HISTORY
Larson was born in Georgetown Ontario. His family upbringing was short as his parents abandoned him in a city park one day never leave a clue as to why or where they went.
Within a few days of wondering some street people saw him and took him in as one of their own. While living with these street people they taught him how to lie, cheat and steal. This bunch of street people were not ones to stay in the same place for very long so they travel from city to another a lot taking Larson with them. Traveling became a way of life for Larson and he never thought of stopping and cleaning up his life.
When Larson was about 22 he saved a man’s life. In return the man offered Larson a janitorial job at the nuclear plant he managed. Without hesitation Larson accept the offer.
All seem good for Larson but life just seem to have it in for him. For after working there for six months a small leak occurred which no noticed at first all this Larson was cleaning everywhere in the building. So he just got bathed in the nuclear fumes.
Shortly after all this started happening. Strange things started happening to him not to mention that he got very, very sick. When finally he thought things couldn’t get any weirder he noticed as he would pass by various powered equipment it would short out then as he moved away it would come on again and he would feel slightly reenergize.
Things continued on as normal as they could be with all this happening. As more of these little event continued to happen he came to the conclusion that it was he that was shorting them out.
One day when at work got into an argument with a security guard Larson got extremely angry with him and just gave one of those looks that could kill. When suddenly light beams came out of his eyes vaporizing the guard where he stood. At this all the people started to run and scream in fear.
The Canadian Shield not being far from the scene heard the screams and followed them to their source. Once arriving he leaped into action through a rigorous battle Larson learned much about his powers. In the end Larson escaped now unable to go back to a normal life decided to revert to his old ways. Soon after this he decides to call himself Absorb because of his new powers.
All things aside Larson would give almost anything to have a normal life.
POWERS AND SKILLS
Absorb very little hand to hand combat knowledge. He is an excellent petty thief and a half decent con man. Although none of this truly makes him dangerous he is not some one you want to mess with for he has great power. Through absorbing almost all forms of energy he can dispel that energy in many forms. Just through the absorption of all this energy it has made him 50 times stronger than a normal man at any time. Some of the other ways he can manifest his energy is in beams of light shooting out of his eyes allowing him to incinerate even the toughest of metals he can also spit nuclear fireballs from his moth and last from what we know at the moment he can soot purple beams out of his feet allowing him to fly. While flying he can reach speed of 500 miles per hour.
