Brahma

REAL NAME: Jeff Kessler
HEIGHT: 7′ 3″
WEIGHT: 950 lbs.
GROUP AFFILIATION: Youngblood
The product of triplet cells that never separated. Brahma is the world’s only living example of human being literally constructed in triplicate. In addition to being three times the size of a normal human, Brahma is a virtual juggernaut, possessing so much strength and stamina as to make him practically unstoppable.

## THE CHARACTER OVERVIEW

Brahma is a massive, blue-skinned powerhouse and a foundational member of the Youngblood program’s domestic division. Standing as a literal mountain of muscle, he serves as the team’s primary “Tank.” Unlike some of his more hot-headed teammates, Brahma is often portrayed as the stoic, calm center of the storm—until the safety of the public is threatened. When “The Brahma” is unleashed, he possesses a level of physical power that can halt a moving train or withstand a direct hit from a cruise missile.

## COLLECTOR’S CARD: “POWER STATS”

NAME: BRAHMA

LEVEL: CLASS 100 STRENGTH / INVULNERABLE

POWERS: Limitless superhuman strength; near-total invulnerability to physical harm and energy blasts; superhuman stamina.

PHYSIOLOGY: Distinctive cobalt-blue skin and hyper-dense muscle tissue.

THE HOOK: Brahma is the “Insurance Policy.” In any Youngblood operation, he is the one who ensures the collateral damage is minimized by taking the biggest hits himself.

## INVESTOR PITCH: THE “STRENGTH IN STABILITY” STRATEGY

1. The “Big Blue” Marketable Aesthetic:

Characters with unique skin tones (e.g., Beast, The Hulk, Hellboy) have a proven track record of becoming fan favorites. Brahma’s deep blue complexion combined with his white-and-gold Youngblood uniform creates a high-contrast visual that is perfect for Action Figures and Statues. He provides the “Scale” needed for any toy line’s “Deluxe” tier.

2. The “Bodyguard” Demographic:

Brahma appeals to the “Protector” archetype. In a team full of egos and celebrity seekers, Brahma is the one who does the job without needing the spotlight. This makes him a relatable and sympathetic character for long-form storytelling, providing the “Emotional Anchor” for a Youngblood streaming series.

3. Synergy with Badrock:

Brahma and Badrock provide a “Powerhouse Duo” that is unique in comics. Having two distinct types of “strongmen” (one organic rock, one blue-skinned titan) allows for “Double-Tank” action sequences that are a VFX dream for cinema and a gameplay mechanic goldmine for team-based brawlers.

## SYNOPSIS FOR THE DIRECT MARKET (REBOOT POTENTIAL)

“Brahma has always been the wall that doesn’t break. As the powerhouse of the Youngblood Home Team, he’s seen the worst the world has to throw at him and walked away without a scratch. But when a new threat emerges that can bypass his invulnerability, the world’s most durable hero finds himself vulnerable for the first time. To save his team, Brahma must discover if he is defined by the strength of his skin or the strength of his will. The mountain is about to move.”

## THE “KAYFABE” ANALYSIS: THE GEOMETRY OF POWER

From a Cartoonist Kayfabe perspective, Brahma is a study in Liefeldian Mass. He is designed to occupy the maximum amount of space in a panel, often pushing the boundaries of the frame. His design utilizes “negative space” through his white costume to emphasize the sheer volume of his blue-skinned torso. He is the ultimate “Splash Page” character—designed specifically to give the reader a sense of awe and overwhelming power.

## LICENSING CATEGORIES
