HISTORY
(-20) He is the son of Silhouette and Bandit, born in Chicago. He inherited his mother's ability to 
 tap into the shadows, and gained a few new one. His eyes looked like an insect's eye from his birth 
 and he always easily escaped from any baby-cage through his excellent ability to climb any surface 
 or his huge jumps. Thanks to this, his childhood was filled with bruises, until he manifested his 
 insect-like coating, which protected him and boosted this abilites. And not at last, the insect hide 
 gave him new powers - the shadowshaping. His mother teached him everything she knew about this but it
 was soon revealed that they had similar abilites connected with the shadows, but not the same source.
 He can form, create and control shadows with great agility, but not darkforce as his mother.

While he learned acrobatics, martial arts and powers at home, he was succesful at school, too, especially
 in drawing and biology. He created a manga webcomics for his own fun, so he was suprised when many other
 people liked it. however this remained a hobby for him, a free-time activity. his main goal was to be a
 geneticist, and re-create extinct animals, so he learned hard, and made connections with universities and
 laboratories, to create a stabil base for his future life. He has difficulties for sure, because of his
 unnatural eyes, but with his brilliant reason he worked through this many times.

After High School he moved to New York, to the Empire State University, to continue learning.
  When he became 20, he became a masked hero, as his parents did before...
