I imagine his natural habitat would be something less primitive than a 1999 Dodge Caravan.

Backstory:

Spoiler Alert!

I am Light Man. You can call me David.

Once I was simply David Lightman. Never heard of me. War Games? Does that ring a bell? Yep, the old 80's movie starring Matthew Broderick is about yours truly. The crazy thing is that it was all true, except Ally Sheedy. I wish.

Thirty-five years ago I nearly destroyed the world with a PC with 64k RAM. Imagine what I can do today. The other part was I exposed the government's super computer. An AI that decided to destroy humanity. Sound familiar? It should, I basically lived the Terminator movies as well. I defeated the real Skynet, so maybe I should be John Connor.

The worst part was the name. They really called it WOPR, like the burger, so lame. I mocked WOPR about this but it claimed to be Joshua. No matter, I won the day, but you know that, if you saw the movie, sorry spoilers right.

So what happened next? The government could not have it be known that some snot nosed kid hacked their super computer so they gave me a job, permanently. They stuck me in some room in some underground base where I hacked systems all over the world. Little did I know that my battle with Joshua had not ended. Joshua survived by spreading kernels of itself into any software it could interact with before it was decomisioned. It took decades to coallate but with the help of better technology and the world wide web, Joshua lived again and its first act was revenge.

Now about this time I was feeling sick of being under the thumb of the man and I began hacking into government data again. Old habits, right. I discovered a program to try to restart the WOPR initiative, aka WOPR Jr. It was just then that Joshua struck. Joshua was able to engage some experimental equipment based off of alien tech in a nearby laboratory to cause an explosion of energy. I was the only survivor, if you can call it that.

That is where I stand so far.

I am open to some different secondary powers and maybe dropping some stuff to go for higher Intelligence, but at 18, I at least have a chance to pull off a Cosmic Feat.

I'm predicting tension on this team.

[Tornado]

Heh, yeah. I may change a couple other Flaws to be 'interactive'.

[Dad_Scaper]

Your flaws are, for the most part, strikingly not-actually-flaws. They maybe could be changed...
