I'm interested, I'll write up a character tonight.

Name: Ricky Blair

Alias: Blast 

Age: 24
Personality: Awkward, Neurotic, Eccentric, Moody, Weird

Powers: Ricky is capable of firing blasts of energy from his limbs and/or nose. He is capable of firing either red blasts of explosive energy or blue blasts of concussive energy, and their destructive power is directly proportional to how stressed Ricky currently feels. Ricky has no idea what the upper limits of his powers are, but when placed in an extremely distressing or traumatic situation, he's been able to fire blasts with large building level or higher destructive power.

Weaknesses: Ricky is very much a glass cannon. Despite his immense destructive power, he has the durability and constitution of a regular person. Ricky is also unable to directly control the power of his blasts, as they are tied to his stress level. This means that under extreme stress, his power could easily do more harm than good.

Background Hero: Plastic Man

Former Team Affiliation: Task Force 

Appearance: Ricky is a 5'10 slender black man with a short, unkempt afro and a thick beard. His hero costume consists of a Dark Grey hooded robe with an indigo B embroidered onto the chest.

Potential Storylines: Emotional regulation: Ricky's neurotic temperament has been a severe determent to his social life and the application of his powers. He harbors a lot of resentment and self-hatred towards himself for being a "crybaby." Perhaps he could learn to better regulate his emotions in order to both form stronger relationships with his fellow league members and to achieve better control over the power of his blasts?

BRIEF Bio: Ricky was always an emotional kid growing up. He was incredibly sensitive and cried a lot, which made him an easy target for schoolyard bullies. His home life wasn't much better, so Ricky spent basically his entire early childhood experiencing traumatic experience after traumatic experience. When he was 16, his metahuman abilities manifested. While being tormented by bullies as usual, a concussive blast fired from his nose towards one of them, putting him in the hospital. Ricky was expelled, but the incident made national headlines, making Ricky a household name overnight. It wasn't long a big hero noticed his potential, namely Patrick "Eel" O'Brian. Sympathetic to his situation, Plastic Man took Ricky under his wing, sponsoring him to join the Teen Titans. Although unpopular with his peers, Ricky proved instrumental in turning the tides of multiple major battles, and once he reached adulthood, he joined the JL Task Force under the command of Martian Manhunter.

Notes: Although distant and standoffish with most people, Ricky has a very close relationship with his mentor, Plastic Man. Those in The Justice League often remark that the only time he's not miserable is when in the presence of O'Brian.
