Turbulence

**Turbulence**, aka **Dayton Emberton**, is the second member of the superhero team Strike Back. He is also one of the only major superheroes without any actual powers.

## Origin

Dayton Emberton's journey into the world of superheroes began in the humble setting of a poor family. His father had passed away before he was born, leaving his mother as his closest companion. From an early age, Dayton displayed exceptional intelligence, outpacing his peers and skipping four grades in the process. His innate talent for making and engineering set him on a unique path.

Despite the financial challenges, Dayton's brilliance earned him a scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he graduated at the young age of 18. Armed with a vision for the future, he ventured into the business world, establishing Emberton Enterprises, Inc. This company swiftly rose to prominence, becoming one of the largest conglomerates in world history.

Dayton's success reached unparalleled heights as he became the world's youngest millionaire at 19 and then the youngest billionaire at 21. However, as jealousy and competition loomed on the global stage, Dayton observed other countries developing suits to enhance their soldiers. Driven by the desire to surpass these endeavors, he embarked on a personal mission to create a suit that would make him as formidable as any superhero.

After years of dedicated effort, Dayton successfully crafted a technologically advanced suit, incorporating capabilities beyond mere strength, such as flight and weaponry. The government caught wind of his creation and proposed a lucrative deal, aiming to secure the rights to his suit for military use. Tempting as it was, Dayton hesitated, realizing that such an agreement might strip him of the uniqueness he had worked so hard to attain.

Rejecting the government's offer, Dayton faced a crossroads. Recognizing that possessing the suit without a purpose was a flawed idea, he made a crucial decision. Instead of succumbing to a life of excess, he chose to become a superhero, using his suit for the greater good. Adopting the name Turbulence, he embarked on a new chapter, ultimately joining the superhero team Strike Back, where his journey as a formidable force for justice continued alongside other extraordinary individuals, including the team's leader, Patriot Man.

## Appearance

Underneath his suit, Dayton Emberton appears like an ordinary individual with very short brown hair and brown eyes, incapable of growing facial hair despite being 35 years old. Lacking inherent superpowers, he relies on a self-designed suit to grant him abilities. Crafted from a metallic material, the suit prioritizes stronger reinforcements in vital body areas. A grey-blue hue covers the main protective sections, while a dark grey color, resembling a jet, marks the less shielded areas. His mask replicates a jet's cockpit with a stretched acrylic base and a layer of glass, concealing his face. Oxygen tubes extend from the mask to the suit, providing him with the necessary air for underwater, space, and high-speed flight. A distinctive "T" logo adorns the center of his waist, and on his back, he sports two mini jet engines of his own design. These engines, colored to match the suit, propel him at high speeds or allow for controlled levitation. The detachable pack features wings reminiscent of a plane, serving as the launch platform for his most potent missiles, all maintaining the cohesive color scheme.
