Reactaze

Reactaze, also known as Kaleb Hoffan, is a middle-class, caucasian, male superbeing. He posseses the ability to split an electrical arc between all five fingers on both of his hands. The electricity that he produces is an extremely high voltage (over 20,000 volts of direct current), and is orange in color (due to his mutation). Without one of his controlling devices, his power is dangerously unstable. Reactaze has the ability to extend his electrical arc up to about ten feet, before it dispatches and he loses total control.

ORIGIN

Reactaze was born as Kaleb Hoffan, a human boy who lived in a smallish town, who, later in life turned into a circuit technician for a large company, where he dealt with electronic components. One day Kaleb was working on a circuit, when his hands were shocked. Kaleb, disregarded the small shock and kept working diligentely, until he noticed his whole hand was engulfed in bright orange electricity. His four fingers were acting as a positive terminal, while his thumb was acting as a negative terminal, creating an electrical arc. However Kaleb felt no pain, from the electricity that he was producing, within a few days Kaleb learned how to turn it off and on, and began taking parts from his work that would help him stabilize his powers. He created a vast variety of weapons, just in case anyone was to find out about him. Eventually he was caught and taken to jail, and his home was searched, and all of his weaponry was confinscated. Kaleb was in jail for two months, before realizing the full extent of his raw, unrefined power, he easily destroyed his cell, and broke out. He stole his weapons back and went into hiding for a month. During this time, many convicts had broken out of prison as well, and the mayor called upon Kaleb for help, which in return he gave full redemption of his former crimes. He easily bested the four men with his powers, and the newspapers started calling him 'Reactaze', and the mayor had a special suit be made for him. Many physicians said that it was most likely that Kaleb's powers were always within him locked away until he was shocked at age twenty-six, when they blossomed out.
