Ben is an artist, working to break into comics.
Contacts:
Solarman has a small beeping robot ally named Beepie. Beepie has no powers (except Poor rank Shrinking), and Poor physical strength, but it tries its best to help Solarman whenever it gets the chance.
Role-Playing Notes:
While Solarman's physical form is that of a muscular adult, his mind remains that of teenager Ben Tucker. Ben is thrilled with his powers and enjoys using them. Years of reading and studying comics have given Ben a large supply of melodramatic wise cracks to spout during combat.
History:
Sha-han was the senior scientist of the mad commander Gormagga Kraal. Kraal had used Sha-han's Solar Ray to drain the nuclear power of whole stars, storing the energy in the large power pods of his massive starship. Kraal perversely chose to extinguish the stars around which planets supported life. When Kraal decided to drain the power of Earth's sun, Sha-han rebelled. The elderly scientist stole a shuttlecraft and made his way to Earth to hide from Kraal the Circlet of Power, a solar-energy wristband which would grant its wearer (presumably Kraal) great powers.
By the time Kraal's robotic agents had tracked down the Circlet, it was being worn by Ben Tucker. Tucker had been given the item by Sha-han before the scientist died, with instructions to keep it out of Kraal's hands. Tucker was taken to Kraal's ship, where he assumed the form of Solarman and foiled Kraal's plans to destroy the sun by destroying Kraal's ship. Solarman and Beepie, as well as Kraal, escaped the exploding star craft. What Ben will make of his newfound powers is still to be seen.
