Catalyst

Catalyst

Background

William Robinson was a KenCo custodian who was mopping the floors of KenCo HQ one night when he got really thirsty. Rather than using a water fountain, like a normal person, he decided to look for a non-toxic looking liquid so he could get superpowers. William found a red vial labeled “Philosopher's Stone” and thought, “Ooh! Intelligence booster!” So, desperate for hydration and superpowers, he drank it... and promptly had a seizure.
When he woke up, William found that he now had white hair, red skin, and yellow eyes. Shocked, he clutched the handrail... and it immediately melted into a puddle of water. William was astonished. Testing his powers, he thought of wood, touched the other handrail, and surprise, surprise, it turned into wood.
Now that he had superpowers, William sprang into action stopping supervillains with INSA's help as Catalyst. Or at least he tried to. After numerous superheroic failures, he decided he would take on the Alliance of Evil by himself! This was how he found out he couldn't transmute living things.
After being bailed out by INSA, William thought, “What was I complaining about with custodian work?” and became a custodian, this time, at INSA.

Personality

William is a man who just wants to be left alone so he can mop. However, when he feels like interacting with the students, he has a one-liner relevant to any scenario.

Quote

“It was a pit of liquid nitrogen, Mr. Vulcan. Now, it's a pit of root beer.”
