Rico Morris, better known as Blight, is a minor antagonist from The Saviors of Sunset City. He is a mutant best known for disintegrating the man he was trying to rob.
== Personality ==
Blight's personality was not well demonstrated in his short appearance. He seemed to be cruel, with a good grasp of problem solving, despite his impulsive nature.
== History ==
=== Origin Story ===
Rico Morris discovered that his powers kill any organic creature he touches at an early age when he killed both of his parents by accident after his powers developed. He was sent to many orphanages, with no one wanting him, until eventually he was forced to make a killing, both literally and metaphorically. He eventually learned wool would suppress his powers, and wears wool clothing and gloves to suppress it.
=== The Saviors of Sunset City ===
The Echelon Eight responded to a call by the superheroine Fauna after she witnessed the mugging and was scared her animal friends could get hurt. Upon seeing the army of heroes coming to kick him to the curb, he reacted impulsively, killing the mugging target named Steve Brown, and using his powers to escape the alley and into a nearby gym. The Eight made quick work of the felon, with a combination of a shot to the stomach, being frozen in place, being grasped by iron, having pocket sand thrown into his face after a Tsuchinami, and a psionic boomerang to the head ending his criminal career. He was promptly arrested and never heard from again.
== Notable Moments ==
* Killing his parents
* Breaking into the gym
* Getting styled on by the Echelon Eight
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Disintegrating Touch ===
When Blight touches organic matter with his bare hands, it disintegrates into ash in moments. He cannot control this aspect of it, though can control whether he disintegrates inorganic matter. His powers can be entirely negated if he wears wool gloves, as they only extend from his hands. He is immune to his own powers.
== Trivia ==
* Blight was inspired by the Arrowverse's depiction of Clive Yorkin from DC Comics.
* Blight's real name was inspired by rigor mortis, the stage of decomposition where the joints stiffen.
