Origin:
Croyd was born to a poor family in Bludhaven. His father had left
shortly after the birth of Croyd's younger sister, Cynthia. Croyd was a
smart kid but it was obvious to him and the rest of the world that
Cynthia's IQ was off the scale. Determined to provide for his mother
and
make sure that Cynthia could do whatever she wanted, Croyd worked very
hard to provide for the family. He worked two jobs while going through
medical school. He ended up being a general practitioner- as he wanted
to get out in the world so that more of his money could go to others.
Croyd also enjoyed helping people but on some level, he felt that he
was
missing something. He envied superheroes because they were able to help
people and get recognition for it. He also looked up to them because
all
of them had perfect bodies, whereas he was tall and gangly.
After his sister graduated at age 17 with a degree in bio engineering
she got a job at STAR LABS in New York City. When he visited her, he
was
amazed at the set up and the fact that they had people like Cyborg
stopping by all the time. Cynthia saw the wonder and joy in her older
brother's eyes, for the first time in ages. So she ended up getting him
a job there, so they could still be together.
Things went well, Croyd helped with the Dial H experiments as well as
other. He put in long hours, willing to help anyone with a project and
having little or no social life. Croyd was enjoying himself, but every
so often he questioned why STAR LABS wasn't using the Dial to actually
help people instead of test it.
Then the Crensons world was turned upside down.... the Feds for some
reason, busted STAR LABS and started ushering the employees to their
vans for debriefing. Croyd was inspecting the dial for the umpteenth
time when he heard the cops break in. He became Day Dream- he had any
power that the Day Dreamer could think of. Unfortunately the Day
Dreamer
was his sister, who did not know that she could give unlimited powers
to
her brother. Cynthia was picturing her brother staying out of the Feds
way, being invisible and escaping.
Needless to say- that's exactly what happened. Croyd was unable to
control himself from doing anything but escaping. Leaving his
co-workers
and sister to the clutches of the Feds.
An hour later, Croyd was safe but felt miserable that with so much
potential power he had let his sister get captured. He spent the next
few months, trying to keep low and find someone to talk to. Croyd feels
that several teams, like the outsiders, know and don't care and is not
sure who to trust. He has recently ended up in Gotham as he's heard
good
things about both Huntress and Nightwing and feels that either of them
would be able to help
Powers: Croyd posses the Dial H amulet( currently fashioned into a belt
buckle). With it he is able to transform into a random hero once every
24 hours. The transformation lasts for one hour and at the onset the
user knows what their new hero name is and their powers.
Abilities: Croyd is a trained physician. He also has received
instructions on various STAR projects, as he showed a keen interest in
everything around him
