There are a lot of insect people in the world now. Some of them transformed into winged but still ostensibly human beings. Orlin Zehr was not so lucky. He transformed entirely into an insectoid creature.

Some of them gained the power to shrink. While Orlin definitely shrunk to tiny size. He didn't seem able to return to human size.

Both of these things made Orlin absolutely furious and so he used the one thing he had up on everyone to take the revenge he thought he was owed for his misfortune. For such a tiny being, Orlin is immensely strong. Stronger than any normal sized man. The tiny bug became a megalomaniac with the biggest case of Napoleon complex anyone has ever seen. He used his strength to bully and intimidate everyone he encountered, including a number of masked heroes, on his path to his grand goal of world domination.

When the media caught wind of this diminutive despot they dubbed him Dust-Mite. This mocking moniker only enraged Orlin even more but he wouldn't let them get the better of him. He decreed that instead of Dust-Mite, he would be known as Dust-Might!

The fact that these two words sounded exactly the same when spoken aloud seems entirely lost on Orlin and whenever anyone misspells his name he goes into a blinding rage.

Orlin's plans for global domination haven'y quite succeeded yet but it's surely only a matter of time before the world trembles before the mighty Dust-Might!

Thanks guys.

Here is Cody Bishop, a former student of the Institute. Cody has the ability to absorb energy and convert it into superstrength, invulnerability, and explosive punches. He was a popular student, friendly with everyone and focused on his studies. He was serious as a hero, staying on task and doing his best to save others. This led him to be one of the first students to be "killed" in the line of duty. The Institute was facing off a villain with an island lair. They defeated him, but the island was rigged with a nuclear device. Cody stayed behind and absorbed the blast, giving his friends time to escape. The blast was too much for him and the energy burned through him before releasing again. With the second blast viewed from the jets windows, he was declared dead.

But he did not die. After the energy overloaded him, he laid dying on the remains of the island. He heard a voice and the voice offered him a deal. It would save him if it could use his body to take out its enemies. Upon the condition that no innocents could come to harm and that neither party could attempt to remove the other, Cody took the demonic deal.

In a combination of shame at his deal with the devil and the demon's work, Cody did not reveal himself to his friends for seven years. Now that they know he is alive, Cody has become more active in the areas near the Institute, taking on magical foes for the Institute and for his demonic partner. He is still serious, but maybe because of the demonic influence, he has begun to enjoy combat, a wicked smile on his face as he takes on enemies.

Irish hero Will o' the Wisp...Or maybe he's a villain....I don't know. I don't really have any backstory worked out for this one yet.
