Not sure what you were expecting, but there's nothing to see here.

Looks like I'm late to the party.
Posting so that @Omega Man doesn't look desperate.
No sooner had the started formulating a plan of attack, did Natalie announced that Bolt was gone. Since Zen had revealed the most likely location of Peace Keeper's hideout, they all knew exactly where he had gone. Suddenly, shadows began to coalesce and swirl around them until they were engulfed by darkness, and then they were at the hangar. Tiara had managed to teleport them all, but the act of doing so had taxed her greatly and caused her to fall unconscious into Zen's arms. Not long after their arrival they heard a trio of gunshots from inside the hangar.

Monolith wasted no time charging in, setting off every mine and booby trap along the way. Natalie wasn't far behind him, and then Jeremy followed suit. Unfortunately due to the suddenness of their departure, none of them had any of their gear. Travis knew he wouldn't be of much help in a straight-up fight, so he turned to Zen and held out his arms.
"Give her to me," he told the android. "I'll look after her. They need you more than they need me."
Travis barely had time to process the news of Gemini's death before everyone started talking at once. Bolt burst into the room announcing his intention to go after Peace Keeper followed by the other team members voicing their opinions on the matter. Even the robot was on-board with hunting him down.

"Woah, woah, woah, woah," Travis interjected. "We can't fight that guy. Gemini was a better fighter than any of us. If PK killed him, there's no way we would stand a chance. Only one of us is bulletproof."

Unfortunately, the odds didn't seem to be in his favor. Bolt, Jeremy, and the robot were ready to fight. Natalie seemed less confident, but still agreed with them. Tiara was the only other naysayer besides Travis. He couldn't help but get the feeling that Monolith would agree to fight as well, so he and Tia would be out-voted.
Travis emerged from the bathroom wondering what Natalie was screaming about. He made his towards the common area, passing a sulking Bolt and a crying Natalie on the way. The mood in the room definitely seemed rather dark. Oscar had been saying something or other as Travis entered the room, but he hadn't paid attention to what it was. After retrieving a soda from the fridge, he took stock of the situation. The room was silent besides Tiara's quiet sobs from under the table. Why was she under the table, anyway?

"What's going on here," he asked as he cracked open the soda can. "Ya'll are acting like somebody died or something."
Secret ID: Travis Polt
Alias: Ghost
Age: 18
Home Location: Gotham
Powers: Invisibility and intangibility

Weaknesses: Travis still needs to breathe, so he is limited in how much material he can pass through based on how long he can hold his breath. While he's immune to many forms of attack while intangible, electrical attacks are still effective as the electricity is still able to jump between the molecules of his body and electrocute him.

His invisibility can be defeated by thermal imaging, though no light-based cameras, such as infrared, will be able to see him. His powers need to be consciously activated as well, so a sneak attack would also be effective.

Equipment: Anything that Travis carries needs to be brought with him through anything he passes through, so he tends to travel light to reduce the strain on himself. With his power set being suited to infiltration and stealth missions, his equipment was designed to assist him with such tasks. His suit covers his entire body to prevent him from leaving behind hair or anything other DNA anywhere that he should not have been. His boots also have sound-dampening soles in order to aid him in moving silently while he invisibly skulks around. In addition, he carries a com-bead in his ear for communication and his mask contains anti-flash lenses.

Despite his policy of traveling light, Travis does carry a few gadgets just in case in ends up in a less-than-ideal situation. The extendable baton he carries in civilian life was upgraded to a stun baton which can be electrified at the push of a button for a nasty shock to incapacitate his foes. He has also been supplied with flash pellets, which he is protected from by the anti-flash lenses in his mask. For those hard-to-reach places he possesses a grappling hook that is strong enough to lift himself and one passenger without difficulty. Finally, he carries remote hacking devices to give Oracle remote access to whatever sort of computer she would like access to.

Appearance: Travis is a young, Caucasian man with an average build. He is 5'8" tall with black hair and blue eyes. He dresses very plainly, often opting for a simple plain, colored T-shirt and jeans. There is also a trench coat that he is quite fond of that he often wears as well.

His suit is a full-body suit with no visible facial features similar to a morph suit. The head, torso, and upper arms are white and the rest of the suit is black.

Personality: laid-back, sarcastic, humorous, loyal, stubborn

BRIEF Bio: Travis's early life before his metahuman abilities were awakened were rather unremarkable. He was raised by overprotective, religious parents who kept him away from the dangerous and cruel world, better known as Gotham, as best as they possibly could. Travis grew tired of being so smothered rather quickly and was quick to strike out on his own as soon as possible.

Upon the discovery of his abilities Travis had mixed feelings on how to best make use of them. He did, of course, inevitably give in to how easily he could now steal things, but his conscience didn't allow him to take anything that was too expensive. Travis also learned that his abilities could be used for good. Though he tried not to get too involved in Gotham's drama he did take it upon himself to stop a robbery here and there or save the odd damsel in distress. He figured that joining some new superhero team that was being put together would help him understand why he can do what he does and perhaps give his life some meaning and direction.

Notes: Travis is afraid of heights.

@Birdboy Omega Man doesn't want any Robin-like characters. All characters are required to be metahumans.
Here goes nothing.

Wow. Those character sheets came in fast.
Are different races available or is it human only?
