Bamboo(The Second Multiverse: The Brightearth Sector)

Milan is a city built to survive the impossible. On a planet 2000x the size of Earth, where the horizon towers over the skyline and 60x gravity turns a breeze into a wrecking ball, you either have weight or you get swept away. Alex Gornen has spent twenty-four years learning how to be heavy. An orphan who had to grow up a decade too fast, he hides his 31-year-old grit behind a shy exterior and a love for old-world superhero tropes. But when the atmospheric pressure spikes and the city starts to buckle, Alex becomes the only thing in Milan that can move with purpose. While the "celebrity" heroes from the Second Multiverse struggle to stay grounded, Alex dons the Bamboo suit. Made of segmented, reinforced cellulose plates, the suit allows him to weaponize the planet's crushing physics. He doesn't just withstand the 60x storms; he walks through them. When a new breed of villains threatens to tear down the Piazza del Duomo, Alex has to stop being a spectator. He is the "Steel-Flex" force of nature—a hero who hits with the mass of a skyscraper and the speed of a landslide. He isn’t just an anchor; he’s a relentless, immovable object in motion. Note: Please keep in mind this is a slow burn, so the new breed of villains may not appear right away, but they will in time. And he takes the suit off, but before you freak out, my readers, he is wearing thin but modest under-armour underneath, and underwear underneath that. I originally thought my previous 9 protagonists made it self explanatory that he was not in boxers or naked, but now I realize that there could be some misinterpretations, so this is a helpful clarification for those who might be new to the Second Multiverse.
