Gardner, Jonathan
Construct
Construct
AGE: 17
GENDER: Male
TEAM: HIVE
SIDE: Anti Hero
OCCUPATION: HIVE - Leader/ "Villain" and "Mercenary" as well as "Government Agent"
HISTORY:
When Jonathan Gardner was born, the Guardians of the Universe were worried because of something they had detected that was 'wrong' with him, namely that he possessed an innate connection to the Emotional Spectrum. This connection would allow him to use the main abilities of the Rings without the need for a color or a power ring at his disposal. Such a thing had never, in the history of the universe occurred, even once. As more and more enemies came up in outer-space, Guy Gardner was deployed on more and more space missions. With that, Ice was forced to raise Johnny and try to teach him to control the abilities he possessed. Unfortunately, as she had little experience with the abilities he possessed that didn't go so well.
Eventually she came down with a terminal illness when he was about twelve years of age. Forced to make a deal with Cadmus for the cure, Jonathan accepted their offer, and went to train with them. For five years he practiced boxing, and learned tactics and strategy. How to drive a motorcycle was one of the things he picked up on, and Jonathan was also taught how to control his abilities. After the training was completed, because they needed someone to keep an eye on the Titans, they moved Jonathan to Jump City and have assigned him to put together a new Hive Team.
FAMILY:
Guy Gardner (Father)
Ice (Mother)
Fenrir (Pet, a Mutated Wolf. )
PERSONALITY:
Due to his training at the hands of Cadmus, Jonathan is very disciplined. Jonathan has been made to believe that the Teen Titans, and similar heroic groups pose a threat to the world, though he is not entirely sure of that. Jonathan possesses a strong mastery over each of the emotions represented by a Lantern Corps, even if he doesn't particularly want to choose one himself. Jonathan is determined that he is going to step out from the shadow of Guy Gardner, no matter what it personally takes him in order to do so. Being a "villain" is not something he enjoys, to say the least. However, it is something that he believes mandatory if he is to indeed stand a chance of learning how to control his powers without picking a Corps to belong to.
Jonathan wants to prove himself capable of honoring Guy's legacy, and if possible wants to wield all the Power Rings. However, he knows that such is likely to not be possible for him, even though he possesses his own abilities. Jonathan is also somewhat jealous of those who wield a ring, because they are so much more capable than he is, and he doesn't know why that is.

Abilities:
Emotional Spectrum Connection:
Jonathan is one of the rare individuals who was born with a connection to the Emotional Spectrum. What this means is that he possesses abilities similar to those of Argentt, or Jade. Johnny is capable of manipulating a Silver colored Light into constructs, blasts, and tractor beams. He's also capable of using it to amplify his own strength, speed, and durability. Furthermore, he can use it to fly, and shoot laser beams from his eyes with the silver energy. At present he is capable of ONLY using Silver energy.
CONTROL: 6
SIDE-AFFECTS: His hair is standing upwards normally, and his eyes are glowing silver as is his body.
WEAKNESSES:
- The Emotional Spectrum: While the Emotional Spectrum is one of his greatest strengths, it is also one of his greatest weaknesses in that should he not remain disciplined, he could be consumed by the emotions that he channels and projects outwards.
- Loss of Control: Should he lose focus, and become undisciplined, he would lose control of his abilities.
- Inferior to an Actual Lantern: Jonathan does not possess the aid of a ring which externalizes the process of making constructs, blasts or Force Fields. Nor does he possess any of the other capabilities of a Ring at his disposal whatsoever. In a way, he is under-equipped compared to the various Lantern Cores because of that, one might say that he's....inferior.
- Legacy: Jonathan is desperate to live up to the legacy of his dad, even if he is not sure if he will ever actually get a ring.
- Explosive: An explosive in his neck that Cadmus can detonate at any time.
- Disease: One of the other means of controlling him is the disease his mother has, Cadmus has the only supply of antidote, so he must do their bidding and will, in order to keep Ice alive.
- Lack of AI: Jonathan does not have an AI like the one inside the Power Rings to help him.
- Personal Battery: Unlike the rings, Johnny is the personal battery for the constructs that he can make. as well as the various blasts, and Force Fields he can make.
- Limited Time in the Air: In order to conserve his energy for when he needs it, Johnny typically prefers not to fly for prolonged periods of time, so will come down from the air, after about three posts.o
- No Translation: Jonathan is incapable of understanding multiple languages, in part due to never having training in that, but also because he lacks the translator that is integrated into most of the rings.
- Constructs: His constructs are inferior to that of an actual Lantern, because he is his own power supply. While they may be able to store tons of power into an external mechanism, he is not able to do so. This puts his constructs at a weaker level than that of most Lanterns.
- Limited Capabilities: Due to not wearing a Power Ring, Jonathan has limited capabilities compared to most of the Lanterns.
- Incompatibility: Jonathan is presently incapable of using the colors of the Emotional Spectrum save for silver, and probably will never be able to use any others.
"In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night, my enemies will soon face their final fright. Sure I may not wield a colored light, but I have my own source of Might. Maybe what I thought is true, that the only color I should wield is Silver."
INTRODUCTION:
"It's not your fight, Johnny...." said Guy, as he looked at Johnny who was near the armory. Johnny looked at the room that contained the rings that had sought him out. "But they'll likely destroy you dad!" Guy looked down and ruffled the hair of Johnny, who was about ten. "Trust me son, you'll be able to wield a ring when you're truly ready. I don't want you to make a rush decision...." He'd punch Johnny in the shoulder playfully.
The memory ended, and Johnny moved his brain back to the here and now. Focusing on the files that had been delivered to him by Cadmus he began to go over them. They were on potential candidates for the team that he was assigned to put together. While he did want to be a hero, and honor the legacy of the Gardners, he was forced to do otherwise in order to save his mother. Sure the hero community could likely treat the ailment, but he had already made the deal and was so legally bound to honor his terms that he had stated.
Shei was an acceptable member. However, they were going to need more than just him and her. As he thought about that, he sighed, and looked out the window of the refurbished Hive Tower. He had a lot of work to do if he was to succeed.
"Looks like I've got my work cut out for me," sighed Johnny as he went to where his motorcycle was. While he really didn't like working for Cadmus he did know they had one desirable thing going for them, namely that they made good rides for him.
