COLE MACGRATH
Originating from the inFamous video game franchise, Cole MacGrath was originally a simple bike messenger that relished in urban exploration who delivered packages to residents within Empire City, desiring to live his own life free from the strict desires of his family.
But it was during a particular delivery one day by an anonymous caller which caused a mysterious package to explode in Cole's hands within the Historic District of Empire City, leading to thousands of unintended deaths and numerous city blocks falling into ruin from destruction.
Now inexplicably possessing the power to generate and control electricity in a variety of ways after waking up from an injury-induced coma, Empire City having fallen into quarantine, Cole frequently found himself having to make difficult moral choices as he gradually came to terms with his new responsibilities as Empire City's resident hero.
Impressing his nurse girlfriend, Trish Dailey, over time with his frequently selfless actions for the city's populace to the jealous chagrin of his long-time friend, Zeke Dunbar, Cole confronted and defeated the many corrupt enemy forces created alongside him as a byproduct of the 'Ray Sphere' device, fighting to take the city back piece by piece and restore law and order.
However, what Cole couldn't have possibly imagined is that all of the events throughout his entire life which had led to him gaining superpowers and becoming a 'conduit', had been planned out entirely from the beginning by the mysterious 'Kessler' (who was in fact an older version of Cole from an alternate timeline, having travelled back in time to prepare him for the oncoming battle against a dangerous god-like being known simply as 'The Beast').
Battling a major existential crisis in-between grieving for Trish's death at the harsh hands of Kessler intended to shed any distracting emotional connections that would prevent Cole from making impossibly challenging decisions, he would eventually have an epiphany and refused to run away anymore from danger as he dealt with a leftover monstrous experiment of Kessler's originally known as David Warner and an off-shoot military agency known as DARPA who desired to have Cole and make him into a weapon for their own ends.
Accepting that there was no way for him to go back to how things were, Cole prepared to head off for the city of New Marais after being contacted by NSA agent Lucy Kuo, in order to gain some new powers which would be required in order to stop the Beast, Zeke tagging along with them after they finally made amends from prior events.
Unexpectedly, the Beast arrived in Empire City far sooner than expected and began to tear it all apart, Cole putting everything he had into the confrontation but it wasn't enough.
All the more determined to stop the Beast by any means necessary and ensure no more innocent lives would be taken by the Beast, Cole, Zeke and Kuo would covertly find a way into New Marais as Zeke handed Cole a powerful melee weapon custom built to channel his abilities more efficiently in melee combat called the Amp, which proved invaluable in the face of a militia army which controlled New Marais under the leadership of Joseph Bertrand.
Obtaining a device known as the RFI from the late Doctor Wolfe which could remove conduit abilities including that of the Beast, Cole and the others set to work on acquiring powerful items known as 'Blast Cores' which could further enhance a Conduit's abilities, doing what they could to take New Marais back from the 'First Sons' militia group and strange mutated creatures that had started appearing throughout New Marais.
Meeting a rogue freedom fighter conduit named Nix who had control over fire and all sorts of flammable substances such as oil or napalm in-between rescuing Kuo from being kidnapped (whose repressed Conduit abilities over flight and ice activated during Bertrand's twisted experiments on her), the group would discover through Zeke (who had gone undercover within Bertrand's ranks), of a power transfer device which could duplicate one conduit's powers and further enhance another with theirs added to their existing arsenal of abilities.
Opting to go with Kuo rather than Nix, Cole would gain access to some of Kuo's ice powers which complimented his electricity abilities as he proceeded to destroy the machine and prevent it from being used ever again by Bertrand and his forces.
Soon discovering to their horror that the source of the mutated monsters was from Bertrand himself, Cole would work with the rebel forces led by Rosco Laroche to expose his dark secret to the general public of New Marais, the Beast simultaneously arriving safely in New Marais and revealing themselves to Cole as John White, an NSA agent that had helped Cole during the events of Empire City and seemingly perished with the explosive destruction of the Ray Sphere.
John explaining that the plague which originated in Empire City and was beginning to spread globally could be vastly reduced in overall impact by awakening more Conduits unknowingly residing within general society through his vast godlike powers granted by the Ray Sphere (due to Conduits being immune to the effects of the plague), Cole found himself left to ponder over what to do when the time eventually came, as he resumed hunting down the fleeing Bertrand with the others, placing a series of traps that ultimately led to the tyrant's end as he died during a climatic battle.
Left with just the Beast to contend with, Cole called in Zeke, Kuo and Nix for a meeting as he explained his uncovered connection to the Beast and John's goal to save society by turning as many people into Conduits at the price of non-powered humans perishing in a matter of months.
Initially reluctant to eradicate the Beast and the plague by association after realizing the RFI would kill all conduits while the rest of humanity would live and be cured, Cole decided to follow through with his original plan and put the continued survival of humanity and Zeke over that of the Conduits much to Kuo's fear-fuelled disgust as she went off to join John White while Nix followed through with Cole's decision to save humanity and destroy the Beast for good.
Charging the RFI up even more via multiple substations to fully charge its range to affect the entire planet (many of Cole's allies perishing in their efforts to buy him more time), Cole would bid goodbye to Zeke one last time as he weakened the Beast enough to unleash the full power of the RFI, making amends with Kuo as she encouraged him to do what needed to be done, Cole soon knowing no more as life faded from his body and many other unaware Conduits with the Beast's destruction as Zeke and all the surviving human residents mourned Cole's noble sacrifice.
This would however not be quite the end of Cole MacGrath's story just yet, finding himself newly awakened and alive on a vastly different universe known as Earth-7150 where a lot more superheroes and Conduit-like superpowered humans known as mutants resided.
Realizing that he must have been brought to this alternate universe for a reason before he could fully pass onto the next life, Cole spied a nearby commotion on the city streets below from the rooftop he found himself standing on, citizens running away in fear of garishly dressed red ninjas and armored soldiers as an impressive collection of costumed superheroes, seemingly normal-looking people and crazy-looking humanoid creatures worked together to fight back against this threat.
Deciding to go and introduce himself in a stylish fashion, Cole picked up his Amp left on the ground with him upon his dimensional arrival on Earth-7150, as he leapt down to lend these mysterious heroes a hand...
