Glowworm

A tall, dark skinned young man with strong electric-earth based powers. He enjoys building gadgets in his spare time. He seems to have a natural aptitude for using computers. He is the brother of Sterling Jackson, and the son of Dragonfly, both of whom tragically died at the hand of criminals who were killed before they could be put before a court.

History
Malik grew up without a father in Medicine Hat, Canada. He's only heard stories about him from his older brother, Sterling. Their relationship was... Rocky, to say the least. Sterling constantly pushed Malik to become stronger, saying that one day they would be like their father and become heroes, though Malik had other plans for his life.

By the time he was nine, his older brother was completely out of his life. He grew much closer to his maternal grandfather who was an engineer. By the time he was twelve, he was already building robots for fighting each other. It wasn't anything special by today's standards, but he made his grandfather very proud.

When he was around fourteen, he was taught about his father, Dragonfly, in school and realised how similar he really was to him. Tall, slim and much smarter than his peers. He felt a need to go out and find his brother, wherever he is in the world.

His searching proved fruitful when he saw him on TV during The Proving Grounds tournament. Inspired by his brother's resolve, he started taking after school classes in judo to prepare him for, maybe one day, teaming up with his brother. After all, he must have powers. Somewhere.

Malik finally got to meet his older brother at the Retribution Night tournament. Sterling told him, "Soon, we can make up the years I was gone for and I can be the big brother you deserve."

He took his brother's death hard, but didn't stop training. Seeing it as carrying on both the legacy of Sterling and their father. The weight of it all was worth the trouble, as soon he developed hybrid powers - electricity and earth. He began working on his Glowworm costume and persona and attended the ZPA Class 1999-2000 (#3). He was the youngest ever attendant at age 17 and graduated from The Wards after only four years.

Nothing can stop Malik from achieving his dreams.

Story
In Season 2, Malik joined The LA Rangers because he heard that some of Sterling's old friends were in it. He was overjoyed to hear that he was accepted and finally took on the mantle of "Hero".

Power
Malik can manipulate both electricity and earth, making him a Hybrid-class parahuman. He has great control of his powers, though seems to favour his electric side.
