NEON KNIGHT II
REAL NAME: HARRY SULLIVAN
BACKGROUND: Harry Bolander had no
idea who his grandfather was, only that his mother had been a drug
addict and her father a three time loser. He was put into the
system at age ten and grew up bouncing from foster home to foster
home. By the time he was eighteen he was a bitter young man, on
his own, with few if any prospects. He turned to crime, a
mugging, and his first time out was confronted by the super hero
Prowess. He should have been beaten into unconsciousness but then
his paranormal abilities kicked in and Prowess was blinded.
Shocked, Harry bolted, he escaped.
Over the next few weeks Harry discovered more of his abilities and he
decided to track down his mother to find out about his past. His
mother had found Jesus, gotten clean, and she confessed she had been a
super villain groupie. She slept with Horace Bolander of Heavy
Metal. In fact, she had slept with just about every member of
Heavy Metal and in her desire to come clean gave far more details than
Harry ever wanted to hear. Harry tracked down his grandfather and
convinced the man to show him a few tricks. Horace was at first
reluctant, but guilt is a good motivator and Neon Knight took his
grandson under his wing. Horace tried convincing Harry to become
a super hero. He pointed out the advantage of endorsements, of not
being chased by police, of not getting concussed by some violent super
hero.
But while Harry inherited his grandfather's powers, he did not inherit
his common sense...
PERSONALITY: Harry is a whiny,
selfish prick out for number one. He blames everyone else for his
problems and thinks he is entitled to to take whatever he wants.
He is out for number one and to him loyalty is an almost alien
concept. He is a borderline sociopath who draws the line at
murder only because killing people is more trouble than it's worth.
APPEARANCE: Harry is a plain looking man who stands five foot eight and
wears his dark brown hair short. He has brown eyes and sallow
skin from spending too much time indoors. He is in decent shape
but
POWERS/SKILLS: Neon Knight has inherited
all of his grandfather's powers and abilities as well as a few new
tricks. He is able to
manipulate
photonic energy for a wide array of effects. He is able to fire
off
coherent beams in a laser, create blinding pulses, holographic
illusions,
a “photonic force field”. He can also create solid light
constructs and with them do things like form platforms to fly
upon. He is also able to turn invisible to a wide segment of the
visible spectrum.
