Captain Miracle: Golden Champion
Name: Matthias Strider
Alias: Captain Miracle
Gender: Male
Orientation: Undetermined
Species: Arctic Fox
Height: 5'7"
Age: 56
Voice: Midwestern American.
Abilities: Captain Miracle can generate and control pulse waves in the shape of blue energy rings, a heightened sense of logic that makes his plans seem to work despite them being odd more than half the time, and a boost to his strength and powers depending on belief and confidence in him.
Weaknesses: If belief in him falters for any reason, it can end up weakening his natural attributes and powers instead of bolstering them. He is also prone to believing in the best of everyone, even the villains he fights.
Personality: He is a loud and proud individual who loves to ham it up in the ways only dads can, though he remains compassionate and sincere despite that. As Captain Miracle, he is the archetypal True Hero, symbol of hope, friend of the children, champion of the innocent, and all of that stuff. This is largely derived from him being a Golden Age style superhero.
Background: Matthias Strider had quite the interesting teenage life from the moment he discovered a gemstone in a cave while out on a spelunking trip with his family. The gem was so entrancing in it's beauty that he found himself picking it up, only for it to glow mysteriously before exploding. Surprisingly, he was unaffected by the shards, which seemed to dissipate before even hitting his body. He thought nothing of it beyond it being luck, though he was disappointed he wouldn't be able to bring the beautiful gem to his family.
Little did he know that the shards had actually melted against his body and merged into it. A fact he would discover later after he hit adulthood, in which powers begun to manifest. He was able to fire out waves of pulse energy with certain motions, and found himself often formulating what others would call silly or stupid plans that somehow ended up working despite the odds. This would only be further expanded as he found his physical strength increased beyond normal standards if someone showed belief in him. Though it does seem to lock him into a permanent white fur coat, but he doesn't mind all too much.
With these revelations, he decided to become a superhero, creating the name and costume of Captain Miracle, golden champion of the city he called home. He gave some manner of respect to the gem that gave him these powers by including a replica in his costume design. And so, this Golden Age hero flourished and would meet his rival/nemesis, the two combating each other over the ages and continuing their battle into present day, even as they both have grown old enough to be fathers.
And it is this fact that Matthias has chosen to go to the foster care system, as he has little hope for meeting the love of his life with how old he started getting, and so he took in a foster son in Jayden Merrick, who he particularly dotes on and frequently embarrasses with the way he acts as the foster father to the red fox. He is aware of Jayden's boyfriend being a superhero as well, Captain Miracle often teaming up with the hero called Psionix.
And yes, he thinks the beard looks cool.
Captain Miracle, a fun idea I had after bemusing over Jayden having a beard, but ultimately deciding against it. Then I had the odd idea of SLaveDog554's Streak II with a beard, which is how Captain Miracle came about!

Ahhh... Hot Daddy. I'm curious to see who his rival is... especially since said rival is said to be old enough to be a father himself... but then again, that doesn't mean he actually is a father.
Also, you mentioned, "Though it does seem to lock him into a permanent white fur coat, but he doesn't mind all too much." But as an Arctic Fox, isn't his fur always white? Unless I'm wrong, but I thought that was the case with Arctic foxes? Plus, his beard is black, so how would he be able to grow it that way if his powers made his fur white?
But anyway, I love Matthias' personality, and his powers do sound interesting. Plus I love how he works with his son's boyfriend. So fun! x3

Hot daddy is the idea, yes. And that villain will come later on, to be sure, just gotta work things out.
"Arctic foxes change the color of their fur with the seasons. In winter they are white to blend in with the snow, while in the summer they change to brown or gray." And it affected his fur, but not his 'hair', as it were. Two different things, the gem's effects only hit his fur, but he didn't have any facial or regular hair at the time, so it was unaffected.
Glad you like him and that stuff! x3

Hope it'll be soon!
You're quite welcome!
You're quite welcome!
Yes, I am aware, heh. A result of using fur beauty products, heh.
Maybe. That's an interesting aspect I'll have to consider.
with an outfit like that, I don't think anyone would want to fight him, but hug him and he does a lot of pleasurable things
Eh, villains will be villains. But he doesn't do pleasurable things, if you mean what I think you mean.
Oh what a pity...
I thought he was very sexy in this outfit so I thought about it

Part of why his sexuality is listed as undetermined.
That's understandable, but at least you find him good-looking enough, heh.

So the way his power boost works is that for every person who believes in him his powers will increase?
It's not a per person thing, it's a general boost.
