Reputation None. Brand new to this century. Biography Tel Vole was born on the planet Earth in the 31st century. Though his parents were normal humans, he is a mutant with the power to mentally control gravitons. Like many young boys with superhuman powers, he imagined one day growing up to be a member of the Legion of Superheroes. He studied hard and graduated his primary and secondary schooling ahead of schedule. He then applied to, and was accepted at, the Legion Academy where he was trained to use his powers and learn teamwork. He was a serious young man and very earnest about his responsibilities. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, he was often dragged along by the more impetuous and frivolous Academy members as he felt an obligation to make sure they didn't get into trouble. At the Academy, he met a recruit by the name of Jedidiah Rikane, also called Power Boy. They started dating and eventually married. Jed was an older cadet so graduated before Tel but was rejected by the Legion and ended up joining the Science Police as a guard on Takron-Galtos, Tel remained at the Academy but was disillusioned when he witnessed another cadet sacrifice his life. He realized that life is too short to give up happiness and left to join his husband as a member of the Science Police as well. Over the next couple years, they realized that they married too soon and decided to end their marriage though they remained friends. It was on a mission for the Science Police that he was thrown back into time. Confronting a memeber of the Legion of Super Villains, there was a massive explosion centered around a superdense material. In the same exact spot, at the same exact time, on the same exact day, only 975 years apart, events in the 21st century opened a rift in time. The two events combined to throw Tel out of his century and into that of the Titans'.

Character Details Personality While he has his serious side, Tel has learned that life is too short to not do what you can to be happy. Abilities Combat Skills The Legion doesn't believe in relying just on one's powers. Every cadet is trained to fight in case one's powers are blocked or ineffective for some reason. This applies even more as a member of the Science Police who don't necessarily have powers to fall back on. Tel's a skilled combatant and trained in the use of projectile and energy weapons as well (though granted they're 31st ones). Piloting Like most people, Tel is able to pilot air cars and other small personal use craft. He's also been trained to pilot smaller spacecraft used by the Space Police to go from planetary system to system. He should be able to pick up the more primitive vehicular skills without too much problem. Flight By manipulating gravity, Tel can fly and take others with him. While he can certainly negate gravity just for others, his control over their speed and direction is minimal. Speed and height is only limited by how much stress the human body is able to take and whether they can breath. He can though use his force field to trap oxygen in a s hell aroun himself. Gravity Manipulation Tel has the ability to mentally control gravitons and thus gravity. He can affect himself or anything/anyone within a few hundred feet of him. He can completely negate gravity or, on the other end of the scale, increase it so such a degree that an object would produce its own gravitational field strong enough to attract objects and even energy. As a rough rule, he can probably affect something the size of a medium sized jet without much effort but a greater size/mass just means more time to increase/decrease the number of gravitons. Whether something is close enough is more important. Graviton Projection Tel is able to fire concussive blasts of gravitational energy either as area effect explosions or more focused beams. He can control how powerful they are and how large an area they effect. In general, most normal materials can't withstand the upper end of his normal efforts. The same ability lets him create force fields to deflect or block things directed at him. Given it's gravitational energy, the more mass something has, the less chance it has of getting through his force fields. That means energy attacks are more effective and require much almost his undivided concentration to stop the truly powerful ones (since even energy has mass). It can also be used to enclose him in a bubble of oxygen to allow him to fly at high speeds or in space or underwater. Advantages Science Police Communicator This highly advanced communication device consists of a tiny throat mike and earplug. It's capable of receiving all communication frequencies and transmitting without actually needing to vocalize so it works even in airless environments. It also functions as a universal translator. Disdvantages Stranger In A Strange Land Tel is from the 31st century. Even though he's from Earth, everything about it is so different. So… primitive. And the technology to get him home just does not exist. Reliably. Not to mention, he officially doesn't exist in this century. The Clothes On His Back It's not just culture shock that's a problem for unexpected time travelers. Tel literally has nothing but what he's wearing. No money, no change of clothes. No home. No social security number. No citizenship or standing. Relationships Many Notes Should any other LSH characters be apped, I'm keeping Tel's complete canon history. The only change is after he goes off camera in Adventure Comics #529. I haven't read all of his appearances though so if you've interacted with him, I'll probably need to be filled in. For those who need a way to get to the past, I'm figuring the rift that opened in the future could still be open and also preventing any return trips from those who intentionally go through it or with time machines (this giving a reason why they're sticking around in the 21st century).
