Author's Notes
Like with most super heros of his era, He had no powers. I decided to give him energy powers based on his hero name Nitro. I decided to make him of british origin to spice things up a bit. His marriage with The Wing was partially came from their crossover and the fact that Nitrowing is cool for a name; this will be the handle for their child.
