Pop Ty -5
|
Origin:
Tyrone is a paranormal, a sort of altered human who gained his powers during the White Event, an incident that set the New Universe apart from standard reality. His powers are psionic in nature.
Known Powers:
Natural Psi-Powers (psikinetic)
Energy Duplicate (a): this unique power allows Tyrone to project his consciousness into the electromagnetic spectrum, generating a ghost-like body that he can use to fly about. He is visible and can speak to other people, but that used to be it.
After the Pitt incident, Tyrone's powers started developing. At first, he could only disrupt electronic systems by passing through them, but he can now produce various energy effects, such as stunning folks, as well. This power functions at Amazing (50) rank.
Also, while in this form, he can typically fly as fast as the 'speed of thought'. While this exact speed isn't known, Tyrone can cross the nation in a very small amount of time. Finally, Tyrone is resistant (at Class 1k rank) to physical and energy attacks while in his energy form.
Limitation: while his consciousness is in it's energy form, Tyrone's physical body is comatose, and he cannot sense what is happening to it or in it's vicinity. Should his physical body be slain, his energy consciousness would probably die, too.
Energy Control (t): Tyrone has demonstrated various energy manipulation abilities, though he primarily works with electricity. He can alter electrical fields with Incredible (40) ability, and has been shown to alter sound and light fields (usually his energy duplicate's) with Good (10) ability.
Trained Psi Powers (superpsi)
Gestalt (a): Tyrone can combine his psychic essence with the rest of Psi-Force's in order to manifest the Psi-Hawk, their combined gestalt form. This entity was apparently slain by the Russian paranormal known as Rodstvow, but I am assuming the team can still form it.
Equipment:
(none)
Quirks:
3-D Sense: Tyrone has gotten quite good at flying and aerial combat, and can reasonably do so in a 3-D environment (in other words, in the air).
Talents:
Aerial Combat: Tyrone makes all of his non-damage FEAT rolls at a +1 CS while fighting in the air, as he's grown very skilled in such combat.
Computers: after he ditched the Army with Psi-Force's help, Tyrone was trained by the Medusa Web in computer programming techniques; he makes computer FEATs at +1 CS.
Detective / Espionage: the Medusa Web also trained Tyrone in surveillance techniques. He can easily keep an eye on a body without them knowing it, and makes fact-finding FEAT rolls at +1 CS.
Military / U.S.: like Thomas Boyd, Tyrone was also collected by the Army for their paranormal Draft. He was trained in the Guns and Martial Arts type A and B talents.
Sports: Tyrone played plenty of sports in high school, including baseball, football, and basketball. He was rather good at them, too.
Contacts:
As a member of Psi-Force, Tyrone can probably rely on any team member for whatever help he could need. The Medusa Web should also be considered a reliable contact, as they went to great lengths to recruit the Psi-Force, and would not like to lose them.
Costume:
Black pants, black 'muscle' shirt with stylized red hawk head on front.
Personality:
Tyrone has always been a team player. Ever since high school, he worked well in a team, a trait that has helped him to keep Psi-Force together through their early years. He's an honest, trustworthy guy, and a true hero.

Story:
Tyrone was a youth about to run away from home when his paranormal powers decided to manifest a day or so after the White Event. Thanks to the mental prompting of Emmett Proudhawk, he decided to do it, and fled his home for the streets of San Francisco.
He eventually hooked up with the rest of Psi-Force, and having nowhere else to go, decided to hang around for a time. Tyrone was present at the death of Emmett Proudhawk, who was slain by the Russian paranormal known as Mindwolf.
Tyrone and the enraged teens decided to get even with this murderer, and summoned forth the Psi-Hawk to help them do so. This being was generated by the combined essences of the psionic youths, and was able to defeat their enemy in no time flat.
After this incident, Psi-Force remained in their Sanctuary for the most part, until the Russian paranormal known as Rodstvow destroyed it. Tyrone was severely wounded in this blast, suffering severe burns across his body.
His body was left in a local hospital, but his mind was still functioning. Tyrone mentally projected his energy form to escape the pain his body was in, and was able to join his friend Wayne in Seattle, to help him escape the pursuit of the Medusa Web, who were out to get him.
During this time, Tyrone met and befriended Andrew Chaser, an investigative reporter who'd become interested in Psi-Force, and the government's quest to bring them in. The two exchanged information on various subjects, which led to the rescue of the rest of Psi-Force.
Wayne, Tyrone, and their new pal Lindsay journeyed back to America (after hiding out in Canada) and freed Thomas Boyd from the Army (he'd been Drafted). With that extra help, the team freed their other captive pals from a military hospital, and planned their future.
They decided to break into another military facility to find out who was after them, and to get the dirt on their operations, but someone had beaten them there. It was Rodstvow. He'd pretty much cleaned the place out, and thanks to this, the soldiers inside were rather... angry.
They pretty much shot the Psi-Force down on sight. Thanks to Anastasia, the team healer, the team was saved from death, though at the cost of Anastasia's very life. This made the team very angry, and they decided to get even with the army and Rodstvow both.
They summoned forth the Psi-Hawk, and did battle with Rodstvow over the streets of Washington D.C., totalling the city in the process. The Psi-Hawk lost its battle with the Russian, however, and was apparently destroyed in the process.
After this, Tyrone awoke in his San Francisco hospital bed, where he was promptly carried off by the Feds to be Drafted. He was still crippled from the Sanctuary explosion, but this didn't matter to them; they just wanted the paranormal for their own purposes.
Tyrone stayed in the army for the rest of the Psi-Force comic. However, the last issue hinted that the team eventually broke him out, too, and he rejoined Psi-Force as well. Since he wasn't in the War (the 'end' of the New Universe line), I'm assuming this was the case.
