Lil Mayhem (Bill O'Reilly) (Earth-919)

## Appearance

He is a young, very cute child with light green skin and shaggy, dark green hair. His left arm is, from the elbow down, made of darkforce energy, while his right is made of lightforce energy. He constantly excludes a form of green gas which follows him everywhere. He has small claws on each of his hands.

## Relationships

* Brigid O’Reilly (Mayhem) - Mother
* Tandy Bowen (Dagger) - Aunt
* Tyrone Johnson (Cloak) - Uncle

## Powers/Abilities

As a result of his mother being revived by Cloak and Dagger and getting super powers while pregnant with him , he shares some of powers from each of them, including:

* **Paralytic Gas Exudation**: Like his mother, Billy exudes a type of gas from the pores in his body. The gas is less effective than the one his mother makes, but still can paralyze anyone who breathes it in for a short time.
* **Lightforce Generation**: As a result of Mayhem’s exposure to ightforce when she was pregnant with him, he can generate lightforce energy from his arm. Due to his age his powers are weaker than Dagger's, so he cannot detox people like she can, but his powers are still strong enough to create lightforce daggers and manipulate the lightforce slightly.
* **Darkforce Conduit**: As a result of Mayhem’s exposure to Darkforce when she was pregnant with him, he can generate darkforce energy from his arm. Due to his age his powers are weaker than Cloak's, so he cannot teleport, but his powers are still strong enough to create a shield of darkness and go intangible for a small amount of time.
* **Flight**: Like his mother, Billy has the ability to fly on his own.
* **Ageless**: Due to the nature of his birth, it is unknown if he will age like regular humans or if he is truly even alive.

## Weaknesses

* **Lightforce Limitations**: Billy’s lightforce power cannot be used on non-living objects.
* **Darkforce Limitations**: Billy’s Darkforce powers do not affect non-living objects.
* **Overuse**: Since Lightforce is a form of human lifeforce, overusing it could kill Billy.
* **Underuse**: Since Billy naturally creates Lightforce, he has to expel it at least once a week, or he will become delirious and feverish.
* **Life Force Hunger**: As Billy is connected to the dark dimension, he must allow his darkforce side to absorb the energy of his lightforce side to satisfy his craving. Billy has to focus to do this and this can make him unavailable for some time.

## Equipment

* **Mini Cloak**: A small cloak, very similar to Cloaks, it helps him channel his powers and keeps them under control. Said to be a piece of Cloak’s cloak he gifted to Billy

## Personality

A bubbly young kid, he is very extroverted and sweet, always making his opinions known in the loudest possible voice. Despite the pressure that comes with having powers at such a young age, Billy always tries to have fun.

## History

When Brigid O'Reilly, a police detective and ally to the crime fighting duo Cloak and Dagger, was murdered by a group of corrupt police officers, Cloak and Dagger rushed to try to save her life. Cloak surrounded her with a protective darkforce shield while Dagger attempted to use lightforce to revive her. Unfortunately, she did die, but the power of the lightforce and darkforce mixed with the toxic gas used to kill her and brought her back as the super powered vigilante, Mayhem.

Unbeknownst to her, she was actually pregnant at the time of her death and continued to be after her revival. Because Mayhem was now a walking corpse, it took many years for her to begin to show signs she was pregnant, and even longer for the baby to fully develop and be born. With the help of the Avengers Mayhem successfully delivered a child, Bill O'Reilly, named after a close friend of Cloak’s. Due to the way Mayhem was revived, Billy was born with his powers, which were very hard to control at first. Partially because of this and because of their closeness to Mayhem, Cloak and Dagger ended up being very active in raising Billy, acting as his favourite Aunt and Uncle, and being his mentors in how to use his power.
