The Grand OC! [CONTEST XXX: HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEN]
RE: The Grand OC! [CONTEST SEVENTEEN: MARX! SUBMISSIONS WELCOME!]
Name: Gene "The Generator" Rator
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Text Color: An electric shade of yellow (who cares if it's not readable, if I were actually using this guy in a battle I'd pick something else)
Biography: Hyperbole City has a wide array of superpowered humans. Some were born with their abilities, others were empowered in freak accidents. Still others actively sought to give themselves powers, be it through mystic rituals, genetic engineering, or other means. And others still had no powers of their own, but either found or created objects that could let them stand up against full-strength superpowers.
Gene Rator was born an ordinary human, the worst accident he'd been in was a car crash with no serious injuries, and he didn't know the first thing about magic or science. And he was just smart enough to realize that messing around with those things with how little he knew would just be asking for trouble.
But he wasn't content to settle for being ordinary, despite all that. So he settled for the simplest option: breaking into a tech company and stealing something. He wasn't sure what he was looking for, but he figured he'd know it when he saw it.
And he did. It was hard to miss - a massive generator, towering over the rest of the room. Conveniently, someone had thought to put wheels on it.
You might think it wouldn't be easy wheeling a huge generator out of a high-security building unnoticed, and you'd be right. However, it turns out to be even harder for an average security team to stop someone wheeling a huge generator our of the building when they've figured out what it does when you hook up a laser pointer to it.
Not being a creative sort, Gene had already declared himself "The Generator" by the time he reached the exit. But that was the end of his exploits in Hyperbole City, because he and the generator vanished moments later.

Weapons and Abilities: Gene is just an average human. He grabbed a costume for his theft because style is important for this sort of thing, but it doesn't really have an electrical theme to it or anything, because he didn't know exactly what he'd end up stealing. He's not stupid, but he is a bit simpleminded. Complex plans aren't his thing.
The stolen generator is basically one big power source. Specifically, according to the manual that was lying next to it, it's designed to generate a high-voltage pulse from a low-voltage direct current supply. Gene doesn't know exactly what that means, but he does know that pretty much any electrical device he plugs into it will get ridiculous output - and since he's from a world of superhero physics, it won't burn out from overcharging or anything like that.
The generator is technically mobile, but not very. It's got wheels, but it has to be manually dragged around, and considering how heavy it is, that's a pretty slow process. Gene was thinking about plugging a fan into it and seeing if he could propel it with wind power, but he hasn't had the chance.

Description: Gene is a pretty ordinary looking guy, not very muscular but not exactly scrawny either. Without his costume (which is basically just some dark purple clothes and a mask), he wouldn't stand out much in a crowd, a fact which has annoyed him quite a bit.
Gene craves attention, and with a massive generator that he could use to power, say, a megaphone, he's likely to get quite a lot of it. He doesn't especially care what sort of attention it is, he just doesn't want to be thought of as "ordinary".
Unsurprisingly, he tends to be a bit of a jerk when dealing with other people.
