Character Evolution: He's a small town guy trying to just get out there more and experience as much as he can.
BRIEF Bio:
James was born and raised in Fawcett and his father was a police officer. Responding to a call his father was killed one night when James was twelve and it changed his life forever. He decided he wanted to be a cop like his dad and honor his memory. However, James wasn't the most athletic guy in the world and stuck more to CSI type work. While experimenting with some chemicals that he thought were going to create a 'truth serum' to gain info out of anyone, what he'd actually stumbled upon was something of a super-steroid for his body AND mind.
After his base powers were discovered he modeled himself a superhero alter ego after an ally of Superman in an 80's cartoon, the Bulletman. He managed to scavenge some Nth metal debris the last time Thanagarians attacked Earth and fashioned an anti gravity helmet for flight as well as Nth metal buttons on his gloves that help produce the protective field and stabilize his flying.
Taking the name the Bulleteer, James began cleaning up the riff raff in the bad neighborhoods of Fawcett alongside other heroes before being approached by the Justice League.
Notes:
* Never understood how the super serum game him so much intelligence to craft an anti-gravity helmet, so I made it Nth metal to make it a little easier for him. His heightened brain power comes in the form of a photographic memory and more strategic and mathematical thinking.
* Obviously there are ties to both Capt. Marvel [Shazam] and Hawkman. If I need to I can tweak those bits. However it should be noted the classic Bulletman was the 2nd most popular Fawcett Comics character behind Capt, Marvel so I kinda still want him to be from the town of Fawcett.
Sample Post:
It was just another day at the office. James was the CSI on first shift from seven in the morning till around three in the afternoon. His relief was a man name Dexter with red hair, a short stature, and glasses. With only a few months of being a superhero, James always spent every minute he could in the air perfecting his aerial maneuvers. As the clock on the wall hit 3 Barr was already getting his things ready to walk out the door. On his way out of the police department he saw his older co-worker Detective Kent as well as his daughter Susan. Susan was around the same age as James and he greeted them both.
"Kent... there's no way that's your girlfriend..." James said with a laugh and a grin.
"Watch it kid, this is my daughter. She's studying forensics at Fawcett U. and will probably take your job in another six months!" Kent replied with a laugh of his own that was much different and more of a whole body laugh.
The girl blushed and James grinned and his dimples were showing in his cheeks.
"It's nice meeting you. Don't let this guy get you into any trouble..." he continued shaking her hand before leaving.
Moments later....
Barr was suited up. He strapped his helmet on and took to the skies and practiced his moves. As the Bulleteer he flew the fastest with his hands and arms extended above his head, and to go left or right he simply had to make a ninety degree angle with his arms and put one out to the side while the other remained over his head. It was a good day for flying. That was until his JLU communicator went off in his pants pocket.
"League Unlimited members report to the Metro Tower in Metropolis. We have a situation. Teleporters will be online and operational for the next ten minutes. Batman out." said a grizzled voice over the pager.
Lucky for James, there was a teleporter hidden in a greenhouse on the roof of a Wayne Foundation building on the outskirts of town. The Wayne Foundation worked much like the Salvation Army and had several branches in the north eastern region of the Unites States. Whereas Wayne Industries had several manufacturing plants across the 'States that made everything from pharmaceutical supplies, car parts, extreme sporting equipment, as well as three different ammunition plants for the US military and law enforcement.
