Mutation: The ability to create solid light constructs. This includes firing blasts, flight, shielding. Most of these he can't do yet though. 

Personality: Brash, eager, but if a hot head, but generally a nice guy, when he's not trying to come off as a jerk.

Bio: Irish american, born in the states while his parents were on vacation but lived in Ireland until he was fifteen. His dad worked in construction and was in charge of his companies demolitions materials. When some local members of the IRA wanted supplies to make bombs, they came knocking on old Nathan Cole's door. He denied them, flat out. But the IRA don't take well to disappointment, and a week later found Derricks father in the hospital, beaten to within an inch of his life.

Derrick stole the demolitions supplies, managed to get into contact with the men that wanted them and arranged a meet to turn them over. One of the men was an Interpol agent, undercover, and the entire thing had been a sting operation to catch the local chapter of the IRA. Derrick and his family were relocated to Boston and granted citizenship as a reward for their trouble, and assistance. No charges were brought against Derrick due to his age at the time, and his only intention was to help his father. 

When he turned 17 his powers began to manifest themselves. At first as little points of light that would randomly start floating around him, then later he was startled when a truck backfired on their block and a small beam of light erupted from his hand, shattering the cup of coffee he'd been holding in a spray of ceramic and scalding liquid. 

He left home after discussing the situation with his parents. They loved him, and they didn't have a problem with his being different. But they couldn't afford the property damage that started to creep up with the uncontrolled power he had. They supplied him with all the assistance they could and he still calls his mother nearly every day, but he's been on his own for a few years, traveling the country by motorcycle, picking up odd jobs when and where he could.
