==Background==
Maverick was born in the early 2000s, and shortly after his birth, his parents accepted Vought's offer to inject him with Compound V, subsequently transforming him into a Supe and granting him superhuman powers and abilities. Sometime later, Maverick's parents divorced early on in his life. Nevertheless, he continued to spend time with his father, strengthening their bond.The Female of the Species
As a young adult, Maverick decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a superhero, furthering his education at Godolkin University and majoring in crimefighting at the prestigious Lamplighter School of Crimefighting. While at the university, Maverick eventually became an R.A. and formed a deep romantic relationship with Sloane.

==Powers and Abilities==
===Powers===
*Carbon Skin: Maverick has the ability to reorder his skin into a carbon metamaterial, granting him invisibility. Maverick's powers are similar to his father Translucent.
**Invisibility: Maverick becomes invisible while being on his carbon metamaterial state since his carbon skin bends the light around his body. Like his father, he is not able to bend light beyond himself, requiring him to be naked to be fully invisible.
*Superhuman Strength: Maverick possesses superhuman strength, which makes him stronger than humans and some Supes. With his strength, he overpowered Marie Moreau in a fight, throwing her back several feet. 
*Superhuman Durability: Maverick possesses unspecified superhuman durability powers. However, it appears that his durability is not as strong as his father's as Maverick was knocked out by Marie with an object. Additionally his skin had a laceration on it, meaning it was not impenetrable.
*Superhuman Hearing: Maverick possesses superhuman hearing, allowing him to hear better than humans. Like all Supes, he can hear higher frequencies that humans cannot.Bob in First Day: "Did you know Supes have a wider range of hearing than us? Like dogs."
==Weaknesses==
===Biological===
*High Frequencies: Due to being a Supe, Maverick is susceptible to high frequencies. When a high frequency is playing, it can induce immense pain and temporarily neutralize him. During a massacre at Godolkin University, Maverick is momentarily neutralized through the use of a high-frequency alarm.
