Explanation of the conversion: I wrote Masaki as an exceptional human with the ability to transform into his combat form for five minutes once a day. The combat form is activated when he turns on his Force Field, which has a five minute Charge. This sets off all his other Linked 5 minute Charge powers. He can only access his Ranged Killing Attack when in combat form. If used in a general superheroic setting his Mind Control powers will not come up often because only genetic experiments of Chronos are vulnerable to them. The Physical Limitation "Use of combat form exhausts him" means when the Charge is up it leaves him with no Stun or Endurance, no matter whether he had any left when the Charge finished.
History: Masaki Murakami was a reporter who got too close to the truth when investigating some monster sightings. The monsters were genetic experiments of the Chronos Corporation. He was captured by them and set to be killed.
Not being the type to waste, Chronos decided to use Masaki as an experimental body in perfecting process of creating Zoalords. Although Zoalords are the most powerful creation of Chronos, Masaki was merely granted a pale reflection of their powers, and was designed to die within a week of the experiment. What Chronos didn't know is that one of their scientists would try to rebel against them and use a number of experimentals as his troops. Masaki was one of those experimentals. The scientist did his best to alter the experimental bodies to enhance their shortened lives. Sadly the rebellion was crushed and all the experimentals were killed, except for Masaki, who escaped.
Masaki then returned to his life as a reporter, but this time with a purpose, to expose and destroy Chronos. He traveled to Japan and joined up with Guyver I and Guyver III in trying to take out Chronos.
Powers: Masaki is a human with exceptional physical stats, some skills and one secret up his sleeve. He can transform into a more powerful combat form once a day for 5 minutes. In this form he has great energy projection powers. In either form he can exert mental control over Zoanoids in his line of sight. Because he was only a prototype for a Zoalord, and not a full one, the use of his combat form leaves him completely exhausted.
