Fictional Character Biography
Brion Markov is the Prince of Markovia, a small Balkan nation. He gained his superpowers through an experimental procedure conducted by Dr. Helga Jace, designed to give him the ability to defend his country. The procedure granted Brion the ability to control the earth's tectonic forces, allowing him to manipulate earth, lava, and minerals. He also possesses superhuman strength, stamina, and durability.
Upon gaining his powers, Brion adopted the superhero identity of Geo-Force, donning a costume typically consisting of a yellow and brown color scheme. He left Markovia to gain experience using his abilities and to fight for justice on a larger scale.

He can also generate a "lava form" where his body is covered in molten rock, greatly increasing his strength and durability.
