Aksel Hennie (born 29 October 1975) is a Norwegian actor, director and writer. He has acted in a number of successful Norwegian movies, and has received several awards. Hennie grew up in Lambertseter in Oslo. In his late teens he was sentenced for graffiti, and became an outcast in the community for confessing to the police. This personal story contributed much of the background for the movie Uno. The conviction against Hennie was in fact one of the first such cases in Norway. Hennie was admitted to the Norwegian National Academy of Theatre after applying four times. He graduated in 2001, and has since acted both at Teatret Vårt in Molde (2001–2002) and at Oslo Nye Teater (2002–), where he has been in plays such as Hamlet, and Kvinnen som giftet seg med en kalkun (English: The woman who married a turkey). His main success, however, has been as a film actor. He made his debut starring in the feature film Jonny Vang in 2003. Though the director, Jens Lien, originally thought Hennie was too young for the role, the actor convinced him he was the right man for the film. The same year he also acted in the movies Buddy and Ulvesommer, and the next year he made his debut as a director and writer with the movie Uno, in which he also acted. For this film Hennie, and his co-star Nicolai Cleve Broch, went into hard physical training for six months to perform convincingly as bodybuilders. He won the Amanda Award – the main Norwegian film award – for "Best Direction" for the movie Uno in 2005, and that same year he was also among the nominees for "Best Actor" and "Best Film". He also won an Amanda award as "Best Actor" for the movie Jonny Vang in 2003. He was named one of European films "Shooting Stars" by European Film Promotion in 2004. In 2001 he was also named "Theatre talent of the year" by the newspaper Dagbladet. In 2008 Hennie starred in the movie Max Manus, where he played the role of the Norwegian war hero by that name. The movie had a large budget by Norwegian standards, and was met with great expectations. His next upcoming international film is Age of Heroes, a world war 2 movie primarily shot in Norway starring Sean Bean and Danny Dyer.

Little is known about Antonio Rodriguez. He has a criminal record and his wife's name is Maria. Place of birth: San Antonio, Texas. + spoiler + His wife fell ill with an unknown type of illness. Rodriguez took her to various doctors, but none of them could determine the nature of her illness, let alone help her. In desperation, he contacted the scientist, Dr. Karel Malus, a scientist who had been prosecuted for his experiments. Malus accomplished various things, including making substances that gave ordinary mortals superhuman abilities. The scientist agreed to treat his wife, and in return Rodriguez became his experimental subject. Rodriguez underwent an experimental process in which genetic material from an armadillo was introduced into his body. The process caused a drastic increase in Rodriguez's strength, his skin transformed into solid organic steel, and thick hard claws grew on his hands. Malus ordered Armadillo to break into the West Coast Avengers headquarters and steal the body of Goliath, who was being held there and his body was in a coma. But Armadillo found himself in a fight with Captain America. Although Armadillo was physically superior to him, the Captain defeated him. It turned out that everything Rodriguez did was at the discretion of his ailing wife, and Captain America did not extradite him to the authorities.
