Nico Hammond

History
Professor Hammond, as he preferred to be called, was a seen as one of the most promising scientists to come out of the West District's University. He has been fascinated by Abnormals and worked for Nisha to develop his curiosity. This soon lead him to finding out about his sister, Serenity Hammond's, Abnormality. In his lab, Nico tested on Serenity to find the cause for people getting powers, and he found it: Abnormal genes - people had hints and theories that this could be the reason, but he was the first person to find have evidence to prove it.

Over the years working for Nisha, he met many Abnormals - Miles, Sam, Navier and Zane - and used them to develop his research. Eventually, his research was nearly complete, but that was when Nisha fell, and he lost the funding to complete his research and find the missing piece he's been looking for: the limits of Abnormalities. How far can powers develop? What if they can break the very laws the universe bound them to? These unanswered questions drove Nico down a road of insanity.

He began to experiment on himself, taking muscle tissue, blood and editing the DNA with the samples he had to try and find the answer. During these years, he was all alone and never set foot outside his lab. None of his experiments went the way he wanted - they all failed to push the limits of physics. There was something he hadn't tried to use in his experiments yet: Dark Matter. Using his wit, Nico used different Abnormal samples to find the right combination with the ability to harness Dark Matter when electricity is applied. It took him weeks to find out his answer, and it took its toll on him; his mind was beyond repair. Once he found it, Nico built his machine and amputated his own arm to use as a tool to harness what he wanted, changed the genetics of his amputated arm and fitted it into the machine. Nico strapped himself in, and turned it on; as the machine started to function, the dark matter harnessed flowed into his blood stream, changing him, making him into something he always wanted. Professor Hammond began to levitate without the presence of a gravitational field, magnetic field or anything to allow him to do so. It all stopped as his body fell to the ground. He was dead.
