Equinox

Appearance
Scott is five foot eight inches and a very fit and trim athletic looking 165 lbs. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, and golden complexion. Scott doesn't spend a lot of time on his appearance, but he is clean and well groomed where it counts.
Given the choice, Scott prefers to dress in simple jeans and either t-shirts or polo shirts, but Millennium City is often too cool for him and he layers up with a sweater and / or a jacket. Most often though, Scott does not have a choice and is instead found in the St. Thomas school uniform of khaki pants and blue blazer.
Early in his heroing career Scott donned black sweatpants and a black t-shirt with a star emblem on it as his crime fighting costume. Selena quickly designed a more proper costume (and one that she was not horrified by) and, working with Sol Saivo, was able to provide Scott with his current black, white, and golden Equinox costume.

The SilverJet
As leader of the SilverGuard, Strobe has access to the team's supersonic transport jet. Jason Ingram, the team's professional pilot lives at the SilverTower and is a moment's notice away should the jet be needed.
The jet seats 14 and has cargo room and a holding cell aboard.

Silver Guard space suit
Strobe abilities are severely limited in the vacuum of space. With the aid of his Silver Guard space suit, he is able to function if only at a reduced capacity. The suit is hardened for combat and has an ingenious mechanism for converting expended CO2 back into oxygen. The estimated supply of air works out to about three years. It does not have a food supply however.

Friends
There are simply too many friends and allies made throughout his years as a hero to list them all here. Below are a highlighted few.
Blaze
"A Firecracker in every sense of the word."
Blaze is one of Strobe's five teammates in the Champions of the Shon-Khar. She's like family to him. She has been teammate, housemate, and romantic insterest. Today she's simply one of his closest friends. Strobe's time in the Silver Guard has led him to assume a leadership role in the Shon-Khar as well. Blaze is the teamate quickest to remind him that she is not his subordinate.
She's also reminds him how to have fun. He sometimes envies the fiery speedster as she's still able to seize the day and fully embrace the enjoyment of the moment. More than one night has Kelly O'Duff dragged a protesting Jeremy out on the town, only to prove it's just what he needed. He values her more than she knows.
.
Forge
"An inspiration on how to not sweat the small stuff."
Forge, a teammate in the Champions of the Shon-Khar, is Strobe's buddy. There's not a guy that's easier to hang with, nor as relaxing when Jeremy needs to unwind from a stressful day. Forge is steady, calm, and perhaps even a bit lazy. When the a job truly needs to be done though, he's there, dependable, and strong.
Forge isn't much good for advice or answers to questions, but he's invaluable as a companion to kick back with and forget about life for awhile. So long as you don't mind the football and beer.
Strobe's combat armor was a gift from Forge.
