Quanta, the offspring of Wildfire and Shikari, was born from the ‘body’ of Wildfire after the pair ‘experimented’ in the alien energy-dimension of Teall. Upon being rescued from their exile, Wildfire began to exhibit strange mood swings and produce dangerous bursts of energy and radiation, requiring modifications to his suit to contain the unpredictable eruptions. A month later, the suit simply burst, and a tiny energy form spun off of his central mass and began zipping around the headquarters, burning small holes in anything it slammed into.

Even Brainiac 5 was speechless.

Since then, Quanta, as the new life-form named itself, has spent a year banging around Legion headquarters, apparently as mentally mature as it’s ever going to get, and showing no signs of physically changing in state. It’s prodigious intellect came as a surprise to Brainiac, ‘particularly given it’s lineage’ he noted ascerbically, and it spent much of it’s free time floating around his laboratory, ‘back-seat researching,’ as Brainy sourly called it. Quanta appears as a spinning ovoid construct of radiant energy, about a meter high and slightly less wide, although it can ‘spin itself out’ into a roughly humanoid form, when it is of a mind to do so.

While Quanta had a strong connection to its parent Wildfire, and was known to occasionally merge with his energy-form for a time, it seemed to have no rappor with its’ other parent, Shikari, despite an occasional attempt by her to connect with the strange little ball of energy. With absolutely no knowledge of human interactions, or Kwai interactions, or other sentient energy-life interactions, for that matter, Quanta is content to go about it’s way, apparently uninterested in bothering to learn why the ‘clumsy walkers’ behave the way they do.

To the horror of it’s team-mates, many of whom regarded Quanta as little more than a pet of Brainy’s, or some sort of team mascot, and not a sentient citizen in it’s own right, Quanta has begun research into asexual reproduction. At any given time, some unusual, and often short-lived, energetic life-form can be found buzzing through Legacy HQ, none so far with a mentality more advanced than that of a wild animal, and often with dangerous energy-manipulating abilities. So far, only two of them have proven to be stable, but they retain only animalistic mentalities, and are confined for their own (and, more importantly, everyone elses!) safety, in a section of the HQ that some of the team consider a zoo, but Quanta considers a nursery…

Currently, Quanta is inexplicably limited to human-equivalent senses, which Brainy theorized was because of the mental structures he had modeled his sentience upon came from his ‘father’ (mother?) Drake Burroughs. Brainy had laid out a series of exercises that would allow Quanta to tap into many other sensorial, due to it’s energetic nature and non-humanoid form, but these ‘lesson plans’ were lost with Legion HQ, and he has expressed no interest in re-compiling them, since the creature has likewise shown itself to be in no hurry to follow them anyway.

Note: *If* Quanta chooses to follow up on the ‘strange things’ it sometimes sees, and fully develop it’s sensory potential, it would have;

Super-Senses 20 (low-light vision, infravision, ultravision, X-ray vision (every 2 ranks of hardness penalize notice checks by 1), radio, acute (radio sense), radius 2 (all visual senses), extended 2 (10x, all visual senses), ranged 2 (touch, taste), detect (EM energies, sense, ranged, acute, accurate))

Currently, it’s more interested in the whole ‘spawning a race’ idea, and the only ‘training’ it has followed up from Brainiac’s itinerary was a complicated series of mental exercises that allowed it to assimilate and ape the communications and translation functions of a Legion Flight Ring. Technically, this could be considered a ‘device,’ since Brainiac implanted the pattern into the small being, and yet, it really isn’t removable, so there is no point break.
