Explanation of the conversion:
History: After the Beyonder died the heroes and villains he had brought to Battleworld were stranded there. A few years later Thor and the Enchantress had a son, and named him Balder Blake. The Enchantress eventually left Thor for Doctor Doom, fathering him a son named Vincent. Balder and Vincent grew up as rivals. Their mother taught them both Asgardian magic, but Balder wasn't as proficient in it as Vincent was. Since Balder was a full god and not half, he was physically more powerful, which Vincent resented. Balder's greatest wish was to one day lift the hammer of his father, but despite all his attempts he always failed, even on his 18th birthday. Luckily his friends, also children of heroes, consoled him.
When he learned Vincent was going to try to take over the world as the villain Malefactor, Balder joined up with his friends in forming a new Avengers group to defeat him. Lead by Crusader III, Balder joined Firefly, Torrent and Mustang.
During the battle over control of the planet the old heroes were confronted with armies of Doombots at Malefactor's control, while the new heroes took on Malefactor and his minions. Doctor Doom then returned, having faked his death and took Malefactor for punishment. Fighting ceased when the Hulk returned and put an end to it.
Powers: Bravado is an full blooded Asgardian god with all the benefits of that heritage. He is strong enough to lift 50 tons, is resistant to harm and disease, does not age and heals quickly. He knows a great deal of Asgardian magic from his mother.
