Ronnie and some of his friends had crawled under the fence to play baseball in the

only open area in their packed in urban neighborhood, a transformer station. The

ball had flown, as it so often did, off into the nest of machinery in the center of the

fenced off lot, and it was Ronnies turn to squirm under the machinery to get at the

damn thing. In this case, equipment maintenance to the Bronx wasn’t what it should

have been and a loose wire charged with 1000’s of volts of current was awaiting the

childs flailing arm like a venomous snake.

His eruption was spectacular in that he destroyed transformer station number 1243

with blasts of absorbed electricity, and it was only a court decision that stopped

ConEd from charging him to replace it!

He was recruited almost immediately by operatives from Project Utopia and he

initially declined. But after finishing up his last year in high school, he really

got to see where his friends were headed, into gangs or drugs or just nowhere,

and he decided that this wasn’t for him and came to Project Utopia, not looking

back. He has short shrift these days for people who don’t live up to their potential

like his family and school friends, all of whom he considers failures.

Since he has no significant powers unless struck with energy attacks, he prefers

to deal with other Novas, but he has fanatically trained with firearms and hand

to hand combat to be ‘useful’ in a situation where nothing exists to ‘charge’ him

up. His intensity is somewhat disconcerting, no matter what he is striving for,

whether it be a combat, a training session or a date, he is completely focussed

and even driven, like a channeled obsession. He is any extremely angry and

judgemental young man, quietly critical of people who don’t try and especially

critical of ‘white men who don’t have to try…’ About the only thing from his

‘old life’ that he has retained is a deep and abiding faith in his Methodist

religion, the source of his codename.
