[quote=The Kid Lantern] On a side note, Shockwave is deaf and mute? Did I miss something in the CS [actually just reread the bio and realized I only read about half originally]? I think after his stay in the hospital, you should give him like a psychological handicap where his being deaf and mute is because of the trauma and affecting his powers in a way that he can't turn his voice and ears back 'on'. He's still young enough to not have mastered his abilities completely. He's more of a physical badass. I really enjoyed that first post. Still catching up, posting soon...~KL~ [/quote] He is technically at this moment only deaf(which is why his powers are a little advanced because with out them he can't hear) as for being mute...I honestly haven't decided on weather or not he is actually mute or simply chooses not to talk. I also had the idea that the reason he never talks is because his throat was damaged during the crash, so he can talk but for some reason he has no control over his voice. So like he says hi and anything in front of him gets hit with a blast of powerful sound pressure that could kill them...so he doesn't talk.
