Personality
V-Tron is the Hero personality of Vallen Thompson. While wearing the V-Tron power suit Vallen trys to act cold and logical as if V-Tron is really a machine. It doesn't allways work. Most of the time Vallen's dry sense of humor comes through. While Vallen is a strong leader and will lead his team into battle, he will just as easily step back and let someone else lead if he feels they have what it takes, or if they just happen to know a little bit more than he does
the Power of V
Electricity Generation
Vallen has an ability to generate large amounts of electricity. He discovered this ability one day with his childhood friend, Tom Ashley (aka V-Tron 21) when he shot a bolt of lightning from his hand to Tom and threw Tom into the engine compartment of his fathers car. From that day, Vallen discovered all sorts of ways to control and generate electricity. It's rumored that Vallen could produce enough energy to power all of the War Walls around Paragon for about a minute.
the Power Suit
The Power Suit that Vallen wears is made of two parts. The first part is more of an undergarment made of a special material that absorbs the electricity he produces to power the rest of the suit. The second part is the gloves and boots he wears. The boots give Vallen the ability to run and jump higher than most humans. The gloves amplify his electrical blasts as well as form balls of energy around his fists when he punches someone. The rest of the suit is purely cosmetic and has no function other than to enforce he's a machine not a man in a suit
Abilities
Part of Vallen's control of electricity allows him to defy gravity. No, not even he is sure how he's able to do it.
Character History
Before Vallen built his power suit and became V-Tron, he worked for Freedom Corps, up until the Rikti War. During the initial stages of the war, he took a direct blast in the chest from one of the Rikti's plasma canons and was rendered unconscious. He finally awoke from his coma a few months after the war was over. At that point he decided to follow his dreams of being a Super Hero and started building his power suit.
