Costume Description/Image: Whirlwind likes to stay light on his feet, so his usual attire consists of a sleeveless T-shirt with slacks. When not fighting, he wears a black coat over his attire.

Personality: Whirlwind, for the most part, is like any child of his age. He has teenage problems and drama. He is extremely kind, and is easy to forgive. He has an extreme sense of justice, and will always do his best to never stray the righteous path. He'd give his life to save someone else.

He can come off as a bit arrogant when fighting, the young male that he is. He can get cocky, and this has sometimes led to him underestimating an opponent severely.

History: Thomas lived a normal middle-class life in his hometown of Wichita Falls, TX. He was in his first year of high school, holding decent grades, and working on finding a girlfriend more than anything else. He had never been in so much as a fight.

That all changed when the Supers arrived. In an incident where his house was torn to pieces by flying vehicles, he and his parents fled. It was all they could do to stay together and survive. Taking refuge in an underground shelter in Fort Worth, TX, they began their secluded lives.

It was here that Thomas found his destiny. He met an older gentleman named Hurricane, who was a traveler caught up in the chaos aboveground. He fled with the rest, not wanting to get involved in anything. It was his greatest regret.

He revealed to Thomas that he himself was a Super, one who had chosen the path of good, and fought to stop the evil in the world. When the pandemonium broke out, he grew worried that he couldn't do anything for the world anymore. He chose to give up his life of fighting.

"I threw away my ideals because I was a coward. I don't deserve to hold that mantle anymore. That's why I'm offering you to take my place. Fight for what is right."

Unsure of what to do, Thomas hesitated. He didn't know what to believe. It didn't stop him though, and he agreed.

The next day began a year of intense training. Using his spiritual abilities, Hurricane would slowly transfer his knowledge of combat to Thomas. In return, Thomas would begin training. He was given his weapon, a black scythe named Haelstrom.

One year passes, and Hurricane has grown feeble. Giving up his abilities had severely shortened his life-span. But it wasn't in vain. Thomas had become a skilled fighter with the scythe, and had physically enhanced himself considerably.

"It is time, boy. This is where we part ways. We may never meet again. Can I trust you to stay true to the righteous path?"

"Yes, sir. I've given my all to this cause. I refuse to step down from my beliefs."

"Good. You are ready to begin your journey. As a gift, I bestow you the title of Whirlwind, the Fierce Wind."

And so Whirlwind left his safe haven for good. He now travels the US, seeking out and fighting those who intend to harm others.

Abilities
Advanced training in the use of a scythe. Using his tuned body and the natural momentum of the scythe, Whirlwind fights in a style similar to that of, well, a whirlwind. Combining both speed and power, he can become a dangerous force in close combat. This, however, makes him pretty useless in ranged combat. To compensate for this, he relies on his reflexes to dodge ranged attacks.

High Above Average Intelligence has allowed him to modify Whirlwind slightly with a compressed air gun. It allows Whirlwind to release concentrated blasts of compressed air from the blade of the weapon, adding to the deadliness that comes with a whirlwind.
