Character Notes/Origin/Personality

William ('Billy' when he was younger) grew up in the rural New York area, the son of a
Methodist preacher and a local prosecuting attorney.  A somewhat clumsy youth, he (like
many other children of the time) had a strong interest in superheroes, especially as his
grandfather had been personally rescued as a youth by the heroine Storm Queen back in the
1950's.  Being raised with a strong sense of ethics and justice, but feeling that because
of his clumsiness he wasn't cut out to be a soldier or a police officer (much less a
superhero), he instead decided to become a lawyer like his mother.  This was somewhat
disappointing to his father, who had hoped that William would follow in his footsteps as a
preacher.  However, despite his general interest in theology, his actual sense of faith is
not as strong as his father would have hoped.

William currently attends Brooklyn College, with hopes of eventually transferring to the
Brooklyn Law School.  In the last few months, his latent mutant abilities have appeared,
much to his surprise.  His abilities are primarily electrically-based, but his reflexes
and coordination have increased notably, and he also appears to have developed a basic form
of 'healing factor', as well.  He has designed a (somewhat garish) costume for himself, but
is uncertain about how to actually go about the business of being a superhero.
