He has been known to engage in banter, witty or otherwise, while pursuing villains; and is quite energetic in his pursuits. AS a product of his recent past however, Turn Back has learned to make some hard moral choices. He believes that there are times when the best way to protect people from the evils of the world are to remove the source of the corruption wherever one can find it. He would like to say he takes no joy in these hard decisions, but when faced with certain elements of his past, he is forced to admit a certain level of sadistic satisfaction. Civilian Personality: Jason is often cold upon his first meeting. He keeps very professional and businesslike, often not exchanging many words at all. Once he begins to warm up to a person however, another side of him comes out. Jason will begin smiling and joking more, engaging in conversation and sharing stories of his life. He doesn't have many people he would consider a friend, but those he does he would give his life for. Super abilities: -Skills: --Parkour: Jason has learned to navigate city streets quickly and in the most direct route, which often takes him in directions others would fear to tread. --Impeccable Aim: Jason has trained himself to be an expert marksman... So long as the ammunition is rubber bands or pebbles, and the weapon is his hands. -Powers: --Energy Vampire: Jason has the superhuman ability to absorb and negate any energy which is directed at him. His body converts this energy into stored potential energy and can release it on command. Jason is able to either expel it from himself in a blast or wave, as well as imbue the energy into objects, which expel it in a blast on contact. There is an upper limit to how much energy he can hold, as well as a time limit before the energy starts breaking down with some explosive side effects. Jason is able to absorb all different types of energy, which have different effects as detailed below. ---Kinetic Energy: The most common and easiest type of energy for Jason to store, Kinetic energy is any physical force directed at him. After absorbing this energy, Jason is able to expel it in a concussive blast, essentially adding the power of whatever stored energy he has to his own attack. ---Heat Energy: Coming from fire usually, this type of energy allows Jason to expel blasts of intense heat. Any objects imbued with this energy also tend to pop like a firecracker. ---Electrical Energy: Most often found by tapping into live electrical systems, this energy allows Jason to send arcs of lightning towards his foes, though he has no control over the arcs when he releases them. Imbuing this energy into an object will turn it into an EMP ---Sonic Energy: This type of energy allows Jason to launch loud, ear-shattering attacks at his foes. While absorbing this energy, it also dampens any sound he makes. ---Photon Energy: Energy from light, essentially. Using this type of energy allows Jason to create bright, flashbang-type flashes, dazing opponents who look too closely. ---Nuclear Energy: Though untested, Jason has the dormant ability to absorb nuclear energy. This would allow him to direct potent blasts of radiation, as well as turning imbued objects into tiny bombs. --Limited Invulnerability: Due to his ability to absorb energies directed at him, this has a side effect of completely nullifying any attack made against Jason. So long as he is aware of danger, his powers are active, and have even been known to stop bullets from harming him. --Enhanced Stamina: By absorbing wasted energy when he walks or runs, Jason is able to go longer, and further distances than the average human. -Gadgets: --Prosthetic Arm: Jason's left arm was amputated at the elbow, and has been replaced by a prosthetic. This new arm is tied to his nervous system so that he can control it like a regular arm, though he has no sensation to it. Also his energy absorption abilities do not function through this arm, only energy discharge. -Weapons: --Folding Cane --Pocketfulls of Rubber Bands Civilian Occupation: Independent Electrician Biography--------- Character History/Origin: Jason was born in the city of Gotham. His parents, Johan and Iotta Graves, along with he and his younger sister Emma Graves, never lived an easy life.
