Solaris

Kyle Owens owns a small clothing and fabric shop in New York. He's friendly and helpful but there's not much else about him that's exciting. There are some rumors he may be a mutant though.

Background
Kyle's life was a normal one growing up. The elder of two brothers, he had a decent life. His father ran a laundromat and his mother was military but thankfully they weren't the types that had to move a lot. He had friends, he played football with his friends, and fought with his brother like brothers do. It was around age thirteen that things started getting wierd.

Shortly after getting the news that his mother had died in an accident on the shooting range, Kyle begane developing mutant abilities. He could control the light itself. And while he mourned, Kyle shut himself away to practice keeping these abilities trained and under his control.

High school went without much incident other than the fact that Kyle avoided making friends. He was afraid of what would happen if his abilities were ever found out. Instead, he spent his free time learning how to be a tailor when he wasn't studying or working with his powers. He had a small dream of one day opening a tailor's shop when he was nearing retirement. He knew it wasn't very likely but he thought about it anyway.

Eventually, Kyle wound up going to college to be a teacher. He got his certification and even scored a job in the city. Happy times didn't last long though. As a school year drew to an end, Kyle found out he wasn't getting renewed due to budget reasons. Then he got a very bad call from his brother. Their father had a heart attack and died. Depressed, Kyle almost lost control of his mutant powers but managed to keep himself together. He went to the funeral and was rather surprised by the amount of money his father left he and his brother.

Even split in half, it was a lot. Using his half, Kyle decided to open the shop he'd wanted to. Sure, he loved teaching but it was hard to find a job in that. So, once he found a suitable location in New York...Kyle opened his shop. Things went pretty well at first, a steady customer flow and everything. Then one night, Kyle witnessed someone gunned down out on the street in front of his store. He'd been startled by the gunshot and made himself invisible so he wasn't seen but it stirred something in Kyle. He wasn't about to let the killer get away. Creating a mask and dubbing himself Solaris, Kyle went after the man the next night. With his mutant powers, he easily confounded and knocked the man out...leaving him tied up for the police. Since then, Kyle's been tailor by day...and occasional crime fighter by night. He isn't running around fighting HYDRA but he stops crime he sees.
