History

Born and raised in Boston, MA, the only event of note in Tyler's life before his mutation was that he entered schooling a year early but was kept back in third grade. He insists this is because he found the work 'boring' and didn't participate.

At the start of his senior year, Tyler, like the rest of his classmates, was genetically altered by biology teacher Dr. Tischmak. He doesn't remember much about the event because immediately after his mutation, Tyler collapsed and eventually passed out from pain. His eyes had altered to be extremely sensitive to light, giving him near perfect night-vision but rendering Tyler incapable of being in normal daylight without sunglasses. His hearing and strength also increased, but only slightly. After coming to terms with his mutation, Tyler took up the superhero moniker Dusk and began operating in Boston at night, stealthily stalking and taking out criminals. Recently Tyler has been spending more time in Millennium City for reasons only known to him.

Personality

Tyler is, simply put, an asshole. He enjoys berating and demeaning his classmates in the 54, particularly Sun'Woo, Violet Evermore and Robert McCall. Violet Evermore presents an intriguing target for Tyler's verbal abuse, because she seems to be the only one of his classmates able to keep up with him in that regard.

Tyler has an uneasy friendship with classmate Jason Strong. Jason doesn't appear as fazed by Tyler's personality as the others and Tyler can often be found taking Jason's side in arguments and backing him up in a fight.

Tyler has shown a softer side, although he prefers to hide it from his classmates, reveling in being 'the asshole'. He apologized on behalf of his team-mates to superhero Wolfhound for their brash behavior and constant bickering, explaining 'we're just kids trying to do the right thing.' In true Tyler fashion, however, he quickly amended this with "Except Robert. He's just an asshole."

Powers

Tyler's mutation gives him near perfect night-vision, enhanced hearing and enhanced strength. The exact extent to which Tyler's night-vision has increased is unknown, but approximates can be garnered from his comment on his sight: "Night is now like day. And day is like a bright-ass, burning, painful motherf***er of a day."

Tyler has an incredible weakness to light, being unable to go out in daylight without high-strength shades. This renders him especially vulnerable to Sun'Woo's powers, which, among other things, enable Sun to create bright flashes of light. For this reason, Tyler chooses to operate at night.
