Lucas Hill (Powersurge)

Lucas Hill, better known as Powersurge, is a former Australian superhero turned villain. Once he was one of the most formidable heroes of his nation, but Hill reveled too much in his power, and came to loathe the constraints that being a superhero placed upon him. Since abandoning his heroism, Powersurge has become a villain who participates in all manner of crimes, from robbery to grand theft auto to simple widescale destruction. Now, he often travels the world, selling his services as a mercenary to anyone who pays and provides him with a good time.

Biography
Lucas Hill was born in Australia, being one of the extremely rare few metahumans who developed Beta level powers inherently, rather than from a large I-3 dosage. His powers first manifested at the age of twelve, and the Australian government rapidly took notice of him, and he was recruited into a superhero training program. He was put on a youth superhero team called the Underhounds at the age of fifteen, during which he served for two years before going rogue. During his tenure as a superhero, Lucas was known for being a loose cannon, and suffered frequent censure for causing unnecessary damage when stopping crimes. He was largely allowed to remain on the team due to his tremendous power, which made him a tremendous asset and a potential liability if ever he went off the rails, which eventually of course he did.

After striking off on his own, Powersurge spent his time committing all manner of crimes, thrillseeking all the while. None of the attempts to capture or subdue him met with any success due to his overwhelming power. Eventually, he learned that selling his services to criminals and other shadowy organizations was a sure way to a good time, as well as earning extra cash, and has spent the last six years working as a mercenary for various factions across the globe, which has reduced the level of casual mayhem he used to output.
