*"You can break my body, but you'll never break my spirit. As long as I have people to fight for, I will never give up." - Cataclus*

**Cataclus** is a character from the storyline Pupa Linono, originating from Earth-030422 (DC Earth). Cataclus is a 22-year-old former secret agent who is very quick-witted and never shies away from a challenge. He cares about his friends' lives more than his own and is not afraid to risk his life for other's safety.

## Background

Christopher grew up an only-child to a widowed father. His dad always pressured him to carry on his legacy of being in the police force, so much so that his dad forcefully taught him how to fight at a young age and enrolled him in the force without his permission in his late teens. During this time, he lost all emotion and became a meaningless void without purpose or direction. He excelled so well in his department, however, that he eventually moved up the ranks and was recruited by Agent 7, who saw the potential in his talent and put him into the Agent forces.

Chanceler and Christopher became great partners. Over time, Christopher regained his sense of purpose. It was around this time that his dad tragically died due to unknown medical reasons. Christopher, with his new sense of purpose, was free from his father's shackles and now wanted to pursue happiness, but Chanceler did not take this well and forced Christopher to stay in the agency.

One day, when Chanceler and Christopher were on an investigation at an old, abandoned factory, Christopher tripped on some old wires. He fell into, and subsequently broke, a damaged power reactor core and was electrocuted to death. As it turned out, the radioactive electrons he was shocked by had fused with his DNA. When he was revived using defibrillators, the shocks woke the dormant electrons in his body, causing his new powers to awaken.

When he regained consciousness, he noticed he could feel his body buzzing, and that his eyes had turned completely white. Over time, he figured out that he was able to change the channels on TVs using his fingers and even turn of and on electrical equipment. He realized he was given a second chance, so he took this as an opportunity to become his own person, leaving everyone behind.

He told Chanceler that he was leaving the agency and an argument ensued, ending with him having to make an agreement with Chanceler that if he were to tell anyone about his secret identity, he would not be afraid to electrocute him. And so they parted ways, with Christopher dawning his new identity of Cataclus.

## Powers and Abilities

Cataclus can harness the power of electricity and release it as a sudden explosive blast. He can also store energy he gets from anything that contains energy and let out a powerfully focused beam of energy that is hot enough to melt anything. He also possesses enhanced speed, strength, and dexterity, as well as super-healing.

## Artifacts

### Claws

Cataclus's main weapon, besides his electricity, is his metallic claws attached to his suit right above his wrists. Forged when he used his powers to melt down scrap metal into a cast, these claws are extremely sharp and cannot be retracted. To avoid accidentally scratching his hands, he wears leather gloves.

## Trivia

* The creation of Cataclus the character was inspired by the game LEGO DC Super-Villains.
* Cataclus frequently has to think about where his hands will move during battle so that he does not accidentally hurt himself or bystanders by mistake.
