I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a close friend is difficult. If there's anything I can do for you from here, let me know.
I am interested in this. In keeping with the "Zeroes to Heroes" theme, I would like to play a Chosen One paladin.
As much as I like Firefly, tumbler posted Quark first. So I'll come up with a different character submission, if that's ok.
Here is Firefly's background. She is likely to have made lots of friends and lots of enemies. Firefly's Background: Ruth Carmichael was the heroine known as “the Pixie” in the '60s and '70s. Being an early member of a famous NYC superhero team, she has faced off against legendary super-villains like Dr. Destroyer, the Atomic Brain, and Malador. She married the electric powered hero Blue Dynamo (later, just Dynamo) in the mid '70s. One night, Dynamo snapped and turned on the team and his pregnant wife. The team overpowered him, but his vicious attack cost Ruth her powers and her baby.
Since then, Ruth has studied all aspects of metahuman life and has been an outspoken advocate for metahuman rights. While not directly involved in superhero affairs, she has worked behind the scenes to help out where she can. She moved to Freedom City in 1990 and openly opposed Moore's anti-meta administration. She has also amassed a fortune with wise investments in strong and forward thinking companies. She was even offered a staff position at Claremont Academy, but turned it down. She did, however, agree to be a substitute teacher there, should the need arise. It was on one of these substitute days that one of the students brought out the experimental Commborfian Infanto-Ray that his father had obtained. Just as Ruth was about to confiscate the device, it malfunctioned. Everyone in the classroom was de-aged to various degrees. Ruth found herself in a teen-aged body, and that body had powers! With help from other staff members, the device was confiscated and repaired, and the students were all returned to their true age. Ruth, however, declined. She had a youthful body and powers again, and she was going to keep them (who wouldn't?!) Ruth now goes by the name “Firefly.” She sometimes feels guilty about getting a second chance, but intends to use it to its fullest. She also harbors an unhealthy grudge against electrically powered supers. She learned that Dynamo escaped Blackgate prison in 2004, but nothing has been heard from him since.
Reading over your Obsidian Portal site brought back so many memories. I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring with Firefly, a Silver Age heroine with a new lease on life. Firefly:

I gave her truckloads of skills and feats to represent her being around for a while. I'll have a bio up later today.
I wore that cloak just long enough to get it warm, too. ;)
