Antonio Villanueva was a Colombian university student in Bogota when his older brother was gunned down by FARC narco-terrorists in Medellin. This prompted Antonio to join the Colombian military and the famed Lancero unit and the Anti-Narcotics Brigade. While out on a patrol searching for FARC members Antonio and his squad were attacked by the villain Warmonger who was employed as a FARC enforcer. Warmonger easily neutralized Antonio’s men but the stress of the attack triggered Antonio’s GorWol trait and his skin transformed into hardened crystal and he was able to generate crystal spears from his hands. They fought until Warmonger fled following military reinforcements. Antonio became a Colombian hero, taking the name Lancero in homage to his training and accepted a position in the Colombian military fighting against meta villains and cartels. Lancero has a special form of geokinesis, with some scientists labeling it crystalkinesis. He can turn his skin into a hard crystal-like substance. The crystal skin protects him from some kinetic and energy attacks. Lancero can also create crystal spears from his hands which he can either use for melee combat or throw for ranged combat. Lancero can fly but it is currently unknown how he does so. He may do it via telekinesis and if so then he may exhibit other telekinetic powers in the future.
