Biography
Kid Crescent is the former sidekick to the Boston based superhero The Crescent Watcher. The two fought crime together for years before a split began to form between the two and eventually drove the teen hero to strike out on his own in a different city entirely. Relocating to Paragon City in hopes of finding himself, Kid Crescent quickly found allies in the form of the Teen Phalanx, an organization of like minded teen heroes.
Personality
Kid Crescent is a quick witted young man who seems to find enjoyment in awkward humor. Known to spout wisecracks in combat and muse on silly or superfluous topics outloud, he likes to project the image of the dorky jokester. Truthfully, Kid Crescent is one of the most dedicated and hardworking teen heroes around and has often been known to forget (or perhaps intentionally ignore) meetings and social engagements to work on a particularly complicated case. This has led to KC having an awkward relationship wiht some of his more lighthearted and less serious team members. whether or not they notice is another matter, as he does try his best to remain busy and focused on his objectives.
