 Steve Austin (fictional character) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Austin (played by Lee Majors) was a fictional astronaut turned cyborg agent working for a secret U.S. spy agency called the OSI on the 1970s television show The Six Million Dollar Man.
Austin becomes a top agent for the OSI, travelling the world to fight everything from terrorism (the most common target of the literary version of the character) to alien invasion (in the TV version).
Yet in the TV pilot, Austin is initially hesitant to work for the OSI because, he says, "I don't want to kill people", although he appears to do just that in the subsequent mission.

Peter Mathiessen's 1965 novel about modern-day Evangelicals converting the fictional Niaruna Indians in Amazonia may be a compelling read, but this film adaptation of his novel, undoubtedly faithful to the letter, is lackluster in almost every respect.
For example, why does Bates' character, a neurotic woman who defines her life according to her strict religious beliefs, agree to a mission in a country she instinctively finds disgusting?
Of the cast, only Quinn makes any sense out of his character, an idealistic missionary whose faith is shattered in his naive quest to enlighten the Niarunas through Christianity.

No one is going to get their character rejected for mixing up the "i before e" rule, but one should remember that spelling and grammar errors add up quickly to render a submission illegible.
Furthermore, your character submission will be taken as an example of your future work with that character -- and the Promoter simply can't afford to spend a great deal of his time correcting mistakes.
Characters should not be based around fantasy or mythical elements -- no magic, apparent superpowers, or what have you.

Craftsmanship and Character: A History of the Vinson & Elkins Law Firm of Houston, 1917-1997.
While there are a few outstanding earlier examples that are effectively derived from the biographies of lawyers,[1] this genre of scholarship has experienced some growth in recent decades.
In part, this growth has been driven by the increasingly institutional nature of the large law firm, a phenomenon that invites study for many reasons, not the least of which is that the lawyer and the firm setting continue to exert a strong influence in American fictional and dramatic culture.

I think Steve Austin could run a lot faster than that, but I can't find a speed conversion table, so I might be underestimating how fast he actually is. My recollection (and this is going back a long way, so it could easily be defective), is he could run at 60MPH.
These powers would be used by the TV version of the character, not the book.

As I said in the 'Austin Theory,' this is self-inflicted wound on the WWE and they will stop the bleeding when they're damn good and ready.

Actually, the Eugene character is a textbook example of how WWE has finally figured out how to do things right.

Instead of playing Eugene's disability for laughs, WWE have built him up as a hero who overcomes the odds in spite of his disability, and incredibly, the crowd got into him in a big way.
