Biography

Rusty Collins

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Rusty Collins was a seventeen-year-old human male characterized by a lean physical build, a fair complexion, short red hair, and blue eyes. In his base state navigating his initial naval service and subsequent confinement, he presented himself as a conventional, clean-cut military recruit, dressing entirely in standard United States Navy uniform attire. Because he had not yet developed a formal costumed superhero identity, chosen an operational code name, or integrated into an active mutant defense squad during this introductory encounter, he did not wear specialized combat garments, insulated body armor plates, or a facial concealment mask, appearing on the page completely in standard, government-issued military apparel.

Powers and abilities

Rusty Collins was a born member of the human race who possessed a latent genetic X-gene that suddenly activated under intense situational and physical duress during late adolescence. On a basic feats level, his unique mutant biology afforded him an innate, total immunity to the destructive properties of heat and open fire, preventing his own respiratory system, internal organs, and skin tissue from suffering burns or localized trauma when his capabilities manifested. His primary individual power on the page manifested as a volatile form of psionic pyrokinesis, granting him the biological capacity to mentally generate, manipulate, and project intense heat and open flames directly from his body. When his powers were triggered, an invisible, micro-thin psionic shield instinctively enveloped his physical frame to insulate him from thermal damage, allowing him to involuntarily release explosive bursts of fire capable of melting solid firearms and blasting clean through reinforced prison brick walls.
