- Destiny is a good thing to accept when it's going your way. When it isn't, don't call it destiny; call it injustice, treachery, or simple bad luck.
- —Joseph Heller, God Knows (1984)
Sinister Shock came about because I'd found I'd wrapped up the story of Voidjammer in the game, and I needed a replacement character for him in the Entropy Legion. For once, I decided not to make an alien or otherwise "fish out of water" sort of character, but a more traditional villain-or at least, traditional petty criminal who found himself using super powers.

Personality
Shock (as he prefers to be called) is very much a man who wants respect. He doesn't take it well when he feels like he's being disrespected, and while he doesn't display a temper in reaction, he rarely forgets. On the other hand, those who offer respect will get back in turn. This is actually a fairly recent development; having been treated poorly by the "A-List" Entropy Legion, he tended to retreat to sarcasm and mostly mocking nicknames, but working with them has given him new respect for them as well.
Accordingly, he's willing to help them out with virtually anything, but hates being kept in the dark about things. He may have a soft spot for Caestus Veritas, but he isn't admitting to any such thing at this time. Besides, her culture is Praetorian, and that's a hell of a cultural barrier to smack against.
Shock has, thanks to a bout of possession, is not fond of magic, and actively attempts to stay the hell away from it if at all possible.

Character History
Michael Reed was never a good seed. In high school, he learned how to crack open safes and hack into computer records. The latter skill got him into college, but the university saw through it and reported him to the authorities. The resulting confrontation awakened his mutant powers over electricity.
Vowing that he'd always look out for number one-himself-he took up the handle of "Sinister Shock", and went after the nearest banking system. Unfortunately, that bank was in Atlas Park, which got him promptly arrested and sent to the Zig. JUST in time for a mass breakout to occur-and before he knew it, he was out of the country and in the Rogue Islands. Surely here, he hopes, his streak of bad luck will come to an end.
Don't count on it.
