Known Powers:
Warp Beams: Sleepwalker can manipulate material objects with beams that shoot from his eyes. He can alter the material strength of an object by +/-2CS, and manipulate objects as if he had Monstrous Telekinesis. He typically uses this power to ensnare his opponents. He has vowed never to use this against a living opponent, so it is unknown what this power would do to organic material.
Flight: Sleepwalker has Good rank flight.
Body Armor: Sleepwalker has Amazing resistance to physical and energy attacks. This Body Armor is reduced to Remarkable in the Mindscape.
Imaginator: This device is what a Sleepwalker uses to teleport a captured creature to another part of the Mindscape. At present, Sleepwalker’s device is lost.

Sleepwalker can only become active in our world when Rick Sheridan is asleep. When Rick is awakened, then Sleepwalker must return to Rick Sheridan’s mind and can no longer affect the physical world. He can leave communications behind for Rick, like messages on a telephone answering machine.
Talents:
Sleepwalker has the Resist Domination talent.
Contacts:
Sleepwalker’s chief contact is Rick Sheridan, the human mind that he has unwillingly found himself stranded in during Rick’s waking life. He also has found friends among some of the people he has helped in New York and has worked with Spider-Man in the past.
Role-Playing Notes:
Sleepwalker is a being with absolute dedication to the protection of life. He has sworn never to harm a living being with his powers. He finds himself constrained by his current predicament: he must be a hero because his function is to protect people, yet ours is a very violent world. This causes much confusion for Sleepwalker, who does not understand why some of those he helps react negatively, even violently, to him. Despite this, Sleepwalker has a formal, dignified manner that manages to avoid seeming arrogant.
History:
The Mindscape—it borders on the minds of all sentient creatures, and contains entities both good and evil. The evil entities often seek to enter the minds of sentients and drive them mad; without protection, the madness would prevail. Protection comes from the Sleepwalkers, entities sworn to prevent the evil beings from entering the minds of innocents. Minds such as that of Rick Sheridan.
Sheridan was a college student from New York City who had enjoyed a relatively normal life until the night that one of these malevolent entities, Cobweb, tried to enter his mind while he slept. Cobweb was stopped by a Sleepwalker, but the Sleepwalker became trapped in Sheridan’s mind during the battle.
As the Sleepwalker tried to leave Sheridan’s mind he found himself appearing in Sheridan’s dreams. Sheridan reacted to this strangely dressed figure haunting his dreams. Sheridan soon fought Sleepwalker in his dreams, and grabbed his Imaginator, which vanished in a flash of light.
Now, Sleepwalker was trapped inside of Sheridan’s mind, able to escape only when Sheridan was asleep. At first, Sheridan believed that Sleepwalker was just a character in his dreams, until watching the evening news and seeing a report about an attempted robbery. The robbery had been broken up by someone who, according to a police sketch drawn from the description given to them by eyewitnesses, looked exactly like the being in Sheridan’s dreams.
Sheridan then realized that the creature in his dreams was more than just a figment of his imagination. Sheridan decided to avoid sleep as long as possible, in order to avoid releasing the being again.
Sleepwalker continued to try to escape however, whenever Sheridan did sleep, and Sleepwalker discovered several interesting things. He could enter Rick’s world when Rick slept. He learned that Earth was a place full of those who preyed upon the innocent, just like Cobweb and the malevolent entities of the Mindscape. He became a crimefighter, fighting against costumed villains such as Eight-Ball, Bookworm, the Chain Gang, and Lullaby after he and Sheridan reached an agreement made while Sheridan slept and Sleepwalker entered his dream.
At present, Sleepwalker remains a prisoner of Rick’s mind, and continues to try to find a way back to his home.
