#189: The Spark

     Now, in the spirit of Ant-Man, here is a new super-powered character: Roy Jerrick: the Spark. A revolution always starts with a spark that catches fire and becomes an inferno, whether that spark is Katniss or Ylvis. But when it comes to the superheroes of the JC-Verse, that all literally started with the Spark. There are many conflicting stories of how Roy acquired his heat wave manipulation powers. Some say he was a spaceman from the Sun, the others say he was part of some sort of experiment by the big boys up in the U.S. Government. Regardless of how it happened, after he did his first public act of heroism in 1952, all the powered people of the world came/flew/teleported out of the woodwork and began their mass mission of justice. He was a trailblazer, and even after his Earhart-esque disappearance in the '70s, his spirit still lives on in the bazillions who go out there everyday trying to make things right. We need one of those "I was a _____ before it was cool" shirts for him.
