Alvin Daniels was just a normal guy, until a chance encounter with a
dimensional rift granted him swiftness, laser eyes, and titanium
skin. Armed with these abilities, he fought petty crime as Alvidan
while saving to equip himself as a hero.
Returning one day to
the site of his empowerment, he found strange crystals growing there.
There were some people out there willing to trade the crystals for
gear, so he was able to power up to fight crime.
Later, he tried to
save a hero called the Options Oracle from being overwhelmed, but
failed, however as the Options Oracle died, he passed on a portion of
his power to Alvidan, increasing his abilities and his resolve.
Alvidan was
approached by BADGE, which recruited him to help fight The
extradimensional Invaders. With their guidance, he learned that his
powers were mainly psychokinetic. He soon learned to produce powerful
shields of kinetic energy and move huge masses of stone, though his
powers had a very short range. He also learned to bend space so that
he could step long distances in a short time.
BADGE also assisted
him with some equipment, and helped him refurbish some gear captured
from criminals. With that, his heroic career was certainly getting
somewhere.
Unfortunately, where
he was getting was pretty much the middle of the pack, as far as
super heroes were concerned.
He started a regimen
of ninja training to assist in his skill development.
While fighting
against an escapee from Purgatory Prison, He suffered a curse that
caused his gear to malfunction. This made it behave as if he had a
different core and peripherals. Eventually he learned to control
this, so that he could switch his gear functions to a limited variety
of choices.
He managed to track
down an Escapee called "Your Zombie Ex-Girlfriend", only to
discover that she had turned over a new leaf and was seeking to use
her zombie abilities for good. He allowed her to remain "at
large" even though it went against his orders.
Both his powers and
his gear continue to improve, the former mostly through practice and
the latter through gathering things from his enemies that are
repurposed for him.
He finds himself
having trouble with the genetically engineered Vixen, even though he
manages to catch her by surprise once she promptly escaped him. After
several more attempts to capture her, he finally managed to do so and
began questioning her about her boss, Dr. Fulcrum.
Alvidan woke up one
morning changed into a woman, though uncertain what had happened or
how long it would last, they were determined and continued to fight
crime. Alvidan realizes eventually that the change in form, like the
ability to change gear, relate to the Seed of Potential that he got
from the Options Oracle. He is switching abilities and forms with his
analogs from other worlds.
His (her?) abilities
continue to change and grow. This lates change allows becoming some
kind of monstrous shapeshifter which resembles an undead werehyena
while in combat. It is very effective in fights, but not particularly
comfortable.
Alvidan accidentally
discovered that it is possible to release the energies that empower
him explosively, and trained himself to control it by use of a key
word. While Alvidan was Improving, other heroes were betting better
faster, so he remained pretty average.
