Jonathan Silvercloud is an evolved human with an unusual talent for inventing mechanical devices.
History
As an evolved human, Jonathan was a child prodigy with a superhuman mechanical aptitude. He took apart and repaired an alarm clock at age 3. By 10, he had built a small electric automobile; by 13, a relatively complex robotic arm -- both from readily available spare parts. After gaining his dual college degrees in mechanical and electrical engineering at the age of 18, he became a master mechanic at an aircraft parts factory.
Jonathan was fired from a number of jobs because of his air of superiority and unorthodox approach to simple tasks. Seeking a challenge, he turned to the planning and execution of technologically assisted crimes. He found that such activities not only stimulated his intellect, but provided him with new raw materials to create even more advanced technological devices.
He eventually built an armor-plated, strength-augmenting suit, a pair of gravity-defying wings, suction-fingered gloves, and a cybernetic control helmet. Calling himself "Technoman", Jonathan uses his battle-suit for wealth and adventure.

Unusual retinal chemical composition
Powers
Jonathan possesess a superhuman intuitive talent for inventing mechanical devices, backed up by the ability to visually perceive "mechanical energy" in action. This power allows him to instinctively recognize the potential and functional uses of any machine or technological device in his visual range, a skill that combined with his natural intelligence allows him to conceive, design, build, modify, disassemble, and countermand machinery. This ability is for the most part devoid of consciously working out theoretical and design principles behind the invention. Many of these logical steps are worked out by his subconscious mind. Hence, Jonathan himself might not be entirely aware of exactly how he figured out how to create an invention of his.
