Even if my curiosity of where Zark vanished to continues...
Character Name: Dexter Haplen aka The Cobalt Man
Age: '31'
Gender: Male
Skin Color: Shifting Hues of Blue
Height: Varies
Weight: Around 150 Grams, fluxes greatly
Eye Color: Shifting Hues of Blue
Hair Color: None
Powers: Energy Manipulation/Electrokinesis, Electrical Transport, Energy Armor, Absorption, Technopathy, Electroreception
Description of Powers: The Cobalt Man is a living incorporeal mass of energy and electricity, as such his control and skill in the control of energy is profound and almost unmatched. Due to being a mass of energy, physical attacks have little effect on him, not to say that disrupting his form is impossible using physical attacks.
Due to being energy, it is extraordinarily easy for him to travel with in power lines and through power grids, he also able to travel through the skies if there is sufficient cloud cover.
His Power over energy has many applications, such as a limited ability to give his form a kind of solidity, enough that would allow him to interact with the environment if he needed, but not to any great degree, such as moving a heavy object
A part of him being energy is that he is highly capable of absorbing and retaining a vast amount of energy with in himself he can use later or in a pinch. Because while it is possible to generate his own energy, it is often not fast enough to meet to the requirements he needs in the heat of battle, and so he would dip into reserves.
Another asset Cobalt possesses the ability to control technology, such as electronic locks, computers, and some other advanced systems. While the computer's security can impede him, as with all 'determined hackers' it would all be, but a matter of time until he could access the information or break the security.
Adding on to this is his growing ability to receive electrical transmissions, such as radio, phone, and other wireless signals, now if the information is scrambled, or if he is not familiar with the code, obviously the information would be nothing but garbage. This also extends to a limited ability to sense collections of energy around him, such as batteries, electricity traveling through wires, and even people.
Abilities: A Great Mathematical Mind, Knowledgeable about Geography, Experienced Hacker
Weaknesses: If he is dispersed, it can take him a while to reform, adding to this, until he is reformed, his powers are reduced drastically, to the point where he can only muster to move before he reconstitutes fully.
There are many voices that continue to fight for dominance within the Cobalt Man, it takes a constant effort on his part to remain the dominate personality, on top of this, due to the energies moving around and through him, the Cobalt Man is always in horrible pain. All of this puts a massive strain of him, as such during times of weakness he can be influenced and more likely to succumb to base instincts.
The Cobalt Man's greatest desire is to regain a human form again, and often his search for a new body can override his otherwise sound mind. The hope of returning to a body is so strong, that often the promise of even some information can be a basis enough to do the others bidding, however, being proven to have lying is often a great way of invoking his wrath.
Short Biography: Cobalt Man can remember little of his life as Dexter Haplen, in fact he has difficulty recalling any events before his 'birth', despite remembering he was 31 at the time. He recalls the fact that his life was easier than most, not that he could latch on to specifics, however his experiences after his birth leads him to believe that he was a citizen of Roma before and during the War, the war not generally effecting his every day life.
His birth as the Cobalt Man was also clouded to him, he remembering more flashes and images between the blinding pain and the screaming in his head as he was trying to escape the facility he found himself in.
Fleeing into an exposed outlet, he disappeared into the power grid, spreading and leaping from line to line until he found himself in an under maintained power station in what seemed to be an empty town. Seeing the opportunity, The Cobalt Man used the town as a way to grow and expand on his powers and try to piece together his memories.
