Hiroshima Shadow

The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki forced Japan's surrender and put an end to the Second World War. They also led to an increase in the number of mutations born in Japan in the postwar years. Rumors say some of these mutants disappeared into secret labs run by the Japanese, Russian, or American governments (or by organizations like SHADOW). Other more radical mutants supposedly ended up on Kaiju Island. A few modern-day Japanese mutants have become superheroes or villains.
Hiroshima Shadow claims to have been “born in the sun that flared over Hiroshima” on that day in 1945. Whether he is a post-war mutant or a being more like Dr. Metropolis—the radioactive and twisted spirit of a destroyed city—no one can say for sure. His features are obscured, and he has never provided details about his origins, so his actual identity is unknown. He first appeared shortly after Dr. Metropolis in 1993 and attempted to destroy Freedom City in a massive nuclear blast. He has fought the Doctor, Lady Liberty III, and the Freedom League on a few occasions since then, always striking at icons of America and American success.
Hiroshima Shadow nurses an overwhelming hatred toward Westerners, particularly Americans. He is fiercely proud of his Japanese heritage, but he also considers most modern Japanese “weaklings and cowards,” and lashes out at them as well. He wants to inflict as much mayhem and damage against the objects of his hatred as possible, and works with The Crime League toward that end. The money they gather matters little to him. Hiroshima Shadow seems to have a special enmity toward Dr. Metropolis, although he refuses to say why. He has some sense of honor, enough to want to confront his opponents openly, but little beyond that.
Hiroshima Shadow can generate and control radiation. He can project damaging beams of radiation from his hands or eyes and surround himself with an energy field hot enough to melt metal. He can apparently convert his body into radiation to pass through solid objects (except very dense materials like lead) and he can see a wider range of the electromagnetic spectrum. He apparently has no need to eat or breathe, although he does have to expose himself to certain radioactive isotopes that he “feeds” off of from time to time.
