"I am a long time, avid player of Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games and have played both City of Heroes and City of Villains considerably since their respective launches. I’ve followed the games as they have evolved with each issue and update. Also, I am a veteran of MMO support and development, with over 5 years of experience at Sony Online Entertainment where I served in a number of roles, including: customer support, game production and community management."

Origin Story

Please see the main article here[1]

Powers

Possibly a kinetics or gravity controller, from the vague references to slowing down time in his origin story.
Lighthouse ages at a reduced rate,
