Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Richard Faraday was converted into electricity and then into a beam of plasma that ripped through an alien warship. The energies from this beam continued moving through space, scattered by the explosion. A portion of this energy soon passed through a cosmic cloud. This cloud reactivated something, it brought back Richard’s consciousness, leaving him a sentient electrical cloud.
Alive again, the hero made his way back home, entering various ships before coming close enough to earth. He raced down as a bolt of lightning and entered Eternity’s television. To Eternity’s surprise, his old friend who he thought dead, was now talking to him. He needed to help his friend so he put his technicians on making a body for Faraday. As he was now energy, Richard could occupy and control electronics, so controlling his new body was easy. He also had Eternity make him a second body, a more costumey body. This second body could be used to fight crime, as heroism was in his veins, even if now they ran voltage instead of blood.
Richard Faraday once fought crime as Dynamo, then he saved lives as a doctor, and he had saved the world at the cost of his body. Now he would once again do good as the hero Amp.
Thank you, that means a lot. The Faraday story is far from over. Here is Ben Faraday, Richard’s son and the new dynamo. When his dad retired, Ben took up his suit, as he had inherited his father’s powers and thankfully not his curse. As the new Dynamo, he has become the man his father wanted him to be, a strong hero who fights evil wherever it may turn up.
Richard Faraday was once the hero Dynamo, the electrical Ace. As he got older and had a family, he retired from heroics and went back to his pre-hero job of being a doctor, a great one too. He ended up working to save the lives of his former comrades at the Hero Hospital. His abilities allowed him to work as a living AED, in order to keep his patients alive. His hard work eventually led to his placement as the head of the hospital, where he worked alongside Eternity to ensure the best protection for heroes in the city. In the past year, he found out his abilities had a cost. In order to make his electricity, his body would energize a cell and then amplify and convert that energy to electricity. Now a cell here and there did no harm, but as time went along, the energization became more unstable. It wouldn’t stop when he stopped making charge, it would just energize more and more, leading to little shocks and pains. The past year, the energization became worse. The chain reactions became visibly larger, now the old doctor convulsing as the electricity arced off of him. He was too dangerous to stay in the hospital so he found a replacement and he left.
When the beam hit, the space battle raged on and the heroes boarded the ship, but they also had a land plan. There was a laser left over from an alien ship, a laser that might be able to pierce and destroy the space cruiser. The problem was that there was nothing powerful enough to power the cannon. That is where Faraday comes in. He knew he was dying and he knew that if he pushed his body, it would create a massive amount of energy, large enough to power the cannon and save the earth. So when the alien beam ravaged the city, Eternity and Faraday, along with his son, the new dynamo, were at the cannon. Richard told his son he loved him and then made him leave as he hooked himself up.
Energy jumped off of him in a massive scale and into the cannon. Eternity aimed the cannon, his friend’s screams weighing on his mind. And as one beam destroyed the city, another left it straight into the heart of the warship. It ripped across the ship, incinerating aliens and it stopped just short of bisecting it. Eternity looked over and saw only singed clothing where his friend once was, Faraday had given up his life to destroy the ship.
Alpha, who was on the ship, was thrown as the ship was impacted and he looked in horror as he began to fall onto the beam from below. He pressed his teleporter and he left the ship, though his arm got caught in the beam as he teleported away. He reappeared into the teleporter ship, safely out of the battle, his bloody and now unusable arm laying on the ground. He reached into his pocket and grabbed a detonator. While he had been on the ship, he and his allies had planted bombs and now they were to finish the job Faraday started. The dozen explosions finally split the warship in twain and caused the latter end to explode, irreperably damaging the front half. The surviving half jettisoned its remaining attack pods to the planet, before it too exploded.
On the planet, heroes and villains alike fought off the aliens leaving the attack pods. Many died, but the aliens were defeated. The ship had arrived and it had also been destroyed, humanity ready to live another day.
The alien’s attack plan is not just to destroy the major population centers from above, but also to attack the remnants of these metropolises with their own troops. Huge cylinders are shot from the ship and they crash into various major cities, aliens pouring out in droves to destroy and conquer, all being met with human response.
While the city was being destroyed and the battle raged on overhead, several strategies were in place to take down the ship. One part involved teleporting heroes and a few villains onto the warship to destroy or at least hinder its attack. One of these heroes sent up there is Alpha, who is currently fighting the aliens in a space suit.
Thanks and here is another character caught in the crossfire. Burst could manipulate energy, control it, alter it and amplify it, making him one of the most powerful mutants on the planet. He worked as a hero, but that changed when terrorists got hold of a nuclear bomb. Burst was sent to retrieve it along with other heroes and unfortunately, it detonated. Burst used all of his concentration and power to contain the blast, saving thousands, if not millions. This act of heroism had an adverse effect on him. Once the nuclear energies cleared, Burst crackled with energy, energy he could not control. Pure energy flew in every direction, causing pure chaos. BSH’s best scientists worked to make him a containment suit. A normal life now impossible, Outburst was born.
The warship’s beam ripped across the city, destroying blocks in seconds, killing anything in its path. Outburst was escorting people towards a portal when a beam crashed through the block next to them, heading straight towards them. The hero flew into the beam and he concentrated, holding the energy up, away from the ground. The energy ripped into him, through his suit, but the beam remained above the citizens. It eventually passed over them and they were saved, but once again, Outburst had been affected by this extreme use of his powers. He fell, his unconscious body hurtling towards the ground.
Houdini, a teleporting hero, was helping to rescue those caught behind the beam. He teleported to a relatively untouched area, a bubble of no damage, when he saw the man falling. The man, naked except for a few pieces of armor, was falling towards the ground, energy rippling off of his body. Houdini teleported and caught him, before teleporting him back to somewhere safe. He looked at this fallen man and recognized him. It was burst, human again. The effort of keeping the beam off of the innocents had reverted him back to his human self, just as saving lives had turned him into energy. Houdini dashed off again, finding Amalgam, bloody, but alive and saving others trapped in the rubble.
It has arrived and it is within firing distance. Its beam, if it was at full power, could destroy a city in a second, the blast of energy cascading out, destroying the city (a la independence day). However, the massive firefight in space has had the warship’s laser at half power, as they need their shields against the various beams and blasts of the small fighters around them. The beam is now smaller and it does not cascade as much, now only destroying several blocks in its path, instead of cities. The warship fires its beam and it begins to rip through Aeolus, everyone trying to save as many lives as possible. Magicians have evacuated citizens into a pocket dimension and various heroes are helping people evacuate.
Amalgam was trying to clear out a parking structure when he got trapped. The beam destroyed everything around him, sending him falling to the ground, his metal form being the only thing keeping him alive. His body felt like it was being crushed under the heat and energy of the beam, he felt his skin burning as the metal ripped away. But then it was gone, the beam had passed him over and he had somehow survived. With that thought, the hero lost consciousness,
