Flareburst

Flareburst is an otherwise average person, aside from the fact that he can absorb, produce, and manipulate most forms of energy. The type of energy he will produce is typically whatever he has the most of in him at the moment. Being human means that, although powerful, he is still very much mortal and can become overly charged with energy, potentially exploding from it. That being said, he can use his power to regenerate both himself and teammates, create barriers, platforms, etc, and rocket ship around really fast (not to be confused with flight). Additionally, from overuse of photon-based energy and radiation, he is immune to cancer.

Origins
Jehoshaphat Mark-Anthony Prescott was born on October 31, 19xx. As single parent, his mother (an outcast scientist) seized the opportunity to finally have a live test subject and, over the course of 5 years, spliced his genes and pumped him full of various types of radiation. This constant barrage of mutagens and his mother's tinkering caused his body to mutate rapidly, granting him the uncanny ability to adapt to any environment within only a few seconds, even to the point of producing necessary components to aid the environment he was placed into. For years his mother and the testing was all he knew, kept by her from the outside world until his 10th birthday when, due to a power failure from his mother's negligence to heed a storm warning, her lab was destroyed when all of the small, individual energy reactors had a simultaneous meltdown. The resulting blast leveled the private island lab, killed his mother, and caused his body to try and adapt to every type of energy at once, severely straining his genes. Lucky for him, his mother's fresh normal people genes were pressed with his in the explosion, also affecting his natural adaptability, creating a singularity of power that brought the rampant energy to peace, containing the explosion on the island. The force did, however, fling his body several kilometers to the south, landing him in the top of a lighthouse near a busy harbor. After gaining consciousness, he figured out how to heal, stumbled down and out of the lighthouse, and took residence in the local port town's orphanage. For the following 10 years, he toyed with his altered powers and learned about what he can do today from experimenting and several comic book-esq hi-jinx. He recently moved to the big city in hopes of adventure and broadening his horizons. On a side note, he hates his full name because A). mom was a bitch and B). It's retarded, so he is reluctant to hear or talk about it.
