Clay Dillinger

Clay Dillinger is a blue-band Alpha with the power of light manipulation — specifically, the power to make people or objects invisible.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Clay is a twin, and like most postertwins, he and his brother share two branches of a similar power: Herb could manipulate light to make people see things that weren't there, while Clay can make things appear invisible. Their parents got them into performing at an early age, and the boys took to it like fish to water. Between Herb's illusions and Clays disappearing acts, the Dashing Dillingers were just beginning to make a name for themselves as stage magicians when Herb pulled a vanishing act of his own, failing to return home from school one day.
His parents divorced two years after Herb disappeared, and it was decided that it would be easier for everyone if Clay went to a boarding school instead of split custody. In truth, it was difficult for them to be around their son. Clay had been a quiet, submissive boy, but after Herb went missing, Clay’s personality flipped. He took on his brother’s mannerisms, pulling on his bravado and charm to a truly unsettling degree. He was trying to be the gregarious, friendly boy that his twin had been. They couldn’t live with a living, breathing ghost of Herb. It tore apart their marriage, and in the end, was too much for either of them to handle.quipquipquip: Things To Know About Clay Dillinger
