Jetwing (Jet-wing)
Mason Valentin Matthews
Mason was born and raised in the Upper Madison district of New Cordell. His mother, Maria, is a hardworking nurse who immigrated from Acapulco, Mexico, and his father, Daniel, is a school teacher with Spanish heritage. Growing up, Mason was always a tinkerer, taking apart gadgets to see how they worked and putting them back together. He developed an early interest in robotics and engineering, often spending hours building models and robots in his room. His parents were always supportive of his interests, and his mother's stories about her life in Mexico cultivated a sense of heroism and a desire to help others in him.
A tech savvy young man in his third year of high school. Mason idolizes superheroes, especially his personal hero Dialgo. Following in his footsteps, Mason studies robotics, programming and electrical/mechanical engineering. On one fateful day, during a field trip to a cryogenics lab, Mason came into contact with an experimental and unstable cryogenic gas. This gas, through putting Mason in a fatal situation, activated his meta-genes.
Once activated, Mason pursued the life of being a hero, finally being able to truly follow the path of his idol, Dialgo. Mason, now Jetwing, quickly becomes a popular hero who grows from a locality into being one of the premier faces of New Cordell. Though his emergence seems to have caused a snowball effect, in the bloom of new supervillains in the city as well.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Mason is of average build, though he continues to work on his physique.
Special abilities
- Ice/Frost Emission - Once his meta-gene was activated, Mason discovered that he had the ability to emit Ice from his extremities. Capable of burst and blasts, Mason can quickly change his surroundings into his own frozen wasteland. Though it appears the ice freezes from the outside in, keeping organic material preserved inside of it, making his ice blasts non lethal.
- Due to his rapid drop in body temperature, Mason emits an aura of frost that negatively affects the world around him when not contained. This rapid a sever drop in temperature is capable of lethally freezing organic material if left in his vicinity when unconfined and at critical levels. His coldest recorded temperature was -300 F and dropping before being contained.
- Genius level Intellect - Mason, already prodigious in his understandings or robotics and mechanical engineering, has improved drastically and greatly under the mentorship of Dialgo. From using hardware and computer store parts to make his equipment to being able to manufacture his own superior material on a whim.
- Flight - Using the robotic wings of his suit, Mason is capable of short range or long range flight (Dependent on which suit he is using.), as well as supersonic flight with his V3 suit.
- Super Strength - With the artificial muscle layer built into his V3 suit, Mason is capable of emulating low levels of Super strength, capable of moving upwards of 1.5 tons with great effort.
Apparel & Accessories
Mason's style is casual and comfortable, reflecting his practical and laid-back personality. He has a particular fondness for cargo shorts, appreciating the utility and versatility they offer. He usually pairs them with graphic tees featuring his favorite superheroes or robotics-themed designs.
In cooler weather, he opts for cargo pants in earthy tones, hoodies, and lightweight jackets. His footwear of choice is typically sturdy sneakers, suitable for both his daily high school life and the occasional quick transformation into his superhero persona, Jetwing.
For accessories, he often wears a watch – not just a fashion statement but a multi-tool gadget of his own design. He also carries a messenger bag or a backpack, which not only carries his school materials but also houses his tech gadgets he tinkers with in his free time.
Specialized Equipment
- Containment Suit - Mason’s underlying suit he is required to wear at all times to regulate his body temperature. The containment suit is modular and allows itself to be constantly updated and refined without making a new model. Taking the shape of compression wear, This allows Mason to take it anywhere without suspicion. The suit is designed to respond to an internal change in temperature within milliseconds and to maintain a body temperature of at least 90 degrees
- “Cryonic” - Mason’s first trial Hero suit. Though the suit was originally designed to emit his powers, Mason greatly underestimated his Meta abilities. Without the containment suit, or a “containment procedure”, his body temperature dropped well below what he thought was theoretically possible and rendered the suit FUBAR.
- Jetwing V1 - Using his prior mistakes and his prior forays in this venture, Mason created this suit that was capable of channeling his powers. Unfortunately, This suit, much like the Cryonic suit, is not capable of withstanding the absurd cold his body emits once his powers reach critical instability. Currently disassembled and used as a base template for future renditions.
- Jetwing V2 - The first suit made by Mason under the tutelage of Dialgo. With access to higher quality components an material, Mason is finally able to make a suit that is capable of withstanding the cold he is capable of emitting. Though prolonged use can damage the joints and inner mechanisms of the suit when it is in it’s “emitter mode”. Once Mason’s temperatures reach critical levels, the suit is designed to auto switch into “containment mode”, where it emulates the effect of the containment suit. This suit is finally capable of Long range flight.
- Jetwing V3 - Jetwings current suit, and the final suit he made under Dialgo’s tutelage. Many of the quality of life upgrades from the V2 suit are kept and further improved upon. This suit passively maintains Mason’s temperature, prolonging field usage and activities. With a further improvement on the wings and flight systems of the suit, Mason is capable of supersonic flight. Using the artificial muscle (A first for the suit lines) built into the suit, Mason is capable of low-level super strength. Finally, the suit is capable of a bypass mode, reopening the emitter points when the suit has switched to containment mode.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Bryce Tiller - Mason’s best friend. Mason and Bryce have been practically inseparable throughout their life and push each other to better themselves without limit. Though they hardly keep secrets, Mason harbors guilt for hiding his identity as a Hero from his friend.
Manuel Corazon - Better known by his public identity, Dialgo. Manuel kept a close eye on the beginnings of Jetwing’s hero career. Very early on, Manuel easily uncovered his secret identity and took the young hero under his wing. Under his idol’s mentorship, Mason has flourished, greatly excelling at engineering and robotics, using these greatly tempered skills to further refine his suits and equipments.
Daisy Simmons - A Freshman in Corazon East high school who quickly grows attached to Mason.
Relationships
Due to Mason’s highly volatile and unstable abilities, he designed and wears a containment suit daily that is presented as a compression outfit. This is designed to regulate his body temperature, as without it, his body temp will continuously drop as long as he is conscious until he becomes a liability to any living organism around him.
