He was approached by Night Thrasher to join a teen superhero team called the New Warriors. With the New Warriors they fought the White Queen and her Hellions to Terrax. Vance started a relationship with a another member named Firestar. His powers also increased in strength and he was more precise.
Angelica found out her microwave-based powers were making her sterile, it was a blow to the both of them, as they had both been tentatively considering future marriage. In fact, Angelica proposed to Vance and he accepted.
Vance's father started abusing him again and started abusing his mother. One night Arnold (Vance father) was attacking Vance while he was hurt from a fight with the White Queen and her Hellions. Vance with his power accidentally killed his father. He turned himself in and went to trial. He was found innocent of murder, but was convicted of aggravated assault. Vance served his time in the Vault. Firestar, Namorita, and Nova showed up to free him, Vance protested, declaring he wished to serve his time. Later Vance was let out and took the name Justice
When the Sphinx came he put the former New Warriors throughout time. Vance went to the past and saw his father, and saw that his father was homosexual and was abused by his father to have a heterosexual life. Vance then became leader of the team.
A magical incident happened when everyone who was an Avenger was attacked by monsters and creatures, Vance and Firestar accompanied Rage, who was an Avenger, to a meeting to the Avengers mansion. Then Morgan LeFay attacked altering reality. Vance and Firestar were turned into Morgan's super-powered enforcers. He broke free thinking about the team. After defeating LeFay they became reserve Avengers which lead to full time membership.
Continually trying to prove himself, Justice eventually won over his insecurities during the Avengers' battle with the robot Ultron. He had researched the Avengers files, discovering a new means of defeating Ultron and using it to help the Avengers destroy him. After seeing the emotional turmoil Hank Pym and the Wasp went through in the battle, Vance finally began to regard the Avengers as people rather than icons and became more relaxed about working with the team.
Soon afterward, Vance announced his engagement with Firestar, and the two left active duty, presumably to explore their relationship. In reality, they were asked to secretly infiltrate the headquarters of the Triune Understanding, whose leader, Jonathan Tremont, was surreptitiously attacking the Avengers' public image for his own benefit. Vance and Firestar discovered the true cause of the Understanding— using the beliefs of its members to sympathetically power a spaceship to battle a cosmic menace. They helped a contingent of Avengers join the battle against the menace, and directly afterwards helped the heroes keep the time-traveling Kang from conquering the world. After the crises were averted, they again parted company with the Avengers.
Vance settled into civilian life with relative ease, as much as a public trial, a Dateline special, and four books written about him could allow, although Firestar had a rough transition settling into college studies at Empire State University. Vance was eagerly awaiting the next stage in his life, their upcoming marriage, but Firestar was reluctant. After a heart-to-heart, the couple agreed to call off the wedding, and then seemed to break-up altogether. Justice was one of the few remaining mutants who kept their powers after M-Day.
Vance was not present during the New warrior attack on Nitro and his allies which led to the Civil War. Justice and former teammate Rage learned that people were hunting down former New Warriors members because of perceived blame for the deaths caused by Nitro in Stamford, Connecticut while fighting an incarnation of the team. They both sought out the legal services of Jennifer Walters in protecting the allies of the New Warriors, as their identities were already publicly exposed. They eventually discovered that former New Warriors member Carlton LaFroyge, was responsible for the persecution and exposure of their teammates, operating a website that was slowly outing the identities of the twenty or so remaining Warriors. Him and Rage opposed the Super-Human Registration Act and they joined Captain America's Secret Avengers.
Vance would become a counselor for the Initiative at Camp Hammond. He would help the young recruits with guidance. Justice and Rage learned that someone was hunting down former New Warriors because they blamed them for the explosion in Connecticut. They find out it was hindsight who put up a hate site. Vance joined Captain America fighting Iron Man. But later on he joined the Initiative. He lead a youth outreach group of the Initiative. It later showed that he was seeing Ultra Girl secretly and when it came down to it he quit the Initiative and Iron Man could not arrest him because he done nothing illegal. Justice leaves the Initiative with Rage, Debrii and Slapstick to form Counter Force, but Ultra Girl stays at the Initiative and her and Vance break-up.
After leaving the Initiative, he was enraged and confused that a New Warriors team had been re-invented without extending an invitation to the living members of the old roster. Vance and some of the old New Warriors ( Silhouette, Rage and Debrii), and some Initiative recruits (Slapstick, The Scarlet Spiders) went after the new team. Vance confronted their leader Night Thrasher (an original member), assuming he was a Skrull for not extending the invitation to join the team and the fact that Night Thrasher appeared to have died at the Stamford Incident. However Night Thrasher revealed his true identity as his brother to his team and the former New Warriors.
After this incident and the new New Warriors disband, Justice re-named his team The New Warriors, in honor of the team her helped found.
After Norman Osborn takes over the Initiative, he places villains on the Initiative teams. Justice and the New Warriors arrive and save Tigra and Gauntlet from the Hood's Gang. With new members they again decide to re-name themselves, this time the Avengers Resistance. When Osborn invades Asgard, Justice decides it's time to fight and take back the Initiative. During the battle, Penance joins the team in their fight and later reveals his identity as Vance's former team-mate, Robbie 'Speedball' Balldwin, to Justice and Rage, who are deeply shocked at his new transformation. After the Initiative has been saved, a party is held where all Avengers attend, Justice included, there he is surprised to see Tigra's has had a child, saying he heard a rumor, but she had never showed, she explains a Cat's pregnancy only lasts two months. During the teams formation, they joined with the Mighty Avengers and the New Avengers to help defeat the menace known as the Unspoken. Justice and the team participated during the battle, and during it some members were mind controlled and forced to fight against the others. However in the end the Unspoken was defeated, releasing Justice's teammates.
Justice was one of the Avengers that Steve Rodgers called in order to create the new different Avengers teams. He was chosen by Hank Pym to become a teacher at the Avengers Academy. Where he will teach new students in how to become a skilled hero. He is joined by former New Warrior team-mate, Speedball, who is back to his old self, former Avengers Resistance team-mate Tigra and former Avenger's team-mate Quicksilver. Him and Speedball were chosen by Hank because they founded their own super-hero team when they were the students age. They'll help them into replicating their successes and in avoiding their mistakes. Vance helps Robbie calm down, after he shouts at Hazmat. Robbie is clearly not over what happened in Stamford.
Later when the Academy takes a visit to the Raft, there is a riot and the teachers are separated from their students. Justice, the other teachers and the Thunderbolts, help take down rogue criminals trying to escape.
After this Veil is revealed to have a crush on Vance when she catches him making out with old flame Ultra-Girl, Vance explains to a jealous Veil that they're just 'friends'.
Vance recently shared a reunion with Firestar where the two were attacked by their past selves during their tenure on the Avengers due to Loki (also from the past) who was trying to change history so the Avengers would disband. However, the plan failed and all the time lost Avengers were returned to their original times and Vance and Angelica were finally able to move on from past relationship and move on with their lives as friends once more.
Vance was made manifest within a week and he's been searching for his old friends, old teammates. To no avail. He found the answers he was seeking and learned that the world had been rebuilt from a Secret War. Now he searches for more answers, his old friends, and will seek to rebuild the past from the remaining present.
Adventure, excitement, heroic endeavors, and of course good times. Mostly as a player I intend to have adventure-time with this character that involves standard themes of Marvel Comics.
Vance is motivated by his love for his home, Earth and wishes to protect it from hostile forces.
Vance is a hero; and with his powers is a super-hero. By nature he stands up against those that would take advantage of the week and innocent. He will step in and try to save the damsel in distress, the unwitting bystander on the street, and the cat from the tree. With his powers he is able to enact this personality trait and in doing so takes on the name of Justice which may later evolve into Major Victory when he becomes full of himself.
Vance thinks quickly and tactically when confronted with challenging situations. He doesn't act brash or impulsive and will take quick action once he's thought and weighed the options.
Vance is a natural leader, though he will defer to the more experienced in a group setting. His mind is strong and stubborn. This can put him into confrontational situations that would otherwise be a non event.
Vance cares for the common man (or alien) and will do what he can to help those in need. This isn't necessarily a heroic thread, but that of giving.
Vance also has a hole in his heart when it comes to his former love, Firestar. Even though they find friendship, she was his first true love.
Vance has a great deal of confidence and can inspire others to act or follow him.
Vance's one and only power is the ability of telekinesis. This gives him the ability to manipulate things indirectly and at range with his mind. He is able to lift upwards of 80 tons and perform many stunts with this power <see below>.
Vance is able to perform his telekinesis on a gross and fine level. The fine manipulation gives him the ability to type on a keyboard, manipulate needle and thread, wash dishes, pluck petals and other intricate tasks without crushing the objects being held. With this ability, he can lift multiple things/people (and carry them in flight) as well as perform multiple functions at the same time. Such as maintain a force field while flying, attacking, and even carrying things. He doesn't have multiple attacks per round. But he does have multiple functionality. Each item takes an action to start.
Vance is able to focus blasts of kinetic energy with such force that he can destroy reinforced concrete, igneous rock, and rupture alloy steel plates. The force is less than Cyclops' eye blast and as powerful as a punch from Colossus.
Vance has the ability to erect force walls that can protect a maximum area of 10 meters by 10 meters. It is able to resist punches from Colossus but would fold if blasted by the likes of Cyclops.
Vance can create a force field around himself that protects him from energy and physical harm. It is strong enough to resist 80 tons of force but not the knockback involved in the assault. So if he were punched by Colossus, he wouldn't be harmed, however he could be knocked back 300 meters if he were flying when struck, less if standing on the ground. He can extend the shield around himself and two others. This shield can withstand the rigors of space (vacuum and radiation), hostile environments, the depths of the ocean, and contain a small amount of oxygen so he can survive for an hour or so. If he were to bring a breathing system, he could survive longer. He can also maintain this force shield while in a light sleep. This was especially important training when he was in space and hostile environments.
Vance can fly up to 400 miles per hour in an environment and up to 1500 in space (no wind resistance) with his telekinesis. At such speeds he would need to erect a force field around himself otherwise the wind could do damage to his skin and eyes. He can maintain these speeds for several hours but would eventually need sleep.
Vance is able to grab targets with his TK and hold them. This can restrain the likes of Colossus (for a short time) and hold many such as Spidey (as long as he doesn't squirm out) or any normal for a lengthy length of time.
Vance is able to emit a TK wave in all directions of himself that would hit targets with a maximum of 50 tons of force. This is like a shockwave that normally sends the targets sailing backwards several meters. The attack is not discriminate and could take out his companions as well.
Vance can somehow use a telekinetic tendril upon or within a persons body to tell if they are lying or not. Something like a like detector.
Due to his telekinesis, Vance has a spatial sense about him that he knows where things are in his immediate (30 meter) radius. Meaning that if he enters a room, he has a pseudo radar sense of that area. So in complete darkness he has 'bump of direction' and knows where targets as well as obstructions are.
Vance does not have multiple attacks. But he can do multiple things with his telekinesis at once. As noted in his telekinesis ability trait, he is able to perform various things at the same time in and out of combat.
Yes. Just about the whole of the super hero community. New Warriors, Avengers, Fantastic Four, and even a few X-types. Vance is well connected.
Having trained with the New Warriors and Avengers, Vance is quite skilled with tactics. Especially those that involve aerial or space combat. He is able to think in 3 dimensions and works best when aloft.
Vance is skilled with computer use, minor hacking, and database repair.
Vance has had some experience with space exploration in the past and he's familiar with how space works. That he needs to keep up his force field in space otherwise he turns to a dead Vancecicle.
Vance has idolized Captain America since he could first read about the hero's exploits in the 40s and then in the modern age. In this, he's kept up with all the articles and research on not only Cap, but the Avengers, F4 and the villains of the world. He's a fanboy of heroes and secretly villains. Having been a part of the Avengers, the Initiative, the New Warriors and even a teacher in the Avengers Academy, he's also familiar with the world's heroes and villains beyond that of articles and tabloids.
Vance is a natural leader. However he tends to fall back and defer to ones who have far more experience than him. One day, if he ever becomes Vance Astro/Major Victory, he'll be a better take charge kinda guy.
Even though this is his home dimension, he feels out of place. All of his friends are either misplaced or the teams have dissolved. He doesn't have a place where he fits in anymore and will need to pull up his boot straps and make things happen.
Vance doesn't wear a full face mask and his ID is very public. This makes for a limited social or private life.
Vance shares the same enemies as the Avengers and New Warriors. So a long list of people who would like to kick his narrow ass.
Vance killed his father. He went to jail for it. Negligent homicide. He served his time in the Vault. He regrets this. But he also never got along with his father. Therefore, he still has a criminal record and is watched by the authorities.
Early in his career Vance was stricken with headaches when he would use his power excessively. Now, he gets them when he uses his power at its peak for extended periods of time (typical combat).
Vance is allergic to dogs and cats.
Justice is a well known hero. He was a member of the New Warriors, Avengers, and even chummed around with the Thing for a while. He also has a criminal record if anyone digs deeply enough.
