Impact isn’t a very complicated young man. He loves the limelight and being the center of attention, showing off with his powers be it on the battlefield or off of it. He revels in the fight, enjoying a massive battle with abundant collateral damage, which he is infamous for, perhaps a bit too much. He is brash and undisciplined, prone to rushing in without forethought or concern for the consequences, and it is only thanks to his powers that this hasn’t gotten him killed. He is possessed of immense, roguish charm and a lopsided and cheeky grin that has won the hearts of many an admirer, and he is well aware of his good looks. That said, he is not all shallow, as he is incredibly loyal to those that manage to form friendships with him that are more than superficial in nature, and he willingly throws himself into harm’s way in order to protect others.







For all his current fame and abilities, Jason Blackwell was not always a superstar. Born and raised in Manhattan, New York, he was just one person among a great many. Even his good looks and cocky charm weren’t enough to propel him out of the murk of normalcy, to establish him as truly extraordinary. Athletically gifted, he possessed the potential to become a professional, but he lacked the discipline and dedication to really put the work in, being more concerned with chasing girls and partying at all hours of the night.

The big change came when he was winding down after a hard camping trimp-come-rave. He wandered up the slope of the mountain they’d camped at the base of, indifferent to the colossal storm that was beginning to coalesce above him. As he was sitting upon the edge of a cliff, peering over the edge, a massive bolt of crimson lightning thundered down to strike him, the unnatural energies of the storm imbuing him with inhuman abilities- And throwing him off the cliff. Fortunately, his ability to fly manifested itself instinctively and he survived to tell the tale- Which he did. Often, and with great relish.

The energy that infuses Impact’s body provides him with enormous physical capabilities. He is incredibly strong, fully capable of ripping apart steel and lifting massive weights, though he does have his limits. He can fly and move at speeds equal to that of lightning, crossing large distances in a flash, and is superhumanly durable.







The lightning that struck Jason was no ordinary energy, and though he is unaware of the specifics, he doesn't particularly care about them either. He is able to project the vibrant red lightning in order to cause immense damage to whatever it hits, as it possesses both enormous amounts of raw energy, more then capable of melting steel. He is, however, awful at controlling it, and every time he uses it there is inevitable collateral damage. Typically speaking, he tends to instead surround his body with it, particularly his fists, and use it to add extra oomph to his blows.
