Character History
Hector Coronado was born of noble spanish blood. The decendant of the great Spanish conquistidor Francisco Coronado, His parents taught him nobility and responsibility to his family, community, and his country. He lived quite a normal life up until his 9th birthday. His father chartered a deep sea fishing boat. During this trip, the boat became stranded on the ocean. They drifted for three days. In the intense heat, his powers began to manifest.
His ability to absorb ambient solar energy and convert to a special form of kinetic energy was the first power to show. During the next two years,his body developed air sacs and hollows throughout his entire skeletal system. These metamorphing bones also became rigid and with the tensil strength of titanium steel while remaining ultralight. He sprouted two additional appendages from his shoulder blades that soon grew down feathers, and then a full set of black and gray feathers. He has learned to use these wings to propel and sustain flight as well has gained enough mastery to utilize in combat.
His body grew in size to store the energy needed to fuel his abilities. by the time he was 13, he had doubled in size. The substanial growth spurt has since diminished, but he still dwarfs children his own age. During this time, he became quite jaded.Between the racial sterotypes and then the jibes as his mutated form, a deep anger grew within him. This soon became evident with his behavior.
He had some terrible encounters with the gang element in Van Nuys, it became such an issue that his father made the decision to send him to Rhode Island to study at the Storm Haven Academy. There he learned some martial arts training, and began working with other mutants. Even though this was a positive experience for him, He soon outgrew the Academy and left for a brief stint.
He then signed up as a hero in Paragon City, and joined a supergroup known as "The Peacekeepers Initiative". There he studied under Capt. Starfall among others. He soon began to miss just being a normal kid and began to doubt himself as a hero. While he looked as an adult, his feelings and maturity was still that of a normal 15 year old. After much deliberation, he sought the council of his old professor William Darkstone. William "Kurse" Darkstone introduced him to The Grae Knight, and advised that he should seek asylum within the confines of The Grae Academy. He has since resigned with the Peacekeepers, and moved into the Academy. There he learns what it means to be a hero, while also dealing with his emotions and learning that being different, even in a city full of marvels, is a good thing.
Equipment
While at Storm Haven, the hero known as "The Proletarian" developed a set of battle armor for Hector Coronado. The chest has a set of Ebon Wings enblazoned together that wrap around his arms. The Nanotechnology of the armor enhances his already superior strength and enhances his ability to absorb and store Solar energy. The helmet is filled with sensors that feed data into a visor. The Visor had a HUD that displays targets as well as vital information. The screen itself has a special AI that is tapped into the neural sensors in the back of the helmet. It has a telescopic vision enhancement that allows Kid Condor to enhance his normal vision ten fold. The armor is strong enough to deflect most ordinance as well as being resistant to elemental forces.
