ALERTFORCE HISTORY, PART 37... BRAINWAVE

Given Name: John
Hero Name: Brainwave

History: When his parents were killed in a battle between AlertForce and a villain in the early 1980's, then AlertForce team Leader Dreadnought took the child in as a ward. He literally grew up in AlertForce HQ in Mid City, Pennsylvania, and was put through college by Dreadnought himself. He later manifested mental-based superpowers and became the superhero known as Brainwave. He worked with AlertForce numerous times during his adolescence and early adult life, and was part of an AlertForce junior team overseen by Thermo for a time. He left the team after witnessing the death of AlertForce member the Wall. He moved to the Pacific Northwest, and was part of a three-person super team for a time there. They ran afoul of certain roge elements of the Government, and were captured, after which one of his teammates was tortured and died in custody. AlertForce rescued him from government incarceration in 2002, and Brainwave disappeared during the battle. He has not been seen since.
