Name: Interceptor
Real Name: Has yet to be revealed publicly
Allegiance: Unaffiliated
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 210 pounds
Appearance: Interceptor is tall and well built, like a triathlete, or perhaps a light pro-wrestler. Large (but not freakishly so) muscles, and great definition give him a 'classic' hero look. He often dresses in a Eufiber outfit of the Cartman Cut, meaning it's got a low V neck at the collar with impressive shoulder padding. Blue highlighted with brilliant yellow striping accents it. His hair is brown and parted stylishly to the side, and he wears a mask that mainly covers his forehead and around his eyes, but leaves the nose and mouth open. His age appears to be the mid 20s, and he's been quoted as saying he was 24.
Powers: The most obvious power he's exhibited is Flight. This is done through energy expressed out his lower extremities, leaving a slight blue vapor trail that is harmless and fades quickly. He also has enhanced strength and stamina, not remarkable among Novas, but enough to make a difference. His main abilities seem to be able to express energy beams through his hands and eyes. The energy is fundamentally the same, though his eyebeams have a higher lethality, perhaps due to intensity, but also due to passing through such a narrow aperture, his irises. He calls the beams from his hands his 'Stunner' and the beams from his eyes the 'Hostile'. He's been working on a rudimentary personal force field, this represents his first foray into actually manipulating the energy he emits rather than merely projecting it. It's a work in progress and he calls it the "Pre-emptive". Interceptor has described energy surges he's experienced recently, and has used the enrgy guidance techniques learned at the facility, and has found that he can temporarily increase his enhanced strength to even higher levels.
His powers stem from an abnormal build up of energy in his cells, perhaps due to mitochondrian mutation. This has caused his tissues to harden, and increase his strength as well as allowing him to bleed off excess energy through flight and his energy beams. This phenomena is strikingly similar to Caestus Pax's own power spread, though on a much lower level of course, as well as the fact that Caeustus has shown far more aptitudes and expertise as well. However, initial tests at the MR Facility in Chicago theorize that Interceptor could in time experience the levels and magnitudes of power that Caestus now enjoys, or far exceed them.
Known Facts: He erupted 8 months ago, at the end of 2013, when Novas from T2M engaged a Nova allegedly of the Teragen. Details have not been revealed due to unresolved litigation stemming from the incident. It is known that Interceptor erupted during the fight when he was in danger, and supposedly was instrumental in bringing the Terat down.
Since leaving the Chicago facility he's returned home to the suburbs of Oakbrook IL, to live with his mother, a teacher's aide at the local grade school. He applied for a small business loan and hired an agent shortly after being approached by the Make a Dream Foundation. A bit later he had made for him his new costume and founded a small company called Dreams of Flight, where he offers customers a short 15 minute flight with him for $250 dollars. He uses a special Eufiber harness that is similar to tandem parachute harnesses for parachute instructors. He is working out the last arrangements to provide flights for children eligible in the Make a Dream foundation, and has been on several Opnet radio programs offering free flights to the winners of late night contests. He's currently in discussion with the Chicago emergency services for possible rescue work, and it is rumored that he's been approached by both Devries and other Nova firms, even the XWF. His powers seem ideal for combat, yet aside from the fight he allegedly got into upon eruption, it is unknown if he's ever engaged in a fight since.
He was raised Catholic, and still attends weekly services with his mother at St. John Vianney, a nearby suburb that he and his mother used to live in.
