| - Hoshea was born an ordinary Canadian boy, a little shyer than most, but ordinary nonetheless. He attended an ordinary school with other children his age, unknowing of the dormant power inside him. It was one day a schoolyard bully sporting a lighter and a can of aerosol spray that Hoshea discovered his talent. To elaborate, the bully set Hoshea aflame with the insidious device, only for Hoshea to shrug it off and escape unscathed. Hoshea was not the only one to discover this however; by way of the school principal, his single father, a down-on-his-luck investment broker, found out about the curious incident.

| - Bipedal salamander, complete with webbed hands, feet and a tail. His face lacks any human qualities, fully resembling his amphibious namesake. His eyes are an exception, as they have a vague intelligence about them. He usually wears onyx plate pauldrons and legplates of manageable thickness. The armour itself has gold trim. His entire body, orange in colour, shines as if wet, and is covered in dark grey speckles.

| - Hoshea was born an ordinary Canadian boy, a little shyer than most, but ordinary nonetheless. He attended an ordinary school with other children his age, unknowing of the dormant power inside him. It was one day a schoolyard bully sporting a lighter and a can of aerosol spray that Hoshea discovered his talent. To elaborate, the bully set Hoshea aflame with the insidious device, only for Hoshea to shrug it off and escape unscathed. Hoshea was not the only one to discover this however; by way of the school principal, his single father, a down-on-his-luck investment broker, found out about the curious incident. A northern branch of VIPER, the superterrorist criminal organization, also witnessed the fiery confrontation by way of spy cameras. Extremely interested by the young boy’s ability, several VIPER scientists, posing as medical doctors, approached Hoshea’s father with a proposition; a few harmless tests on the boy in exchange for a hefty sum of money. Mr. McTaggert agreed wholeheartedly, as did his son. It was then the VIPER agents swept Hoshea into their lab, silencing his father and erasing any sort of evidence of the boy’s existence prior to the kidnaping. It was there, after a series of less-than-harmless tests upon the grief-stricken Hoshea, the scientists injected him with an odd serum, supposedly altering his DNA to make his body adaptable to any sort of climate and multiplying his inherent ability to absorb heat energy tenfold. Once that was completed, the VIPER lackeys revealed their plan; to send Hoshea into the depths of the earth itself, where he would go dormant and absorb hundreds of terra watts of geo-energy from the centre of the earth. Afterwards, he would return to Earth and be used as a living battery for the rest of his life. The plan had gone swimmingly, the battery-boy being launched into an active volcano without so much as a sideward glance from the National Guard. It was then Hoshea, in his little pod, rested for ten weeks, absorbing the heat energy from the magma around him. It was then the experiment went haywire. Hoshea’s body began to change, adopting the appearance of his namesake, a salamander. His face elongated into a dragon-esque snout, while his skin turned orange, speckled all over with black spots. His hands and feet, whist turning into animalistic clawed semi-fins began secreting a sticky substance to cope with the immense heat. He also grew a tail, and his legs became digitigrade in appearance. He also grew a pair of gills on his neck, a safety measure of sorts to see to it that Hoshea does not die of smoke-inhalation. When the scientists came to collect their quarry, they were thoroughly surprised and disgusted. The lead doctor was about to denounce the venture as a failure when they were all vapourized where they stood, reduced to ashes among ashes. Hoshea had awakened. unknown to his tragic mutation, he had merely assumed he was capable of releasing heat waves on command. Then, he saw his reflection in a glassed rock; a monstrous being, not human or animal, something in between. Disgusted by his appearance, he hijacked the late scientists’ transport van, using the auto-homing capabilities in the van to make his way back to the lab, where he successfully gutted the place of clothing and supplies before reducing it to smoldering rubble. Realizing that his native Canada was far too cold for him, Hoshea made his way to the warmer climes Millennium City, where he resided in the sewers. Out of sheer boredom and need of something to occupy his mind other than the atrocities he had been victim to, he practiced his newfound abilities day and night. Due to his new physique, Hoshea’s natural speed and dexterity were enhanced vastly. In an outward example of extreme planning on his part, Hoshea forged a letter from his deceased parents, opting him into the illustrious Academy for Superpowered Youths. This attempt was was discovered within thirty seconds of Ms Swanson's background check. However the ADACEMY, decided to accept him in any event.
