Given his quiet disposition, as well as a poor upbringing; it is no surprise that Isaac has grown into a less than socially acceptable citizen. To surmise his behavior, one could look to any number of adjectives to describe it. The most prevalent being among this rather lengthy list: reserved, merciful, selfish, motivated, receptive, confident, perceptive, and cunning. Isaac is by no means a sociopath, but his priorities remain with himself and do not branch much farther than that. His goals are entirely personal, it is very rare that he will ever take another under his wing or simply at his side. Teamwork simply isn't a virtue he was ingrained with, and often times it interferes with his own abilities. This has lead him into a rather reserved, quiet attitude toward the world. Being social isn't exactly is top quality and it certainly won't be the case any time soon. In fact, he'd rather kill someone then be trapped talking to any particular person for more than an hour. He simply hates meaningless dialogue, and at times this can make larger jobs complicated. Without teamwork you can't get as far, and that aspect is something that Isaac has yet to realize.

When in a situation that requires his abilities, one may notice that Isaac often carries himself calmly and with a precision. Not because he is by any means supernatural, but he chooses to be perceptive through regular human means. Simply examining an opponent can do wonders for what mental capacity he has, and can even provide him with opportunities that he may not have taken advantage of before. To put it quaintly, he merely uses his brain in hopes of getting something out of it afterward. He applies common sense, and often times that is a quality rarely assessed by supers who think they have it all. Merely having power doesn't mean it can be used well, and that is a philosophy that Isaac hopes to capitalize on in every position. Cunning is this key trait, and it can even come in the form of elaborate deceptions or rouses. Very methodical, Isaac is a killer looking for what treasure he can attain. Though killer is more or a less a word used by those who hate him. He very rarely takes such life, but when he does it's likely because it was deserved...at least in his mind. Things are done with purpose, or they aren't done at all. His primary motivations at the moment seem to be money and various forms of infamy, seemingly wanting only the best from the rest of his hopefully long life.

"I'm a piece of shit, yeah, so what? I do it because I want to, not because I have to. True, I was born poor, with little to my name besides the kindling that I considered my parent's home. It was meager, and sure I got an education like everyone else. It was almost as shoddy as my neighborhood, but I digress. When I was smaller, around six or seven, I learned the value of hard work and a fierce ambition. I wasn't popular, nor did I want to be. It wasn't even cool to think about popularity, in fact it was 'lame' to do such a thing. You were cool or you weren't, a ploy set up by society and its norms. I wasn't a normality, and that made me a target for cruelty. It did not last long, after the other children had seen what I could do. I was a freak nonetheless, but none of them dared look in my direction. I wasn't a mean spirited child, there were many things I enjoyed in my youth. I still have hobbies and other important satisfactions in life, not that you need to know them. Regardless, when I was old enough to leave I did. I left, not bothering with explanation.

New York was not a place I would ever admire, but New Jersey had a certain flare to it. Heroes gathered there like flies, and even now they flock to the opportunity for fame. Of course, that is the exact reason I too came. I was not greeted so kindly however, actually I never even made it to the organization itself. The more I'd thought on it, I'd actually gotten suspicious. What was the point of revealing myself to the public? It was pointless, and the heroes were kept on a system that seemed...unfair. I'd never intended to be a villain, but after awhile it'd become natural. Things clicked, and petty thefts became larger as time went by. Heroes that come are greeted poorly, and perhaps that is because they can't handle my ability. Maybe it's the simple fact that I'm under-rated by this corrupt superhero society. They will not get the best of me, I won't allow it. My origin is simple, and my purpose is just as clear. The Greater Good isn't so great, and I plan to make that extremely clear. Change is needed, and I'm going to be the one who brings it."

The ability to convert Isaac's physical manifestation into pure energy, where he retains his human form but what remains of his actual body is replaced instead with a physiology of energy itself. This ability is not permanent but does allow Isaac various applications. With this physiology, the male is capable of harnessing the energy around him into more useful constructs. Whether it be a bridge or a plane, Isaac can craft these creations out of energy; being why he is considered the architect. It is one of the more used methods of his powers, but is not the only one he possesses. Being made of energy, he is also capable of enhanced flight as well as a durability that is almost god-like. This is attainable given his form doesn't retain anything vital like organs or tissue. Essentially taking away his mortality, however that does not mean he cannot be killed. He can be caught outside of this form, and will be far easier to dispatch. Even in the form however, he is capable of being killed by anyone with the strength or capacity to do so. As pure energy however, things like mental manipulation and forces of nature do not seem to take effect with his being. When out of this form, he is of course still vulnerable. Not to mention he cannot hold this state of being forever. In doing so, he will lose his humanity and instead be stuck with his current physiology. This will in turn wear upon his psyche and his physical condition, eventually zapping him of any sanity he may have had. In fact, extended exposure to this power could potentially dull his mind and even kill him. Being why he is very conservative with the applications of his ability.
