History
Ian is an affable blond haired man who now works primarily in construction. He specialises in alloys and “super materials” and is regarded as one of the world’s experts on Impervium. He was directly involved in the construction of the AEGIS Spire in Arcardia’s bay.

Hailing from Portsmouth, Maine, USA Ian came from a non-descript middle class background where his mother also had a love for construction. His father was an artist. Ian has single sibling: a younger sister, Ginny, who also has superhuman powers but of a psychic nature. He is fond of living the life of a surfer as depicted in old movies: complete with long board and old VW Kombi. As a teen he practically lived out of the Kombi at the nearby Long Sands Beach.

Ian spent five years at Claremont and most of those as part of Next Gen. Ian had an early eagerness to become a hero but this dissipated over the years as the reality of hard choices and tragic consequences became clear to him. He has not employed the "Spook" code name for a number of years.

Power Set
Ian is a superhuman whose powers emerged in his early teens. He is able to disperse density while preserving cohesion resulting in an intangible state. He is not able to increase density but is able to merge diffused contract but can merge two or more objects before restoring their density. This creates incredibly resilient materials or can inflict horrific trauma. Ian’s abilities are limited to touch but prodigious. One of his most recent talents is to disperse density and not preserve cohesion – effectively disintegrating an item. Fortunately for all this is a difficult feat with limited size and something that Ian is not predisposed to using his powers this way.

Associates
Ian has maintained contact with his Next Gen contemporaries. The enigmatic Emi Matsuoka, thought lost to most of the world has reached out to Ian on occasion although, like almost everyone else he has no way to contact her.

Ian is in a long term relationship with Ms Sage Kahale. They reside in California with their twin children: Summer and Brody.

Notebook of Duncan Summers: Intake Day

By
Notebook of Duncan Summers: Intake Day Originally Published by Jason Cochrane on Mar 25, 2016 at 05:03 AM There was a timid knock at the door. Duncan Summers, Headmaster of the Claremont Academy spun from his perch by the window and fixed the intruder with a steely glare. The source of the knock, a young man dressed in the Academy Uniform of blue and gold fled in terror. "Mmmmmm...." growled the Headmaster who returned to his position of gazing out the window into the distance. "Headmaster," a vaguely feminine, vaguely robotic voice intoned, "must you terrorise the students?" There was a faint staccato as metal heels walked across the floor towards the Headmaster. The presence was acknowledged with another growl. "Navimatrix. What do you want?" "My," intoned the humanoid robot. "Aren't you in a foul mood today. I came to check on you." "No need. I'm fine." Duncan had not even turned away from th...

Prelude to Torpedoes Away

By
The Wiked Witch Cafe based out of the Ordway Observatory next to verdant Weirdly Park was always a mecca for the unexpected but now it was barely contained chaos. The sun was starting to set on a picturesque Thursday afternoon. The Cafe, normally winding down on Thursdays at this time, was completely packed. Every table and chair was out - even those with slight damage that were mouldering the store room. The inside of the Cafe was filled with a crowd that spilled not only onto the alfresco dining area but the carpark and Weirdly Park itself. There was no denying that the Cafe was profiting enormously by it's current state but somehow at the back of mind, Tommy Tonka , owner of the establishment, couldn't shake the thought that perhaps it wasn't wise to let Headmaster Hooper and the arts students of Claremont Academy convince him to open a special "open mic" afternoon and evening. It certainly wasn't that Tommy would make a loss out of the event. It wa...

The Claremont Academy: Recent Developments

By
The Claremont Academy The first school to publicly announce it was a super school. Claremont was acquired, renovated, opened and run by billionaire philanthropist Duncan Summers. Claremont is built on the famous but abandoned Claremont Monastery which had a dark history, particularly the legend of the Burning Ghost. The school is located on sprawling grounds and houses the no longer secret subterranean base of the various “Next” Teams that operate out of the school. The Claremont Academy is home for a range of superteams. The most prominent is “Next Gen”, closely followed by the “Alterniteens”. Additionally Claremont students have formed a range of “Next” teams including Nexion, Nexus, Next Step and more. These other teams have highly variable membership and longevity. Professor Summers has always tolerated this as he highly values supers making their own choices and being responsible for their own actions. This cavalier attitude has met with resistance from AEGIS who believes a re...
