Powers and Abilities
Hartly can heighten the density of air until it becomes a viscous fluid, and can control it. Usually, he uses it to form obstacles or drown people into amorphous masses of dense air.
History
Hartly is one of the superhuman thugs working security for the affluent hi-tech society Data Highway. DH is actually a front for the d’Angelo mob.
Along with his pal Shiv, he very nearly murdered Nick Kovac. This occurred after Kovac was marked for death for having examined d’Angelo’s Argus statue.
Description
See illustration.
Personality
Callous, middle aged hardened criminal. He’s obviously dangerous, and something of a misanthrope. He smokes cigarillos.
Quotes
