James Peterson Character in Earth | World Anvil

James Peterson

James Peterson (a.k.a. Flaming Nightmare)

James Peterson. My real name's Jimmy, but no one will ever know that other than my parents. I get the nickname thing from my dad. His name is Noah. He goes by Pete. My mom is Hannah, and I am essentially the hybrid of the two. My dad's hero name is Atom Smasher, named that because of his mace. He's only let me hold it once. I took down a tree. I was six. My real magic started manifesting when I was about 8 years old, though my parents claim I had powers from the moment I was born. My mom was Black Dove. An Illusionist. She's been retired as a hero for a while. She kinda stopped shortly after we moved to Virginia. I was born in Wisconsin, as were my parents. I'm an only child, but don't think my parents spoil me or anything. Being the son of two of the world's biggest heroes does not mean that everything is handed to me. It actually means the opposite. My dad made me my mace whenever I got into high school. I was able to pull off my dad's signature move, the Atomic Smash for the first time in a near-death situation. That son of a bitch will die. I don't know if I'll be the one to do it, but it will happen. Mark my words. So, that's about it. My mom used to give me nightmares purposefully when I was a kid. It was to toughen me up for the real world. "The real world is far more terrifying than anything you can find in your mind."
