**Brandon Breyer** (also known as **Brightburn** in promotional materials) is the main character of the 2019 superhero horror film Brightburn.

## Background

Brandon Breyer crashed into Earth on a spaceship in Brightburn, Kansas near the farm of Tori and Kyle Breyer, who desperately wanted a child, but Tori was infertile. Brandon seemingly came from the heavens and answered their prayers. Brandon would live a mostly normal childhood until he turned 12 and started lashing out at many people in his life. It was when he was 12 when Brandon discovered his alien heritage and became enamored with power and killing with his superhero disguise, being known in the promotional material as Brightburn.

## Stats

**Attack Potency:** At least **Wall Level,** (Kills humans with his bare hands. Dropped a truck from several feet in the air with one hand. Destroyed a freezer door. Casually wrecked his own house’s walls.) possibly higher (Destroyed a building through unknown means)

**Speed:** Possibly **Subsonic** (Moves faster than the eye can see regularly. Turned on a laptop with music in the time it takes for a girl to walk to her bed without audibly opening any windows or manipulating the keys.)

**Durability:** At least **Wall Level** (Completely unharmed by the wreckage of a plane crash he caused. Takes no damage from hunting rifles. Apparently has never taken any damage in his life until the material on his spaceship cut him.)

**Hax:** **Flight**, **Technology Manipulation**, possible **Fear Manipulation**, **Resistance to ailments** (has never been seen by his parents as having a sick day in his life), possible **Regeneration** (appears to have healed his one injury caused by his spaceship rather quickly)

**Intelligence:** **Fairly high** (Has a knowledge of human anatomy, as well as extensive knowledge on species of animals that seem to have a power hierarchy within the species, such as wasps.)

**Stamina:** **High** (Has apparently never been harmed until he was cut by his spaceship, has never been sick, and is often found staying up late without any negative repercussions on his health.)
