Now Glade is one of the founding members of a small, west-coast based anti-government group known as The Guardians.

Background

Psych Profile

Evolved Ability

Gladen can replicate up to four cubic feet of non-organic matter in a 24-hour period. Small objects (that could fit in one hand) can be replicated in roughly one second. Larger objects take equally increasing amounts of time. The closer Gladen reaches to his limit of cubic matter replicated in a 24 hour period, the more fatigued and exhausted he becomes. On reaching his limit, Gladen works himself into unconsciousness. He cannot replicate an already 'copied' item, due to the nature of its atomic structure, so he needs to keep "originals" handy.

Objects Gladen reproduces do not last forever either, and begin to break down and fall apart after between 24-36 hours, faster for larger and more complex objects made out of multiple parts. Smaller, simpler objects tend to last the longest. Copied items viewed under an electron microscope bear molecular differences from the "original" item, though all copies are molecularly identical. It makes identifying Gladen's copies a scientific but possible matter.
