Fictional Character Biography
The man who would become the Incandescent Man was a product of an experiment by Project: PEGASUS that will draw electrical energy into one's body. At first, the man was fine until the electricity going through his body was driving him mad. He escaped by shutting down the power to Project PEGASUS. The man disappeared into one of the upstate rivers which shorted him out. Its blackened body was discovered and fished out by a ferry crewman and started to generate electrical energy which killed the crewman. It then rose up and drained the energy out of the dock. A man who witnessed this dubbed him the Incandescent Man and it made its way to Chelsea in lower Manhattan where it drained all of its electrical energy and proceeded toward town square. People soon started to run by Sam Guthrie (AKA Cannonball) who asked one of the people what is happening. Upon learning that the Incandescent Man is approaching Time Square, Cannonball took off towards the Incandescent Man. Cannonball saved two policemen by flying into the electrical bolts. One of the deflected electrical bolts hit a fire hydrant, causing the Incandescent Man to shrink in size upon being hit by water. Spider-Man was secretly taking photos at the time. He then stepped in and webbed up Incandescent Man's face buying Spider-Man enough time to pull Cannonball away while it was still being hit with water. Spider-Man and Cannonball wondered how they can stop it. A helicopter arrived at the scene and dropped a net onto the Incandescent Man. It soon melted through the nets and Cannonball knocked the Incandescent Man's body into the Hudson River where it shorted out. Once Spider-Man and the helicopter got to the ground, its pilot explained about how Incandescent Man came to be. She also remarked that Cannonball will never find Incandescent Man's body since she has been tracking Incandescent Man for months. The pilot revealed herself to be the Incandescent Man's twin sister and will continue to track Incandescent Man in hopes that she will use its powers to take revenge on Project: PEGASUS for what they did to him.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“Gross and obscure natures, however decorated, seem impure shambles; but character gives splendor to youth, and awe to wrinkled skin and gray hairs.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The best part of a writer’s biography is not the record of his adventures but the story of his style.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
