Blue Talon

Blue Talon (born **Michael Andreas Miga**; September 15, 2006) is a crime fighting vigilante and the leader of the Future Five. He was trained to fight by Black Bear from the young age of 14. He is known for using gadgets, weapons, and a unique kicking style of fighting.

## Personal Life

Michael Andreas Miga was born at Michael Garron Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, on September 15, 2006. His father, Matthew Miga, was a Mechanical Engineer. His mother, Monica Kinski, works as a nurse at Toronto Western Hospital. His sister Miranda Miga is thirteen years his junior. Their father passed away two months after his sisters birth, from a brain tumor which went unchecked for too long.

Michael went to high school at Victoria Park collegiate, in the International Baccalaureate program, and graduating with high regards. Once he finished high school he didn't return to activities like basketball or swimming, instead he began working as a personal trainer at GoodLife Fitness where he continues to work.

Michael is a vegetarian and has trouble being around raw meats or dead animals.

## Vigilantism

### **Bluejay**

Michael Miga was found by Black Bear, by chance, after he was attacked and mugged on his way home from basketball practice, in 2020 at the age of 14. Black Bear offered him the opportunity to train with him and learn defensive and later offensive combat. Although, for a long period of time, Michael was not getting very far with training, and was told by Black Bear to quit, he persisted and came to impress his mentor.

He began his foray into vigilantism after his two years of training with Black Bear, taking on the codename Bluejay. They fought many small time criminals together, but their main adversary was the group known as the Chess Club.

### **Meta Development**

After the vaccine was administered worldwide, Michael was one of the small percentage of affected people who developed a metahuman ability. During a night raid on a drug run he was cut with a knife across his sternum, but the wound began to heal minutes later. This ability would apply to any injury, even mortal ones, though the effect takes significant amount of energy from elsewhere in his body, resulting in symptoms such as desperate hunger, profusive sweating, dehydration, nausea, or fainting.

### **Solo**

After many years of working alongside Black Bear their relationship changed for the worse when Black Bear demanded Bluejay kill a criminal that he had restrained. The two shared their difference of opinion on killing, and went their separate ways. From that point onward Bluejay called himself Blue Talon. After a year of separation, Black Bear asked Blue Talon to join him on a mission. The mission, it turned out, was a plan to judge whether Blue Talon was capable of leading the team Dr. Walter Keele was putting together.

#### **The Tor**

Dr Keele put Michael in charge of leading the Future Five (the name was decided on a few weeks later) to help watch over North America's greatest city, and keeping the members of the team in check. He didn't feel capable of leading a team of people so overpowering, but eventually they all came to work nearly flawlessly together.

## Face of the Future

Michael was reluctantly forced into leading the ragtag group of metas, and found that over the course of two months he would find his footing and become able to juggle his own needs with being the hero that the city, and soon the world, would take note of.

## Facing The Future

### Humber College

At the beginning of the story we learn that Blue Talon has signed off on having a superhero training program in his name at Humber College. This program is a 3 year training for students who want to engage in the philanthropic areas of superheroism, and the business aspects of doing so as well.

### Black Talon

It is revealed in the third episode of Facing the Future that a very *different* Michael Miga is the Overlord known as Black Talon.

## Relationships

### Brother Grimm

Blue Talon met Brother Grimm while being led through the TOR Headquarters. At first Blue Talon had a slight discomfort with the magical aspects of Brother Grimm's superpowers, but that eventually changed after enough time exposed to him and the truth of the bigger world of magic. After spending enough time together alone meeting with the Illuminati, the two of them came to understand each other and formed a bond.

On the mission to capture Bjorn the Fairy Killer, Blue Talon made the hard choice not to hand him over to the winter court and instead give the killer over to the TOR to which Brother Grimm took him aside afterward and thanked him.

From that point onward Blue Talon looked to Brother Grimm as a sort of Human Resources for the group. In Blue Talon's eyes he is the heart of the whole operation.

### Chimera

Chimera stood out as being troublesome for the other members to wrangle at the tail end of their fight with Gator and Silhouette, when he threatened the two with death. The team backed him against a wall by telling him indelicately not to kill the two criminals. After leaving the scene entirely, Chimera went on his own outside of Sick Kids Hospital and sat on the curb. Once the scene cleared up Blue Talon went to talk alone with him and try to make sense of his reactions, and explain his point of view. That talk started a bond between the two of them.

Since that point, they shared a moment on top of the broken Laboratory after the fight with the Four Elements. Chimera elected to tell Blue Talon about his bloodlust.

At another point after meeting INSTER REPORTERS NAME Blue Talon ran into Chimera while we was mourning for his family in the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery on his way home.

Chimera and Blue Talon's relationship changed after Chimera vanquished the Spider and saved the team. The personality dynamic became a lot more by-the-books, and Chimera was more open to listening to instruction.

### Ghost

Before they were ever contracted by the TOR Blue Talon and Ghost had worked together a few times, although the latter was known as Freefall at the time. After the death of Macy Masterson the two didn't meet again until they began contract work for the TOR.

After their second time being introduced to each other at TOR headquarters, the two of them bonded over being the two already established Vigilantes on the team with the most seemingly minor metahuman abilities.

During the "Busy Weekend" when the team was meeting with the different magical factions of Toronto, the two of them only visited one group together: The Maw.

Blue Talon was one of the first people Ghost opened up to about the murder of his ex-girlfriend Macy Masterson.

Ghost consistently tries to push Blue Talons authority by contradicting orders given to him, and finding ways around doing what he is asked. Eventually Blue Talon had to sit Ghost down and gave him a stern talk about his leadership, and what he expected from his team. From that point onward Ghost did only exactly as he was told, unless he had opportunity to take care of his own business.

### Horizon

Horizon's first interaction with Blue Talon as part of the group was to refuse working together and to threaten to leave the group. Blue Talon worked to convince him to stay and help the team out. Since that day the two of them have worked hard to create an amicable and friendly atmosphere for the members of the group.

Together, Horizon and Blue Talon have been putting part of their efforts to helping their comrade Chimera to feel like an asset to the group.

Blue Talon fears that Horizon's capabilities and previous experience in the MHR give him a leg up as a leader, though he trusts Horizon's input and holds him in the highest regards out of the rest of the group. In several asides, Horizon has explained how his abilities function and the way he feels about his own powers, which helped to ease Blue Talon's growing concerns.

The two of them are extremely efficient, as a pair together, when it comes to their missions.

### Tytania

After the events of February 2031 and the fall of the Spider. Blue Talon continued working together with the Future Five, however he also found time to continue to perform his vigilatism on his off time. He stopped many villains and crimelords with helpful anonymous tips, however, some of the people he was after were getting caught and stopped by a different vigilante that he couldn't identify. They started to leave notes on their victims for each other, and eventually had the chance to meet in person in the middle of a fight.

The two paired up and became a crime fighting duo, whenever Blue Talon wasn't doing work for the Tor. But he never told Tytania about that line of work, or about Black Bear.

### Black Bear

Michael Miga met Black Bear on his way home from basketball practice in high school, after he was mugged by an unknown group of thugs. Black Bear offered to walk home with Michael to ensure he felt safe, and then offered to teach him how to protect himself. From that point onward, Michael would continue to learn combat and how to handle protective weaponry and also grew closer and closer to Black Bear. It wasn't until 2 years of training that Michael would don his classic gear and become Bluejay.

They would continue to work together for another 6 years, stopping crime and directly fighting injustice. Eventually Michael would be told Black Bear's secret identity and the two of them could work together more closely. Michael would never learn that Black Bear works as an agent for the TOR, but would learn that although being taught never to outright kill a target Black Bear doesn't follow the code he instructed. This discovery would be the cause of a rift between the two which would change the nature of their relationship so fundamentally that only a year later would Michael consider working with Black Bear again.

After being reached out to, Black Bear used the opportunity to test Michael's abilities to lead a mission on whether he was fit to lead Dr. Keele's new operation he was putting together. This annoyed Michael, but he agreed to join Keele's operation, if Black Bear would continue to give support and advice. While he was present for a short while, Black Bear left to take care of things elsewhere for a while, leaving Blue Talon abandoned and leading the team on his own. Once Black bear returned Michael gave him a huge argument, finding things out about him in that time that he never knew before.

Blue Talon was the first one rescued by Black Bear when they were kidnapped by Dr Obsidian to be studied and experimented on. However, once Black Bear threatened Obsidian's life, Blue Talon drew the line, and had to keep Black Bear down. The fight ended with Black Bear unconscious, and the team saved by the rest of the TOR members who survived the split.

### Dr. Keele

Dr. Walter Keele was introduced to Michael directly returning to the Bearcave after his and Black Bear's reunion mission. Keele would become another sort of mentor figure to Blue Talon, while also acting very much as a manager/boss. Michael relies heavily on validation in his position on the team which Keele assembled and although being provided that validation somewhat over the course of the few weeks he's been in control, he still feels he needs to be reminded.
