Powers & Abilities: An explosion turned his skin into super dense metal. His insides were vaporized, replaced with energy from the Speed Force. This enables him to tap into speedster powers such as super speed and energy projection. Due to the relative weight of his body, he can't move as fast as the Flash family, but still can reach supersonic speeds with ease.

Personality: Ion  has the energy of most speedsters, and the mouth to accompany it. A pretty rash hero, he is generally the first guy to jump in... and the first to get knocked through a wall. Despite this apparent idiocy, he is actually pretty smart. Just don’t stick him in water.

Origin Story: Central City, five years ago. Postgraduate student Sam Moore was working with fellow student John Merci on an experimental energy generator. The testing was going well, and they were about to publish their paper, when the Flash zipped past fighting one of his many, many rogues. The Speed Force energy caused a malfunction in the prototype. It exploded, changing the two scientists lives forever.
Sam gained the powers he has today, but John... John was lost that day. Torn between this reality and Quark, he became physically and mentally unstable. Blaming Sam and the Flash, he became the villain known as Frostbite. With his newfound powers, the former student took to the streets to try and stop his former friend hurting anyone. That day, he proved his heroism, and the press dubbed him Ion... well actually they tried Iron Man, but everybody found that a tad stupid.[/color][/hider]
