Zenith Sum

Stephen Straub (a.k.a. Zenith Sum)

Heir and majority-holding CEO of the Zenith Corporation, Stephen Straub is the The International Rankings Association's Fifth Rank and only son of Sandy Straub, company founder and philanthropist. Despite being a biologically normal man with no exceptional traits (like his father), Stephen has an obligation to keep the new Straub legacy alive as a rocket-powered philanthropist and armored hero, donning the mantle of ZENITH SUM, a culmination of the tech and values that his company represents. He advertises himself and his efforts as the 2.0 effort of corporate accountability and philanthropy that his father started.
Zenith Sum is, in his own words, the cutting edge of heroism.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Stephen runs the CEO lifestyle of 4 hour intermittent rests at random based on schedule with a well-controlled dietary intake and regular exercises to keep himself in astronaut-level physical fitness to endure the rigors of his Ranker work. His bill of health is unquestioned, though he still has a few vices that keep him from being literally stainless.

Specialized Equipment

Zenith Sum's patented ZenSuit is a technological marvel of design and concept. Where Ergo Sum's original armored suit was bulky and imposing, Zenith Sum embodies sleek shape and efficiency in all parts. The suit is capable of sustained automated flight, high speed maneuvers, energy diffusion, and every kind of scanner that could fit in the opticals, in addition to being enough malleable plastic alloy and metal to armor Stephen from extreme heat, cold, and impact dangers. There's also adaptive vents built in to collect oxygen for controlled pressure circulation that gives him an extended amount of breath when submerged or in high altitudes. All in all, the ZenSuit makes Stephen an adaptive hero who can show up to any scene and work without discomfort, and that's before mention that it's also an arsenal of smart weapons and tools designed for the conscientious hero of the era.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

As a CEO, he automatically exerts a 'company first' image that he seeks to maintain and temper constantly for fear that the public will see him as Another Greedy Businessman.
In secret, he's wound up putting the IRA's well-being pretty much in-line with his own company's in value, wherein he believes both are organizations he needs to ensure the success of. The dual life nature of his role and position is highly straining.

Wealth & Financial state

The Straub family is often joked about universally as being proof that 'money is a superpower.' Corporate hegemony gives Stephen a strong edge in proving this true.
