Personality

While often times he is quite jovial, This mutant seems distant . With the losses that he has sustained over a century, he has grown quite anti social. His work within Storm Haven keeps most of his attention these days. He is loyal to a fault, those people that he allows close, he treats and keeps as close as family.

He has been seen with a new hero known as Vivacious Fiasco. (Pictured with him here) and they have become very close.


He has since turned his gaze towards New Detroit, what some folks are now calling "Millennium City". There he has joined a research facility known as Riverhaven to further his study of the mutant genome.

Powers

William "Kurse" Darkstone derives his powers from the planet itself. His mutant physiology allows him to tap into the electromagnetic field of the earth, and manipulate the energy that it creates. This energy field allows him to almost mimic other certain abilities at time.

Electromagnetic Manipulation

The basic and most fundamental outlet of his power is the ability to generate very powerful static currents within the electromagnetic field and release them in different ways. From simple arcs of electricity, to forming kinetic and static discharges from his hands. He has been in contact with the energy field long enough, that he now can create and manipulate these electrical currents into cages and energy fields.

Energy Absorption

His unique power allows him to actually siphon energy from those around him. while the range that he can actually effect those is quite short, within a 15 foot radius around him, the effect can be quite devestating. He has been known to drain people to the point of unconsciousness.

Radiation Emission

His ability to manipulate the earth's gravity fields, causes a strange reaction that emmits a unstable radiation. The radiation was almost nondetectable until lately. With the knowledge of this side effect, he has learned to bend these radiation emissions to certain desired effects. He is still learning to control this new evolution in his powers.

Minor Mental Control

In his studies of the way gravity wells and electromagnetic current reacts within a person's makeup, he has learned to release synapses within a person's brain to cause trauma. These mental blasts give an edge in battle. While not as powerful as his electromagnetic blasts, to those that are more susceptible to mental attacks, they add a new weapon to his arsenal.

Flight

He has been able to manipulate the electromagnetic field to allow him a simulated flight ability. While not as quick as some "natural" flyers, he has been known to get up to 50 MPH.

Regeneration

He has a hyper regeneration. This is at such a level, that he has been able to heal from very severe wounds. He has even regrown his right arm when it was completely destroyed. This ability has also slowed his aging. It has been projected that it could prolong his life for 700-800 years, if not longer. This is a secondary mutation, a strong trait within the Darkstone Line, as his brother and his brother's son have shown the same version of regenerative ability. While William's and Tolliver's are quite powerful, Gavin Darkstone's seems to have gotten the lionshare of the genepool.

Abilities

Through the years, he has spent many hours in classrooms and in science labratories studying the genome effect. He has since earned a double doctorate in BioPhysics and in Chemistry. He also has a PhD in Medicine, though he never has taken a position as a doctor. He uses his science background to help further studies into the mutant phenomenon that is happening all across the globe.

Weaknesses

His greatest weakness is mental instability. He has a deep fear of being alone and loosing those close to him. You will rarely find him without some company at hand. Physically, while he can regenerate from any wound, his body is not built for the rigors of a great strain. He will succumb to exhaustion before pain, but he has been known to collapse under great physical strain.

History

Coming Soon!!

Known Adversaries

The 5th Column, responsible for the death of his parents and sister, have been his sworn enemy since his mutation. With the fall of the 5th column, Crey Industries ,as well as the Council, have since concentrated their resources to toppling Founder's Falls' greatest hero. First they tried to attack him physically, now they wage a war in the field of business. Their last attempt at a hostile takeover of Storm Haven nearly bankrupted Kurse. He has since begun rebuilding, but holds both groups as being responsible. His brother Tolliver, as well as the Shadow group that he travels with, also plague him from time to time.

Known Affiliates

Currently a member of the Legion of Freedom, where he serves as one of their leaders, heading up the Special Operations unit of the Legion. He is an honorary Member of The Peacekeepers. He once served with the Liberty League, and still calls them allies. While he hasn't seen many members of the Urban Legends, he will help any of their members if called upon.
