Biography
Cole MacGrath
Cole then accompanied Zeke Dunbar to the Neon District's water architectural hub to clear out the local city water supply, which had been intentionally contaminated with a mind-altering black tar substance by a hostile faction known as the Reapers. Upon arriving at the primary valves, Cole MacGrath used his electromagnetic powers to restore the facility's offline filtration systems, forcing the localized pumps to purge the toxic sludge from the grid. As the machinery successfully recycled the water, a massive pipeline rupture sprayed high-pressure tar directly across Cole MacGrath's face and upper torso, inducing a brief hallucinogenic state that forced him to physically fight off a sudden wave of Reaper ambushers while suffering severe sensory disorientation. MacGrath navigated to an open-air park in the Neon District to meet Trish Dailey, who was actively treating an influx of sick civilians at a makeshift medical triage station. Their conversation was abruptly cut short when Sasha, the telepathic and physically mutated leader of the Reapers, hijacked the local public audio speakers to torment Cole MacGrath and explicitly threaten Trish's life. A massive wave of armed Reaper ground troops immediately assaulted the park to destroy the medical supplies and eliminate the remaining survivors, forcing Cole MacGrath to establish a defensive perimeter around the triage tents and utilize high-voltage electric bolts to repel the attackers before they could breach the camp.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Cole MacGrath was a human male who possessed pale Caucasian skin, blue eyes, and a shaved head with a rugged, clean-shaven jawline that reflected his everyday working-class background. He stood at a standard adult male height with an athletic, agile, and lean muscular build developed through years of competitive urban exploration and professional bike messaging. His attire consisted entirely of casual, durable civilian clothing suited for courier work, featuring a distinctive yellow-and-black zip-up leather jacket adorned with a single star emblem on the right chest panel. Beneath the jacket, he wore a simple dark t-shirt paired with durable grey combat trousers that featured multiple pockets, tactical grey utility boots, and a single-strap black courier bag slung across his torso to carry packages. After surviving the Ray Sphere explosion, his physical appearance showed no outward signs of scarring, burns, or physical deformities, though his body naturally emitted faint, crackling blue electrical arcs whenever he actively channeled his inner energy or interacted with nearby electronics.
Powers and abilities
Cole MacGrath was born an ordinary member of the human race, which meant he initially possessed standard human physical limitations, relying on his peak cardiovascular stamina, parkour training, and natural athletic coordination to navigate urban environments. However, Cole MacGrath was an exceptional human who carried a rare, dormant genetic marker known as the Conduit gene, which remained completely inactive until it was forcefully triggered by the massive radiation output of the Ray Sphere. This technological awakening transformed him into a Conduit, granting his cells the unique ability to act as a living battery capable of storing, manipulating, and discharging massive amounts of electricity. Cole MacGrath possessed superhuman durability that allowed him to survive falls from skyscraper heights without sustaining injury, alongside an accelerated healing factor that could instantly knit flesh and bone whenever he absorbed raw electricity directly from power lines, generators, or car batteries. His primary offensive capability was the Bolt, which allowed him to fire concentrated streams of electrical energy directly from his hands, alongside the Shockwave, an aerodynamic kinetic blast used to deflect objects and throw enemies backward. Due to his newly altered electromagnetic physiology, Cole MacGrath could not utilize traditional firearms or drive standard combustion vehicles, and he faced a critical biological vulnerability to deep water, which short-circuited his internal electrical reserve and caused lethal neural shock to his body.
