Character History
Brave New World
One year after the June 13, 2014, tragedy, the old man attends a small support group for evos. He stands at the door to a church's basement and collects the password from attendees: "cockroach". When the group meets, he dismisses El Vengador's efforts just "one guy". He believes that soon the authorities will send drones after evos. He also says that if it were just vigilantes who were causing problems, then the government wouldn't be forcing evos to register. As Tommy speaks and says his name, the old man curmudgeonly reminds Tommy, "No names!" Later, the old man shouts out, "Suresh was right. We are the future!" which makes Luke Collins laugh. The old man listens intently to Luke's views on evos and their "unnatural" powers. The old man demands to know what solution Luke has for evos, and Luke opens fire. The old man runs around the room quickly, bumping into walls and objects in the way, yelling loudly. Luke finally shoots the man dead.

Evolved Human Abilities
