Profile

Magnes is an ex-Delivery Boy slash ex-NYPD officer slash ex-Company Agent (And can barely remember), hated by Japan (for unwittingly aiding in the destruction of the Tokyo Crosswalk during the Shibuya Incident). Currently he's Tracy Strauss' intern, and doing his own vigilante thing on the side. Unlike in the past, he's not just investigating crimes and turning evidence over to the police, now he's full blown punching bad guys in the face and dropping them off to be arrested; anonymously, of course. Above all else, his goal is to protect his friends and the world they live in, and possibly not die in the process.

Magnes's progress outside the Company seems to be going very well. His romantic life, one of his main points of frustration and contention, has blossomed considerably, with his ongoing relationship with Claire seeming very promising indeed. The promise is such that Magnes requested I pass on some of my relevant medical knowledge of female anatomy, the transmission of which I consider something of a public service, honestly.

Magne's new priorities lie in the use of his powers for the greater good of the world. This is a natural extrapolation of his interest in and admiration of comic book superheroes, though of course there are a fair number of real-life analogs, many among the ranks of the so-called terrorists. He has fought, struggled, even killed, and of course this has taken an emotional toll. This information, and much of what follows, was told to me in confidence outside the bounds of my office. Officially, these conversations never happened.

He shot a man in the head, a man who was, admittedly, endangering the delivery of humanitarian aid to the many suffering people on Staten Island. He shot him, in part, because this man had copied Magnes' own abilities, and so any harm he might do Magnes could too easily imagine was his responsibility. He has, thankfully, taken a philosophical attitude towards the event. Employing a comic book analogy, he contextualizes the experience as part of his progression towards a coherent system of ethics. Overall, I consider this healthy. Better, certainly, than obsessing over guilt and culpability.

He has begun, however, to compile information on the covert operations going on in the city. I have seen some print outs; he has heard word of the Company, has the names of some central figures in the various clandestine and semi-clandestine organizations, is investigating the distribution of Refrain, and otherwise flirting with involvement in many of the events and occurrences around New York that the Company may have interest in. I'm uncertain about what it is I should be telling Senior Agent Denton; for now I will await further developments, and hope Magnes stays out of trouble (relatively). - Updated whenever Bella updates her Psychiatric Assessments.

Magnes can manipulate gravity on a personal scale and within a ten foot radius of himself, though both aspects of his ability have a few different limitations.

Overall Ability: He can control what direction is up, down, left, right or any other direction, as well as the vertical horizon (The perception of direction), for himself and anything/anyone he's affecting. When controlling gravity for someone or something, he doesn't necessarily change gravity of the entire person or object, he can choose a select area or multiple areas to alter differently than another. He can control how long something will be affected by his gravity once it's lost contact with him. For every second he has contact, that's another minute his gravity alteration will affect them. This works for up to an hour, then he begins to push his limits of control. He could permanently alter someone's gravity, but that would take around 30 minutes of contact, pushing his ability to its absolute maximum of power, then he loses control of his gravity.

It's not uncommon for him to perform various stunts with his ability, such as feigning super strengh and a very complex form of flight. His flight speed is the same as the maximum speed a person could fall. Due to the complexity of his flight, he doesn't have as much control as someone with powered flight would have. Things like sharp turns and barrel rolls tend to cause problems (Sorry anons), it's more like having a lot of control over being able to sky dive in any direction.

Limitations: The maximum weight of an object he can lift is 0.5 tons (1000 pounds). So, he can more or less push or slide a car, but anything more requires staff approving it. The maximum he can increase the weight of something to is 2 tons (4000 pounds) with extreme effort, and he would completely spend his ability and lose control of his gravity (So he'd be floating around like in a space station and unable to stay firmly planted without holding something). For personal range (IE: Just himself or something he's constantly touching), his maximum working upper range is around 1 ton (2000 pounds). But for things he's touching and releasing, altering a weak object such as a glass cup or something made of fabric to 1 ton requires extra effort to keep stable, or else it threatens to harmlessly break apart on impact. More solid strong objects are much easier, such as things made of metal or stone, but even they can get a bit iffy when they start to reach the 1 ton mark.

Ranged Limitations: The ranged aspect of his ability only works in a ten foot radius starting at his body's center of gravity (So his belly button). He can only target one object at a time, and has to release it before grabbing another. His ranged gravity works like a tether, so unless he just swiches someone's gravity and releases them (Like how he made Danko stick to the wall, or makes objects fall in a certain direction), he'll get pulled right along with the object if someone, say, used TK, or super strength, or even regular strength depending on the object's (Or person's) weight and if they could pull Magnes himself. A target cannot change direction without Magnes releasing them for a few seconds and grabbing them again, so he can essentially only push and pull in one direction at a time. It also takes him a bit more effort to use his ranged ability than when touching something/someone, and he generally has far more control when actually touching.

Stealing Note: This ability requires believing that you can actually do what you're doing. The more confident you are in yourself and your skills, the more effective they generally are, if you're convinced that you can't use the ability, then you won't be able to. However this isn't really an issue for people who take the ability and can intuitively figure it out, they'll have Magnes' level of control without dealing with the complexities of "How do I flew in less than two months?", IE: Sylar, who could likely exceed Magnes' level of control. However, if you can't intuitively figure the ability out, and are extremely emo about everything you do, then you might be a little screwed, IE: Peter.

Extra Notes: I've always played Magnes as being able to sense the weights and shifting weights of things, but I didn't know if this was important enough to actually put somewhere, since I figured it was a given, but, better safe than sorry.

If I could be a superhero
I would be… Awesome Man
I’d fly around the world fighting crime
According to my awesome plan
And if I saw criminals trying to lie
Hurting other people and making them cry
I’d haul them off to jail in my awesome van
‘Cause I would be Awesome Man
— Stephen Lynch, "Superhero"

Appendices

Relationships

	Isabelle - Magnes believes Isabelle to be very good intentioned, though very intimidating. He finds himself getting more out of his shell as he hangs around with her, but she still makes him very uneasy. He believes she may have a thing for him, for whatever reason, but has the vague belief that she may just be making fun of him. Magnes will miss her dearly.

	Gillian - Long time internet friend turned real life friend, Gillian knows things about Magnes that people likely shouldn't know, due to the anonymity of the internet. They went through Argentina, robots, and amnesiac girlfriends plus possessed boyfriends together. Gillian is one of Magnes' closest friends and his longest friend period, he'll go pretty far to protect her and trust as well as enjoys her company more than most people..

	Sable - While she may not know many of his other friends, or much about the more secretive aspects of his life, Sable is a very close friend he's lived with for a while now. She's also his band mate, and he's made a promise to try and help her reach the dream of becoming a star. Much like Claire used to when they were together, Sable often offers him an escape from the harsh parts of his life. She's also his best friend.

	Delilah - Magnes and Delilah have been friends for a while now, though he often still has to keep her in the dark at times, mostly for her own safety. As far as close friends go, they get pretty close, but he's realized she genuinely has no interest in him in the way he used to wish for. Still, he cares about her deeply as a friend, and thinks of her as family for the most part (implications aside). Don't mess with Delilah or get thrown out of a window!

	Quinn - While they're bandmates, Magnes hasn't taken a lot of time to bond with Quinn. He's currently in the process of making an effort, but as of yet they're not as close as they could be. He still considers her a good friend, and trusts her, he just doesn't feel that bond yet.

	Xiulan - Magnes considers Xiulan to be one of his closer friends, usually there to comfort him when he needs it, but he's realized that actually pursuing her as more than that might be unhealthy for him. Still, she's a great person, and not the kind of friend he'd want to lose! A friend, but a bit shaky, given his making enemies with the Triad. He's afraid to face her and has no idea how she'll react.

	Mohinder - Magnes trusts Mohinder because he seems like a pretty nice guy, plus he's a scientist! Mohinder has helped Magnes identify his power and offered to speak with some people who may want his help (The same offer Abby made days earlier!), so he definitely considers Mohinder a friend and all-around cool guy, maybe a hero mentor?!

	Elvis - Elvis is Magnes' new biker chick room-mate, you can bet he's intimidated to the highest degree, but he believes there's a sweet little girl who likes pink things deep down inside. He briefly thought she was Abby's sister, but Abby cleared that up. He does not like the fact that she can casually bash a guy's brains in, but he believes he might be able to cure her… murdering people thing. She appears to be trying to make him a man, and not in the good way. And where the hell is she?

	Eileen - Previously known as Munin, Magnes met Eileen randomly in a church one day, he heard people telling her to stop working with Sylar, but he had no idea what they meant at the time. He knows Eileen is in some sort of "organization" doing "good things". They went through some of Operation Apollo together, and he feels a bit closer to her, knowing that Kazimir had a hand in raising her.

	Isis - He hasn't known Isis long, but they've certainly become fast friends. She's the first truly geeky female he's ever met, and he thinks that's pretty cool! They have awkward moments and play D&D together, and he's also letting her live on his couch now since she has no where else to stay.

	Melissa - Melissa's somewhat taken the place of Bella as far as having someone to confide in goes. He usually has to tread lightly with her, but he does feel rather comfortable and trusts to some extent that she won't judge him.

	Daphne - A mysterious girl he spotted in Guiding Light, apparently with super speed. He finally got his opportunity to meet Daphne when she was doing something on a rooftop. They spoke a bit, then finally ended up combining their abilities for the hell of it, nearly flying across the planet before realizing that this was a bad idea. Daphne's pretty cool, but he'd still like her to not be a criminal and works for him now (sort of), doing little jobs here and there. They have grown a bit of a friendship though, she even got him a Weezer Snuggie!

	Huruma - Magnes has had quite a few phases in his friendship with Huruma, but he didn't truly start considering her a friend until she told him about eating the person who destroyed Claire's memories. Now he feels infinitely grateful to her and feels he has much to learn from her, though he doesn't intend to eat anyone.

	Veronica - Magnes is told they used to know eachother in the Company, but most of what knows of her now is from Argentina and Operation Apollo. He certainly trusts her and considers her a friend, but he doesn't know her nearly as well as he did in the Company when he had all his memories.

	Peter Petrelli - Having officially met Peter Petrelli and learned just how differently the man's changed since 9th Wonders, Magnes was smacked quite hard with the truth. He learned of the Midtown conspiracy between Angela, Nathan, and Linderman. Claire's uncle. After Operation Apollo, Magnes grew to know Peter as Kazimir, but now he knows Peter as Peter, and thinks he's a pretty cool guy, just not as cool as Kazimir. Peter got Magnes his job with Tracy Strauss.

	Peyton - Peyton's someone Magnes first heard of when she was kidnapped by Humanis First. He tried hard to find her, but failed and felt guilty about it. Since then they seem to have become friends, and he learned she's certainly not the girl next door he expected. He unapologetically wants to do her since gaining this information.

	Kendall - A young geek Magnes has taken under his wing. Kendall was kicked out by his parents for being Evolved, and Magnes is trying to make sure he doesn't grow up a delinquent.

	Linus - A slightly older geek who tests video games for a living. Certainly an interesting guy to hang out with and talk to. He feels it's his geeky duty to get Linus to relax just like he's learning to do!

	Hiro - After being released from Minea's trunk, Magnes met who he originally thought was simply a cosplayer, but after much strange talk between Hiro, Minea, and Teo, then lots of questions from Magnes, he was convinced. Hiro was Magnes' mentor for a while, but Magnes hasn't seen him since the Shibuya Incident. He's heard Hiro's still alive, and intends to speak to him eventually.

	Kimiko - Kimiko, Hiro's sister, someone else who's training him in the ways of discipline and concentration, to focus, well, at least when he's not trying to check her out when she's not looking. He admires Kimiko as one of his mentors and may trust her judgment a bit more than Hiro's. Also, she's hot, and Hiro's sister. Age is but a number!

	Raith - Raith is a bit of an enigma, but with Kazimir's death and the absence of his own father, Raith is proving to be a bit of a father figure and teaches Magnes quite a bit about life. He doesn't exactly agree with his "Kill Abby for Money Policy", but he understands that it wasn't a personal thing, and tries his best to look past it.

	Kazimir - While many may disagree with or debate the fact that the Peter was never truly Kazimir, Magnes knows the person he got to know as Kazimir and doesn't accept anything else. He saw Kazimir as a father figure during Argentina and the whole of Operation Apollo, and learned a lot from him. The death of the entity inside of Peter hit Magnes very hard, though so far he's only really able to talk to Eileen about it.

	Yana - Dr. Elvira Illyana Blite. She was briefly his biology tutor early in his teenaged years, and his first real exposure to a young woman. Now he helps with her virology projects while she teaches him about the socialite life. He strives to please her and finds their psuedo-relationship easy to deal with because she tells him everything he could possibly do wrong, and even gave him a rule book. Only time will tell just how unhealthy this turns out to be for him.

	Elaine - Elaine and Magnes' relationship started as something right out of a comic book. He saved her from thugs, took her in from the cold, and their relationship became physical within an hour of meeting. It took him a while to really make anything official, due to his previous hangup on Claire or committing to anyone else again, but eventually he took the plunge. She broke up with him after realizing that she couldn't take his constant mistakes, and while he still loves her, their current standing is still a work in progress.

	Abby - Abby is more or less the Laura to Magnes' Urkel. They've known eachother for a while and he's had a crush on her for nearly as long. They've been through a lot together, and even had the same first kiss, but Magnes knows he doesn't have a chance. He does his best to protect her while giving her space at the same time, and it's clear to him now that he doesn't know her as well as he thought, but he still accepts and very much likes the more human part of her as she cracks the illusion he's built up. While she'll always be one of the most amazing people on the planet to him, he's been able to accept the fact that they're just friends, and always will be.

	Claire - Magnes met Claire purely by chance on Cat's rooftop. He quickly found himself getting comfortable and relating to her. After a few more meetings, things gradually progressed into dating, and he eventually got the bombshell that this was comic Claire. She was basically the best thing he had going for him until she lost her memories and forgot him during Operation Apollo. Now he's had to let her go, and it seems their friendship didn't even survive in the end. He still loves her, he's just not in love with her anymore.

	Tracy - Magnes is Tracy's intern. He gets her coffee, remembers poll statistics, and a number of other things. Of course now he's not allowed to randomly drop into her house like he did when he wasn't employed by her, but he's certainly learning a lot and kind of looks up to her in many ways.

	Colby - Magnes has no idea he was in the Company with Colby, and as far as he knows, she's just the woman he saved from being snowed in an abandoned building. Now they're working on fixing up his Impala together, and she's teaching him all about fixing up cars!

	Cardinal - Grateful that Cardinal helped save him from the fight cages, he still for some reason doesn't trust Cardinal all that much. He tries to help the guy out when he needs it, but has very little faith in him. Something about him just seems… shady (See what I did there?). He still lacks quite a bit of trust in Cardinal, with all that sneaking around he does, not to mention he harbors a bit of bitterness over Xiulan. He's pretty sure Cardinal is dead now, and feels a bit bad that he never got to prove himself to the man.

	Cat - Geek-Face girl, he definitely has no idea what to think of her. She seems cool, she's hot in that really awesome geeky way, but he doesn't know a thing about her except that she plays music. He told her the "truth" about Peter, and a few other things he felt like spilling. She recently told him the whole nine yards about who she is, and that she's associated with Phoenix. He trusts her mostly because she's associated with Helena, who's associated with Claire, and she seems to know a lot. He intends to keep her updated on what he sees and gets tied up in. He was in Operation Apollo with her, but didn't learn much else about her there. Also, can't resist impressing that Geek-Face…

	Aude - Magnes' former NYPD partner, she was a pretty nice woman, despite being a hardass at times, and she seemed to be trying to teach him a lot, but at some point they were split apart. He's sure they'll continue to cross paths!

	Raquelle - A very flamboyant man who cuts good hair! He doesn't know the man well, but he appears to be that metrosexual thing people keep talking about, and cuts very good hair!

	Deckard - Magnes and Deckard have a fairly complicated history, one that involved Deckard shooting at Magnes a few times, and Magnes threatening to put Deckard away and on another occasion, rehabilitate him. For a while they got into a business relationship where Deckard got Magnes any equipment he needed. Now they've got a somewhat unspoken understanding and aren't trying to kill eachother, he just wishes Deckard wouldn't loiter outside of Abby's place.

	Odessa - Magnes doesn't know a lot about her, other than that she's apparently a junkie who really needs help. He's not sure how to help her, but he'll figure something out eventually.

	Ina - Magnes knows nothing about her, met her one day while he was out jogging and she got into a bit of a thing with a guy in a car. She's very tough in a Lois Lane kind of way.

	Francois - Magnes knows Francois and Teo have some sort of thing, and Abby seems to know him somehow. He's a good person to have on your team, but Magnes knows virtually nothing about him.

	Felix - Ass.

	Ygraine - Magnes knows little to nothing about Ygraine, but he does know that they may have similar powers. One day he'd like to meet her again, but he wouldn't even know where to start.

	Rebecca - Magnes looked Rebecca up on the internet in his search for someone who could help him on his hunt for proof that Hiro exists. He determined that she looked nice and not all that intimidating, and she works for the police, so he tracked her down. After a tense initial encounter, she decided to offer her help, despite his crazy-sounding claims. He determined that for once, he was actually a good judge of character.

	Chloe - There's not much Magnes can say about Chloe, she seems a tad… different.

	Chu-hua - Magnes thinks Chu-hua is a pretty cool person, despite their slightly differing political views. He also can't get over the fact that she thinks he should work for NASA, which he honestly doesn't believe, but would certainly consider if she gave him a starting point.

	Teo - Knowing absolutely nothing about Teo beyond the fact that he seems to have something to do with Hiro and Abby, Magnes has no real opinion of the guy. Though he would like to find him again and ask a bit more about what his connection to Hiro is. He's aware that Teo and Delilah appear to be friends, though has no idea that he and Teo are fated to be Mortal Enemies.

	Simon - The first person Magnes met before the beginning of his life's craziness. The last person Magnes can remember delivering a pizza to without worrying about a whole host of other things. Was Simon an ill-omen? Was he the catalyst to Magnes' superheroism? One may never know… but Magnes certainly delivered a pizza to him!

	Tallie - Magnes met Tallie at the same time he met Xiulan; he believes she's incredibly nice, likely because she's a delivery person (Even though she was complimenting him ironically). He doesn't know much about her, but he's always happy to meet a kindred spirit in delivery!

	Tamsine - After crashing into an alley from a roof, Tamsine came to Magnes' rescue, or at least that was her intention. Instead, Magnes and Victor confirmed that she's related to one of the 36. He doesn't know exactly what she's feeling, but he feels he can possibly relate to those teens, and perhaps help her gain closure, or at least make her feel a little better.

	Doyle - Just what the hell is wrong with this guy, anyway? First he's being all callous about not calling the cops when someone got hit by a car, and now he's pretending they never met before!

	Joseph - Joseph is someone who gives Magnes peace of mind. He still hasn't quite wrapped his head around religion, but the one thing he does know is that Joseph makes everything make sense, like life really does have some sort of purpose. The fact that he runs an Evolved church just makes Magnes that much more comfortable around the man.

	Bebe - A nice, sweet, innocent girl. You just don't get more innocent than old fashioned girls like her, well, unless you're Abby, but still! One has to wonder why she lives in Staten, and why Abby's so angry with her, but who knows! A nice girl, not an impure bone in her body.

	Brian - Magnes has never been sure what Brian's deal is. First he's some religious guy, then he's the guy Abby is kissing at her birthday party for some reason, and now he's some runaway Company agent he had to catch. He told Magnes a few interesting things about synthetic abilities and child killing, but he really has no idea what to make of Brian.

Victor -Magnes considers Victor a friend in spirit, they have mutual interests and a drive to really get out there and do something. Though he believes Victor's drive is more personal, he still admires the fact that he wants to make a difference. He also believes Victor to be a bit brash, despite Magnes being so himself, but he doesn't hold it against him because he can definitely relate. He did hold some bitterness over him dating Abby, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Now Abby's dating some guy named Flint! Whoever that is.

Nathan Petrelli - Magnes absolutely does not like Nathan Petrelli, he considers him to be the person who caused so much hate against the evolved. He was informed by Peter Petrelli just how deep the government conspiracy went involving Linderman, Angela Petrelli, and Nathan Petrelli went. Definitely not on his favorites list. He's dating Nathan's daughter, Claire, but still thinks Nathan is a bastard, especially upon learning of Nathan's apparent treatment of her.

	Linderman - Magnes knows very little about Linderman except that according to Hiro, he's tied up into almost everything criminal related. And according to Peter, he's one of the three reasons Midtown was blown up. He's definitely a person of interest, and it doesn't take a character witness to hate the man.

	Angela - Magnes knows virtually nothing about Angela except that she's Nathan and Peter's mother, and Claire's grandmother. The most important thing he knows is what Peter told him, which is that she aided in the destruction of Midtown. More than enough to hate someone.

	Muldoon - One of the kidnappers of him and Abby, kept touching all over her face and acting like he's some big important guy. He's getting put on an island as soon as possible.

Logan - Another person who aided in the kidnapping of him and Abby, he intends to do something special to him, for all the things he did to Abby. He thinks about revenge against Logan a lot, and the things Abby says she wants done to the man are burned into Magnes' skull. Bang.. They have a bit of a business relationship now, but he still intends to kill the man one day, if he doesn't do something very good.

	Jake - Jake is the man Magnes had an epic battle in Tokyo with, and Magnes doesn't take kindly to kidnappers who get him labeled as a terrorist. One day he'll track the man down to bag and tag the hell out of him, then throw him right down in level 5!

	Adam - Level 5 isn't good enough for Adam, but something must be done. The man has killed god knows how many people in his immortal lifetime, and Magnes has to do something about it. Perhaps one day he'll create a tomb for the man, because he's not trusting the government to keep a person like this locked up.

Skills:

Skating is likely where Magnes is most talented. He's practiced for years, but didn't get very good until his powers manifested and he began to use them together. His skill is likely pro level, but only because of his powers; without his powers his skill level is mostly confined to grinding, he was never too good at jumping high and doing tricks without them.

Magnes' War Journal

Helena ordered me to stay out of the way or they'll hurt people, and I'm mostly listening, she does know what she's talking about, I hope. But I can't just roll over and leave it alone, I'm gonna try and speak to some other people about the situation. I also recently spotted Danko and some other person taking a briefcase from a car, so I dropped a dumpster on their boat and attempted to make Danko wary of his own allies.

They're slipping up, mercenaries are after them, Emile Danko is taken out, it's only a matter of time before the rest of the high ranking members are too.

Murphy's Timeline Journal

We're in this timeline where lots of stuff went wrong. I don't really understand it all, but -a flood happened-, the Vanguard spread an evil virus, and a bunch of other stuff.

Mala and Denisa are alive here. These people… so many people lack hope, this world is dead, there are barely enough people here to restart the population of Earth. I can't leave them behind.

I've been considering how to save the people here. I thought about fighting the Vanguard, stopping Kazimir, but it really doesn't change anything. These people need to be saved.

I learned that I can control black holes. Probably not under normal circumstances. My nose was bleeding, that's what Ruiz said, and his nose was bleeding too. Controlling a black hole is going to be tricky.

My current plan, once I find a way to do it, is this:

Step 1. Figure out how controlling Ruiz's black hole even works, and if I can, I don't know, sense other black holes inside of it.

Step 2. Send a carefully worded message through to the other black hole until we can make contact.

Step 3. Find a way to open a black hole large enough to take everyone through it, I mean all of them. These people need to be saved, they can have real lives in our world.

I know this all seems tricky, but I've been thinking about science, and my ability.

Elisabeth came through the hole without dying, I think it's because I'm capable of protecting people in a black hole without them dying. So, I need a few things, in no particular order..

1. I need a way to either augment my ability, or learn to expand my ability so that I can increase my mass enough to grab everyone into it.

2. I need Ruiz, and a way to open a black hole in my world. Maybe it means coincidentally having another Ruiz open a black hole there? I don't know.

3. I need practice, I need a lot of practice now that I have a better idea of what my ability is.

I think that it's possible to increase my mass without becoming a black hole. I think that a black hole is more like… the violent worst case scenario. I've been augmented before and I didn't become a black hole, because I didn't lose control.

If I could increase my mass, while Ruiz increases the size of his black hole, then I can plausibly take everyone through it without them getting hurt. I just… I have to learn the nature of black holes, I have to really, truly learn what they are. I'm going to have to take risks, and I have to take these risks myself first, no one else can put themselves at risk for this wild plan. I have to actually do this scientifically…

Magnes' Wonderful Life

These are bullet points to what are actually longer stories he's been writing.

Magnes meets a nice Southern girl named Abigail Beauchamp. She's old fashioned, but after a few weeks they hit it off and start dating.
There's a new teacher in school, Teo, and he rides a motorcycle. He becomes Magnes' rival, and their animosity eventually leads to a teacher vs. student boxing match. It ends in a draw when Abby forces him to stop.
Raith the dean rides through the halls in an office chair and accidentally destroys Magnes' report.
Delilah joins the school through a genius program. She's young but looks older, so people tread with caution.
Abby falls in love with Victor and lets Magnes off as easily as possible.

White Knight Costume:

The White Knight costume is designed so that details of his identity can't be discovered, since suspension of disbelief doesn't exist in real life. There are no places that show skin in the costume. He wears army boots and keeps his cargo pants pinned inside of them so that they won't fly up, his shirt stays tucked into tightly belted pants, and his gloves and mask zipped to his shirt to avoid them being pulled off. His mask has no holes in it, but he can see out of his side of the mask. The knot of his American flag scarf is tied in a way that will make it come loose if someone pulls it, to avoid getting his head ripped off. His shirt has a tiny hidden camera that can be activated from one of his pouches.

Memorable Quotes:

"You're worth it, Claire, a job is a job, but there's only one of you." - Magnes assuring Claire that he could care less if she makes him lose his NYPD job.
(I need more of these! Add them.)

Trivia and Notes:

Magnes has this as a somewhat small tattoo around his belly button, spanning out a bit into his abdomin: http://images.elfwood.com/art/j/i/jimmyj/chinese_dragon.jpg It's Xiulan's work, for anyone who would know.
Magnes is ironically poor at physics.
Very awkward around the opposite sex unless he's comfortable with a particular individual, and even then he's still pretty awkward.
Usually doesn't enter establishments that don't allow skates, unless he has a good reason to or can sneak them in.
Hates Nathan Petrelli (Or maybe Linderman).
Hiro, Peter and Niki are his favorite 9th Wonders characters, though he'd generally assume any similarities between real life people are pure coincidence. He's not a huge fan of the comic in general compared to Marvel and such, but does generally like it. He's confused by the Claire character dating Claire, and is currently behind in the issues. (If you want him to recognize you from the comic, just say so!)
Has been shot once twice, by Wu Long, then Danko.
Had his blood pulled out and his entire body crushed in the Pancratium. Thanks Konga and Nina!
Had his arm bitten off by Cook. He's better now.
Has been bagged and tagged, with a visible tracker mark on his neck and all.
Due to Deckard's description, believes Magnes knows Sylar looks something like this: http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/14236/322895-might_guy_large.jpg
Has been back in time to Japan where Ando and Hiro talk in the restaurant, to the outside of the diner where Hiro's girlfriend was currently being killed by Sylar, and to the scene of the bomb at Kirby Plaza where he saw Ando get killed.
Rode on top of an airplane to Japan.
Probably perma-banned from Japan.
Never had a pet.
