Quick sketch, I know his shoes don't match. Costume color is kind of a navy blue with gold accents, brown hair
Superhero Name: Rebound
Real Name: Derek O'Shay
At a science expo, Derek O'Shay was arguing with another student that a device that siphons kinetic energy from a parallel dimension doesn't qualify as a "perpetual motion device" when the the sinister agents of SERPENT (that's the Society of Evil Reptile People Engaging in Nefarious Tasks for those of you at home) blew the front off of the venue. Derek was thrown into the machine, which malfunctioned, and in doing so permanently bound his body to the kinetic flow of another world before SERPENT stole his buddy (along with a number of other young scientific prodigies).
Wearing a mask to protect his identity, Rebound has been on the super-science crime beat ever since. Unmasking android infiltrators, injecting retromutagens in malicious mutates, punching up power armored punks, his quest to rescue his friend from the coils of SERPENT has kept the battling bouncer on the move
Bouncing Kinetic Hero: 4
- Superhuman Reflexes & Agility, Kinetic Manipulation, 360 degree Kinetic Awareness
Banter and Blather: 3
- If being a streamer has taught Derek any kind of life skill, it's how to yap in high intensity situations. It distracts foes, endears with bystanders, and most importantly engages with the opposition as people. Give people a window to talk back, and they'll almost always want to share their story, and that frequently means they let slip
something useful.
Budget Gadgeteer: 2
- Rebound might not have access to a super advanced lab, but he is surprisingly talented at repurposing busted consumer electronics and scrapyard materials into superhero gear.
Hold Down An Actual Job: 1
- Streamer, Cellphone Repair Guy, Uber Eats Delivery: Superheroing might not pay the bills, but in the gig economy nobody thinks twice about a guy juggling five jobs with flexible schedules.
Gear: Kevlex bodysuit, blunt steel 4" diameter throwing discs, radio tracers, mask comms w/ police scanner and spotify, camera, disposable handcuffs.
