HelpRe: Create-A-Superhuman Family 2
in reply to a message by mcts
Posted a question on your round one, just to let you know.
Name: Lennox Walter Johnson, alias Vanquish
Age: 24
Appearance: Curly, messy brown hair and deep-set grey eyes. The picture isn't quite how I see him - Lennox-in-my-head is smallish, and a little too thin-looking for his own good.
Power(s): Invisibility. Lennox could make all or portions of himself invisible by will. This can extend to other things, such as his clothes or things he's holding onto, but it takes more effort from him.
Backstory: Lennox Johnson was born into a large family (he was the oldest son with three siblings: Marcia, Ellie, and Sandro), and with their family's lack of money, he had often watched over his siblings while his parents toil day and night to provide bread on the table. However, while Lennox was witty and street-smart, he was not exactly a prodigy in his education, and with the lack of money he decided not to go to university. Working odd-jobs to provide for his siblings proved to be not quite enough, and despite inner turmoil, Lennox eventually took up to petty theft.
It was during one such thieving case that his mischief caught up with him. Lennox found himself trapped while breaking into a rather unhinged scientist's laboratory, and before he could escape, was exposed to such doses of the scientist's experimental rays that he became completely and entirely invisible. Frightened and shocked, Lennox managed to return home, only to find that his family had now feared him in turn. In time, though, they stuck together and covered for Lennox's disappearance, doing their best to accomodate the newly-invisible man. It took a week until he could learn to control his invisibility enough to be able to toggle it on and off, and longer still for it to be selective.
Later on, disgusted by his former life of crime, Lennox took up to superheroics, creating the identity of Vanquish, a mysterious crime-fighter who literally vanishes into thin air after doing his good deeds. It was on one of these crime-fighting nights that another superhero literally ran into the then-invisible Lennox: Veritas had "felt" the presence of another person, but she did not expect to ram into nothing! In time, the two superheroes bonded, became friends, and eventually more than friends. By now, Lennox and Velvela have not only fought crime together, their civilian identities are also engaged to each other.

I'm sorry I did see the question earlier. I suppose that being American, I assumed almost everything would take place in present-day America. Although, I've also considered that some characters would be of different nationalities. Sort of like in Heroes where you've Hiro from Japan and Hana Gitelman from Israel, but they're in America. I actually imagine mine to be British, perhaps that's the anglophile in me.

OK, thanks!
I'm labeling it in my head as Earth-58 from now on. Unless such a thing exists already.
