Austin's nickname, Riptide, was given to him for his striking punches. Though the word, "riptide", is related to water, Austin refers the "rip~" in ripping punches.

Austin's character development was a massive spike between Season 1 and Season 2. Initially as a soft, average minded kid with a sweet personality to a strong, ingenious man with firm personality. Even with a massive character development, he remains loyal and full heartedly devotes himself to TJC. He is one of the only characters who was not once affiliated with any other affiliation. However, in this time period, Austin is considered nerdy due to giving long lectures about STEAM subjects.

After Season 2, Austin still obtains his incredible intellect but doesn't show it as much as before. He becomes more athletic and more ambitious in pursuing after enemies.

Currently, due to government shutting down TJC in Season 14, Austin lives a life without heroic acts.
