PROFILE: Charles Michael Hope was born in Smithville, Mississippi and raised by his father after his mother left them. Charles was a naturally gifted athlete and active his entire life. That he could earn a free ride in university and even a possible career in sports never seemed in doubt. Charles’s father was a pragmatist, however, and a successful construction contractor. He never wanted his son to rely on an athletic scholarship alone when any minor injury could sideline Charles’s career, and the chance to hit the “Big Leagues” after university was a longshot. So he ensured Charles maintained a high GPA and helped him excel at mathematics, enough to earn him a scholarship in Engineering at the University of Alabama and a spot as Fullback for the Crimson Tide.
Charles’s hard work and relatively charmed life took a hard turn in April of 2011, when four days of extreme tornado activity savaged Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, and other nearby states. The so-called Super Outbreak killed 355 people over the course of four days, and at the height of the storm, Charles risked life and limb to reach his father when he could no longer reach him. Charles arrived in time to see an F5 Tornado wipe Smithville from the map, which then sent him and his car flying. That should have killed him, but the tornado became his trigger event. Charles ended up miles from home, his car totaled while he remained relatively unscathed beneath a glowing forcefield and regenerative powers. He made his way back slowly across the damaged landscape, helping people when he could and saving several lives along the way. He also picked up a local camera crew who documented his walk and later turned it into a documentary called “The Grim Mile.”
Smithville was gone, and Charles’s father was among the victims, but the young man’s powers and instant celebrity status changed his life. He made televised appearances and did the talk-show circuit, helping Smithville rebuild with the money he earned. He never hesitated to jump into a various situations to help people, and always managed to avoid being ‘yesterday’s news.’ He was picked up by the Superior Talent Agency and achieved the dream so many metas struggled to make reality… using their powers to fight crime, waiting for the limelight and translating it into endorsement deals and a career in entertainment. What made Charles, or Grimsta as he came to be called, so successful was that he was an earnest young man and everything he did was because he genuinely liked helping people.
Grimsta is rarely a superhero these days. His focus is on acting and producing, though his father’s influence remains a strong guiding factor. He regretted never finishing his education, and is considering going back into engineering. And he wonders if he shouldn’t be fighting the good fight as a costumed hero, but for the moment, there always seems to be meetings, appearances, and work that gets in the way.
