Fried Freddy
Technology Electricity/Electricity Blaster (Infinity server)
Fred Beckstein's father had a few problems. First, he'd been fired from his job at a cybernetics research firm for ethics violations, insubordination, and just generally being an insane, whacked-out nutcase. Second, he had all these great ideas for new cybernetic enhancements, but without a job, he had no one to test them on. Luckily, he had an easy solution: his son. A couple of months later, Mr. Beckstein was in prison for illegal surgery and child abuse.
And frankly, Fred's dad got off easy. His son was now stuck with artificial arms and legs, an artificial heart, a CPU/sensory enhancement interface that took up over 60% of his skull, advanced electricity-generating weapon systems, and enough raw power coursing through his body to power a small office building for a month. He's very definitely out of his mind now, and no one has any idea how to get him back to normal. However, Fred is putting a good spin on his misfortune -- he's decided he's a superhero. He changes his super-name about three times a week, but everyone just calls him Fried Freddy. He spends his spare time running around the city, bellowing gibberish, frightening small children, and zapping all the bad guys he can find.
In time, Fred actually got bored with Paragon City and decided to move. He didn't know where he wanted to go, so he chose to leave his fate up to chance by throwing darts at a map of the United States. Unfortunately, Fred was no good at darts. His first selection was 30 miles off the East Coast, but he was a lousy swimmer. His second choice was, by chance, Paragon City, Rhode Island. His third dart hit Salt Lake City, Utah, and that's the one Fred stuck with. The folks in Utah aren't exactly sure what to make of Fred, but he seems happy enough.
