Known Background: Shockwave began his career in New York City, as a member of the short-lived team, the Big Apple Knights. After only a few months, though, he apparently left that team, and appeared in Seattle. There he joined with Powerball amd Firefly, and was a part of the loose-knit team Firepower. After Powerball joined the Champions of Justice, an organization that Shockwave had worked with before, it was only a matter of time before Shockwave joined as well. His tenure with the primary team was rough. His eagerness to engage in violence bothered some of his teammates. But he has maintained some of his ties, and after several recent cases where he has gotten involved he has decided to become active enough with them to join the Champions' Auxillary Roster.
John Johnson has been a scientist and engineer ever since he finished graduate school in New York City. He went to work for Bronson Laboratories and married his sweetheart, Lori Snodgrass. They had just started a family when John was in the accident that gave him his powers; an experimental vibration cannon exploded during a test. Before his son David was two, he accepted a transfer to Bronson's Seattle branch. He worked for Bronson until Bronson Labs was bought out by MahnTech. He was concerned for his job at that point, and put in a lot of hours to make a good impression and avoid getting laid-off by the new regime; the other reason why Shockwave cut back his time with the Champions. He is now an empoyee in good standing.

Personality: Shockwave is friendly and approachable, but has a temper. He is quick to resort to violence to solve problems. He is serious about keeping Seattle safe, and is its foremost protector. He sometimes feels as if he hasn't received his due because he isn't as strong or as fast as some of his teammates. He gets frustrated because sometimes he doesn't hear things due to the loud nature of his powers. At home, though, he loves his wife and children, and is a good father. He dislikes the name his parents gave him, and had his name legally changed to John while he was in college. He puts up with the mild teasing his name receives. He considers Powerball (Scott Montoya) to be one of his closest friends.

Powers/Tactics: Shockwave's vibration blasts work best at short ranges, and combined with his tremendous strength, makes him favour fighting at close range. A high speed combat flyer, he's quick to change opponents as the need arises. His vibrating fists are hard to avoid when he punches, and he can conecentrate his vibration emissions into focussed blasts or broad cones, or he can focus them directly into an object.

Appearance: Shockwave is 6’3", with brown hair and an athletic build. It is unclear if the grey hair at his temples is a result of age or having a child in middle school. His costume is red with black boots, gloves, and cape.
