Open Source: Dynamic Boy

Dynamic Boy
Real Name: Rai-Kod
Alias: Roy
Powers: Enhanced Strength, Speed, Stamina, Durability & Senses; Flight; An above-average intellect; and finally, Adaptive Metabolism.
Equipment:
- Clouded Headband of Ice Breathing: A sky-blue headband with patches of white. Wearing this headband allows one to generate from within oneself ice/cold and release them from the mouth.
- Comet Visor: A pair of glass goggles that once belonged to the superhero, The Comet. If the wearer were to cross their eyes, the visor will emit a laser beam that has the potential to cut through steel, but will take some time to cut through substances like titanium.
- Radar Ring: A product of pseudo-science that grants the wearer Radar Vision, which actually functions similar to X-Ray Vision except without any use of actual X-Rays.
- Concussion Camera: An old-fashioned camera with a flashbulb attachment. When the button is pressed, the flashbulb creates and projects a blast of kinetic force at the target, which to a human is comparable to getting punched really hard.

Origin
(---"In another universe, The planet of Ocarro was on the verge of planetary destruction due to an invasion that wanted to completely strip the planet of all it's resources, minerals, fuel, technology, the combined knowledge of the Ocarrian race, the inhabitants themselves to be sold as a slave race, Everything until there's nothing but a dead and barren planet.

During the invasion, a pair of Ocarrian scientists, a husband and wife duo, had to quickly build a small escape vessel that will take their infant child, Rai-Kod, as far away from the planet as possible so that he wouldn't become a pet for some wealthy alien. Just when the rocket had launched, the soldiers from the invading army had barged into the lab and took the child's parents away at gunpoint.

The invaders detected the child's rocket leaving the planet, so one of their scouting vessels broke off from the main fleet to try and retrieve it. As they didn't want to lose what they considered a valuable commodity.

The chase lasted for a few minutes before the infant's rocket engaged it's faster-than-light engines, allowing it to escape it's pursuer.

So the rocket continued it's journey for several years, Rai-Kod had actually grown as he slept during the trip. This is so because his scientist parents had rigged up life support and a learning device inside the rocket so the baby is kept alive and is subconsciously taught what he needs to not become completely helpless upon landing on a planet out of the invaders' view.

Thirteen years of drifting through the cosmos later, the rocket ended up entering a singularity that appeared in it's path. This singularity was the gateway into The Super-Sargasso Sea, specifically over The Ever-Changing City. The rocket almost collided with both the moon and a living rocket during it's entry and landed in the sea of junk near the shore of the 2000s district.

The rocket's entry didn't go unnoticed, as both The Weird Boys and Dr. Magdalene's crew spotted where it landed. The gang used the doctor's research ship to bring the rocket on board. They were surprised to see through the glass-like hatch a teenage boy wearing some kind of form-fitting spacesuit inside the ship, sleeping through both the rough landing and getting moved by the crew.

So onboard, The crew's engineers worked to open the rocket, at first using the keypad that was next to the hatch. Though after they pressed the first button, the rocket emitted a blue wave of light that briefly swept over everyone in the area before it shrank and reformed into the holographic image of both of Rai-Kod's parents. It was a pre-recorded message that was translated into English, telling everyone around about what happened to their planet of Occarro and why they sent their son in the rocket to begin with. The message finished with the couple saying that they hoped that whoever finds this message would help their son have a life away from the cruel and corrupt.

When the message was finished, the locks on the rocket became unlocked, and the hatch opened. Dr. Magdalene ordered her crew to take the boy below deck to the living quarters while the others looked over the rocket.

It was just about an hour before Rai-Kod opened his eyes for the very first time in over a decade, lying on a hammock in the ship's living quarters with both the doctor and both Sammy Swift and Chroma-Ki in there with him, mostly because they figured that they wouldn't have the other Boys in at first so as to not freak him out when he woke up.

Rai-Kod was confused as he initially couldn't understand what the three were saying as they tried to introduce themselves. However when they motioned towards him to ask for his name, Rai understood enough to reply. Though when he first said his name, he could only get the first half out and it ended up sounding like "Roy", so the others thought that it was his name."---)



This is probably the closest I'll get to actually using Superman, at least until 2033 when the Golden Age version becomes PD. Unless Disney decides to lobby Congress again to have yet another copyright extension before 2024 so that Steamboat Willie doesn't become PD for another couple of years.

Roy's story after the origin is that he does stay on the doctor's ship, with a member or two of The Weird Boys and even their teacher, Skull Glider, checking on Roy each day. One reason is to see if he gained any powers during his entry into The Super-Sargasso Sea, and reason number two being to help Roy get settled into the Sea and show him the ropes with both living in The City itself and learning how to use his powers to defend himself against criminals and people that would exploit him. While obviously he doesn't have the modern Superman's expansive power set, but Roy does collect a few artifacts and trinkets during his time in The City that can help flesh out his arsenal. And if you read the link to Adaptive Metabolism, you'd see that Roy here doesn't immediately get powers by sunlight, he has to build up his strength through constant training and incrimental exposures to different levels of stimuli.

I took a few ques from The Adventures of Superman Radio Show like how instead of arriving on Earth as a baby, Kal-El ended up arriving on Earth already as an adult. So I took the in-between route and made Roy a teenager upon landing. And since Kryptonite actually first appeared in the radio show, Roy does develop a weakness to a certain mineral, what kind I haven't decided.

Another idea I had involving Dynamic Boy was that instead of The Ever-Changing City, it was another city in The Sea that's resembled Metropolis and had the villains from both the radio show and the Fleicher cartoons as his Rogues Gallery. Roy would still work in reporting, but he would be a photographer instead of an ace reporter. Infact, Roy would be more like if Peter Parker was a Kryptonian instead of becoming Spiderman.
