Vibron

Real Name:  Mathers, Jeffrey

Origin and Background:  Jeffrey Mathers was a comic book junkie since before he could read and has wished he had super-powers ever since seeing his first Saturday morning cartoon show.

By thinking about superheroes and wishing for super powers so much he opened up portions of his mind normally left unused by human beings.  By doing so, his powers spontaneously generated themselves.

Designing a flashy costume and calling himself "Vibron", he zoomed off to do good deeds.  But after a time he found that being a hero was tough work along with being morally restricting.

So, due to lack of dedication, Vibron slowly slipped into lawlessness.

Combat Tactics/M.O.:  Vibron spends his first action setting up a TK-defense and his second with a vibration attack.

Occasionally, Vibron likes to vibrate through a wall into another room, peeking in he uses his TK ability to move things around and cause confusion.

Personality/Character Traits:  Mathers is happy-go-lucky and playful.  To him the dangerous super powered combat in which he participates is just a big, fun game.  He really enjoys his relationship with Vindicator, and she helps keep his tremendous intellect focused when he starts enjoying himself too much.
