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. |
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. |
