Unless it’s to put on his prosthetic leg, Charles Walker does not kneel. He does not bend. He does not comply. He’s much better at breaking—rules, expectations, and anyone who threatens the weak and innocent. Every scar, every limp in his step, is a promise kept to protect those like him—the outcast, the targeted, the Electi—a promise to keeping his world safe, even when the world has given him nothing in return.

Charlie once believed in law and order. He once wore Detroit’s badge with pride. But the system Charlie tried to fix broke him. The God he worshipped forsook him. The country he loved hated him. The people he trusted most were taken from him. And yet he survived. Adapted. Overcame. He carried his burdens with a newfound resolve: to never stop his fight for justice, against organized corruption and hate. Not out of revenge, but to make sure no one else was left behind the same way he was.

Now a captain at ERA Security, Charlie finally has something he’d never thought he’d find: a community worth protecting. He leads by example, always the first in and the last out of every operation. He’s not looking to be anyone’s hero, but he’s loyal, unwavering, and always ten steps ahead. He’ll run through hell and back just so nobody else has to, and probably come out cold. And if you’re ever in danger, there’s no one better to have at your side.

Charlie’s ability is to change the physical state of water. By being in physical contact with any body of water, water ice, or water vapor, he is able to transmute the state of matter to either gas, liquid, or solid and back on command. The overall effectiveness of this process is reliant on the chemical purity of the body of water’s composition.

Charlie’s ability has no cooldown; it can activate whenever he chooses to. However, the process for this is slow, and can take up to several minutes to freeze or evaporate a body of water equivalent to his mass.
