Description
People were beginning to wonder why Professor Roland Heiney wasn’t aging further than the seventy-ish he appeared to be despite being a man of ninety-five. At any rate, the reason was soon realized, that beneath the elderly façade, he had become something else, something new.
Drakken forced himself to ignore the pain, clutching a broken right arm and half blind from the blood pouring into his eyes. Warring away the dizzying effects of a concussion, he grit his teeth as thick vines exploded from his back, rending his shirt into tatters as they grew at a fever pitch to encircle and protect the children beside him.
Shaken and pale from a dusting of pulverized cinder and drywall, but otherwise miraculously unharmed, Roland stood from the rubble to assess the situation. He noticed right away that in taking the brunt of the explosive force, Drakken’s well-being had been severely compromised. Even with his healing factor, it would sap an hour he didn’t have and a considerable chunk of his already waning strength to recover from his wounds, the worst of which being his broken arm. However, the Doctor’s efforts were not done in vain, for Dante and Harley had only suffered minor injuries.
It was in that moment that Roland realized that it was up to him, that the time to reveal his little secret had come. He’d be damned if he stood idly by to put the precious lives of his loved ones at risk. The latent power coursing through his body awakened, forcing a rising sea of dark matter to swell from the pores of his skin. It flooded over him from the neck down, coating his lower extremities in a dull metal plating the color of gunmetal. From his left forearm a beam of energy that resembled a lightsaber, flashed to life. It glowed white hot and hummed with energy that crackled and snapped with the harsh and raucous sound of lightning.
Through the dark haze of smoke, their assailant hovered and smiled wickedly as he raised his gauntleted arm and fired the miniaturized plasma howitzer mounted to it.
Greatly weakened by his numerous injuries, Drakken failed to form his shield of vines quickly enough and he nearly blacked out before he and Dante, who lay sprawled next to him, were both snapped back into alertness by Harley’s scream.
“NEIN!!!” Roland cried.
(German/English Translation: “NO!”)
Everyone froze, completely silent, and staring in open-mouthed shock as they observed the Professor’s transformation. With breakneck speed, the old man moved, bracing himself as he raised his right arm up over his head. It swelled, shredding his lab coat sleeve as it morphed into an enormous heavily plated shield that buzzed with an invisible force as it deflected the searing beam, the brunt of which pushed him back several feet, yet he remained standing.
“Good heavens, Professor,” crooned a distinctly sinister voice. “…So, it appears you’re not nearly as useless as you seem...Not bad, for an antediluvian of your caliber.”
“FICK DICH!!” the Professor shouted, glowing lines racing over his scalp to meet his brows, making his blue eyes flash dangerously bright. “ESS DREK UND SHTARBN!!”
(German/English Translation: “FUCK YOU!” followed by Yiddish/English Translation: “EAT SHIT AND DIE!”)
The armored seditionist broke into a quavering bout of raspy laughter, “My…such a potty mouth… Is that the same mouth you kiss your grandchildren with?”
“Oysshteler, Lign in dred un bakn beygl!!!!”
(Yiddish/English translation: “Oysshteler” = A braggart, egotist, show-off or showboat, followed by “May you lie in the ground and bake bagels!” To explain, this curse means that you should burn in hell for all eternity and bake bagels that you may never eat.)
----------
This bit of story takes place in that last part of the trilogy I intend to turn "Integration" into. The mysterious fellow who is attacking Drakken and his family is the big baddie, who shall not be named because it's a secret, and he has a grudge against everyone, but he's starting with Drakken and working his way up or down his shit list, whichever way you want to look at it.
I always had plans like this for Professor Heiney, but was stuck on whether or not I wanted him to make himself into a cyborg or something. As an inventor and slightly mad man of science, it had to be something through his love of technology that he institutes his own super power / immortality. There just had to be a smoking gun, something to push him to finally use it other than prolonging his life and doing away with all the frailties of getting old... He's not a violent man by nature and only uses such means when he has no other recourse... So, I figured he uses nanotechnology to morph his body in limitless ways much like the cartoon superhero "Generator Rex".
If you're wondering who Dante and Harley are, please refer to this picture and search the author's comments section for a more in depth answer:
Harley's the daughter of Drakken's cousin Motor Ed. Shego and Drakken legally adopted her at a young age and due to the combined efforts of himself, his wife, and mother 'Mama Lipsky', he considers Harley his daughter. She even calls Shego and Drakken, "Mom and Dad". 
The Professor has been a close friend/house mate of Shego and Drakken for a very long time, since right after Drakken got his hypo-pollinator-mutagen super powers during the Lordwardian invasion of the world at the end of the Kim Possible series. Drakken looks up to and considers the Professor an unofficial father figure and of course, the Professor (never married or had children) considers Drakken a son, so the baddie's teasing reference to the Professor's grandchildren is pretty much true because Drakken's kids all call the Professor "Grandpa!, "Grampa!" or the German term for grandfather, "OPA!"
and yes.. I threw in a little easter egg nugget of awesome using the lightsaber reference... OH, and as for the Professor, when flustered or particularly pissed, he slips into his native languages, a combination of German and Yiddish because of his German/Jewish background.
P.S. - I feel rather accomplished today because I wrote and drew all of this today on the fly. ^_-

I've always been a fan of the unassuming elderly person being full of surprises that no one expects.

LIGHT SABERS FOR THE WIN!!!!!! though I am curious, what is the professor? like is he a mutant or did he do some experiments on himself?

just google "Generator Rex Weapon" and you'll see a lot of stuff Rex can transform into and that's the same concept I'm interested in for the Professor.

Also, a side note, the Professor's nanites can't infect other things/people because they are not built or programmed to work for anyone but him. The nanites are not entirely self-aware/sentient, but they contain enough artificial intelligence to respond on a neurosynapic computing level, which is why they're so adaptable. The way the nanites and the Professor function for the benefit of each other, it almost like a symbiotic relationship. They perceive Professor's mind and store it all unto themselves, which technically means that the Professor's mind/memories/etc cannot be destroyed either. You could cut his head off and destroy per se, his "brain", but the nanites have digitially stored that so all of that can be reformed and restored, like rebooting a computer.

It's technically impossible or difficult as hell to kill/destroy a person/thing full of nanites because they naturally replicate and reform whichever shape/host they last remembered being. SO, even if the Professor were somehow decapitated or lost a limb that for whatever reason could not be reattached, he could just rebuild himself. To the naked eye, it would look like he's reforming out of nothing, but those microscopic little helpers do all the work.
In a nutshell, he's become techno-organic, which is something that I was also inspired by the Transformers series of Beast Wars, Beast Machines, etc.

that... is... so... freaking... AWESOME!

nothing quite as shocking and in-your-face to a baddie than realizing a seemingly weak and decrepit old man possesses the potential of becoming a living breathing tank of destruction. Being elderly has its perks in fooling a lot of people so it's easy to pass under the radar if you're not looking close enough. Just goes to show. NEVER judge a book by its cover.

He invented his own version of these funny little critters known as nanorobotics or 'nanites'. They’re microscopic sized machines that are self-replicating and self-healing. They’re programmed to respond to the needs of their host, to heal any wound, sickness, or disease, and grow in excess to form any shape the mind can imagine as needed. In the Professor's situation, he programmed to maintain his facade of an old man, but beneath the surface he does not suffer the typical limitations/wearing/frailties you'd expect an elderly person to have. He could look younger if he wanted, but he'd rather not because he comfortable with how appears in addition to the fact that everyone identifies him as the "Old Man Professor" because what's not to love about an old man who kicks ass? Those nanities, the lovely little things, are adaptive and incredibly deadly if wielded in the wrong hands, which is why it has been such a secret that even the Professor's surrogate son, Dr. Drakken, was unaware of it till just now as you see in this illustration.
For references to the use of nanites in various science-fiction situations, you need only refer to such things as Kim Possible’s nanite battle suit or such characters as Generator Rex , a character that I pretty much drew my inspiration from in creating the Professor's super power.
If you have any other questions, ask away. I'm eager to share because I over-explain ALL THE THINGS with much joy and a tub full of good things!!
