Positron
Background
History
Positron is a arch-hero, a Task Force organizer in Steel Canyon, and a member of the Freedom Phalanx.
Dr. Raymond Keyes developed a high-tech battle suit that allowed him to channel bolts of anti-matter into fierce attacks. He used his powers to help defeat the Rikti, but at a terrible cost: Injuries he sustained at that time caused him to lose full control of his powers. Now, to protect others from himself, he remains imprisoned within his battle suit.
He is constantly searching for a cure for his condition, but that does not stop him from contributing to the defense of Paragon City and contributing many other technological breakthroughs for the good of all.
Positron is one of the Surviving Eight, dedicated to helping Paragon City rebuild after the Rikti War.
Positron's sidekick is Valkyrie. He is trying to help her come to terms with her new idenity of a super hero.
