Powers/Tactics: When in his werewolf form, Howard had enhanced speed, strength and stamina far superior to a normal human being. His claws were razor sharp and could tear through 2x4 planks like tissue paper. His enhanced senses made him an excellent predator. When fighting, he would allow himself to go to the brink of letting the animal out, just keeping it enough in check to keep him from killing anyone. To this end, he developed a berserker fighting style that he can still duplicate today, though with far less power behind it.

Appearance: In his completely human form, Howard used to stand at 5'8" tall and weighted a "pleasantly plump" 210 pounds. After several months as a werewolf, however, he trimmed down and replaced the fat with muscle tone. While in his werewolf form, he inexplicably gained 8" in height and 80 pounds in mass. Now, in his wolf-man form, Howard has split the difference and stands 6'2" tall and weighs in at 240. His heightened metabolism manages to keep him in decent shape in spite of his fast food habits. His brown hair color has followed him in all of his forms with his brown eyes darkening in color when any evidence of wolf is involved. The fact that no gray is visible in his hair makes him look younger than he is (in late 30's). He often wears shorts, T-shirts and flip-flops for comfort around home and office (his claws aren't as sharp as they used to be, but they still do a number on fabric if he's not careful), but has been known to dress formally when the need arises (and then gets back into comfy clothes again as soon as possible).
