Birth Name: Truman Brown Eruption: Illegal boxing match Nova Name: Firefly Nature: Gallant Series: Allegiance: Aberrant Truman was a show-off. He grew up in Atlana with his lower- middle-class black family. He had to struggle for a while as a child, notably because of his short height. Around 7th grade he got in with the popular crowd, though, began to excel at sports: notably judo and track & field. He got a sports scholarship to college, but never amounted to much there: either in sports or classes. Drug use and lack of effort didn't help. Eventually he graduated in Business, although he had to spend an extra year doing it, working part-time in a retail store. He kept at this for several years, feeling increasingly rebellious and frustrated. He got some into activism, but it didn't really take. Then a friend linked him up into some illegal boxing matches. He was a good candidate since his small size took everyone by surprise. It made him a pretty penny for a few months, but he found that they weren't too careful about weight classes. He was trapped in the ring with a guy over a foot taller than him and built like a brick. Some time in the third round, when he felt like he wanted to blackout and get it over with, suddenly his opponent flew from the ring like a cannonball and shattered on the far wall. At first he was elated, but he felt horrible to learn that his opponent nearly died. Truman's powers made him a miniature powerhouse: able to fly, turn invisible, shrink to 1 inch tall, and fire a bolt of light that can punch through battleships!! Since becoming a nova, he has tried to go straight and be a role-model, but money still flows through him like a sieve and it is hard not to revel in his new-found fame and fortune. He looks to Muhammed Ali as his model of a superstar, and has borrowed a favorite line: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
