Veteran Sidekick Now Solo

Former sidekick who left a mentor and now operates solo with an unnamed identity. Dispositioned as Ambivalent Mentor to the team: feels compassion mixed with envy when seeing young...

Stood one step behind a bigger name for years, then grew up and walked. Wears a costume of his own now, a name nobody's placed yet, and a grudge against his old mentor he'd rather not air in public. Looks at the team and sees himself five years back — compassion some days, envy on the others.

Appearance: A lean young adult in a home-stitched costume built from spare parts of an old sidekick uniform, mismatched colors that haven't settled into a brand yet. Sharp eyes, a guarded stance, jaw set like they're daring someone to ask about the redesign.
