About
The Infamous Cicada was once an average person working late one night until an accident involving radioactive/hybrid cicadas left him with abnormal bug powers. Due to many of his disadvantages in battle he relays on gadgets, magic, and intelligence to fight his battles, greatly using misdirection and distraction to attack his enemies.
Bio
When Andy graduated from High School he begin working at a local collage, working as a janitor for the science department for about two years. One night while hiding in a storage room taking a break, some bank robbers took refuge in the science department. When a firefight erupted between the robbers and the police, a stray bullet smashed a container behind Andy, while he was still reading his comics. Andy found himself attacked by thousands of mutated cicadas hidden in the container, he was found the next morning in a shock induced coma and transported to the hospital.
After months of recovery, Andy, who should have died due to the high toxins from the mutated cicada bites, was let go from the hospital. Just days after the incident Andy began showing abnormal signs; uncontrolled humming tics, absorbing energy from household objects, abnormal rapid recovery from near death experiences, and suffering abnormal bug like habits. Andy suspected he gained cicada like abilities and decide to use them. Filling out a help wanted ad, Andy Rich found him self a job as a henchman.
Andy Rich, now one of many henchmen for a small time villain "the Bloated Fly"; a fat man in a fly outfit, begin robbing banks and stores dressed up in a brightly colored bugs costume. After two months of this Andy started to fell like he didn't belong here, until finally after months of planning "The Bloated Fly" and his henchmen decided to rob a local charity event on the tallest building in the city. During the raid "The Bloated Fly" and his new "Hench-moths" used gliders to scale the building, Andy becomes separated and ended up taking an elevator up. After a mishap, Andy ends up taking the elevator up with a young police officer named Sharon Bogwater.
On the way up Andy passes himself off as a hero, impressing the Officer. As the doors open, Andy and Bowater encounter "The Bloated Fly" and his henchmen leaving. "The Bloated Fly", believing he is a traitor, shoots Andy in the chest; leaving him in the elevator and begun rounding up the hostages to the center of the room. Bogwater, unable to fight back surrenders as well.
As the villain "The Bloated Fly" begins to gloat and boast his success, Andy tackles him to the ground. After a small fight between the two Police arrive, "The Bloated Fly" is defeated and many of his henchmen, along with Andy, flee the scene as police storm the event. Several henchmen, including "The Bloated Fly's" right hand man: "Main Ant", are captured and arrested having grown tired of the situation.
After a few months of redesigning his old henchman costume and his glider, now only known as Cicada, unofficially starts his hero career: stopping a few small time crooks and helping the newly appointed Detective Bowater with some of her cases. After awhile Cicada moves to Millennium city to try and master his abilities...
Personality
Andy Rich had a normal childhood for a shy teenager, usually hiding in his "shell" away from social activities and his classmates. After the accident and his transformation to Cicada, Andy slowly became a different person, mostly due to his line of work involving cults, and seeing the cruel side of people; slowly becoming more self-centered, and a lot more distrustful of others.
In battle he tries to take out the stronger enemies or attract his opponents attention: believing it will somehow help his allies.
Cicada's Fighting Style
Cicada tends to use distracting tactics, such as luring or drawing the enemies' attention from his allies. His best abilities are his ranged attacks; which distract and open an enemy up for attacks, and his siphon abilities which allows him to either heal himself or some of his allies in the heat of battle. Cicada's reflex suit also provides defensive abilities ranging from hardening like armor. His Glider is also his greatest asset, capable of propelling him across great distances and setting him up for aerial attacks.
