He wears special glasses that hide this after a bullying incident at a young age, reverting both of his eyes to brown. Only his family (parents deceased and sister missing) and his close friend, Hisako, and her father Rokuda know of this.

Powers:

• Electricity Generation: Scott can generate electricity without having to look for sources of electricity.
• Electrokinetic Flight: Scott can fly, glide and levitate through manipulation of electricity, allowing himself to fly at different speeds, and propel himself with an enhanced jump with a short burst of electricity.
• Electricity Attacks: Scott can release/use electricity for various attacks, such as hand blasts, creating electric bombs, close-quarters combat etc.
• Electrical Infusion: Scott can infuse electricity with his melee attacks, allowing to deal more damage with a chance of shocking his opponents. However, he almost never uses too much, using enough to incapacitate his opponent unless otherwise.
• Electrical Transportation/Teleportation: Scott has the ability to teleport himself via electrons in the air at will, though he only uses it when necessary, and can only teleport short distances.
• Defibrillation: As he has the power of electricity, Scott can use it to restart the heart of another being. Will only work if the heart has not been shot, stabbed, or separated from the body.
• Electric Conductivity/Electric Heating: Scott can conduct, heat, and/or charge objects with electricity.
• Electricity Solidification: Scott can manipulate electrons to solidify the electricity, with the level of solidity going from loose jelly to metal-like hardness or beyond. However, he only uses this power to give to whoever he meets and trusts a solidified ball of electricity, using this more as a gift giver than to fight.
• Electrical Pull: Scott can create a tether-like electric rope that clings to objects through magnetic or electrostatic attraction and can be used to hoist one's self to destinations, or pull objects towards him.
• Electrical Grinding: Scott can channel the electricity under his feet to grind across electrical power lines and poles, as well as on metal structures.
• Electrical Shield Constructs: Scott can create an electric shield, similar shape to riot police shields, to defend himself or others from bullet fire.

Skills/Abilities:

• Unique Fighting Style: Scott was taught karate by his late father as a child. On top of that, he also uses moves he's seen in wrestling and movies, however, despite all that, he thinks of himself as a brawler type, jumping into a fight and punching anything that moves.
• Enhanced Stamina: Scott has been trained by his father on how to exert himself without tiring for longer periods. After his parents' death, he continued to learn how to sustain himself, up to the point where he would be able to stay up a couple days at a time, mostly thanks to the electricity flowing through him.
• Peak Human Durability: Due to his brawler mentality, he isn't afraid to get himself beat up. Thanks to his father's guidance, his body can almost sustain pain at the peak of human limits, but it still leaves him with bruises and scars.
• Instrumentalist: Though it is unrelated to combat, his mother taught him how to play the guitar when he was a child, before learning how to play bass and drums later in life.

Weapons/Gadgets:

• Cherry Blossom Communicator Necklace: Given to him by Rokuda, this allows him to communicate with Hisako, who is unable to speak any other language except Japanese.

Weaknesses:

• Scott can lose his powers if submerged in water (excludes rain, to which Scott doesn't even know why) to water and his powers are activated, how long his powers are lost depend on the amount of time he's spent in the water.
• If Scott exerts too much of his power, it may ultimately kill him or cause him to lose his powers.
• Scott may make decisions that may be questionable towards other heroes or the public.

Likes: Rock/Punk/Metal music, some pop, rap and electronic music, video games, taking walks, exploring New York City, hot chocolate, wrestling

Dislikes: People who shove their opinions in his face, posh people, the government/authorities, most forms of Pop/Rap music, the name the public gave him

Personality: Despite been alone for almost 9 years, Scott is hesitant to work with other superpowered beings, preferring to work alone. He is rather talkative when battling crime, whether trying to converse with the criminal or making terrible puns, jokes and pop culture references. He is usually open about his personal life and the events that happened before him, and doesn't not care if his face is shown to the world since stopping first crime. Sometimes he battles without his costume, being very carefree about exposing himself to the world when he first started using his powers for good. Also at times, he can be really childish, or flirtatious, depending on who he's with. However, he can become real protective of those he truly cares about, while also keeping the public away from danger. Sometimes in tense situations, he will do his best to talk things out diplomatically, before actually engaging in a fight.

Origin: Scott was born to Pedro Sotto, a former karate competitor, and Brooklyn Anderson, a virtuoso, particularly in music. He was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, as well as his sister, Sarah Anderson, who was born 5 years after him. It was mostly a quiet life for Scott and his family, however when he was around 7 years old, he witnessed a small group of slightly older boys harassing another boy around his age. He attempted to protect the boy, but ended up getting beaten up alongside the bullied boy. His father had noticed this, so he shooed them away, before tending to both 7 year olds. Pedro then took it upon himself to train Scott to defend himself, teaching him various techniques and such for 7 years; during that time he watched a lot of wrestling and boxing, so he adopted different move-sets from watching that. Over the years of going to school and such, he had sworn to protect the little guy ever since, stopping bullies from ever hurting other people.

14 was the age Scott had begun to manifests his powers. It began during his second year of middle school. He noticed another group of people harassing another student, this time it was a girl his age. Of course, it was only natural of him to rush over and make quick work of him, but then his electrical powers had manifested mid-battle, inadvertently shocking one of the bullies. Scott, distraught, rushed home from school that day. It soon began to spread on the news that Scott had 'attempted' to murder another student, which caused the public living in his area to turn on him. One night, protesters had broken into their home, destroying and burning down their property, inadvertently killing Scott's parents, however his sister was nowhere to be seen after the protesters broke into their home. This caused the young Scott so much distress and rage, he soon began to lash out against the public, using his powers to blast anyone that destroyed the household. Luckily for him, no one was seriously hurt, but Scott was scared. Even though he has lost everything, he remembered swearing to himself that he is to protect the helpless, not harm them. However, he ran away from his own hometown, heading south of the Canadian border, which took him months, if not a year or two. He was now declared a dangerous individual in Canada, and promised himself to never, ever go back, no matter how much he valued his now-hostile home country.

Over the next several years, Scott began to train himself, moving from location to location, finding ways various ways to survive out in the cold and dangerous world, and avoiding the authorities eventually reaching the United States of America at age 17. He kept on doing the same things he did before coming to America, whilst also staying away from law enforcement and from anyone he could pose a dangerous threat to. However, one night, a small robbery had taken place in the form of a woman's purse getting snatched, right in front of Scott's eyes. He knew he shouldn't intervene, but he did anyway, revealing his true self when he electro-pulled the robber back towards them, before giving her purse back to the woman. He took the robber to the nearest police station later, leaving him there to get apprehended after dropping him off immediately. He continued helping the public, no matter how big or small the problem was, for the next several years; since then, he's become known as the mysterious, yet selfless individual who goes out of his way to help whoever is in need...

She's also a bit of a tomboy, as she hung out with boys most of the time. She isn't quick to trust people easily. Hisako can be a bit of a stubborn person sometimes. She was taught by her mother to keep calm at all times, though sometimes she forgets about it.

Origin: Hisako Ayashi was born in Tokyo, Japan. As a young girl and even to this day, she had always idolised superheroes. She lived in Japan for some of her life, until moving to the United States of America a few years later, specifically in New York, where she attends Midtown Science High. Nothing exciting has happened since the move, until almost 3 years ago.

It was a simple class exercise, where each student would be assessed on how well they can conduct an experiment from a pre-set list chosen by the teacher. It all went wrong for Hisako, causing a minor explosion in which she was covered in the chemicals she was working with. Someone sitting close to her had also been splashed by the chemicals as well, leaving small non-severe burns on his skin as well as Hisako, so both students were sent to the med-bay to clean themselves up.

Hisako was cleaned up, though not without some small burns left by the chemicals, while the other was waiting to get patched up. Hisako walked to the boy also with small burns, asking if he was okay, unintentionally making skin-on-skin contact via each other's arms, which then healed the boy's burns as the two were conversing. The nurse was surprised seeing the boy having no burn marks on his skin, as she had seen him come in with them. The boy and Hisako were just as surprised as the nurse, and soon went back to class. Everything was back to normal, but Hisako had many questions. How had the boy's skin healed? Did he have superpowers? Or did she have superpowers herself?

Although she decided against it, Hisako revealed her powers to her parents. Her father, Rokuda, was ecstatic but hesitant, as well as her mother Maki, to let her out into the world... till they met a man with electric powers, who was also Hisako's idol ever since she moved to America, agreeing to train her how to defend herself and teach her the ways of being a superhero...

In the following years, she quickly learnt how to master some other forms of martial arts in Japan such as Aikido and Jujutsu.
• Ribbon Dancing: Throughout her childhood until selected as part of a superhuman program in Japan to train her to use her powers, Yukiko was widely known in her hometown for her exceptional ribbon dancing skills, taught by her mother, who was a retired well-known ribbon dancer in Japan. She has since implemented the ribbon dance style in her own fighting style.

Likes: Surfing, Ribbon dancing, Soft pop music, Archery, Including people (or tries to)

Dislikes: People who disrespect the law, Excluding people, Metal music, Uncooperativeness, Breaking the law

Born with a militaristic and political background, she believes that the law is right, no matter how suspicious it may, and will often feel guilt for breaking any law in any location she's in. Yukiko prefers working with a team rather than by herself, as she believes that working together strengthens trust between each other, and will also provide her teammates with opportunities to teach future generations on how to tolerate and work with each other. She cares deeply for her teammates, and may share a bond with one person she feels extremely close with. However, Yukiko may lose sight of the mission at hand and vise versa, potentially putting her teammates at serious risk.

Origin: Yukiko Yukimura was born on June 16th, 1997 in Sapporo, on the island of Hokkaido. Yukiko's mother was a professional ribbon dancer, retiring due to her pregnancy; her father is a high-ranking officer in the Japan Ground Self-Defence Force. Her powers had been developing since she was in the womb, as a result of her mother's hereditary gene that grants the younger generation the power to control one of the many elements, though only few with such powers existed in her mother's bloodline. In this instance, Yukiko was born with snow and ice powers, though they hadn't fully manifested until she turned two.

Her parents knew of these strange genetics while the mother was pregnant, which led to the creation of the Japan Superhuman Program, or simply JSP, under the leadership of Yukiko's father, who believed that people with extraordinary abilities can shape the world into a better place, as he had heard of beings with such abilities around the world.

Rather than put her in the training program straight away, the parents waited until she was 12 years old, in which during that time Yukiko taught herself a little about how to use her powers, using it to create magnificent shows in her hometown, showcasing her ribbon dancing ability, under the tutelage of her mother for much of her childhood, as well as showing what she can do with her powers, while gliding around on snow.

Once she was of age, she spent most of her life training to control her powers better, as well as learning normally through a school system established and making new friends within the program. Her grades were among the highest of students, and graduated by the age of 18.

Yukiko, now going by her chosen codename, Snow Arrow, fresh out of the academy, joined S.H.I.E.L.D., determined to become a hero people can look up to...

Likes: His son, solitude, fixing/working on vehicles, drinking, quietness, classic movies, working on new weapons/gadgets

Dislikes: Being involuntarily involved, anyone who would go for him and his son, the authorities

Personality: James is a very grounded, down to Earth person. He doesn't ask for much, and is rather seclusive about his life. James doesn't commit crimes just for fun or to become rich, instead he tries to support himself, while also trying to set an example for his son as best as he can, despite his criminal ways. Sometimes he may team up with someone when the situation depends on it, mostly teaming with heroes as opposed to villains, although he doesn’t openly trust anyone.

Origin: James was born in Brooklyn, New York, albeit in the rough parts of Brooklyn, to John and Sally Zurowski; his sister Grace born a couple years later. His parents tried to do the best they could to sustain themselves, however, his mother became too obsessed and abusive, while his father eventually gave up. This led to many fights within between them, however James only escape was leaving his rundown apartment in the night while his parents were asleep, and went on to experience Brooklyn himself at the age of 10.

He had gotten himself into trouble many times, especially when hanging with the wrong people, and sometimes involved himself in the fights between his parents, choosing to stand up for himself rather than fight for one or the other. Initially, he did look up to superheroes, with Spider-Man being his biggest idol. Each day, he prayed that one day something good will come, and the heroes will come and help, but they never did. It left him bittersweet towards them, unable to trust his life in the hands of superheroes, but chose to stay in the grey whilst the many battles of the classic hero vs. villain took place. It didn't help that all the major players in his time slowly died off by the 2000's.

After finishing high school, he immediately went enlist in the army to get away from his parents, and took part in the Second Gulf War, earning the name "Crackerjack Jim" due to how well he can fix up vehicles, meeting his future love, Mica, during his time in the field. However, an incident between James and Mica, and handful of "idiot soldiers" occurred, which resulted in Mica's death and James' discharge. That same night however, just before her passing at a medical tent at one of their outposts in Afghanistan, she gave birth to a son, Bryce, in 2007. James and his newborn were sent home, however Bryce was sent under the care of his younger sister and her husband in Queens.

In the years since James was sent back, he began a life of crime, only to try and support himself. At the suggestion of his sister, however, he has opened up a garage, where he can also try to support himself instead of commit felonies, however, James always ends up back in his old habits, whether he wants to or not...
