Haru Yoshida was a 2nd-generation cybrid who was deliberately altered as an embryo by his own father Eito Yoshida using both wasp and Africanised bee DNA, his powers manifested by the time he was 12, over a period of a week. He and his best friend Hideki Tengan later founded Supersamurai.

#### **History**

Born in Chichibu in 1994, Haru was the product of a second-generation of cybrid created by various individuals thanks to the leaking of PGI Research's original technology, in this instance it allowed his father Eito to experiment on his wife's embryo and his own sperm to create Haru with cybridised potential.

#### **Powers and Abilities**

**Powers:**

Haru was a 2nd-generation Cybrid, unlike the accidently-created 1st-gen of PGI Research, Haru's cybridism was the result of purposeful alteration of his embryo before insemination into his mother by Midori Bioscience in an experiment carried out by his own father.

**Part-Insectoid Cybrid Physiology:** Haru developed a number of insect-like abilities and characteristics.

* ***Winged Flight:*** He grew a pair of bee-like wings that let him fly at speeds of around 170 mph. These wings were flexible and tough enough to hide under his clothes. They would also eventually grow back if ever removed.
* ***Adhesion:*** He could stick to and walk on surfaces of various angles, even upside down thanks to microscopic hooks on his palms and feet.

* ***Enhanced Senses:*** Particularly his sense of vision, that enabled him to see into the ultraviolet spectrum, and his sense of smell.

* ***Enhanced Reactions and Agility:*** He was able to doge and react extremely quickly.
* ***Enhanced Strength:*** He has the ability to lift around 2.5 tonnes with relative ease.
* ***Retractable Stingers:*** He had a pair of black stingers that extended from slits under his wrists, these were very tough and resilient and contained a mild toxin that would cause numbness and a red rash as well as being extremely painful, but with the correct strike they could pierce major arteries or organs, and in that instance the toxin could cause paralysis of said organs resulting in death. These would also grow back if removed but very slowly.
* ***Peak Fitness*:** His basic levels of fitness will retain at his peak no matter how little exercise he does; it also grants him peak physical abilities at all times and has preformed physical activities for long periods without breaking a sweat.
* ***Accelerated Healing:*** He could heal his wounds, bruises, cuts and internal injuries much faster than a normal Human, this included the regeneration of his cybrid mutations such as his wings and stingers, although it was uncertain if this also extended to other limbs.

**Abilities:**

* **Martial Arts:** He had a degree of of hand-to-hand and kickboxing abilities that he has learned in his early days of school.
* **Photography:** He was learning various photography techniques in school.
* **Aspiring Journalist:** He wished to study journalism and documenting after becoming an expert at documenting his fights with Kabuto and Midori Bioscience.
* **Musician:** He could play the guitar.

### **Equipment**

* **Strike Gloves:** Impact-absorbing gloves made from non-Newtonian materials enabled him to punch tougher enemies such as Kabuto without breaking his bones.
* **Impact Clothing:** Developed by Hideki to be more resistant to impacts, tearing, acid and fire and damage.
* **Thermo-electric Visor:** An experimental device created by Hideki that worked with his enhanced vision, allowing him see in total darkness and detect heat and electrical signatures.
* **Nanofabric Souled Shoes:** Super-thin bottoms to his shoes allowed his feet to stick to surfaces through them.

#### **Limitations and weaknesses**

Haru was often too selfless and would sometimes run into battle alone, against impossible odds. He felt he had to protect others and hated help.
