A long time ago in a different time and space - Two interstellar nations fought a better war.  It was knockdown drag out. One side of this war was a multispecies government.  They saw themselves as the good guys. 
One of their weapons systems was their version of Iron Man Armor.  One person, high mobility striker.
These folks were good at bio-technology. and high energy sci-fi technology.
So.  Instead of building a metal casing and sticking devices on it, they built a symbiont that could bond with any species in their nation.
One soldier of this war was in a battle and it went... poorly.  What with one thing and another, he fell to Earth and died. His symbiont was with him and was damaged. In order to preserve itself (And thus it's combat ability for its home nation.) the symbiont did the only thing it could to survive. 
It grabbed a native life form and bonded with him. 
That was Reggie. 
Now in all the death and destruction, the symbiont was injured and took damage.  It wasn't in great shape when it grabbed Reggie. 
The symbiont is strung all over Reggies Body and nervous system.  It cannot be removed without killing Reggie. 
The symbiont retained no knowledge of what the enemy was or what it looked like.  Just that the enemy existed and was out to kill the symbiont, the good guy nation, and probably anyone else that got in the way. (This is because Jay hadn't made up the enemy yet and wanted it to be open for future expansion, or to let the GM come up with something fun)
For the special effect, I put down "Ionic Energy" which is the sort of idiot technobabble a comic book would come up with. This is a science-fiction energy type that is different from Star Trek Energy types but can be understood by them. 
The abilities. 
Reggie can fly.  Slowly for now but more and more as the system repairs itself.  About 200 mph in the air now.  He has built-in blasters. The energy is tuned against the enemy and so is particularly effective against them, but comes off as generic against non-Enemy targets. 
Reggie can do straight energy blasts or stun blasts. 
Reggie has a personal force field, that can ward off his own blasts.   It's good against personal phasers or kinetic energy. Suzy says he can take a few hits from her but she can eventually put him down. 
But against larger anti-aircraft missiles, hellfires, and so on, his shield cannot take a direct hit. 
He also has life support for being in space. 
The system essentially gives him a second brain that is focused on tactical matters.   They argue sometimes. 
The System has 360-degree sensors.  So Reggie has the equivalent of night vision, 360 awareness.  The Combat System can analyze things Reggie sees with a different knowledge set than Reggie uses. 
The visible effects of this are - Reggie has a visible pattern on his skin, body, hands and part of his face that looks like circutry.  It's not circuitry but its the visible manifestation of a soldier with this system installed.  (Think  of something Jack Kirby might draw)
Reggies eyes are now yellow and glow when he is using his sensors, sometimes his Symbiont can make his eyes glow to empahsize a point. 
Reggie has been this way since the Smush. Reggie is a reserve member of DSH along with Jane.  They both decided to stay in Vista City and with the VCPD in order to try and lend their new talents to keeping order in Vista City.
