CHARACTER SOURCE: Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, the 35th season of Super Sentai
CHARACTER HISTORY: In the universe shared by the tokusatsu heroes called Kamen Riders and Super Sentai, one team of transforming heroes captured the attention of the whole world; the Pirate Squad Gokaiger. Born in the wake of the Legendary Great War, a massive battle between every Sentai past and present against the Unstoppable Armada of the Zangyack Space Empire, the Gokaiger were masterminded by the mysterious AkaRed, the living embodiment of what it means to be a Red Ranger. After the Legendary Great War the powers of the 34 previous sentai were scattered across the galaxy by their final assault against Zangyack. This repelled the evil space empire temporarily but AkaRed knew the Earth (and the Greatest Treasure in the Universe that the Sentai have always defended) would need new heroes.
To this end he formed the Red Pirates, a band of galactic treasure hunters. AkaRed and his apprentice Basco ta Jolokia were joined by a young man named Marvelous with nothing to lose who tried to steal AkaRed's treasure. Something in the young man called to AkaRed, and he invited Marvelous to join the crew instead of punishing him. The trio scoured the stars for the Ranger Keys, hundreds of technomagic figurines they contained the power of sentai warriors.
The Red Pirates collected nearly all of the Keys before tragedy struck. Basco, hungry for the treasure and jealous of Marvelous for being AkaRed's favourite, betrayed his crew to the Zangyack. AkaRed perished in the flames of the mutiny but ensured Marvelous would escape.
In normal continuity, Marvelous then began to form his own pirate crew, the Gokaiger, and used devices left to him by AkaRed to transform into powerful warriors and summon their giant robot Gokai-Oh. Eventually they came to Earth in search of the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, coincidently at the exact time Zangyack returned to trouble the good people of the planet. Caught between their hatred of the Zangyack and their desire for treasure, the Gokaiger begrudgingly became the 35th Super Sentai to defend Earth.
This is where the story diverges. Instead of unlocking the Great Powers of the Sentai and finding the treasure, The Zangyack won. When the Emperor himself came to Earth it was the end of the Gokaiger. In the final battle the heroes were scattered to the stars, along with the Ranger Keys, the source of their power. In this story, this is when Captain Marvelous finds himself pulled into the Omniverse. Without his allies GokaiRed seeks to recover the Ranger Keys (at least the red ones...) and defeat the Omniverse and it's Empire, to which he sees many parallels with the Zangyack.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Marvelous is handsome young man with dark hair and eyes. Though he looks Japanese, Marvelous is actually from an alien species that evolved parallel to Earth humans. He always wears red, usually an ornate red jacket that hangs to his boots. He holds himself with the confidence and devil may care attitude of a heroic space pirate, but moves with a flair for the dramatic that conceals his great strength. He always wears a necklace fashioned from a treasure chest lock. When transformed Marvelous can don many forms but usually looks like a flashy space pirate in red with a full face mask helmet with a black visor. He has a popped collar and the symbol of the Gokaiger (two crossed swords over a Ranger Key) on his chest.
Note: as a roleplaying weakness, when not transformed into his sentai battle form, Marvelous is at -1 STR and TEC. He must henshin to go to to toe with other Primes.
