Daniel Palmer

Dr. **Daniel "Danny" Palmer** is a physicist and a metahuman. He is the biological son of Bruce Wayne, biological litlle brother of Dick Grayson, biological twin brother of Josh Grayson, adoptive brother of Ray and Sydney Palmer. He was in Central City, during the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator exploded, he discovered that he had developed telekinesis and various other abilities derived from it. Using these super powers, he began acting as the vigilante known as **Night Guardian**.

## Personality

Danny is kind, caring, selfless, observant and intelligent person who always wants to do good and would have sacrificed his own life so that another could have lived. He can sometimes be cocky, arrogant and sarcastic, making jokes about needy every situation, but would become serious and demanding when the situation called for it.

He is willing go to extreme lengths to save those close to him, caring a great deed for both of his parents and his older brother. He is shown a merciful and compassionate nature, consistently extending an offer to help even his most dangerous enemies before putting a stop to their evil deeds. However, when his patience reached its limit or his enemies were duplicitous, they received no mercy or second chances. He would also try to avoid harming those who were not in control of their actions, as well as defend them from their captors or those who would cause them further harm.

Despite being considered a good person, he didn't think of himself as one, seeming more susceptible to changes in personality; he grew more vicious, unforgiving, and developed a short temper when he didn't have company to restrain his dark side. He can also be ruthless at times, and would strike down those who committed horrific acts.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Telekinesis:** Danny has telekinesis of extreme strength and magnitude. He is able to telekinetically move, levitate, control, and manipulate people, and multiple inanimate objects with mere thought via his hands or eyes alone. He can use this to various effects. He is able to fly, create telekinetic force fields, unleash incredibly powerful blasts of telekinetic force and, freely control and manipulate several objects from a huge distance. Since his abilities are mind-based, it means that if he's unable to concentrate or form a thought, he's unable to use his powers. This also means that most of his powers are controlled by his emotions and feelings and can often get out of hand if he gets angry enough, causing nearby objects to telekinetically combust or random destructive telekinetic bursts to happen, even sending things flying depending on how passionate he's feeling. He can now control matter at a molecular level. He caused someone to bleed from every orifice, killing them slowly and also annihilate someone on an subatomic level with a snap of his fingers. While he rarely ever uses hand-to-hand combat, when he does, it's often pumped with his telekinesis behind it, making it a formidable attack. The telekinesis generally forms a shield around his fist and body and that allows him to pretty much punch through everything if necessary, simply because of the amount of thought he puts behind it.

* **Invulnerability:** Daniel can mentally grant himself a form of telekinetic durability which basically is an invisible skin of armor that will come to their aid when it is required. While the armor is being used, he is virtually untouchable. Unfortunately, it will only work if he is prepared for whatever form of harm is threatening him, and if he fail to react in time, it can result in him being seriously injured or even killed.
* **Psionic burst:** Danny displayed this ability only once, when he got angry with Vandal Savage. This ability was unrefined and so it was highly destructive, destroying a large part of a wall in mere seconds.
