107 (Earth-616) VS Aaron Verne (Earth-616)
107 (Earth-616)
107 was one of over a hundred runaways abducted by the Adrenamix Corporation (a subsidiary of the Gaulthing Corporation). Adrenamix subjected their prisoners to psionic experiments, which led to a wide variety of superhuman powers. 107 developed prodigious size and strength. President and CEO Anderson Gaulthing referred to this batch of test subjects as the "Psigns of the Times". One of the Psigns was his own daughter, Alison Gaulthing. Alison attempted to escape from the Adrenamix facility and the Psigns were sent to retrieve her. They chased her across a rooftop near Yancy Street, but Alison died while trying to evade capture. 107 and the others began to fear that they would be blamed for her death. Investigating the Adrenamix activities was the New Warrior known as Justice. Justice fought against the Psigns and 107 attempted to take him down by ramming him, but Justice easily deflected the attack. The Psigns all had tubes running into the back of their heads, as well as packs and tubes running into their arms, indicating that they were receiving some sort of chemical or energy feed. Their abilities are apparently psionic in origin, though exactly how that works is unclear. 107 is the big, strong guy, and it's unclear just how strong he is. He could crush a wall by running into it, and seemingly shatter any machinery with a single punch. Class 10-25, perhaps.

Aaron Verne (Earth-616)
A bank teller fascinated by geometry, Aaron Verne spent his life fascinated by the study of shapes but lacked the money to attend college. Working various small jobs, he eventually ended up as a bank teller. This job didn't last long as he was fired for daydreaming. Going home after his release, he began daydreaming about geometry once again, only this time, the shapes he imagined became real.[1] Returning to the bank he was formerly employed at, he broke through a wall using a cylindrical battering ram, then herded the patrons and employees into a corner of the room and constructed a prison using his geometry powers. Unknown to him, Donald Blake was among the prisoners. Sneaking into a back room, Blake transformed into Thor, and as Verne left the bank, he confronted the man. Calling himself Locus he struck out at Thor. As the battle increased, Locus managed to encase Thor's hammer in an energy construct, keeping it from Thor almost long enough to force Thor's reversion to Blake. After Thor reacquired his hammer, Locus abducted a woman, putting her inside of a sphere, threatening to drop her if Thor didn't set down his hammer. Locus then created a platform beneath the hammer to bring it to him. As he grasped it, and let the platform fade, it took him by surprise, dragging him to the pavement below. As Thor went to save the girl Locus hit the pavement. After flying away, Thor briefly returned as Donald Blake to check on Locus. An ambulance arrived, which took Locus away.
