Stereotypically
"tall dark and handsome", Kyle is the antithesis of his father, Nathan
Bates. He originally attended Stanford University, but dropped out
shortly before the Second Invasion. He spent most of his time racing
motorcycles in Arizona and Nevada. During the Second Invasion, he
was captured behind Visitor lines and placed in an Internment Camp - Diana
discovered his location and planned to use him to convince Nathan to find
and give up the Starchild. However, Kyle managed to escape from the
camp and became involved in the LA Resistance. Usually clad in a
black jacket and jeans, he managed to figure out Elizabeth's identity.
They share a mutual attraction, and Kyle has set himself up as her protector
and guardian. Kyle eventually becomes a valued member of the Resistance,
joining Ham Tyler in raids on Visitor installations and even on his father's
own munitions warehouse. When the Leader arrives and takes Elizabeth
with him, Kyle sneaks aboard the Leader's shuttle in a last-ditch attempt
to win her back.
