Vincent "Vinny" Vinicius, also known as Vine-Man, is an Italian-American ex-soldier that was given vine powers after an explosion in the line of duty.
History
Vinicius served in the Italian army. At an unknown date, he was hit by a bomb that had been wiped with a radioactive sponge, causing strange vines to grow out of his body. He was discharged from service and moved to New York soon after.
The vines began to grant him various abilities, such as manipulating his own mass, allowing him to grow in size and strength, firing vines from his body and animating vines from other sources. He is also able to produce a sauce like substance from his body that he calls "vine-sauce." Vine-sauce allows him to create inebriating substances, such as alcohol, that can be used for various effects. The sauce is also an addictive drug, causing him to be an alcoholic.
He mostly uses his powers as a way of making easy money, selling the alcohol and vine-sauce for a cheap price to bars and markets.
He currently lives in a small house in the suburbs of Staten Island, working as a bartender. He claims to be "married" to his pet parrot named Pickles. He is friends with someone named Jacob Frye.
