About Sοl
Power Level: 9
Who is Sol?: According to what is known to the media, Sol appeared on the scene in 2006; around 4 years ago. The large, well built man began appearing around Freedom City, and in other areas around the continent of North America. He has helped out in a wide variety of areas, often coming to the aid during natural disasters, and being particularly helpful during those occasions when a person has become lost in the wilderness or at sea. He is known to be a speedster, of sorts, as he is probably seen flying more often than running, but does many of the tasks more commonly associated with speedsters, such as combing an area for a missing hiker or boater in seconds, disarming multiple assailants at once, and even using his ability to break the sound barrier as a tool for disabling adversaries in a non-lethal manner.
Sol has been described as courteous and patient during his interactions with the media, and has often come across as an old-school hero. Accepting an offer to conduct an exclusive interview in 2008, in exchange for a sizable donation to a local charity by the Network, the hero actually disclosed a fair bit about himself. He gave his name as Peter Cerenkov, an American of Russian decent, and adding him to a select portion of heroes with a public identity. He reported that he was from an alternate dimension where history diverged significantly from ours. He stated that in his world, during WWII, the Axis powers in Europe honoured the Non-Aggression treaty with the USSR much longer than in our world, which led to a different outcome to the war. Able to mount a more dedicated effort in the west, the Axis powers were not easily defeated, and succeeded in capturing most of Europe. The USA, now the primary player in the resistance against, suffered significantly in the costs to its fighting men, and the massive economic strain. Had Germany chose to invade, it might have been a real contest to repel them from American soil. However, once Western Europe was secured, the Axis turned their attentions East, and invaded Russia, violating the non-aggression pact. The delay allowed the Americans to complete their research on the Atomic Bomb, and it was only due to its use in attacks on cities across Europe that the Axis were eventually defeated.
After the war, the economy of the USA was in ruins, and their male population significantly depleted. Forced to accept aid from the USSR, the only remaining super power in the world, the America Sol grew up in was very different from ours. As a part of an effort to help out with numerous issues in the west, large numbers of Russian men immigrated into western countries, while large sums of money, relief supplies, and food came with them. With so many Soviet men in place, and the economy so dependent on foreign aid, a coup was pulled off in 1958. Resistance was fierce in many places, but the rebels were no match for the resources of the new Soviet backed government. Resisters were dealt with severely. In 1960, the new government voted to formally join the USSR.
Growing up under Soviet rule, in a world where Stalin had no western forces to temper his policies, was about as grim as one would imagine. As an adult, Peter Cerenkov, an uneducated peasant, was selected to be the first human test subject for an experimental form of travel; one that sought to allow a human to travel faster than light by altering the properties of his mass in order to allow the subject to move super-luminally without violating Special Relatively. He was injected with all manner of chemicals, none of which were explained to him, before being loaded into a specialized pod. The last thing he remembers in that world was the pod suddenly racing forward, the acceleration strong enough to break several of his bones, while he simultaneously felt reality twist and warp. He awoke here, in our world, in the year 2006.
He was empowered the way he is now, and after coming to grips with the change, both in himself, and the radically different culture of our world, he dedicated himself to being a hero, so that none would have to live under the oppression he himself was exposed to. When asked where he lives, he stated that he doesn't live anywhere, as such, as periodically he needs to relax his control and allow his body to de-materialize, and that this non-corporeal state can be thought of somewhat like sleep. When he is rested, he re materializes, and continues on his mission.
Concept: Sol is a creature composed entirely of light. Though he has the feel and appearance of a man, he has no internal organs, and when cut, blinding white light bleeds out (but no normal blood). As a creature of light, he moves and thinks at incredible speed, and as he has some properties of matter, he has massive mass, as the particles that compose him race around his confines at near the speed of light. He has some ability to use and manipulate light, but it appears most of his energy goes into maintaining the vestige that remains of his corporeal form.

This includes a normal strike or a special action like Disarm or Trip (see Actions, starting on page 153). Make one attack roll and compare it against all targets in the area.
