Backstory:
Will grew up in an upper middle class household raised by his uncle Jake and aunt Clara. Growing up, Will was told that his parents were archeologists who went missing in the jungles of South America when he was a baby. When Will was in his early teens, he discovered the truth, that his parents were the supervillain team Brute Force and that he had been born while they were in prison. The government had taken him away from his mother and given custody to the closest relative. He also learned that his parents did not know where he was. Will was upset to think that his real parents had never come looking for him. He knew they were out of prison as he had seen news stories about their exploits robbing high end stores.
Will discovered his abilities not long after an accident at a science lab. His high school astronomy class was on a field trip to a research facility in a nearby city when a strange blast of light came in through a window and struck Will and a classmate. Both were knocked unconscious and rushed to the hospital. After numerous tests they were released after being treated for minor injuries.
His powers developed gradually. First he noticed that his memory had improved after the accident. Then he discovered that he could heal much faster by concentrating and touching the injured area. Little by little he realized he could do other things as well. He could fly slowly, fire intense light blasts, and more. He knew he had to use his new abilities to help others. He had to be a good example, opposite of what his real parents were. He revealed his new abilities to his uncle and aunt and, with their help, created a costume and got needed training
