[b]Age:[/b] 31
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Alliance:[/b] Supervillain
[b]Interests:[/b] Books and stories (including fanfiction) | running | swimming | looking at art

[b]Appearance:[/b] While his older brother tends to dress rather fancily, Derek prefers a more casual appearance. You'll rarely see him dressed up, unless his brother forces him into a suit. *[url=http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/170/b/6/watch_dogs_by_doubleleaf-d542wwh.jpg](Yes I know this is Aiden from Watch Dogs)[/url] [size=6]Credit to Doubleleaf on Deviantart[/size]

I believe that the picture is concept art from DC but the source page was blocked so I can't tell.[/size]

[b]Personality:[/b] He considers himself somewhat of a polar opposite of his brother. Derek loves to laugh and have a good time, although his sense of humor is usually on the darker side. It's usually hard for him to hold a grudge, but he does not forget the more serious crimes against him that easily. He likes to observe other people and sometimes forgets that he can actually be affected by them since he usually acts from a distance. However, he's quite the procrastinator when it comes to big projects, which has made him seem somewhat unreliable to his brother, although he usually still manages to get it done last-minute.

[b]Abilities/Super power:[/b] [u]CONTROLLING INANIMATE OBJECTS[/u]: He can make inanimate objects move on their own. However, larger objects take more concentration, and distance also affects how much focus he needs. He isn't very good at this particular skill, and mainly only uses it to slide things (such as his phone) to him from across the floor when he's too lazy to get it himself. He's never managed to move anything larger than a guitar case. When his skill developed into hacking devices, he lost the ability to move anything that doesn't run on some form of electricity, whether that be a charger, wall plug, or even just batteries.
[u]"HACKING" INTO ELECTRONIC DEVICES[/u]: This skill branched out from his object-controlling when he was an early teen. When he touches something electronic, he can access the data on it, allowing him to look through it and alter it however he sees fit. He can also bypass passwords and other protective programs.

[b]History:[/b] He first started discovering his powers when he could make he was 7, and discovered that he could move his toys to himself from across the room. He immediately showed his older brother, Daniel, who he loved and respected. He thought that Daniel would think it was cool. His brother told him to keep his powers a secret between the two of them, and Derek obeyed. He found that he had a special knack for controlling things that ran on electricity. When he started taking an interest to video games in his teenage years, he accidentally discovered how he could hack into the game and give himself things such as unlimited items. Of course, as he grew older he did this less, as it took away the fun from the game.
When his older brother started fighting crime, he couldn't resist joining in the fun. By using his abilities to help out his older brother, they could easily find criminals through hacking into certain internet sites. He also found that he could find the location of the criminal's phone with his abilities, and thus track them down.
When Daniel began taking down the superheroes of their former squad, Derek joined him, his loyalty to his brother outweighing his loyalty to the squad. His brother was known to be the tougher one of the two, as Derek himself was rather scrawny in comparison. However, he has always been a very good runner.

[b]Extra information:[/b] He's been known to play video games in his spare time, especially since he can "hack" the games.
