Damage

Real Name:  Grant Emerson
Age:  17
Height:  Variable
Weight:  Variable
Hair:  Brown

Super Powers:  Damage is a living biochemical fusion reactor that builds up a power
charge through a unique hormonal process. This charge gives Damage heightened strength, durability, speed and reflexe--powers which grow in proportion to the energy charge he has built up. When Damage is unable to expend the charge he has created, the extra energy is directed outward in a massive concussive blast--an energy discharge Damage is only beginning to control.

First Appearance:   Damage #1

Origin:  Damage is the biological son of Al Pratt (the golden age Atom, father, deceased)and Mary Pratt (mother, deceased).  Damage gained his powers from a genetic infusion of the metahuman potential of the following heroes:

Flash I (Jay Garrick)
Green Lantern I (Alan Scott)
Wildcat (Ted Grant)
Hawkman I (Carter Hall)

Hawkgirl (Shiera Hall)
Hourman (Rex Tyler)
Black Canary (Dinah Lance)
Dr. Mid-Nite (Charles McNider)
Starman I (Ted Knight)
Miss America (Joan Dale)
Johnny Quick (Johnny Chambers)
J'onn J'onzz
Liberty Belle (Libby Lawrence)
Flash II (Barry Allen)
Aquaman
Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance)
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
Atom II (Ray Palmer)

After discovering his powers in a fight with Metallo, he leveled much of Marietta, Ga. and was ordered by the state to leave for good.  He briefly joined the New Titans, but never really seemed to be a part of the team since his adventures kept him away a lot.  He also was the power source responsible to recreating the universe from scratch in Zero Hour #0.
