Biography

An African man from the tribe of Kalenjin in Kenya, renowned for producing many of the world’s best long distance runners. As a child he loved to run and trained hard to become another in the long line of Kenyan runners. Before he was recruited to Thunder he had won two Olympic gold medals and three world championships. He also held the record time in the Boston marathon and was hailed the best runner of his generation.  Riches through his running and sponsorships lead to a marriage with two children. Thunder decided to recruit him by faking a positive drug test and destroying his life. He was given the chance to run again and make his family proud by joining the United Nations sanctioned T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents. He accepted despite use of the power suit shortening his life span.

  1. this guy reminds me of carl lombly in mantis. it’s kinds cool, his suit having some form of temporal ability. surely a way can be worked out where he doesn’t have a shortened life span due to usage of his suit.

  2. If they don’t fix it to where he can maintain his speed and life then this character is a waste!
