ThatguyinastoreFace Claim/Appearance:
Name: Nightwatch (Kevin Trench)
Age: Unknown (Possibly in his 30s or 40s)
Gender: Male
Canon: Marvel
Main Thread or Sandbox: Sandbox
Starting Location: Gotham City, at the Gotham Mall
Personality: Nightwatch is a simple man, with a strong sense of justice, as driven by his sense of duty to other and atonement for himself. Nightwatch he's also cautious, taking in his surroundings before and during him springing into action as the safety of others comes first. He can be a little cheesy with his banter, playing into the superhero archetype a little bit too much when crime-fighting. Nightwatch tends to go into melancholic moods from time to time, still lamenting over the life he left behind due to the fear of his death, even still, he uses this to push himself forward.
Equipment: Nightwatch's costume was comprised of self-replicating nanites. It boosted his strength and durability by triggering his adrenal glands, and nanotechnologically repaired itself.
Its cape responded to his subconscious thoughts to move on its own, and allowed him to glide on air. After he was boosted by the later-generation Morelle technology, the durability of the costume increased, the cape became more metallic, and he had something closer to true flight.
Attributes: Skilled technician and survivalist
Biography: Nightwatch was Doctor Kevin Trench, who witnessed a costumed man die battling some terrorists armed with invisibility-generating "cloaking" devices, and unmasked the corpse to learn that it was an older version of himself.
Freaking out, Trench stripped the costume from "his" body and fled when his lover, Ashley Croix's, plane was hijacked by
A.I.M., Trench donned the Nightwatch's super-powered battle-suit and confronted the hijackers, but the inexperienced Trench triggered an explosion, killing all aboard. Guilt-stricken,Trench exiled himself and the apparently indestructible battle-suit on a remote island reasoning that if he just never wore the suit or went home, he wouldn't die. Events conspired to bring him back, as the criminal Alfredo Morelli stole one of the costume gloves after washing up on the island and being nursed to health by Trench. After Alfredo had been dealt with, Trench decided that he couldn't avoid his destiny, and decided to investigate the costume's origins.
In the interim, he battled menaces like the "Maximum Carnage" gang, who were wreaking havoc across New York and slaughtering dozens of innocent civilians. He had many allies in the fight, including, but not limited to, Captain America, Black Cat, Deathlok, and Firestar. He also fought the mutated Deathmask. Graduating into his own hero, Nightwatch encountered similar "cloaked" villains, and was shocked when their technology merged with and enhanced his costume. In between battling menaces like Flashpoint, Cardiac (whose technology had been stolen to create the more vicious Cardiaxe), and Venom, Nightwatch discovered that an old ex-girlfriend was working for the shady Morelle Pharmaceuticals on a nanotech project.
Ultimately, project head Philip Morelle proved to be corrupt, and Nightwatch defeated his sinister plans.
Other: Taught at Empire State University.
