As Stephan, a movie-star handsome, athletic, and well dressed socialite. As Gravitic, wears a large variety of very colorful costumes that are all a bit hard on the eyes and instantly recognizable. Each always prominently bears a variety of big letter 'G' logos on the chest. He has a fondness for 'vaporwave', 1980's era color schemes and motifs. Additionally, his power signatures are shades of violet and purple, which Rook often gives him a hard time about.
Biography
Born to a wealthy socialite, sired by a globe trotting playboy heir of the Norsworthy fortune, Stephan (STEF-fon, not STEE-VAN) Norsworthy never had anything even vaguely resembling a normal life. His world was one of wealth, privilege, access, and the best of all worldly things. Publically he was the very model of an irresponsible trust fund child, attending the best of prep schools but only when convenient, summering in exotic and expensive locales, rubbing elbows only with other similarly vapid and advantaged people, and otherwise contributing absolutely nothing to anyone else's existance.
However, privately Stephan always nursed a feeling that he should be doing something useful with his life. Perhaps this was due to noblesse oblige but more likely it was engendered in him by his nanny, an elderly British dame named Evelyn Frye that had survived the WW2 bombings of London as a child and had quite an interesting life of her own before becoming a high priced tender of wealthy people's children in her later years. This urge to rise above his decadent lifestyle and social set and give back to the world led Stephan to a fascination with superheroes, who had the courage and ability to make the world a better place. He secretly began to keep track of their doings.
After finishing up college with a meaningless degree from a prestigious university Stephan managed to leverage some connections, good looks, and discretionary funds into a role in a mid-budget superhero movie called the Patriot Missile. Originally he was only going to play a supporting role using the stage name Dash Ransom, but after the lead left the project he ended up taking his place. The Patriot Missle was a superhero with the standard powers of flight, super strength, and invulnerablity and all in all there was nothing really remarkable or interesting about the script. But Stephan's hammy over the top acting, in the vein of a 1940's action adventure serial, had the unintended effect of lending a certain spoofy comedy aspect to the film and it unexpectedly caught on and became a fan favorite. People thought the camp acting was satire, but Stephan was serious. Fortunately, he was too dim to really understand that everyone else thought he was being deliberately funny.
The box office take was enough to ensure a series of Patriot Missile sequels over the next 6 years, and some similar roles in other movies and TV shows as Stephan became typecasted. For a while the success was enough to take Stephan's mind off of the little voice in his head that told him he should be making something out of himself, but the difficult shooting schedules and long hours also put a lot of stress on him. Eventually, he became so fatigued he fell asleep driving in the hills on the way to his mansion and went right off a cliff. His subconscious kicked in, his latent gravity manipulation powers activating to save his life. He woke up floating 3 feet off the ground, near his expensive totaled car, and abruptly fell on his face. He should have been terrified or confused, but instead he was excited. He had powers!
Soon a new hero entered the supers scene of Millennium City known as Gravitic, The Grandmaster of Graviolis! Gravitic soon met and frequently partnered with several other heroes in the area, that eventually coallesced into the supergroup known as the Millennial Men. Working with various of these supers he had many adventures and helped prevent many supercriminals from their dastardly ends. Eventually, it was revealed that his true biological father had sired several gravity controlling scions...including the supervillainess Gravitar!
Capabilities and Motivations
Gravitic is a mutant with gravity manipulation abilities, though not as powerful or as dangerous as his supposed half-sister Gravitar. He is able to do a number of things by raising or lowering gravity and particularly excels at employing control tactics, pinning down and slowing multiple opponents simultaneously. In this regard he worked particularly well with both Hype and Rook on various occasions as their abilities proved to be very synergistic.
As long as Gravitic remains conscious he is able to manipulate gravity around himself to divert and redirect most matter and energy, affording himself a high level of protection from damage, and is able to anchor himself in space so that it is extremely difficult to knock him back by any means.
