowned (though he is still allowed to collect his trust fund because "Dammit, Drew, we are not animals.") Was a member of a gun club when he was younger, due to his father's insistence that his son learn how to shoot with the best and brightest (aka the children of the rich and powerful) of New York. While it's not something that Drew has kept up with, he does now and then go to the shooting range to see if he still has it. Sometimes he does. Other times he's lucky if he doesn't shoot the person next to him in the arm. Or the face. Or the butt. Technology is pretty much what he spends most of his time on. He hacks into various sites when he's bored, though he never really does anything too malicious or dangerous. Since becoming unemployed, he's been tinkering more with computers and databases, though he's managed to keep people off his tail for now. He's the glorified IT guy in his group of friends - which doesn't exactly say too much.
Drew can be viewed as paranoid at times, though this is more of his constant rambling and seemingly unsure about things. To curb his rambling, he's an avid smoker of weed, and this has pretty much made his ramblings down to a minimum.
When it comes to relationships, he's horrible at them. Mostly because he doesn't know what to say around women, and is considered to be one of the more awkward people in his group of friends. He usually ends up being the wingman or designated driver at parties, and while this bothers him, he's accepted his role as the comedic relief to his much better looking friends. Is obsessed with metal music. He used to be in a heavy metal band called "Death to Odin" because they thought they were being original with the viking reference and a reference to death in their band's name. Despite having the passion (and actually being able to growl with the best of them), Drew and the band did not succeed past their first album - the drummer ended up getting shipping off to rehab, the bassist got too annoyed with groupies not worshiping him and left, the lead guitarist got twins pregnant and had to go and leave to deal with that, and the other guitarist decided that he should go work at a year round children's camp instead. Needless to say, Drew was confused and disappointed. Drew is passionate but only about his own needs and what he wants, but not really about anything else. Some people view him as selfish, though truth be told he doesn't really care too much about anything unless it hurts (or helps) himself directly. The best way to get him to pay attention is to tell him how it benefits him in the long run (even if it's a lie, he can be gullible at times, especially if a pretty girl is talking to him). His sense of humor really varies. He does sometimes alter himself for the person he's talking to, but that's more out of wanting some adventure and excitement in his life and of being bored. Those who know him really well know he's a relatively funny dude, a little self-deprecating, but ultimately means well. Those who don't know him well might one day think he's a stuck up tool, and a hopeless romantic looking for his princess the next but ends up annoyed that the princess is always in another castle.
